    I’m a man and I need a bro to explain me

    why are men attracted to younger women?

    I’m interested in women my age ± like 5 years ish.

    when I was a teen I was into teens, in my 20s I was into girls in their 20s…

    the idea of dating a 20 years old as a 36 year old man seems gross and annoying.

      Because they don’t want to date (i. e. have some kind of personal engagement), they want to play nut and bolt.

          Apart from obvious attractiveness in younger adults, I’d probably chalk it up to societal norms (and maybe there’s an evolutionary component to it as well) for males’ perceived value on being the bread winner.

          So dating younger is how you ensure they are dependent on you, and thus fulfill your purpose as a man.

      Purely physically speaking, pretty much everyone gets less attractive as they get older.

      There is, of course, a maturity gap, which is a whole different problem.

      So many mid responses to this question, so here is the actual answer.

      Men are raised to be more overtly sexual and have the most income (yes yes… my culture, my country, not worldwide, stfu we all know…) , because of this advertising has been focused on men while bombarding us with their image of perfect feminine beauty (which tends to be youthful qualities) to get us to focus on their products, seeing this your entire life you adopt that framework of what beauty is.

      Ultimately though its because the majority of the world are NPC’s following a script.
