Older men are usually established and "familiar" because they are a little like our parents/father in their likes/dislikes, etc. and we don't have to wonder about ourselves and our own personal interests or how we're going to make it in the world, etc. but just "skip" that part and hook up with this older guy. However, think about it from the other end? What is so "interesting" about you that an older man would like? Usually only your "youth"/sexuality and/or that you need "protection"/taking care of, all traits that encouraging in one's self will cause problems later.

Agreed that these are all valid reasons that younger women could be interesting but speaking for myself, and I don't exclude any older women but typically for me, most women my age are married for one. I don't do affairs. I'm not saying they aren't available but there really are less availalbe. I tend to get along with younger people too better. I game a lot and am very into a lot of social media, streaming, and all of that. Much of the crowd that would be of my peers sometimes do not jive with my interests at all. Some don't even understand teh concept of being a gamer really other than their kids are into 'that weird world of gaming' it goes further than gaming but frankly for myself it's a matter of relating to people.
This is not to minimize that a youthful female is not appealing for that reason too but that it's not the entirety of my interest. Besides in my case most women my age don't look at me as a peer anyway because I look far younger than I am.
Just saying yeah there are men that may just look at a younger lady as a cute 'catch" but it's not always the case.
