That explains why men might sucessfully stay with one woman as she matures.
It doesn't explain why they want younger women, though.
I can't explain it all. They're new? Different? Reminds the guys of HS? Midlife crisis? Youth take risks? Youths are generally firmer and in shape?
Or, youths actually say positive things? Maybe they are impressed by things older women take for granted, or get bored by.
Which reminds me of an interview that was on Oprah, or Dr. Phil. There was a prostitute interviewed that said many times men would buy time with them. It was an odd statement so the interviewer asked what the guy did in the alloted time. She said,
"He told me his dreams, his goals, his fears, his desires, and his fantasies. I listened without laughing or mocking. I told them they were the best and the greatest. That's all they wanted from me." She said she was a prostitute, she does things wives refuse to do, whether it was sex or laughing at the same stupid joke. Guess youthful women, or at least youthful thinking women, take life by the balls too.
I think that's absolutely true. If we are to take what the escort said seriously (and circumstantial evidence supports it), the question then becomes, 'why are more mature women less willing to be emotionally supportive of their men?'
This is made more poignant by the fact that women tend to be (rightfully and legitimately) very interested in getting emotional support from their men.
One reason that many couples fall apart is that one party is either unwilling or unable to bear the burden of some aspects of the romantic relationship (that is, give emotional support), while being very demanding about enjoying (and expecting) the benefits of some aspects or the romantic relationship (that is, getting emotional support).
This has almost nothing to do with a party's sex:it has much more to do with their outlook of life, and their willingness to give.
It's a supreme irony that in my life, many folks I have known who have been most demanding about emotional support have been (almost pathologically) unwilling to give it.
Oh well...
