Why do people expect Guys to date younger girls?

I think it's because most girls- not all, want more mature guys? Generally older guys are more mature, understanding, hence girls look for that kind of security ect,
Though it depends from person to person, that's just in general. You can get some women who are into younger guys....it depends on the person imo

I personally will go for guys older than me

Guys want mature women as well?

Yeah I mentioned that too but in a really bad way! deffo! It does depend on the person and how they think

will you go for a guy that's mature but happens to be younger

Due to the stereotype that men's 'bodily urges' will lead to them always trying to seek a younger, fitter female. Also because of the mentality 'Bro, get them young and attractive ones while you still can because they will not want you anymore when you will be older unless you are rich'.

Of course that is BS with just a little basis in biology, but who cares as long as you love each other?

(On a side note, I find it a bit creepy that a guy who finished university would date a girl who is maybe in her last year of A-levels or barely starting university... Of course, that ends up not mattering as you get older, but at that point in time, it feels more relevant as you would be in different stages of life.)

The fabled maturity gap, I'd say. The idea is that men mature a lot slower than women so a man dating a woman of the same age as him or older would be a constant drag on the woman...

Which definition of fabled is intended here?

It isn't ******** as the above poster says.

Women age faster.

I'm only really aware of one: common knowledge that may not be true in all cases or all of the time. That's what I meant by it, anyway.

I agree fully with the last paragraph. I said something similar and nobody seemed to get the idea of 'different stages of life'.

It isn't ******** as the above poster says.

Women age faster and men do care more about how their partner looks than women.

Of course, men also tend to mature a bit slower, especially around the 18-21 mark. I feel most 18 year girls are as mature as most 21 year old guys I know. Once they both hit 22 though it's roughly the same, until they get to the point where they have an actual career rather than just a temporary job and start living alone for a long time managing all their finances away from uni and home, so that's like... 26ish?

Now what I don't know is if women get around to that before men. I doubt they do tbh. So after 25 I don't think it matters other than the fact that generally a guy at 25 will look better than a woman at 25.

Ah, I think it means something that's a myth too; wasn't sure if you were implying it's not true or that it's sometimes true.

Im in my early 20s and my GF is 2 years older, we've both finished uni and lots of our friends think its weird and that I should be dating a girl who's like 18-19. My brother who is 27 has a GF who's in her early 30s and again gets told he should be dating a girl who's in her early 20s and not one his age, and not an older woman either. And both of us get told to marry before we're 30 (we're English so its not culture).

Why do people give a **** unless you want kids? (neither of us do ) Even if u do my mam popped me out at 32 so dont see why its an issue? It's not like either of us are on that Mlif time.

Uh no. Women literally age slower. They have slower metabolisms and live longer.

Their looks.

You know what I meant my dear pedant

A few wrinkles aren't as big of a deal on a man. Nor is him gaining a bit of a belly. It's just how it is. A male's aesthetic value doesn't come from being super duper lean or being absolutely spotlessly pretty.

Are you attracted to men?
