why is it that people look at an older woman marrying a younger man as bad but men can marry younger?

My theory.....mine alone.  Age makes no difference.  Personalities, kharma, sex, love.......that knows no age.  We seek/find the ones whom we are MEANT to be with.  \n\nI mean honestly.....so many woman have issues they shouldn't be fighing....that don't need fighting......age, color, education....etc.  \n\nLove darling....love.....that is what we were meant to do.

my babe is also older... but yes.. there was a reason... maybe not anymore..\n\nthe reason used to be stability... an older man usually meant more money, a house, furniture, a car... food for the baby... it's survival of the fitest... women have basically lacked a lot of basic rights since begining of time... we, here in our country "US"... only started allowing women to vote... there are still places where women cant drive or work... so, all a woman is left to do is marry and have babies... and lots of babies... so, to have lots of babies... a woman must start young... The sad part is... most men her age are just not equipped financially to care for her babies.... so, women are forced to marry older men socially...\n\nanyway... even with all our freedoms here... it still looked down upon when a woman dates a younger guy....sure...it's ok for a rich or famous woman to do so.. it's cool.... but you're average woman dating a younger guy.... ohhhhh... the things people say... a lot of it comes from women...how sad is that...\n\npeople are nasty...

I always had my heart set on meeting Mr. Right and being married by age 25, that didn't happen.  I am now 28 and I am desperately hoping to find someone and be married by age 30.  I think that this is a common way of thinking because no woman wants to be an old maid.  I also think that women tend to be more obsessed with the thought of growing old and becoming less attractive.

when you are Young it is all love and the man can do almost no wrong. many years later it is all about security. we are still primal cause all the other stuff in between is just feel good stuff. women want to taken care of and loved they can't divide the 2. they see security as being loved and men want a sense of control and to be adored. similar to what a woman wants but derived in 2 different ways. some where between here and there is the compromise. quite frankly there is never really a compromise just different ways we view the marriage.

Women are attracted to your bad boy style till after marriage.  Then they want you to quit being immature.

Really not enough info.  As stated by another, where are you looking?  Some people are attracted to 'bad boys' and reject the good ones.  There is also a term called learned helplessness.  It may not apply to you, as I said, lack of info, but people who have that problem are attracted to people who will abuse them, treat them like dirt, etc.   You may need couseling if that is true.  Often, it is rooted in abuse from a parent.  Sometimes, you look for your father in someone and, if your father was cruel, etc., you still end up being drawn to them.  Guys marry their mothers, women marry their fathers.  (figuratively speaking)

There is No 'Right' Age!\nWe All mature at Different Rates!\nOur Ability to Judge Our own Judgment increases with age!\nHence why Younger Folk who leap into marriage do tend to mess up!\nHope this helps You!

Actually, it has been psychologically proven that marriages fail most often when the women has a higher level of education and/or makes more money than the man does.  It's not just celebrities, although I have noticed it with them as well.

Because they want to try to picture themselves with the man that proposed in about 20 yrs. because they want to make sure they dont marry the wrong man. Not to mention that marriage is a big commitment and you cant get out of it as easy as dumping someone.

I'm a muslim girl and i still wants to answer your Q...the real reason is.. a women beauty can easily turn men to imagine wildly..the eyes of a women is so powerful that can make mens weak and from that weakness can turn to so many things and could lead to sin. And for that a good man will not do that unless to his legal wife..b/c when you're married ,you can do just about anything you can think of.. you got what i mean.. the eyes is an asset to a women and must be 'well taken' of..

The minimum age is when she gets her period, but because of how much longer people are living, her father is supposed to giver her the highest education possible and her family is supposed to teach her life as an adult as she grows, not marry her off as soon as possible.  My husband is from Pakistan, and most women don't get married there until they are in their 20's.  I know of only two that got married younger, and it was their choice.

no more different when a man marries a younger woman.\nwhats important is that the two are happy. sure with the age difference there will be some probs or diferenc,but if love is a factor then they can go through the rest

Now they have 1 child and a happy life.\nMe, myself no problem with that or seeing man love older women.

These people are so mean. It doesn't matter how old you are or she is. My brother married a woman 20 years older than him and they are so happy together. Just tell her how you feel and ask the question. Good luck

Because some men were taught that by their parents it comes from being spoiled to much I think the wrong way when they are younger I believe no one explain to the young boy about how to properly treat a woman and they watch too much TV probably only watch movies and shows that make a woman seem beneath a man...it could just be their cultural beliefs though... and get the idea that they should treat a woman however they seem fit I say it is society it has become our world's greatest weakness with everything!!!!but it also could be because woman allow men to treat them that way thus making it more difficult for stronger women to build a relationship with those men ...oh well life goes on...

Probably true, because people don't take the time to get to know each other before either getting married or hopping into the sack.  Most importantly however, is that they are not committed to each other and to the marriage.  A little bit of trouble comes & they say, "hey, it's not worth it, I'm moving on" instead of working out the problems.

some of them do think like that...i guess married men got more experience on how to handle women emotion.they are more caring too...
