What Is It With Men and Younger Women? Pt. 3

For Part 1 of this post go here, and for Part 2 go here. I swear this will be the last one. Um… I think.

What does it mean to be a good father? A lot of people, when pondering a question like this, will go straight to the extreme: I’d throw myself in front of a train for my children! I’d throw myself on a grenade! I’d lay down my life in any way required, if it would spare them! These are laudable sentiments, but if you think a bit further about it a further question comes up: OK there superman, you’d throw yourself in front of a train for your children, but would you give up a night at the bar to stay home and hang out with them? You’d throw yourself on a grenade for them, but would you leave the office early to go to a recital? (What would I do without cliches? This blog would be bereft of content, and have only pornographic photos to entertain my readers – in other words, I’d be on Tumblr.)

I’ve had younger girlfriends too. For the most significant relationship the ratio was something like 37:23. (Yes, 23.)

This isn’t so much a series of “blog posts” as it is “Thinking Inside Your Box workin through some stuff.” Blogs are cheaper than psychiatrists. Hell, they’re even cheaper than booze!

OKCupid made the news a while ago when they wrote on their blog about what they’ve seen in their statistics about age. To get right to the salient points:

• Women tend to be attracted to (or message) men whose age is commensurate with their own. As women get older the age ranges of guys they’ll communicate with moves along with their own age. To be clear, ladies may prefer older guys, but what they consider “older” changes as they age. A 20 year old girl might date a 26 year old dude but not a 30 year old; a 30 year old woman might date a 36 year old man but not a 40 year old man.
• Men like women in their early 20’s.
