A recent controversial dating advice sparked an online debate about why men still choose younger women, even though older women can arguably look just as youthful now.
Although beauty is subjective, it has long been linked to youth in women, with men often perceiving younger women as more attractive and desirable.
But in today's world of advanced technology and plastic surgeries, some argue that women can maintain a youthful appearance indefinitely, making age a non-factor.
As a result, men are no longer attracted to younger women primarily for their beauty but for other reasons beyond just their physical appearance.
In the short 27-second video, TikTok user @kokobeaute shares her thoughts on why she believes men are attracted to younger women.
“The real reason why men date younger women is not because of their physical appearance, their bodies,” she argues.
The OP believes that with all the plastic surgeries in today’s world, it's hard to tell the difference between a 40-year-old and an 18-year-old woman.
Therefore, age should no longer matter in relationships. And, the real reason why men still go for younger women, is that they're "easily manipulated."
She goes on to explain that young women are inexperienced and may tolerate men who treat them poorly, claiming that men don't have to try hard to impress them because they haven't seen much of the world yet.

“They're going to be very happy with a few crumbs because maybe they didn't experience much in the world. They're going to be just easily impressed,” she says.
Additionally, the woman contends that it's "way cheaper" to date younger girls who are more easily impressed, saving men the financial burden that comes with dating.
To sum up, the OP's argument boils down to the idea that younger women are more likely to put up with men's "bullsh..t" excuses and can be easily dazzled by small things, making them more desirable and attractive to manipulative men.

The comment section showed conflicting views regarding why men tend to pursue younger women.
Not all viewers were convinced by the woman's argument, with some suggesting that her perspective might be influenced by personal issues or insecurities related to aging.
“She is coping so hard,” one user wrote.
“That’s how you tell you are getting older, difficult to accept,” a second agreed.
“Your ex got a younger one?” a third asked.
Other commenters offered alternative explanations for why men might be more drawn to younger women.
“We date younger women because they are more attractive than older ones as they been through less d-ck,” one person argued.
“It's because of their beauty ...natural young beauty,” a second shared.
“Maybe the younger women don’t mind crumbs because they date a few guys,” a third suggested.
A fourth argued that men might be attracted to younger women because they tend to have a more positive outlook and are less likely to be "bitter" or "resentful."
One commenter put an end to the discussion by declaring, "I prefer older women."
