I said in my original post, that looks often have a strong psychological underpinning to them. I've seen women older than me look younger than me, it's still a turn off when I hear about their real age.
That's strange, that's a total turn on for me. It's actually a BONUS if an older woman LOOKS young. This is usually due to genetics or sometimes their nationality.
IE - Asian women tend to look at least a decade younger than their real age. I once dated a 40 year old that does a lot of clean eating. Very GREEN girl. Kept herself healthy. When I was dating her, someone told me that she looked 25. lol. So I was rather proud of that. It's like robbing the cradle, when you're not.
Dunno, dude, the 22= prime, and this. This is the first I'm hearing someone having this belief. Can't really buy into it.
The height thing, yeah, I hear how women want to "feel protected", even though a shorter guy could just as well protect a woman as a taller guy. But...what are we protecting them from? I think they are talking more of a primal situatoin.
Believe it or not, I've even been turned down by thicker women. They don't want to appear bigger than their boyfriends. Not all of them do this, but I've been rejected by women with bigger waistlines than mine. I found it odd, considering I figured some bigger women weren't much for attracting men.
But it's a 2nd element. Overall, they don't want to appear "bigger" than their sig. others both horizontally AND vertically. The latter was quite strange.
For men wanting younger women is much more than just "looks". I've heard women try to contemplate why men are so crazy about younger women "they're like.. younger people look better.. but still". They don't understand the psychological desires men have in wanting age gaps. They're looking at things through feminine eyes, and sadly in this culture the feminine viewpoint is one that average person can really grasp.
As far as "wearing out", rougher skin is not going to look as bad on a man as it does on a woman. Not to forget to mention men have thicker skin than women and it takes longer for it to wrinkle up.
Well, some men like younger women because their ability to still give birth to children.
I believe the world record for a woman to have childbirth without much medical intervention was in her early sixties.
Not to mention men don't want women who are in their last leg to have children. They want a young fertile women with years ahead of her.
Speaking of which, although I much prefer to date a child-free woman...as I am also child-free...I find that even 40+ women...who never had children are still getting the baby cravings. I had to end a dating situation with a 40 year old woman because she wanted children and I did not. She was moreso wanting to foster, but still....don't want a kid in my life at my age (mid-40s)
She actually said that was the reason she broke up with her last boyfriend and moved down here with her parents. At the time she was in her 30s, and he was my age, but dunno if he changed his mind laterr on her.

But yeah....I find it odd that women over 40 still want kids. And those that do have children, I prefer them to be at least high school-aged. Even better out of the house. I mean, what's the desire to be in your AARP card carrying age in your mid-50s when you're only 55 year old taking your 10 year old to school with the other 20 and 30 something parents?
I had one single mother actually tell me I may be better off dating much younger women, as they are less likely to have kids than women my age. So in a sense, younger women would be kind of the same life stage as me.
1. Never married
2. No kids.
3. Just 20 year age difference. lol
