It goes both ways, it just looks differently. If a woman wants a man who can provide for her family, she’s labeled a gold digger. Back in the survival days, that was just natural selection and we were supposedly biologically wired to think that way.
The problem is that having “younger women” be your type typically implies that you’re going after someone who is not yet mature enough to accept and appreciate you for you. Also aging is appreciated in men 10x more than women. Men are called “daddys” or “silver foxes” when they get older and women…hags. There are always gonna be pros and cons to each gender.
