I think men don't search for older women in the first place and women don't search for younger men in the first place.
You have to look at statistics, not at special events.

Then you can think about the motivations, but I don't have that much time to tell all that.

Oh well , but they would not care about it if they fall in love . Most dont search for older lovers ( for guys ) and younger lovers ( for girls ) but when they fall in love .... everything can happen Smile

Well, I can only say about me.
1) I think nice beautiful girls who didn't have sex before are sexier. And I believe that many other guys also think in this way.
2) But still we have more contact with the guys in our age, because of school and university.

PS: And talking about general statistics, we have to guess an overall distribution.

Considering 1), 2) and PS, I think the main focus should be set at women about 5 years younger than men. And then I think that all the other ages follows in a kind of the Gaussian distribution curve. http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/gd13/04.jpg Laughing

So I think it's not the counter evidence if you say that there are also couples who are 70 and 50.




Now I have another idea. I think that the older you will be, the bigger the deviation becomes. I have an example, but it's very very bad. Let's say



If you only look at x=0 until x=20

but people think age is a problem when it comes to love, actually, people don't mean whether men or women can life longer or shorter, rather, they mean that men have more years to have sex than women do in their entire lives.

I have meaned that you change yourself a lot when you are still young like me, because at my age, five years is an enormous change.
(Think about me having a 13 years old girlfriend)

But If I will be 30, then I will think it's more than normal to have a 35 years old girlfriend.

And do you know Goethe? He had a teenage girlfriend when he was about 70.
But this case is not normal.

my recent bf is 5 years younger than me. that means when I was 5 years old, he was just born. sounds pretty weird. but when we walk together, it dosen't look that weird.

For you Asian women it is not so bad to have a younger man because you naturally look so much younger than your true age anyway. My wife is 2 years older than me, but often people who meet her for the first time mistakenly think she is a little more than half my age. Cool
