    It's actually an issue that is addressed by evolutionary psychology. Men are attracted to younger women because they are the most fertile and will remain so for a longer period of time. Women are attracted to men based on the appearance of strength and the ability to protect their children as well as pass on those genes to the next generation.

    • hmmmm psychology is subjectively based on what people want to find within it (hence so many conflicting models of health).

      A younger man's sperm will have far more sperm per amount and fewer defects, so you could say that is a reason for women to lust after a young lean man in his prime, rather than a older man that is no longer in his prime?

      Personally as a woman my head turns to those men that are most physically attractive (just the same as a man's head turns when a 20 year old slim/pert woman walks past).

      Women are attracted to strength, but this is a sign of fitness and youth and not a sign of material wealth?

      Women have always been almost sold to a man that could support them financially (nothing to do with attractiveness) this is why they always ended up with older men and hence why I don't understand why society still dictates that women 'like' older men now that they can actually choose?.
