why do women like older men?

[wifehunter]

Status, money, confidence................and most importantly,.....................they don't chase

This guy is cool.

Because men increase in value as they age while the reverse is the case for women. Think of it as nature's way of being fair.

Are younger women more attracted to mature good looks than youthful good looks?

If you want a long scientific discussion this, check The Red Queen.

Long Story Short:

Women are programmed (into their DNA) to be subconsciously attracted to power/wealth. (Or rather their indicators).The IDEAL MAN from a DNA perspective, is the tribal leader (usually older than most of the guys but not yet out to pasture) who can secure the most resources. That he can get resources is NOT what she's attracted, she's attracted to his experience, power, leadership, etc. these are all INDICATORS of resources. (No girl thinks to herself, "hmm, I like him because he can get resources). That's why some guys that are broke can still pull. They effectively put off the "tribal leader" vibe. This is subconscious attraction, not rational thinking.

Men are Programmed for YOUTH. And anything that represents youth. WHY? Because young girls can have more babies that old girls. So guys who liked young girls made more copies of themselves than guys who liked old girls.

Women Like Older More Powerful Men

Men Like Younger Attractive Women

DNA, not society, not conditioning, not culture.

While I agree with your post almost entirely, I disagree with the assertion that it is entirely biological.

To me, there is no doubt, that societal conditioning has effects on the love game.

I am 38, I am in the best shape in my life and look about 32.

I get more looks from women in their 20s and sometimes teens now then I did when I was in my 20s.

I am NOT complaining, but what is it?

Are younger women more attracted to mature good looks than youthful good looks?

Why are you putting the onus on women? Maybe you've changed. Maybe in your 20s you didn't know your left hand from your right hand and that you are in your late 30s you are much more perceptive.

And bro why are freaking out over a women 'looking' at you? What good is a look? I'd rather them not look at you and you have sex with them.

It is sum of many thing , age is one of the important factors in mating , but if you are very good in the rest you might be able to stay competitive, that is why women spend all their fortune to look young , they know its value better than me

I might argue that our susceptibility to social pressure (social proof to be specific, and not the PUA kind, but in general) is biological, as those ancient cavemen who "went their own way" and didn't follow the crowd as an INSTINCT didn't live pass on those genes.

The thing about our instincts is they are very "transferrable" meaning "signs of wealth" in one culture are different than another, but they still satisfy the deeper instinct.

But I'm speaking of the deep, subconscious attraction that "most" women feel. To be sure, woman can overrule their subconscious desires with conscious planning just as bodybuilders override their desire to eat cheeseburgers with consciusly chosen meals.

But in general, the ideal man for a woman, ALL ELSE EQUAL is older and more powerful rather than younger and just starting out.
