Definitely the minority, to say the least.

And certainly not the common event you seem to want to make it out to be!

1/5 married someone 10 years or younger! That's a freaking decade. A huge age gap. I'd still call 5 years a big age gap. And the plurality def are marrying younger. At least a few years younger.

But you realize- that's the minority right?! Do you understand how majority/minority works?

PP you said the event was rare. Yes 20% is not a majority of cases. But it's far more than this "I've only heard of 1 in my whole life" scenario you painted. When you add in 5 year age gaps, that means it's a plurality. You painted a false picture.

Yes, "younger" second wife is 44 and hubby is 86 and ready to die and leave her his estate.

Look, you very lonely young men who can't pull women your age who are 10s at the club, because you have no game and no $$ to spend on bottle service, you need to be more realistic. Date women who will actually date you, instead of posting on DCUM in the hopes that when you are 40, you will marry a 20-year-old Kate Upton look-alike.

Yes, I would consider to be 20% to be, if not rare, than let's just say, not terribly likely/common.

Certainly, since it seems that 80% of men are NOT marrying women in this category, I would say that's a fairly large majority.

x2. it's just so sad and everyone knows what the secret, desperately hopeful agenda is. Especially when you get so upset when people tell you that it aint all that likely.

"One in five men who remarry wed a woman at least 10 years their junior, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census data. By contrast, only one in 20 men on their first marriage pair up with someone that young."

Get out of here with your facts and research! You know only innuendo and bullshit are the currency at DCUM.

The attraction is simple biology, birds and the bees, etc. Women can have babies only when young, while men can have babies at any age.

Women are attracted to money. Men's earnings peak later in life while women's looks peak in late 20s. Men age like wine while women age like milk. What's so hard to understand about this?

Why can't some men age gracefully?

Agreed. And I am 25.

When older men hit on me and my friends, it's like a joke. Seriously, you actually think any young woman would want to play with your saggy balls?

And what's wrong with older dudes that they cant be with women their age? IMO, it's usually the sign of (several) maturity issues and/or a desire to overcompensate/show off to other men, which seems to be, in my opinion, verging on homosexual behavior. (when you are dating a person for the purpose of impressing other dudes)

As gross as you find it, might want to talk to your 25 year old chicas who are more than happy to pick up the slack. Plenty of 25-30 year old supply for 40 year old men.

No one I know. literally, no one I know is dating one.

I think there was a girl who was overweight from high school, dropped out of college, and she might be dating one, from FB. but that's the only one I can think of.

Maybe you watch too much porn.

+1. Hot young women with older men is something I almost never see IRL. I read the fables on DCUM, however. There are exceptions (I know a couple with a 17 year difference, but he was a really attractive older guy and looks much younger) but usually the younger woman is frumpy and looks older and so does the guy. Hot 25yos can get highly paid, handsome guys their own ages easily. It's still easy as a girl next door type in my early 30s and with a kid...I can only imagine for a gorgeous 25yo.

PP's claim seems to insinuate that 10 year age gaps are as rare as a size 0 who is going thru menopause. I show her data that 20% of re-marriages are men to women 10 years younger. Clearly this phenomena is not the Haley's comet scenario that PP describes.

Your data is based on second marriages, which is still a low percentage of the population. Of that group, only 20% marry 10 years or more younger. This includes 55yo men dating 44yo women. 65yo men marrying 52 year old women. Age gaps that are less severe. Men who survived their spouses and marry for companionship. It doesn't mean that most are 40yo guys with "hot" 27yos.

Note the topic of the thread numb nuts. It says "remarry"... that would imply a marriage other than the 1st. Yikes, folks.

Marrying an older man is a bad deal for the younger woman later in life. It's all fun and games when he's 40 or 45 and she's 30 or late twenties. Fast forward twenty or thirty years. No one, no matter how rich, can stop time. Older men will sicken faster and die faster. That same woman - who may no longer hot and young at 40+ but is not yearning for retirement - will play nurse to her older husband, and will age faster because he'll make her live a lifestyle much older than her actual age. And when they do die, the market isn't exactly yearning for the 50+ something widows. If it was up to me, I'd say date them, enjoy the ride but marry your peer so that you won't have to age faster or live like an older man.

Yeah right. Not enough viagra in the world to make that happen.

20 year olds regard 30 year old women as gross and untouchable. 40 year olds, forgetaboutit.

You don't even realize that you are already well past Peak Hotness.

It is no end of hilarious that women never realize how fast they're going to hit The Wall.

LOL. That is such a goddam lie. Why do you think MILF porn is popular? It's a fantasy for a lot of dudes.

Just the other day, one of my friends on FB posted about how Jennifer Aniston is the hottest woman alive, used a photo of her from now, and Jennifer Aniston is closing in on 50. This guy is about 24.

You just want to feed some pathetic MRA fantasy that once women hit 30 they will be begging for your dick, when the reality is, they will NEVER want to be anywhere near your dick. Get used to it.

Women like young men just like men like young women. However, the reverse is not always true, although sometimes it is. Goes between both sexes, and for both sexes, a lot of money can help lubricate the situation. It really doesnt relate to gender.
