≡ Why do men prefer women much younger? 》 Her Beauty
Sometimes the age difference is an important factor
Think of Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite being 50 years old, his girlfriends have never more than 25. Or to George Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin: she is younger than 17 years old. A Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, he greater than her 11 years. And the list could continue for a long time. But why do men prefer to attend much younger women than them?
Adult men frequently fall in love with younger women and, often, women also prefer the most mature men to their peers. Although many believe that behind a big age difference in the couple you always get some left reason, the reasons for which you choose to attend younger women or older men can be many and all very valid.
It is also considered that the high frequency with which men consider the younger women of easy manipulation and control has made stories with a big age difference a stereotype of the predator man. However, often these stories are less controversial and twisted than you think. Sometimes it just happens. He falls in love with the person, without looking after his age. Sometimes it is energy, beauty and vitality that attract most of everything else.
An ancestral root
A 2020 study examined partner preferences in 50 countries around the world. From the research it came out that most of the men gives greater importance to physical aspect when it came to choosing a partner and the motivation could be less frivolous than it seems. In prehistory the person with whom to accompany himself based on potential reproductive success was preferred. Features such as youth, a strong bone structure and beauty were considered signs of general health and vitality, all indicators that would guarantee the survival of the species. The fact that men still prefer younger women all over the world today seems to be an ancestral residue born in man since the dawn of humanity.
Tradition
The patriarchate has existed since the first human societies exist. Ever since the man stopped being a collector and hunter, he has always played a role of protection for the community and the family because with his physical strength he had to defend the house, the territory and his loved ones. Hence the patriarchy with all its nefarious consequences, including the traditional idea that man chooses a younger partner to fulfill his task of taking care of it in every aspect.
Middle -aged crises
The great classic: an adult man seeks a much younger partner than him because he is in crisis with himself. Spending time with a woman who makes him feel younger and more vital seems to be a way to resist and rebel against the passing time. But the studies in support of this thesis are not many.
Why does a woman choose to attend bigger men?
In western cultures, very often young women who frequent older men are often accused of being interested in their money and that the relationship is driven by the only socio-economic advantage that could derive from it. However, some searches have shown that in 9 out of 10 cases women who are looking for stable and lasting relationships, always seek a bigger partner.
Maturity
The main reason is definitely maturity: men take more time than women to achieve mental and emotional maturity and this would explain why women often feel emotionally more compatible and safe with the greatest men.
Paternal figure in the partner
Other times, however, it happens that women grow with absent, violent or emotionally distant fathers that can generate such a profound void as to feel the need to fill it with the partner. But it can only be a professional to determine whether the attraction of a younger woman for a bigger man is born from unresolved childhood conflicts.
One thing is certain: when two people sincerely love each other and build their story on solid bases as trust and respect, the relationship has all the credentials to work, regardless of the age difference. Many therapists even argue that this type of relationship can be an excellent opportunity for personal growth. Others argue that these types of relationships usually have high levels of maturity, which often translates into the continuous research of very high relational standards, without being satisfied with the circumstances.
