Why is it that some women/girls are attracted to older guys?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Well, from my limited understanding of psychology, women are attracted to men who are older (but not like Rolling Stones old) because they are more likely to stick around and help take care of the children that could potentially come from the relationship, because they are more mature/well versed in the ways of the world, blah blah blah. That is, they are more likely to do so than a younger male who might to find an alternative mate. So, from an evolutionary/psychological standpoint, this is more beneficial for the woman. That being said, I’m not interested in dating an older guy, but have no explanation for it.
