Why is it so wrong for older men to like young girls, but ok for older women to like young guys?

Everytime i hear about a older woman liking a young boy,

Ex: woman 33, boy 18. And nobody says nothing about that but if a much older man like a young girl (same age examples), then the guy is considered a pedophile, a pervert, a coward, a child molester, or just a bad guy. Why do you think this is?

Update:

I'm not dating or nothing like that but it just came to my mind and just asking.

    OK I'll tell you.

    Older men like younger women because they have perky boobs and no flab yet. They have creamy skin, not wrinkles and moles. They like all the pheromones in the air. They like it tight. ( yes, i said tight )

    They envision lots of wonderful things with sweet, innocent, young girls who don't understand older men and all the games older men can play and get away with, that older women have learned over the years.

    Older women may think younger men look good, and can get the fire going much faster, but really younger men is nuts. Why would an awesome older woman want an 18 year old boy? or a 20 year old boy? or a 25 year old boy? or a 30 year old boy? We want men. We had enough of boys.

    I can't speak for other older women, just me. So im sure you'll get some very colorful answers from the older women here.

    Funny - for years it was the other way around! Actually, the age of the younger partner makes a difference. If a 30 year old wants to date a 70 year old, it's no big deal, but if a 15 year old wants to date a 55 year old, it's huge. Depends on the maturity and whether the younger person has the ability and opportunity to say no. Traditionally people think of girls as fragile and boys as sexually aggressive, so that probably has something to do with it. It's bunk. The gender is not nearly as important as the maturity of the individual - and the legal age of consent, of course.

    If no laws are broken people should just mind their business. If the couple is enjoying their relationship for whatever reason, it is theirs. No problem. I think when an attractive young girl of 18 to 20 something is with a man more than twice her age it makes the young guys jealous and the older women feel insecure.

    I don't see anything wrong in age difference except for under 18 . My Grandfather was 34 and my grand mother was19 when they got married. I have always dated older women. I personalty think it has to do More with the fact someone wants out of there house-and a way from there control of there Mother and Father's rules

    Men who date younger girls are painted as 'Rapists' and 'Creepy'. We will forever be under suspicion of that stereotype

    Women on the other hand, they are rarely shown as rapists, so no one minds if they date younger men because the women would have all the control in that relationship

    it's stereotypes

    also, because it's hot when an older woman dates a younger guy, the other way around... eh, not so much

    A woman that is 33 years old dating a boy that is 18 years old could be considered a pedophile too...

  • I don't know. Just a cultural thing, I guess. It's also weird that the age of consent for boys is 18 but in many states it is 16 for girls. Odd, huh?

    This is just an expression of the current modish hysteria about such things as sex and age. It used to be best for a girl not to get pregnant too young, as she could then not be married off easily. That's as far as it goes. lslam sees it differently.

    Its not right...The media just like to abuse the whole older man with younger woman situations which makes us think it ain't the same with women.
