    This post is pointing out that few men want to date ‘older’ women while men of all ages want to date younger women.

    It’s wild how discussing age and gender inequality in dating is considered misandry.

        So on sites like these, the primary context inside of a specific thread is the thread itself, the secondary context is the post. Hope that helps.

      I think its fair to say, myself included, many women want to date older men, not 20 years older, but at least a few. For me it was like 1-4 years older is good for me.

      Honestly when dating, I found better results not worrying so much about age, but rather where their standing was within siblings and family.

      As in, I am the eldest child, and my best relationships are with other eldest (or only) children. When I would date the youngest of a family, the dynamic was so different, and I could tell he was babied by his mom growing up, I unconsciously had less respect for him. I broke up with him when I realized it consciously. He ended up marrying a nice girl years later, I learned she’s also the youngest in her family, they match.

      I’m being so unserious, and I’ve had relationships not work out with other eldest sibling people, but it’s something I noticed when I was dating. I married an eldest child, and we’re peas in a fucking pod. It probably has something to do with they way our world view forms growing up in our familial hierarchy.
