CompanyIt’s new: women crack for younger men
Women too prefer to go out with younger than them, even if they claim the opposite.
Men have a preference for younger women and women prefer ripe men. But is it true? According to global statistics on marriage, men in heterosexual marriages have an average of 4.2 years more than their partners. A thesis that a recent study contradicts that demonstrates that men and women prefer to go out with younger people.
4,500 blindly analyzed
The study, published at the beginning of the year in the specialized journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences»based on a set of specific data, namely 4,500 meetings blind. The team of researchers has collaborated with the personalized Tawkify connecting service. It had access to data from 6262 users.

In the three categories of the study (pleasure, attraction and interest in a second return) a younger person scores more points. “Even before the meeting takes place, men declare that they are attracted by younger women,” said the study author, Paul W. Eastwick, professor of psychology at the University of California. And this evaluation agrees with the observations of the study. As Paul W. Eastwick confirms, “they are slightly more inclined to have a second meeting with younger women”.
Men and women tend to be attracted to younger partners, like Nicole Kidman, who cracks for her intern in the film “Babygirl”.
IMDbBefore an appointment, women, on the other hand, say they are attracted to more mature men, when in reality, they crack more for younger men. “It is very surprising, since, in almost all studies, women declare that they want an older partner,” said Paul W. Eatswick. However, he tends to trust recent data, especially since other study made the same observation.
The power of attraction, underestimated by women
So why do women initially claim to be attracted to more mature men? According to Paul W. Eatswick, women underestimate the attraction of younger men. “This attraction is only revealed when there is a physical encounter,” says the author of the study.

The study is also limited to the first meetings. “It remains to be seen whether the attraction of young people persists in the third meeting,” he concludes.
