Is it true 30 year old men would rather date a 20 year old than

The ones that were losers in school might

I find that to be degenerate.

…. You mean “Golddigger”s ?
There’s like a thousand songs about them. Don’t you even have like 10 different shows about them ? Reality “Housewives of blahblahblah”

There’s no such thing as a collective mindset at any age you fucking moron.

Yeah the creeps would (and a lot of men are creeps, whats new...). Its easier to manipulate and control someone very young. Plenty of hot women in their 30s not to mention the maturity and experience they have at that point. I both much prefer women in their 30s to socialize with and when it comes to what I find attractive. Many women in their 20s are unfortunately very insecure and competitive, not to mention the lack of experience, self respect and knowing what you want.

As with everything, it depends. Everyone is different when it comes to dating preferences.

If you're talking about on average, based on the men in their 30's I know, I would say no. Most of the ones I know are dating women close to their age, not college age. Your mileage may vary.

It just sounds like mental gymnastics based around 1950’s propaganda to justify why a 30 year old would be prowling around a college party.

I’m not sure why so many western dudes have this weird “I’ll probably be a millionaire when I’m 30 - then I’ll get a wife !” mentality. It doesn’t happen. They just end up lonely, creepy, and still broke.

Single-income households don’t exist anymore. Find an /actual/ partner and have /actual/ goals if you want a life worthy of raising children in.

Some men do, some don't. There's nothing wrong with an age gap as long as both are consenting adults. If anyone regardless of gender chooses to chase something perfect, they better be prepared to be perfect themselves. I've noticed people become very bitter when they continuously over reach for something that's out of their league.

People bash gold diggers ALL the time.

I said regardless of gender. My comment applies to any man or woman looking for what they consider perfect.

No. Call me weird, but I don't "date" prostitutes. I actually do care a little bit about connecting with the person if I'm trying to get romantically involved.

Not to say that the 20-year-old CAN'T have anything in common with me, but I think that's quite a bit less likely than someone closer to my age.

in bed yes, in public no.

Then you’re just talking about personal appearance preferences ??

No I disagree. I think that the “old timey” scramble to impregnate anyone who would take was in poor practice and was out of desperation. It led to many deaths, for child and mother.
This is not human-exclusive, I won’t even have my livestock bred until maturation further than the immediate sexual maturation. Because actual maturity of mothers is that important across the board.

Some highly undervalue the actual role of parents - which is to //raise// a child. Not just to create one. This is the typical nature vs nurture debate, and even then I wouldn’t agree that “nature” is on the side of having children earlier /enough/ to outweigh the serious nurture elements.

I can only see the “Pregnancy is better earlier on” argument being the //only// argument that could advocate for a 20 year old to be with a 30 year old. That’s why I talked about it. And extending it to 20 year olds and 40 year olds is nuts. Shouldn’t you want kids to have grandfathers and fathers who can keep up ? I mean are you just talking about hooking up ??

I’m not sure most understand just how much goes into pregnancy and motherhood. Cost and toll. Miscarriages and fertility issues are horribly expensive and horribly exhausting. Breastfeeding is rarely perfect.

There’s very good reasons that we wait now. And there were very good reasons we should’ve waited back then. There’s also good reasons why these dudes are still single…

I've never known any better that you get in a relationship with someone your age. Kinda baffles me people put this to the question this much

Age gaps don't matter as long as both people want to be involved.

It depends

In some ways yes but in a lot of ways no.

As someone who's only ever dated older men I would say there is definitely plenty of guys interested in younger women. So so so many. But im haply about that personally
