Younger women with older men?

I know this isn't always the case (so please don't be pedantic and point out exceptions) but you often see relationships where the man is several years older than the woman. You very rarely see relationships where the woman is several years older than the man. Why do you think this is? I'm 22 and would feel creeped out dating a 16 to 18 year old, so I don't understand this phenomenon. Not to go all Freudian on you, but do you think some women are looking for an 'older brother' type figure in their men?

    hmmm i'm 19 and admit that there are something about older men which is attractive, but not in a big brother way! more because of experience :)

    And btw, there are lots of relationships where the guy is younger. Example: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher!

    It depends how old you are. When you're 14 even 1 year matters.

    Now you're 22, and 4 years matters.

    When you're 30 you won't mind 5 years difference, and when you're 80 you would happily go out with a 60yo.

    Yes, some women are looking for an "older brother" or even a father figure. I know, I was married to one.

    And some guys look for a mother - my brother in law is a baby, my sister has to act like his mother.

    that phenomenon is true because for example when man which have 22 love a woman which have 18 their will be equal in mind and the man will be able in that case to give the woman what she except from him like protection and help in her life.

    take another example of a man who have 18 loves a woman which have 22 in that case the woman will more aware and more clever than man and in that case the man cannot give the woman what she expect.

    No I don't think women are looking for their older brother. Older men know what they want and are more mature. I would much rather go out with an older man that is established in life then a boy toy.

    i'm 40, and i've had "relationships" with women of all ages... from 18 upwards.. many younger women want to feel desired and secure with an older man...

    but there are plenty of younger men wanting to get with older women... there is something (when you are young) about a sexually mature (30's+) woman that is very erotic... ;) and older women like the stamina and virility of a younger man - before he becomes over weight and boring.. ;)

    The men always cheat with women. the older man always attact with younger women due to sex, relationship, and her beauty. in case of women she always very honest to her relationship with her man in rare case where the women attract with older man due to financial problem, attractionof livesh lifesytle etc.

    No...that would be wierd. Its about security and thinking that someone older is more likely to be faithful and privide you with what you need in your relationship. Older men are more mature and dont need you to tell them what to do
