I won't argue your facts but, personally, none of this is my experience. I've almost always dated women in their 30s or 40s even when I was in my 20s. My fiancée just turned 50 and I'm 53. I guess for me this is "cradle robbing." Most of the dudes I've known always had same age mates as well. Guys that always hang with "girls" never seem to grow up themselves. Strong women with a life of their own and some experience have always been much more interesting and attractive to me. Being a "teacher" to a "girl" all the time sounds exhausting to me, frankly. It always seems like an unbalanced partnership when I see it.
