Most of the males between 27-32yo I know would definetely do an 18yo girl given the chance, but none of them are actively looking for one because it is weird.
I guess it is more like a fantasy kind of deal. If I had to guess the reason is that young women are more sexually active than 30yo women. Friends with gfs always complain that it’s pretty hard to get them in the mood, like they have to beg. Men are just more sexual than women in general.
Just had a friend break up with his gf because she would use sex as a manipulation tool.
Young women are not more sexually active. There’s a ton of research that younger people are less and less sexual. So maybe stop making things up and posting them online.
“If I had to guess”. I was guessing, followed by personal experiences… I never said “here’s the absolute truth”.
You know it is possible to correct someone without being a total ass? Plus, I wasn’t talking about facts but instead about what males think. If you asked 1000 males who they think is more sexually active between a 20yo or a 40yo, what do you think the results would be.
I mean technically since you have not provided any of this research you are also just making things up and posting them online. Regardless of whether or not you’re correct giving no source, and if asked saying “do your own research” (which you haven’t done I’m just doing an inb4) just makes you sound like one of those crazy conspiracy theorists or something
Older faces are rated as less attractive than younger faces and treated like a category when making aesthetic judgments.
Older perceivers are less influenced by the age of the viewed face than younger and middle-aged perceivers.
Men, more than women, distinguish more clearly between faces when judging attractiveness, especially in female faces.
Aging has less of an effect on judgments of elegance than beauty and gorgeousness.
Like YA, OA showed both the attractiveness halo effect and the babyface stereotype. However, OA showed weaker effects of attractiveness on impressions of untrustworthiness, and only OA associated higher babyfaceness with greater competence. There also was own-age accentuation, with both OA and YA showing stronger face stereotypes for faces closer to their own age. Age differences in the strength of the stereotypes reflected an OA positivity effect shown in more influence of positive facial qualities on impressions or less influence of negative ones, rather than vice versa.

Less sexually active and less sexual are very different statements to me. I was addressing the second portion.
Not only that but a large portion of this entire threads argument is based on how people find each other attractive. Being promiscuous isn’t really relevant when the topic is about people in relationships with large age differences.
I suppose you could argue sexual promiscuity heightens your chance of getting into relationships with larger age differences, but I don’t have data to back that up. I doubt it’d be true if that’s what they’re contending but I wouldn’t care either way lol.
Less sexual still doesn’t mean less attractive though… ? I have no idea what you’re on about. Just rewind to the comment that person was replying to and the context is very clear:

Young women are not more sexually active. There’s a ton of research that younger people are less and less sexual [with each other as of late]
added that last bit because it was clearly referring to the studies coming out in the last few years or so that show that young people are having less sex today than previous generations did at similar ages.
Again, less sex has nothing to do with age differences. It sounds like everyone is just arguing about different things tangentially related to the meme lol.
Apparently y’all think people having less/more sex matters with age differences. I’m arguing 18 year olds are absolutely sexual regardless of how much more or less they’re having sex. And 18-25 are the peak years of attractiveness for nearly everyone.
They’re also the best time to have children even if our society makes it nearly impossible to have them between 18-25. That’s a sliding scale basically gets worse every year 25, not even 35 too.
Good luck telling people at 26 they’re already putting themselves and their children at risk though lol. After 35 has always been a stretch but our government refuses to help while the working class is so under the boot they can barely unionize.
you’re just shadowboxing at this point and honestly it’s really weird that you’re so hyper focused on trying to make people debate you on points they didn’t even bring up, so you can make the case that all women need to give birth before the age of 25.
Idk if you’re not a native speaker or something but nobody uses the term ‘sexual’ in the way that you are using it right now and this reply thread is a total non-sequitur from the thread it stemmed from. I’m not debating you, I’m just letting you know.
Homie we’re on what essentially amounts to a communist socialist forum, not a Debate Team. It’s how conversation works lol. That shit doesn’t change whether it be Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, or anywhere else. The thread literally went from meme, arguing that’s not what they meant, arguing that’s not what they meant, arguing that’s not they meant, to then saying no this is what I’m talking about, why are you talking about this?
It’s all being talked about lol. It’s all mildly relevant. The points and truth behind them didn’t change. It’s all corrections here and there with misunderstandings everywhere. Turns out people aren’t all seeing all knowing. Lemmy leans heavily ND to boot so it just exacerbates all of that.
A lot of of younger women/girls are, in fact, much more sexually active. Especially these days because hormonal birth control is known to permanently lower libido. Also, hormones.
This is just false. Women, on average, are most sexually active in their 30s. We have known this for ever… And somehow this garbage thought that young women are more sexual keeps showing up in male focused narratives.

It’s a fairly well known stat for awhile now: Teens are having less sex.
https://www.livenowfox.com/news/teens-are-having-less-sexual-intercourse-but-are-they-really-having-less-sex
But that says nothing about the male/female split, or the age split. This is just comparing teenagers of today with teenagers of yesterday.
Some confidently incorrect shit here lol.

lol. Try reading the comment you replied to. They didn’t say anything about attraction.
