General Forum > Why Men Marry Younger Women
In Ancient Rome, women were married at 13 to 30 year old men.

i agree, jare, its only a stupid insecure man that marries a woman young enough to be his daughter

It cannot be an excuse for dirty men to cradle snatch. I'm not a dirty man and I want to marry a lady in her mid 20s when I'm in my mid 30s. What's wrong with that? I have the right to choice, don't I? 10 years age difference doesn't make such a woman young enough to be my daughter...and anyway marriage is a mutual agreement. Maybe the lady wants an older man.

I am not against men marrying younger women. Marriage and love is a thing of the mind. Some men may like to marry women far younger than them, others go for their age mate or some even marry women older than them. I believe like I say earlier it is a thing of the mind. Though some men like taking advantage of younger ladies because of their innocence. On a final note, whatever someone do; he/she has a reason for doing that wether good or bad

Old men marrying young women - Well, my own take on this is that as long as love exists between the both parties involved, every other external opinion is inconsequential. Young ladies marry old men for several reasons. One of which is their security. Some of the young ladies we have around now believe that a guy who is still struggling cannot take care of them to their satisfaction, hence they prefer to marry matured men.

i think following formula works for the ages of husband and wife
wife age should be >= (age of husband / 2 )+6
if the age difference is more then wife us some where else and husband is some where else

I tell you what - the west have wrecked our culture and today, we're worse off. What you see today is an aberration of marriage that last a few yrs and every man to his tent. The ideal age difference between couples should 10 - 20 years. This way, she ages with him. Women are so perishable you can believe it. That's why lot's of men whose wives are their age mate run the streets. Take us back to the good old days.

Men who like younger women are the ones likely to cheat on the younger women once they hit the "old" age bracket. Why? It's in his nature, he wants to experience the exact same feeling he received when he plucked the very young woman he married. Young ladies, be ready for botox because he will make you feel so insecure once you get "older" that you will have the world's lowest self esteem once your first gray hair arrives. Men who like younger women are shallow. Beauty before brains. Beauty does not last. Therefore, once your beauty and innocence fade, he will replace you. Or, he will cheat on you with someone young and innocent because it's what he likes.

whatever Dee, you are talking mess! That doesnt make any sense. If a man will cheat its a reflection of his character or lack there of...and has nothing to do with the woman or her age!

I read in the newspaper sometime ago that it has been proven that men that marry women 15 years their junior have more grand children.
Men are at the height of their prowess in their mid to late 30s, while women are most fertile between the ages of 18 -25.
So the next time you see a young suzy with an elderly gentleman old enough to be her dad...they are just practicing what comes naturally, and what is good for the continuance of the race.
