This isn’t a dig or anything. I’m a teen F from the UK and I’ve always been curious why olde guys love younger women but older women tend to love guys their age. DMs are open if you don’t feel comfortable chatting in comments

    Why does this sentence seem to completely reframe the whole question almost as bait, like the whole post is designed to lure older men to dm this teenage girl?

    When have people ever felt uncomfortable expressing their opinions on human behaviour? Especially in an anonymous setting.

    When I was a teen, I thought they were hot and they were my peers. As I’ve gotten older, youth look weirder and less attractive to me.

    I think people are attracted to health, so someone who’s young and alive will other factors being equal be hotter than someone who’s cracked and sickly. Young people tend to be healthier.

    Because they’re easier to control and fool. Also women their own age are over their bullshit.

    In nature, youth is associated with the ability to breed successfully, and a greater chance of survival/strength/longevity. As soon as animals are capable of breeding, they do.

    Just because we’ve built a civilisation, it doesn’t mean those baser instincts are eliminated. Human males are designed to be attracted to the physical changes present in post-pubescent females, so they end up being attracted to that + youth.

    There are many more reasons like taboo etc, but that’s the core evolutionary / biological reason.

      This!

      It’s all about the ability to have healthy children. A partner at the peak of their fertility will always be attractive.

    Because even as you get old, you still feel young and you associate when you were that age. They remind you of your past.

    Not sure about teenagers, but if you’re only going for physical looks generally women peak in their early 20s.

    Everyone will prioritize what they want in a partner differently but how good looking they are is almost always important.

    Feel free to argue that I’m wrong. I probably am. Who knows anyway?

    I dont know. Maybe cause its taboo it makes it hotter? Or maybe because they’re still tight and no sagging of anything?
