Scientist discover water is wet (Men attracted to women in their prime)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/articl...d-get.html
Quote:'A woman is over the hill as soon as she’s old enough to drink': Research shows that men are most attracted to women in their early 20s - no matter how old they get
OKCupid co-founder Christian Rudder used the data from his dating site to determine the ages men and women find the opposite sex most attractive
According to his findings, men prefer women between the ages of 20 and 24, regardless of their own age
Meanwhile, women want a 'guy to be roughly as old as she is'
Whether they are senior citizens, middle-aged fathers or barely able to drink legally, all men are inherently attracted to young women who are in their early 20s.
In his book Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity - What Our Online Lives Tell Us About Our Offline Selves, author and OKCupid co-founder Christian Rudder used the data preferences found on his dating site to determine that men find women between the ages of 20 and 24 most attractive - no matter how old they get.
After [a man] hits thirty, the latter half of [OKCupid's] age range (that is, women over 35) might as well not exist,' Christian explained in an excerpt of his book, which was shared on Jezebel.
'Younger is better, and youngest is best of all, and if “over the hill” means the beginning of a person’s decline, a straight woman is over the hill as soon as she’s old enough to drink,' he noted.
A majority of the groups of men between the ages of 20 and 50 prefer women to be 20, while 21 was the next highest reported age.
And only one age group, 45, chose 24, the highest age reported, as the one that looks best to them.
Meanwhile, Christian found that women want a 'guy to be roughly as old as she is'.
Younger is better, and youngest is best of all
'This isn’t survey data, this is data built from tens of millions of preferences expressed in the act of finding a date,' he said.
According to his research, women like men to be slightly older than them until they hit their 30s. Then they become interested in men who are their own age or slightly younger. By their 40s, women are most attracted to men who are two to eight years younger than they are.
'If we want to pick the point where a man’s sexual appeal has reached its limit, it’s there: 40,' Christian noted.
But an eight year age difference is nothing compared to the 28-year age gap between 50-year-old men who think 22-year-old women are ideal.
'Another way to put this focus on youth is that males’ expectations never grow up,' Christian wrote. 'A 50-year-old man’s idea of what’s hot is roughly the same as a college kid’s.'
However, there is no need to despair. Men may be most attracted to women in their early 20s, but many males end up with women who are in their age range or even older.
And of course, there are female 'cougars' who are known for courting much-younger guys.
So there you have it. Overpaid scientists conduct a study to show that men are attracted to women in their prime. Who would have thought just a shocking conclusion could be 'discovered'. I like how the refer to post wall as 'over the hill'. The comments section of the article, as expected, is filled with hamster delights. One top rated comment even claims that a woman is in her prime in her 40s.

Since women were born into the world at age 36, this is a very sad thing. Poor ladies, who never had a quarter century of fertility and automatic attention and power to manipulate men with! Life is unfair.

IT is not fair on men either as men in the 20-24 age range are most likely to want to marry their peers whom they've grown up with only to find that women are using this period when their value is highest to ride the carousel.
