To ask if most straight men are attracted much younger women?

I can’t speak for most men , we have a 44 year old relative dating a 23 year old currently and my husband was quite put out of by it . While on the phone to another relative without me present ( I was having a shower and had just come down ) I heard him say “ what is wrong with him , I could never date someone as young “ . He truly seemed to not get hey he would do it , so I’m not sure most men would pipe like a younger partner . Maybe attracted to them yes but I think most mature men realise a relationship is more than that ?

And this society, or any other, wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for early men's (and women's) reproductive strategies. If males favoured pairing up females well into their 20s and 30s and females mated with the friendliest, gentlest males, rather than powerful ones with the most resources, Homo Sapiens, or one of its progenitors, would be long extinct. Evolution has specifically selected for the traits that you now find so detestable. Can you really not see this?

I’ve had the opportunity to be with a man for money - I didn’t take it.

The answer isn’t yes for everyone.

It's a bit like asking a woman if she'd get with someone for his money. The answer is yes, but no one likes the image associated with it so it's one of those things people think but don't say.

So, why have you name changed? Are you ashamed of yourself?

Also do you ask male friends if they fancy 15 year olds? That must be an odd conversation.

My husband likes women around his age. It comes across in lots of things he says and does, the celebrities he thinks are attractive, even the porn he watches. He obviously thinks beautiful young women are beautiful - they are - I think hot young men are hot. But he wouldn't lust after one.

Who knows? The girl in question had SEN.

I’d be fuming if my 16 year old autistic dd was being taken for a ride by a 26 year old man.

I did imagine myself holding a sword, poking out the eyes of the men ogling my DD aged 16 in Spain recently, she looks much younger too. Wearing a nice flower dress with sandals. Weirdo's. 🤮

Ohhh, of course. Men and their poor old ancient brains. Let’s feel so sorry for them.

Or let’s accept that we now live in a society where many of us wouldn’t have lived at all without modern medicine and civilisation.

If they're still together now, wouldn't that make the relationship a success?

16? Or 20's?

When I was at school in year 10 two girls in my class were dating a couple of men who were 26. The girls were only 15. Its sick. One of them is still with the guy to this day. 11 years is of course fine when you’re both older. But not when one is a school girl.

People are also far less sympathetic when women are the ones wielding the abuse of power like Brittany Zamora

"AIBU to ask if most straight men are attracted to much younger women"
Name changed for this.
As a straight man, I have to answer "Yes they are."
There might be exceptions, but I can only say I have never met one.

You do realise that older women are not automatically old and saggy. Similarly, not all 19 year olds are attractive.

I know a few saggy expanding 19 year olds, the spandex leggings show everything, holding it together, heavy makeup, huge lips.

Beautiful people will always be attractive throughout their life.

Exactly this. Are they superficially attracted to them? Absolutely.

Does that mean they want to date them in the real world? no, not necessarily.

A bit like I can see that the cast of magic Mike is very easy on the eye, but it doesn’t really go any further than that.

Eh? Actually, I think you've proved my point. I've explained basic biology, and your response is to suggest I'm male, and a flasher to boot.

Sorry, but in your user name because you like to flash from bushes or something?

Then should you not be campaigning for the age of consent to be raised to say 18? It makes no sense to legalise 'kids' having sex.

Vilest of the vile. She didn’t notice luckily partly because she was feeling really ill. She’s taller than me, but looks like, well a 13 year old.
It gave me the rage because I remember getting adult male attention suddenly at 12/13 and being absolutely bewildered and embarrassed. It was horrible, unwanted and really confusing.

This thread shows how so many are sadly lacking in critical thinking skills. It's more fun to rant about all men being disgusting sex perverts, rather than acknowledge the more ancient parts of their brains are simply receiving and reacting to information being communicated to them, as millions of years of evolution have programmed them to.

I think you are massively overthinking this OP.

I HIGHLY doubt there are many men in their 30/40s lusting after 16 year old girls.

That's just Jimmy Carr's humour......and like most other comedians, the jokes they make aren't a true reflection of society. They are just jokes.

Do you think what is attractive to men in a partner is changing as we are changing? A couple of decades ago I think men would have put nurturing and sweet near the top of the list. Is it changing to earns well and is financially literate?

People joke about Leo and his girlfriends but it really is getting to the point where he just seems like an immature creep leeching on girls who are young enough to be his daughters, and if he keeps up this rate of turn over, will be young enough to be his granddaughters…
even the straight men I know have moved him from ‘legend’ category into ‘ I dunno man, aren’t you starting to be a bit weird’ category.

Gross. That's a paedo.
