Most couples are within 2 years of each other - older male age theory is disproven

Here is what the facts show:

The average age difference (for a heterosexual couple) is 2.3 years, with the man older than the woman. In 64 percent of heterosexual couples, the man is older. In 23 percent, the woman is older, and in the remaining 13 percent, the partners are less than 12 months apart in age.

The idea of gaining immense "value" when you're older and being the catch for people a decade younger than you is for the most part, a myth. Actual data disproves it.

14 years older than my girl. The relative interaction rate across age gaps skews this proportion. All data should be divided by an estimated interaction frequency for that age gap to better understand the relationship success of that gap without that number being confounded by how often people of that age gap meet in social settings.

Yeah most men don’t invest in themselves and aren’t successful in life. 99% of men let themselves go as they get older and never achieve anything. I can literally have almost any woman I want because of my job (anesthesia). I’m not even kidding. The fine wine **** only applies to men who stay fit and are successful, otherwise we all know aging destroys looks and no girl wants a man twice her age unless he can support her and give her an amazing life.

Most of my anesthesia brahs wouldn't fully agree, maybe a little bit. But if you look good to begin with, you'd be doing well regardless.

Disregarding 99% of the male population also isn't the most ideal thing either. To be to <1%, you need top tier genetics.

That’s expected though

Majority of couplers are of similar age...this can be proven by scientific studies.

Miscers that are 47 yo with 18 yo teen Virgin girlfriends that cook and clean while being business owners that make $500,000 each year and have no social media are extremely rare like 1% of western female population.

Even then they are with other miscers obviously Since all miscers are 9/10 +++ hence why they spend all day on a forum that no one cares about irl

The age difference has narrowed in the past 70 years due to feminist conditioning. And of course, at the same time, divorce rates have also steadily gone up,

Most men never realize their true potential. Instead of acquiring money and disregarding sloots, they get married in their 20s, and turn into fat lazy fuks by their mid 30s.
Most 35 year old men are probably over 40% BF, does that somehow "prove" that being fat is the ideal body? fuk no. It just proves that most men are not living up to their potentials.

I have the exact same physique that I had at 21, except now I have a full-time job, apartment, money saved for w/e I want and to have fun with, and my face looks the age of most 23 year olds. I am immensely more attractive to women now than at 21. Settling down with my gf at that time would have been a huge mistake. She's 30 and old now. I'm currently smashing a hot 20 year old.



This. If they stay married, it's probably because the husband is sleeping with younger woman on the side. OP should check the average age difference when a man gets married for the 2nd time. I think if you ask any divorced 40 year old man, they'll tell you they wish they would have waited and then married a younger woman in the first place.
Then there are women like me and SS who are late 40s but sleep with prime 23 year old Chads.

Most men our age look terrible. Why would we want within 2 years of THAT?

Even in Eastern Europe, despite looking younger than my age, if I put my real age on Tinder or Bumble I would get ZERO matches. And people claim Eastern Europe is somehow old school but guys who lived there (for real) claim it's already been westernized.


Really the only place in the world where women ignore age gap has been the Philippines for me. I've yet to find another country. If there is another country it's probably likewise in South East Asia.

of course, forget about misc copecels

this forum is full of delusion



females go through puberty earlier and get the desire to **** 2-3 years earlier, that is why girls in school date a bit above, max someone out of HS close to the creeper status


a 20yo female would be ok with anything under 25, anything above 30 is an outlier - either a top genetic male or money is involved

there is empirical proof to prove this apart from the OP, and it is simply based on how other mammals do it and what they desire in terms of lust


if a 40yo is feeling like creampie-ing a 20yo if the wife is boring, just get a nice hooker for 200 USD for the night and call it a day

The problem with your statement is that conservatism has nothing to do with biological desires which are shared among women and men of any geographical point, even adjusted for socio-cultural norms. Yes, women in Islam this, but women in Islam get their vagey mutilated to not feel pleasure.


Since this is not science and not quantifiable as bananas and tomatoes, as I am a native and have lived here and there I can tell you that on a makeshift scale of conservatism to westernism where Islamic countries = 1 and USA/wider Anglosphere/wider Western Europe = 10:

Eastern Europe can be anywhere between 6-8 (depending on which), overlapping with South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and a bit more conservative ones such as China, Vietnam etc.


Although even during communist times it has always been 1-5 years older males simply because of biological factors. Back then a 50yo ****ing a 20yo was still a matter of a pleasure-worker.


"Even in Eastern Europe" means jack**** unless a girl sees you as a meal ticket.

my gf is just shy of 4 years younger than i am.

im assuming this only applies to north america though.. i dont have stats, but im sure that in europe the gap is much higher with girls dating older guys. It isnt uncommon to see 27-30 year old dudes dating 19-21 year old sloots over there.



that might be due to younger girls being more mature over in europe, and/or due to guys in europe not turning into dad bods and dressing like **** after 25.

the job has nothing to do with getting there, you can get any girl if you are willing to pay them, as with any job with a good income + how much willing you are to spend

it is about how well you look for a prime 18yo hbb to consider you naturally, because there are builders who do that

and statistically anything over 5-7 years is rare



if you look 25 but are 40 and you make 200 000 USD per year, of course then that is fine wine material, but most statistically get disqualified on the first one hard as it is a bit of a biological outlier otherwise (regardless of how you take care of yourself)

My ex-wife was born within a month of me. She was the prettiest girl at the bar one night when I was 25, so I hit on her and followed up when I got her number. She was a career woman and made a good living. I was just looking for a normal life.

Chit didn't work out, but I guess I contributed towards that statistic at some point.

I'm 46 now dating a 33 year old.

honestly agree.

it's cope if u think u'll be 40+ blowing the back out of chicks that are 21 and 10/10 hot. only 1% of old guys are doing that.

If you can't fuk now with zero assets and being poor, it won't be easier if you are old and rich.
same trade off.

you have to be able to fuk while u don't have anything goin 4 u

For me 20's/ early 30's is for slooting around & having fun in life.
When I approach 40 I'll look for a quality woman to spend my life with; preferably 10 years younger.

Have to say though; I've let a few quality girls slip through my hands because of this mindset but I hope in the end; it will be the more rational choice.
