Why are young women commonly attracted to men who are older than them?
Younger women are attracted to security, also a older man usually knows how to make a person feel loved, The experience of life gives the older person more insight into deep personal feelings. Younger men can be (of course not always) be a bit thoughtless. This is not a rule and cannot be considered the ‘norm’, but it shows up in many incidences! As for why older men prefer younger women, this could be a) status for them. b) maybe they want a family and a younger woman would be more willing to start one. Older women also have ‘set’ ideas and this could cause conflict between her and her man. So we can assume a younger woman would also be easier to manipulate. This of course is all speculation, and cannot be considered the norm. It just seems like it!
