Most men have children by the time they are 40. MOST men are fathers by the time they are in their 40s. And most men date/marry younger women. Which means older dads and younger moms. While younger dudes get left out until they get establish themselves—and in this horrid economy, that’s usually in their mid to late 30s.
But the problem with the age gap is (aside from the larger social implications described above) that it’s correlated with martial/relationship instability.
In fact, the older the man is or the wider the age gap between spouses, the higher the likelihood of divorce.
Marriages with lesser age gaps are more stable
statistically.
None of this means it can’t or doesn’t work for some people because a relationship is what you make it. But there are real concerns there that you need to be willing to work through in the modern age. With the advent of modern technology, the fact that more women travel and are more mobile than ever, are no longer in small towns with few opportunities…it’s hard to create the parameters for manipulation men need to get chicks to “behave” or get with their program IF that’s the primary reason why you are pursuing a younger woman. If not, this doesn’t apply.
Instead, I suggest getting a better definition of what a healthy partnership looks like, so you don’t need to rely on the hopes of molding undeveloped minds to your game plan. The power dynamics many men want from this don’t always play out the way they envision.
There are chicks out there building their bodies for dudes in their own age group off boomers’ funds. If you a sucker, the floor will be sticky no matter where or when you land.
