Why Older Women Dating Younger Men Are More Satisfied

Posted March 23, Reviewed by Lybi Ma. Relationships in which an older woman has a significantly younger male partner have attracted much media attention over the years. For example, remember what big news it was when Demi Moore married Ashton Kutcher, who happened to be 15 years younger than her? Or perhaps you recall the international media obsession surrounding the relationship between French president Emmanuel Macron and his spouse Brigitte, who happens to be 24 years his senior? Or, more recently, maybe you've heard the chatter about the television series MILF Manor , the entire premise of which is a group of and something women taking part in a reality dating show with younger male contestants? Although to be fair, a lot of the attention MILF Manor has attracted hasn't been about age gaps per se, but about the shocking twist that the women were going to be dating each others' sons. Freud would have had a field day analyzing this show. So there's a bit of a double standard when it comes to age-gap relationships based on the gender of the older partner, and this bias is reflected in scientific surveys. Research finds that people are more disapproving of male-female age-gap couples when the older partner is a woman than they are when the older partner is a man. In these woman-older relationships, the disapproval seems to be reserved primarily for the female partner.
