ngl men dating people their age would be a nice change

cause the situation now is really hammering home that if men could go lower, they would. 20 was the minimum age in that study.
Picture of a graph titled "Ages of Partners Men & Women Find Most Attractive". The data for women shows they tend to find people their age (or a bit younger) most attractive, while the data for men shows that no matter their age, they all tend to find partners around 20 most attractive.

I dated a girl much younger than me and it was ass. Literally couldn't talk about anything interesting (to me). Dated a way older girl and it was so chill, also best sex I've had. Though if I were to choose (let's be honest, I don't get much choice) I would pick 1 or 2 years younger than me at most

I've had sex with women half my age, or less, but for a partner I've always loved women my own age, give or take a few years.

Of course it's all on a sliding scale. 50 dating 40, meh, close enough. 18 dating 12, aw hell no.

And then you have Filipinas. Lord. Went to my wife's friend's birthday party last summer. She was turning 30. He was about to turn 70. :) We're the only white/Asian couple of the same age, and my wife is really insecure about it.
