Can't older women marry younger men? - Page 3

There is also a reason why women generally marry older men, not significant age gap, but even a few years older than them. There is a scientific reason behind this. Women mature at a quicker rate than men. That is why their worldview is much more practical and mature at the age of 21 than a 21 year old man's is. Women tend to want a partner who is at an equal mental range as them, so an age gap of 3-5 years is generally recommended to find a man who is on the same mental capacity. Now, not all young men are immature so I guess if a woman is able to find one of those rare mature young men, she would be just as happy.

Also, women have a biological clock when it comes to fertility, no matter how hard feminists today try to deny it. It's science, it's undeniable. Yes, women in their late 30s and early 40s can still have children, but it's more difficult and the pregnancy too is at a higher risk, as in medical terms those women have AMA pregnancies (advanced maternal age).

SO, if an older woman wants to marry a younger man, they need to understand that 1) she may not want to have children if she already has some or simply chooses not to at that age, 2) she may not be able to have children at some point. A younger man needs to accept this if he wants to start a family with an older woman, who is either near the end of the childbearing years or past it. Many younger men go into such relationships not considering such things, but they become disappointed later on.

If all these considerations are talked about before entering a relationship, I suppose it has a chance of success, but IMO the most successful relationships (I feel) are when both partners are at an equal mental capacity and generation, as they have shared experiences and similarities to keep the relationship going.

I don't think this is a consideration solely for a younger man marrying an older woman. This is a consideration for any relationship period.

There are plenty of men and women out there who have absolutely no desire to have biological children of their own. There are men and women who want no children at all, biological or adopted.

So before anyone gets into a long-term relationship of any sort - they need to be on the same page about children.
