I disagree with this. I'll admit that with a decade plus gap in age there's gonna be a gap in life experience, but age does not determine mindset or future potential. I know women my age who are still learning how to adult, I've also met women 8-10 years younger than me, who while may not have been through as much life lessons, but are way ahead of some older women and have a lot more potential. More importantly, men and women are on completely different clocks.
For example, a woman who is very family oriented ideally would prefer to find a partner and start laying to ground for this prior to the age of 30.. at 30, a dude either is just starting to get, or has gotten his shyt together and may not be looking to settle down for some time. In the social space, this is where they inverse each other.. at this point she's more willing to settle, while for him, the game is wide open... he has a much larger pool to choose from.
I'm not saying 35 year old dudes should be out here scoping out potential 18 year old wives.. that's just fukking weird, but to label dudes pedos for finding attractive, and wanting to have sex with, drinking aged adults... well that's just fukking retarded.
This whole thread is full of people who lack critical thinking skills.
