Have you ever wanted to Date someone

54. Women don't want to hear it, so we just pretend biology doesn't exist. Got it!

Why is it that, for the biggest part of history, older men (in their thirties or even forties) married young women half their age? For tens of thousands of years this happened. Because young women are more fertile and thus more appealing to men, who have to produce offspring. You know, to keep the species from going extinct. And yes, we have evolved over thousands of years; we live longer now; we don't HAVE to pick younger women anymore; thanks to technology women can have kids at high age nowadays; we even have birth control now, so we don't HAVE to get kids if we don't want to. All true. But all that doesn't mean that evolutionary speaking, we're still wired that way. We still have that instinct. We still think young women are more attractive (physically, I mean). But because we are SUPPOSED to not think that way anymore, we pretend this is not true. Because women don't want to hear all that, we pretend that men who do follow their nature to be "rather stupid and dense and shallow". We blame men for how they are biologically wired, because self-imposed, made-up societal mores dictate that we are too exalted to acknowledge our true nature. (You know some people even don't want to acknowledge we're mammals; that we're animals, really.)

Who ever said we should drop a hot chick when she gets older? Did I say that? Please quote me on that. You'll have a hard time finding such a quote, because there is none. That's an assumption you made, a caricature you needed to paint me as "rather stupid and dense and shallow", because I was pointing out how arbitrary some societal mores are, and some people just can't handle it when that's pointed out. So they resort to strawmen.

I'm not Newt Gingrich, so I'm not saying that whenever a woman gets older we should drop her. All I'm saying is that, when we look at physical beauty, and physical beauty alone (not regarding all the other traits women have to offer, like intellectual stimulation, or humor, or caring etc.), young women are more attractive to men than older women. No matter what age category the guy is in. And it's completely natural for an old(er) man to be more attracted to a young woman than to a woman his age, when it comes to physical appearance. But because women won't acknowledge that biological fact, we have to pretend such men are creepy or icky, because society has told us so for the past 150 years or so. (All the men in the tens of thousands of years before that must all have been sick and twisted pervs.)
