Why does society say women have to be younger than men?

When the woman is older than the man in a relationship, it seems to be unacceptable, especially if there is more than a couple years age difference... but it's okay if men are with much younger women. Why is that? I happen to like younger guys.

    MEN run society, thus these stupid "rules"

    Believe it or not, it is the women who set this, studies have shown that many (not all) women have to look up to the man they are with. If by experience (age), intelligence, what they make, height, strength. Women pick different things. A woman wants a man who is tall, dark and handsome. Tall is not first on accident. That is why men are usually taller than the women also. It is all stupid but it is the tendencies of humans.

    Yes Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus.

    (sorry, could not resist)

    You may perceive that there is some larger force dictating people's tastes.

    I enjoy thin women younger than myself but that is just me. I do not care if other guys like older women who are heavier and in fact it benefits me personally if no one else shares my tastes so I have more available women to interact with.

    I do not care about other people's tastes in partners or any other preference he or she may have.

    However, the reality is that people choose whom they are attracted to.

    If you want to be happy and find someone special then get off the internet and go outside and engage in some activity where you will come in contact with men you find attractive and then wait until one likes you back.

    You must have some interest be it spiritual, political, cultural, hobby, sport, etc......just go out and pursue that interest and Wait until you meet A guy you like who likes you back and let the relationship run its course and if need be repeat the above until you find happiness.

    It is that simple.

    You may not like some people who like you.

    I hope you find someone and it makes you happy.

    Because rules of society were set ages ago, and are very slooww to change. I like younger men also, and it is becoming more acceptable if you care about society rule. I could care less. I am going to do what makes me happy.

    i think of attempting to handle it as a activity of 'who has the extra ****' is inherently no longer straightforward. women individuals are advised to the two be pristine inhuman goddesses free of any style of sexual choose, yet additionally to no longer be frigid sexually barren hags. there is not any in between for that dichotomy while it includes perceived standards and that's ******* terrible. having pronounced that, dudes are advised that intercourse is the cornerstone to existence. the extra women individuals you **** the extra prestige you attain. i do no longer choose to assert that one inevitably has it extra suitable or worse, individually i think of ladies individuals have it worse frequently -- it rather is only that once it devolves right into a activity of 'who's the main important sufferer' it attracts faraway from the larger factor it rather is this could be a humongous project and must be dealt with. no person ought to sense forced into having intercourse, no person ought to sense obligated to be chaste, and no person ought to sense entitled to intercourse. the crux of this is that no person ought to sense obligated to do something they do no longer choose to do till in the event that they ought to actual do it. the way that we individually sense approximately something shouldn't result how we work together with one yet another on a base, human point. we ought to constantly be extra motivated with the aid of empathy than our very own petty ethical squabbles. i understand this sounds so glaring that it could as properly be a tautology yet curiously it is so undesirable that it warrants having an rather communicate approximately it. i do no longer care what number ***** you have had interior you or what number property you have positioned your dick into, and that's the way it would be.
