60 year old dating younger women divorced women for dating

Antfolk agreed, noting that Finland has a high level of “gender equality,” which might have swayed the findings.As for bisexual and homosexual study participants, similar patterns showed up.The stereotype that older men are usually attracted to much younger women may not fully reflect reality, a new study suggests.The study of Finnish adults found that many heterosexual men were, in fact, interested in women substantially younger than they were.They typically had sex with women who were close to their own age.

According to Lehmiller, that finding is in line with past research showing larger age differences in same-sex couples versus heterosexual couples.And on average, they had a more generous definition of “too young” than women did.But on the other hand, men were also attracted to women their own age.Typically, men were more willing to consider much younger partners than women were.But those interests translated into behavior more often for homosexual men.

And as they aged, their preferences for a sexual partner matured, too.
