gsmonks: Historically, people either were married off the instant they hit puberty (marriage records from the 1700's show girls getting married as young as 12, boys as young as 14), or else marriages were arranged for some financial and social advantage, with zero thought given to anything but practicality.
Some people still hold to this sense of values where marriage is concerned.
There's also the fact that older men are generally much better educated and much more emotionally stable than young guys, and are far less prone to doing unbelievably stupid things. I'm not talking RICH older guys here. Think pratts like Donald Trump.
Yeah this is all nice - - - and you do have a certain point, but one doesn't have to be Donald Trump, toe be a sugar daddy Second - - - - we are in 21st century not in 16th - - - Third: - - - this kind of stuff happen still All I am saying I want to hear from the girls them selves, individually - - - so I asked her why - - - in most cases it was the fact that they had some father issues or money - - - I met, talked to girls, that simply prefers to be fathered, to help them decide even on most trivial things, not to mention how emotionally unstable they were and not self reliant or self sufficient - - - - It comes down to older guy / stability / fathering / money - - - -

A long time ago I was married for four months. My wife was a model and a fashion merchandiser. She was Dutch South African, Catholic, had been to the finest finishing schools, came from a wealthy family, and so on.
Now, I am a Canadian man, and she expected me to hire servants, and to run pretty much every detail of both our lives. This, AFTER we were married, but that's another story.
She had exactly zero interest in being anyone except what she had been brought up to be- a bauble on a man's arm; a decorative accessory, if you will.
So it's not just as simple a thing as the difference in age. There's generally a lot more to it than that.

Yeah I know that - - - - - women that need fathering, it exhausts one's emotions completely. There are not just guys that need mothering, also some women are same immature, little children even when they are over 30 - - -

bia33: umm where my soul mate
Good question. I ask it for myself, too. Maybe we should depict him. As for me it is someone who shares the same views on this world with me. Not very easy to find him, though. If the word "love" could be enough, or just to start with, maybe it could be the first step on the way...
