Yup and younger women hold a higher value than younger man
exactly. Men are supposed to be building themselves when they are young hence they cant compete against a Grown man who has built something.
During a womans prime she should be presenting her case to a mate that she is worthy and a man seeking a woman has built something which shows he is worthy of being a provided.
The only time a man and woman should be the same age and they are together is if both were older (say in their 30s) and meet the requirements of provider and nutuerer.
Very rarely is a man 25 or under on his game/established so usually relationships during that age is filled with headaches (woman having no paitence for a mans struggles, and a man cant fully focus on building because he must care for a woman).
IMO dudes shouldn't be in relationships pre 25 unless they are a rare case where they have established themselves and already have their own homes.
Most so called "Career" focused women tend to target bummy dudes or dudes who have not finished building because this gives the women leverage and they can feel like they are domineering over the man (i.e. the Baby Boy syndrome where dudes girlfriend is like his mama).
Women have zero leverage over a Man who has built something for himself and is established.
