    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.

      You just made a lot of assumptions not supported by the science.

      All this shows is physical attraction. When shown pictures of random women to then rate the physical attractiveness of.

      That’s it. Nothing about who these men actually wanted to date. Someone can be very physically attractive to you and you can simultaneously not want to date them.

        Yep, talk to a 10/10, then opens her mouth saying she wants to vote for Trump and completely flaccid. I suspect the reverse also happens.
