This is like how men ask why women go for the bad boys when they are young and then, after those guys stop paying attention to them, they then go for Mr. Responsible. And then women act like "oh, no, NOBODY does that, nobody I know and certainly not me!! Probably only one woman ever did that, but you stereotype us all!"
The same goes for men. Brad Pitt was way hotter 20 years ago. Sure, he still could get lots of women. That doesn't change the fact he has gotten less hot.

Sean Connery as James Bond...hot hot hot!
Sean Connery in Entrapment...not so hot.

We get it...women are hotter when they are younger. But not all young women are hotter than older women. It depends on the individual. Not all young women get hit on by older guys.

See: Rebel Wilson vs Sofia vergara

I think it's more reflective of reality that attractive people get hit on, and if they are young and attractive they get hit on the most. Shocking, I know.

And yes, personality is mandatory. Looks without personality or substance are pretty useless.
Nope. Just your average middle-aged Caucasian lady, lol.

It's all subjective. I saw a meme on Facebook the other day showing Mark Wahlberg 20 years ago and Mark Wahlberg today. He looked great in both pics, but I thought he was much hotter in the more recent picture. The younger "baby face" does absolutely nothing for me. Same with Brad Pitt. A more mature look is definitely hotter if the person is taking care of himself.

Sure, but that's total cherry-picking. I mean, Sofia Vergara at age 60 will be hotter than Rebel Wilson ever was. What does that prove? Only that people aren't really attracted to Rebel Wilson. At all.

Do guys get less attractive as they get older? ABSOLUTELY. Yeah, Brad Pitt looks like a bum now, with his scraggly and douchy goatee braided with rubber bands. (For the record, since I'm a guy, I never "got" why he was the hottest man in the world. I realize he's attractive, but no more so than an average guy on the street, in my opinion.)

Thing is though, I aspire to be like Mark Zuckenberg, not Wahlberg. Young, smart, and successful .

Haha

I'm sure a lot of younger women married for convenience or security -- or in some cases were set-up in arranged marriages - but you can't accurately say that those were the main or only reasons for younger women marrying older men.
My great great grandmother was forced by her family to marry my great great grandfather and there was a forty year age gap. It was pretty apparent in her letters she left. She was very bitter he lived as long as he did. He had money and land. She had youth and beauty. Her parents got a fairly good settlement.

Most people did not marry for romantic love the same way we do now. I don't think any teenager ever thought...wow that fifty year old guy is so amazing...swoon. They might think it about a 25 year old, but you are deluding yourself if you think that about a much larger age gap.

That's like me thinking I am hotter than a good looking twenty year old. I'm attractive, but come on...

I find Zuckenberg's innovative ideas to be very attractive. A simple thought, lots of dedicated research & software development work, and Bam, all of a sudden you have made a major breakthrough in communication technology. It follows the KISS formula we engineers learn about .

Hot women (especially young ones) are everywhere, at the supermarket, at the gas station, at the restaurant, at the beach, at the mall, at work, even at the hospital so you can't run fron them, you can hide from them and you can't avoid them, I think hot and sexy women especially the young ones are in this planet for one purpose, to tourture men who love and admire the female beauty especially us "older men". I have to wrestle with that torture every day and remain civilized. Why are so many women so beautiful?

Because they generally find younger men more attractive, though I'm young myself so I don't fall in that category.
