They want a mommy

It's all fine and well until the guy wants to start a family and then dumps "older woman" for a younger one. > Ashton Kutcher

It may not be that new. An older woman "made a man" of me in the 70s.

I do like some of the reasons they gave.

But I've always preferred the man be older than I. I may go a few years but not more than ten, IF I were dating.

Mother substitutes?

The younger men who were after my wife when she was in her 30's only had one thing in mind.

Or perhaps it’s younger guys are in demand by older women?

Age gap relationships are constantly in flux. It's hard to say what is popular or not because it's changing that much.

Us older 'officially mature' men (I'm 57) are smart enough to know that dating and marriage brings no rewards (for men) so we just stop doing it and move along with life.

why age-gap relationships are so popular

What on earth does this mean? You don't choose who you fall in love with (or even who you hook up with). "Popularity" has nothing to do with it.

Relationships aren't fashion. 🤦‍♀

I don't seek out older women I just end up with who I end up with 🤷 oftentimes they're just slightly older than me but never much. Idk, maybe I just feel like women younger than me don't really have the same priorities or know what exactly they're looking for yet. & That stuff is pretty big to me
