Because the pool shrinks the older women get. There are fewer men around and [b]those who can engage a younger woman do so.[/b] The 60yo rich adonis is dating 45 and below. The nice, decent guys who want to date a woman of his age has many many women to pick from. [/quote]

This really is true.

We're longtime expats, and have lived in Eastern Europe and now in Asia.  In both places, it was super common to see middle aged expat couples divorce because the man (always the man) had an affair with a much younger local girl.  By much younger, I mean early 20s to early 30s women with men aged 40, 50, 60, and beyond.  Literally any Western man of any age is/was constantly targeted by drop-dead gorgeous young women.  The women weren't all "bar girls" or yokels from the village, either: I have a 65 year old male colleague now who is married to a gorgeous 28 year old lawyer.

As a woman, I don't know what to say.  I've accepted the reality of the situation and now believe that almost every man will choose a much younger woman if possible, and that includes leaving a wife/family.  I've just seen this happen so many times while living in countries where there is an endless supply of young women who would do almost anything to land a pot-bellied 65 year old American man.

I've seen men abandon young families with kids, wives in their 30s, wives in their 40s, wives in middle age.  It is super depressing to see this happen with a guy who initially seems like such a loving family man.

Your sample is skewed because you are partly looking at men who moved overseas possibly for better dating options.

When you look at  couples where there is not a big status/wealth disparity, it is more the norm for couples to stay together than for husbands to abandon their wives.

For those who do, the reality is more complicated, in many of these marriages the couple no longer has a good relationship, no sex.

Its rare that a man up and leaves a good, satisfying relationship for someone 20 or 30 years younger.  If this were happening all the time, women would never take the risk of getting married. And the fact is that more women than men initiate divorce

I have had probably hundreds of male friends over the years who have openly talked with me, and most men want a long-term, meaningful relationship and they don't want to blow everything up and start all over at 65. [/quote]
