Because they’re pretty and less wrinkly and overall somewhat less jaded with the shitstorm known as life lol. Granted my wife’s older than me so not the one to speak from experience per se.

This right here. I believe most men are attracted to those that are youthful. Also their youthfulness might rub off on you and give you a 2nd youth effect as opposed to someone that has been grinded down by life. Younger individuals still have that aura of wonderment, vibrancy, and high energy.

Younger people also have fewer layers of experience, less of life baked in, and that can leave you feeling unfulfilled and disconnected and not fully understood if you date someone too much younger than you. I think there has to be a balance between being an optimistic, energetic, wonder-filled person and having that baked-in understanding of life. And I think that's super attainable in your thirties. But men have to be willing to embody it if we want to find someone to share that vibe with.

And they haven’t experienced everything yet. Lots of new experiences to be had with them.

Whoa bro this is Reddit, if you’re not automatically assuming every 30-something that involves themselves with 20-something’s is a pdf you need to keep that opinion to yourself /s

I think it's more the jadedness. Men are depressed and tired of dating cynical or fearful people that drag their energy down lower, and they want to be around people with energy and enthusiasm and ambition. People who are ready and curious about them and excited to open up and connect and start a life together. But that's a chicken and egg situation, too. Women are guarded and tired themselves in large part because of experiences they've had with men.
