In reply to the discussion: Study: Men of All Ages Want Women in Their Mid-20s [View all]TheBlackAdder
(29,981 posts)Many of these guys live in a fantasy world where they think they are closet teenagers and somehow believe that women in their mid-20's find men in their 40's and 50's attractive. Besides some father complex, most women in their 20's find severely older men gross and, if the male approaches them outside of their boundaries, they will think of them as dirty and skeevy.
Just like how most teen boys find women in their 30's and 40's gross. That mentality does not escape most of them as they age.
Their unrealistic world sees themselves as being attractive to younger women. Some younger women might go out with an older man, to get things that they would note be able to get from their male peers, but that's a small subset of women. Yet, these delusions persist in a lot of men. Sort of like the Russian Bride thing. Do you really think that the normal hot Russian woman really wants a severely older or repulsive male for her to marry? That's another male fantasy. When she comes to the States, she'll hook up with younger Russian peers for at least emotional companionship or more.
You know that old adage, how men are really boys inside... with many, there is truth to that.
