Yes it can. But lets not forget that she is a millionare that gets paid to look good. She has personal trainers, plastic surgeons and personal chefs. She eats perfect and works out daily. And Id bet just about anything when she takes her clothes off she doesnt look all that perfect. Probably still good though.

I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

I bet she's pretty damn amazing in bed too, just quietly.

Hello again. I apologize for implying that you referred to 40-year-old men. I was remembering an article that someone posted (I thought that was you, but I must be mistaken) that talked about why older men are ideal mates for younger women. It's not the article you just posted. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything unique enough about that post where I can find it again. I was off on a tangent.

Your link recommends a 14-year difference, by the way, which would make a 16-year-old's ideal mate 30, not 22.
JustJulia,



My quote:

Things change and I don't expect a 15 year age difference to be a norm, but what we are doing now does not seem natural.


I have no idea why you skipped over my qualification.

Men are intitially attracted to youth in females and this is linked with their tendency to bond with women, then their bond is overriding. Was I suggesting pre-industrial Finnish societies were the gold standard?

And you have seen them without clothes on???? I beg to differ! Woman age much better than men these days. I am 37 and let me tell you, most men have beer bellies, are balding but they still seem to think they are gods gift, it's hilarious

I think a big part of the falling apart is this-when most women have a nice body (big butt, nice boobs), these things grew naturally, most likely by senior or junior year in HS. When men have a nice body, its because they had to work for it, it doesnt just show up. With that in mind, men know what they have to do to maintain it, while women think that hot body will last forever.
Plus men still look good with grey hair or rocking a bald head. When women start graying or losing their hair, the attractiveness starts to wane.
Uhhhh...no they don't!

Gwynedd, the majority of my posts on this thread are a reaction to some 30+ year old men, justifying acting on their "male biological imperative to spread their seed" with a girl who has reached the age of fertility (whether that be 16 or younger ) as long as she remains at the age of consent.

Now if you don't ascribe to this school of thought, then most of my posts don't apply to you. BTW: If you read my posts, I'm surprised you didn't see what I was referring to?

As far as the article you linked to, it stated that the optimal age gap in marriage between the 17th-19th century (based on maximum reproduction in a lifetime) was between 14-15 years, but in actuality the average age gap of marriages was only 3 years.

Today, reproduction is no longer the focus of every relationship, so this research is not as relevant. I do think that nature isn't always fair. I do believe that as women age they begin to lose their relative advantage (youth, beauty, fertility) while men tend to gain it (financial success, maturity, status). So maybe we have nothing to argue about?

That was when I was younger. I am a changed man now.

Is the forbidden? not trying to diss anyone, just asking a serious question.
I don't know... maybe some guys are pigs? Maybe some guys like naive girls who don't know a creep when they see one AND they have a body to go with it? Maybe they know older women won't put up with their crap? Just speculating...


Oh, and I'm referring to older guys dating YOUNG girls like 16-19.
