This isn’t a dig or anything. I’m a teen F from the UK and I’ve always been curious why olde guys love younger women but older women tend to love guys their age. DMs are open if you don’t feel comfortable chatting in comments

The trope (with some truth) is that men tend to be more attracted to physical appearance while women are attracted to stability (aka power and wealth). That means men tend to be attracted to those younger than themselves and women tend to be attracted to those older. And hey, generally that lines up so everyone’s happy, right?
Old guys liking teenage girls is more the rare exception that has become the stereotype. Creepy old guys who want to prey on emotionally immature but physically adult young women because they are easy to manipulate.
+1 on this answer. The answer depends completely on what’s “attractive” to men vs to women.
Even in physical terms, for whatever reason, men tend to reach peak attractiveness at a higher age. I remember reading a study I read a while back where people were shown tonnes of faces of different ages to rate in terms of attractiveness. The conclusion was that male peak attractiveness was about 31-32, but for women it was something like 23.
