Men prefer 20 year old women.

Too much of a good thing is never enough
Anyone surprised by this? What does is say about men vs women?
Men, regardless of their age, prefer 20-23 year old women. This preference still applies when a man turns 50, and 60, etc.
In contrast, women, as they age, prefer men who are closer to their age.

Does anyone recall a quote of this nature-- who said it? "When I was 20, I preferred to date 19 year old women. Now that I'm 60, I have realized what good taste I had when I was 20."

Of course, there are lots of exceptions to any general conclusion and who knows whether the posters on OK Cupid (and other dating web sites) are honest about their age? Actually we probably know the answer to that rhetorical question-- we lie, about age and other things.
If she is in to FFM threesomes and leans towards being BI sexual she goes to the top of the list .

I made exactly the same point in a different thread in another context. However my gut instinct is that men's preference for <21 yr-old-girls is baked into our DNA from 5-million years of human evolution. And evolutionary biology has women programmed to prefer tall and physically strong men, regardless if they are 52 or 22. I think the OK-CUpid study has captured something that goes beyond cultural norms and feminism.
The other day I went back to a club that I used to be a PL regular at and a 21 year old sexy hottie approached me and it was clear in our convo that we had huge generation gaps going on and it was like I was talking to my young nieces, a big turn off for me, so we just chatted and I enjoyed her company for a few minutes and she moved on because she knew I wasn't biting. She was cute too with a hot little body. If she were 10 years older or I 10 years younger, I would have at least had one dance with her.
Strictly for eye candy: 20-25
For sex: 25-40
To spend time with: 30-50
Brilliant! In other news, water is wet, fire is hot, dachshunds are cute, and ice cream is ace! ;)
I didn't mean to say anything offensive. I'm simply stating that if you are talking only about sheer animal attraction, men prefer young women and women prefer tall men. I think it's the result of evolution, not cultural norms. OTOH, many men go into strip clubs because they need some kind of emotional attachment -- and the older dancers are way better at that.
I would never consider someone under 40 for an SO or something serious.
4got2wipe: Read the commentary. There is much more nuance than your otherwise "brilliant" synopsis.
I thought that may have gotten fixed w/ the latest update Founder did to the interface - yeah in the past the TUSCL text processor did not process the "less than sign" correctly and would truncate/cutoff everything after it - others have explained the "less than sign" is a special escape character in web-stuff and apparently TUSCL did/does not process it properly.
Even as a young-boy I was more attracted to MILFs (30s - early-40s) - I've always liked curvy/well-endowed/voluptuous women even as a kid and it seems often times "older women" (30+) tend fo fill-out in a way I like (not a fat cow, but bigger fuller breasts, wider/rounder hips; bigger fuller butts - all things I've always preferred and always been much-more attracted to) - I like women that look like women - most early-20s "women" still look like girls to me; not children, but more girlish than womanish and I prefer the womanish look - I can admire a young hard-body but it's a well filled-out "older" woman that really gets my juices flowing and find more irresistible - I also love femininity and def def much more enjoy the way "older" women carry themselves - for me the age I've enjoyed the most is mid-30s - in my particular case BY FAR the best fucks I've had have been w/ women in their mid-30s - they def know what they are doing (w/ exceptions of course) and def IME know better how to please a man *and* more willing to please a man (again w/ exceptions).
I love sexy women who are more than half my age, AND OLDER THAN MY DAUGHTERS! lol.
By the time a girl gets in her mid 20s (so 24-25-26), her breasts usually start dropping (even if so slightly) if not earlier. They'll drop sooner if she's been wearing bras all the time (according to a 2013 French study). Then they'll plateau or very gradually decline for 10 years or so regardless of having children. The hands age quicker than the rest of the body as well, particularly with the veins and knuckles and the skin just get looser. The eyes start to develop bags and crows feet. The pores also seem larger and deeper than when she was the fresh faced girl next door in her early 20s or younger. Makeup becomes much more important; they are much less likely to pull off the natural look. Of course some girls hit the genetic lottery or just take very good care of themselves and look youthful into their 30s or even 40s.
As long as a girl doesn't really let herself go or get her body ravaged by drugs or self-harming, which is a big qualifier, or have kids, which can often drastically change a woman's body, if she's a near 10 at age 20 (which usually indicates great genes), she'll still be close to a ten at age 30. The little changes from aging 10 years isn't going to drop her rating much. But the girls that are 7s and 8s and have less natural gifts to work with, the drop after 10 years is probably bigger and much more noticeable. Or put another way, going from a 10 to a 9, the girl is still going to be very hot. Going from a 7 to a 5, she moves from above average to the lower side of average (5.5 being the median between 1-10). She'll almost certainly get work done and wear more makeup if she's depends on her looks for a living.
As for why 20 year olds don't do as well at strip clubs? Nothing to do with looks. Experience is probably the biggest reason. It takes thousands of repetitions and fine tuning to gain expertise at a skill. Some people might be naturals or gifted, others may be over achievers, but it's hard to get around years of practice and experience. Many of these girls don't give good dances, aren't as comfortable in their skin, haven't developed their social skills or flirtation and role playing as much and aren't as desperate or serious as the older dancers. They don't know how to close deals, or properly offer extras (if they even offer them). They probably don't handle rejection as well (even the youngest hottest strippers get rejected) and less likely to hustle or move on to any and every customer or they might even just wait for the customer. They're also easier to take advantage of in terms of remuneration.
They might be in school still (if they're under 23, that is quite likely as most of the young girls haven't completely dropped out or given up on school yet) and for some of the girls, this might be their first real job or first well paying job, so they might consider a few hundred a night a huge amount of money compared to no money or depending on their parents or the minimum or near minimum wage job they're qualified for and be quite satisfied with that. They likely don't have mortgages to pay, children to feed and support. Their biggest bill might be their car payment or tuition/student loans.
So if looks were all that mattered, then yes, early 20s is where it's at. Of course IRL and even the strip clubs, looks aren't everything.
