Because we have a fantasy of reliving our past when we think we had all those missed opportunities’s to be a “player” but lacked the kahunas to act upon them.
Because when we look at them they remind us of a time when we were still young and free to look at women of all ages, even girls because we were still in high school. We fantasized about the older women (’30–the ’40s) we secretly lusted after wishing they were “Cougars” (I’m not sure that word was in use in the mid ’70s?). I think we called them “hot”.
Because they are so wonderfully shaped! Plus, the effects of sunlight and gravity have not had enough time do their negative effects yet.
Because we think they haven’t been exposed to as many creepy people like me, so they might not have already learned when it’s best just to ignore, and walk the other away.
Because we think they are still “innocent” of the ways men treat women and vice versa. We imagine they have not been married, and likewise, they do not have children who are 35 years old.
Because we know once they get married, it’s just not going to be the same looking at them. Even though they are too young to chase, it is thinking about all the things you could have done if you were 30 years younger, it’s like the dream is still alive inside, even though the outside has aged out of the running.
They represent all the freedoms I have lost over time. They represent the future whereas I am stuck in the past. Their dance card is waiting to be filled. When I look at them it makes me happy to think they are still roaming free, and not caged up like a she-panther trapped inside a zoo.
This will tell a lot about my feelings about males. Once they get married to one, the process of corruption will begin. They will become wise to our ways and may even feel a little jaded by the childish insecurities from all the “mommas-boy” baggage I brought along with me into my own now failed marriage. Look who’s feeling a little jaded now.
Once they learn all this “stuff” about men, there is no turning back the page. They become women and realize all the responsibilities, like it or not, our society dumps upon them, glass ceiling and all.
Life has a way of being unfair to both sexes, but on this planet, women have been treated more unfairly, “it’s just the way it is”, “somethings will never change”.
Because it is hardwired from an evolutionary standpoint. Younger females are more likely to conceive and deliver healthy offspring. Older males have “proven” their ability to survive and be able to provide for a mate and offspring. It is a survival strategy of the species.
(Everyman on the planet is attracted to teenaged girls. That is not to say a man is attracted to every teen girl. If he denies that he is either lying or gay. It is a genetic fact and survival trait. Acting on that attraction is inappropriate, and that is where higher reasoning kicks in.
From an evolutionary standpoint, it is because a younger woman can produce more offspring than an older one. A healthy 18 year old and a heathy 35 year old simply dont compare in that category. This is why we also like “younger” looking features like skinny girls, even if they are not young it makes them look young. If a girl acts naive and bubble headed, she seems young.
From an ego standpoint, most men were probably rejected by women/girls alot when they were younger. This is sort of a way to “make up” for it. The man’s current generation of women rejected him, now he will reject them in return.
From the women’s standpoint, women tend to like older men. Not just gold digger 23 year olds dating rich 60 year olds, but women like men who are like 5-10 years older than they are. Women mature faster than men and older men are more mature than their younger counterparts. Older men have more money and better careers. Older men are more interesting because they have experienced more in life
Also, younger women will have much less history with other men and less likely to have kids. Older men are more likely to want kids.
