Sometimes it's just about mentality. I've noticed that Slavic women do prefer older men anyhow. I'm in the process of figuring out the reasons of that. In those slavic countries marriages with a great age gap is a normal thing, it seems.
There are tons of Slavs in the Chicago area where I live. Not sure I agree with your opinion about Slavic women in general. You may be right that it's more common in Slavic countries, but I think a lot of that can be easily attributed to their poor economies.
I think some of the people on this thread that say a younger woman dating an older guy isn't actually that common are thinking about dirty old men hitting on college chicks. When I consider a typical older guy younger girl scenario, I'm thinking your typical 10 year difference, which is extremely common. I would say most the couples I know are within 5 years of each other, but I know several men in their 30's that primarily date women in their 20's and vice verse. As someone in their late 30's that's educated, financially secure, and still in great shape, a woman in her mid to late 20's will rarely turn me down due to age. I could see age being more of an issue with online dating, due to it being primarily based off of stats, but in real life my age doesn't seem to be a factor with going after women 10 years younger than myself.
In my opinion, looks are not the main reason why men age 25+ will often go after women who are college-age. The number of attractive women who are 30 years old is equal, if not greater, than the number of attractive women who are 20 years. The differences are that
(1) The available 20-yr-old women are greater in number.
(2) Women who are not yet established in their careers are easier to impress.

But I guess it isn't unusual to many here. Learn something new.
Young women are easier to control. Lots of older men like to subtly control the relationship. Older women are a bit too smart for that crap.
Older women have plenty of faults and issues as well, so let's be fair. Both genders have plenty of hang-ups, issues, and shortcomings, regardless of age or anything else.
Human fallibility strikes both genders (I would imagine) pretty equally.
