Why do men meet older women?

 Couples in which the partner is much younger, contradict the usual notions of what romantic unions should be. Nevertheless, some men consciously choose not the same age, but more mature women, and such couples turn out to be strong and happy.
Men meet women older than themselves much more often than we imagine.
Everyone remembers Demi Moore’s romance with Ashton Kutcher: there’s 16 years of difference between them. And this is far from the limit: the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron is 24 years older than he and taught at the school where he studied. They met when Macron was 15. And although romance began later, after his coming of age, the public's close attention to their common continued for many years.

And this situation is not unique. The condemnation of "unequal" relations, where the man is much younger, is one of the signs of our time. And yet, despite the bias of society, such unions continue to form and be happy.

WHY MEN PREFER ELDER WOMEN
According to a recent survey, young men who are in love with women older than themselves explain their preferences for various reasons, for example, consider them to be better partners than peers. Mature women are confident and self-sufficient, wonderful interlocutors, are able to listen and are not fixated on creating a family. Some argue that along with such women, their self-confidence is growing.

Men are attracted by rich life experience and emotional stability, stability, sincerity and openness to new things. One of the respondents recalled his period of meetings with young women as unsuccessful “attempts to conduct meaningful conversations in noisy nightclubs,” as well as the need to withstand the “brain removal” and immature behavior of the girls with whom he went on dates.

ACCEPTABLE DIFFERENCE IN AGE WHICH IS IT?
A survey of Gloria Cowan, conducted in 1984, showed: people tend to believe that such relationships will be less happy than "traditional". At the same time, it seemed to the teenagers and adults that the difference of 18 years would seriously affect the future of the couple. With a less significant age gap, people's judgments became softer.

So what is the “perfect” option? A survey participant who described his experience with young women noted that the five-year difference between him and his partner was not enough for the “emotional maturity and depth” of the relationship he needed. He himself realized that he prefers women at least ten years older and considers them more self-confident and broad-minded: “Women of the same age and girls do not help me grow up like women of more mature age.”

HUNTING FOR THE "PREDATOR"
So, studies have shown that many men are interested in older women. But how are such relationships created? Contrary to the "predatory" image of mature women in a leopard print created by the series, who are looking after another young lover, many say what is happening on the contrary: younger men show interest and initiative.
