I will be honest. Men Value youth in women a lot, but other factors play parts too. Such as an older woman being too pretty and fit. Jennifer lopez lets say. Also younger women won't date an older man unless he is a millionaire so men tend to pick then a woman his age range

Well it's not like 20 yo girls suddenly become unattractive as you age... And older girls just apparently manage to get fat. It's like there's a law that you have to be fat by 30... This isn't a unfair stereotype, it's what I see with people around me so I don't claim it's every girl. It's just what I see with my own eyes.

Well we don't get more pretty as we age. That's just nature. And sure looking for beauty is superficial but after all humans are animals that strive for procreation with that best possible mate. And we'll the best possible mate for procreation is not a 45 yo woman that had her menopause already. It is a fact that the older the woman, the more likely it is to have birth complications or birth defects in the offspring. I think we instinctively know that, which is why we go for young girls. However for companionship, 20 is too young for me already so I guess that's a factor too.

@bamesjond0069 you got a point in this, but also its difficult to assume a woman got dumped a lot or dated a lot based on her age, maybe she was married to one man for years. also being dumped and facing heartache doesn't mean a person stops being nice
bamesjond0069

@Meropatrick technically true. But lets see how many sweet practically virginal women in the 30+ range you can find. I won't hold my breath. I've maybe met one who almost was as sweet as a young girl and she was a virgin but tbh to be a virgin by 28 you got to be pretty weird.

@bamesjond0069 Let me tell you what I think of that idea, especially if the guy is 50 to 55. Having kids at that age is pretty damn selfish in my opinion. If you have a kid at 55, you'll be 65 when they're 10 and 73 when they graduate high school? No, that's just wrong. But this question and responses have a lot of assumptions going on, including my own (which are at least based on people I know and what I see). All I can say about the "sex" thing is that I'm 34, and 18-25 year old women look a heck of lot sexier to me (in general), than 40 - 50 year old women, in general. I'm not saying there aren't a ton of great looking older women, but the question is about preferences. The asker presumes older guys prefer younger women, and I believe that's correct... in general !!! :)
bamesjond0069

I think its true but not just sex. There are lots of reasons men prefer younger women. Simply saying sex is wrong. As a 30is something year old who would date a 20 year old obviously fertility is a benefit. I don't know where your base assumption about 50 year old men comes from. Do you not consider a 10 year difference younger? I want kids so i primarily date women for fertility as the primary reason why i like younger girls. But maybe you just never thought of it? No girl my age is going to be able to wait a few years then be able to give me a large family. So even if i wanted to date a girl my age i just can't.

@bamesjond0069 I'm not denying there are many other reasons an older man may prefer a younger woman. I'm saying that sex is a leading reason. And I'm also NOT saying that anything at ALL about kids and family building for someone our age. What I DID say is I think it's selfish for a 50 - 55 + year old guy to start a family, period. It's not fair to the kids... in my opinion.

Usually, if they have the option, men prefer younger women, but young girls don't like older men. In fact, if our society didn't prevent it, 14 to 16-year-old girls would be better than 20-year-old women. Queen Inhyeon married King Sukjong as his second Queen Consort in 1681, at the age of 14. Religious scholars believe the Virgin Mary was age 14 when Jesus was born. Joan of Arc was sued for breach of promise at age 16, a typical age for girls to marry at the time. She won the case.

People died at 30 that is why they were together earlier and children teenagers weren't considered really of value so they had to go to work at an early age.
DWornock

@sejla People still die before age 30. Joan of Arc's mother was 81 when she died in 1458. King Yeongjo of Joseon (now Korea) was also 81 when he died in 1776. Super Model Waris Dirie was 13 when she fled to escape an arranged marriage to a 60-year-old man. In Somali 9 is considered a suitable age for marriage and if a woman is not married by the age of 16 she is often considered flawed and thought to bring bad luck to her family. Childbirth is easiest for girls in their teens because their bodies are more flexible. Also, teenage girls have more stamina and energy than women in their 20. In Biblical times people were married at a very young age. Girls were usually betrothed before they reached puberty – majority of the time the marriage would have consummated when the girl reached puberty. In the USA, culture, not biology, determines the average age that women marry.

Not all teenage girls have bodies that are developed enough to give birth easily. They haven't finished growing and there should be no problems with birthing well into a woman's 30s. The woman's body produces hormones to get more flexible. Girls needs to have a life separate than reproducing at that age.

@sejla You look for the rare biological exceptions. My biological arguments are based on what is normal. However, in the USA, our society's laws and customs, not biology determine the best age range. That is why, in the USA, almost all adult men are not interested in having sex with14 to 16-year-old girls, even though, their biology would say otherwise.

@sejla Absolutely it implies it was not harmful to our species. If it was harmful, natural selection would have selected a different path. Even a 1 percent (0.01) advantage per generation is equal to 1.01^1,000 = 21,000 to 1 advantage in 1,000 generations (about 20,000 years) which is an extremely short time in our evolutionary history.
