And nobody has more choices than a 28-year-old woman. But see, for older men who covet younger women, it’s not whether you look good for your age - it’s what age you really are.īecause it’s competitive out there for all of us, people have choices. If you’re over the age of 40 and have ever said, “But I’m told I look five years younger than my age,” then you’re not immune to it yourself. But let’s not pretend that we, as a culture, don’t worship at the altar of youth. I do think people improve with age (my wife is nodding). Or 40.īefore any 40+ people get all hot and bothered about this - I am not judging. She can find that same amazing guy at age 30. Put another way, if a woman has an array of other quality options closer to her age range, what incentives would she have to date an older man who is SEVENTEEN YEARS OLDER? Older guys want much younger women, but rarely do much younger women want much older men. Still, most of them fail miserably, for the exact same reasons that I think Penelope is suggesting.
