When a grown person prefers people much younger than they are for relationships, it is usually a sign that they fear intimacy- my opinion is based on years of empirical evidence, btw. The reason women object to guys dating much younger women is that it devalues mature women. Women over thirty are GORGEOUS and they are also much wiser than young girls- so why exclude them? It doesn't make much sense. How would you feel if every woman your age wanted guys ten or twenty years younger than you? You'd be annoyed too, right? But of course you'll never have to deal with that because our society considers men in their 40's to be vital and still attractive, whereas women over 40 are considered over the hill. You can't deny that that polarity exists, and that it is stupid. If you deny that, you are in denial
