The Old men gets luckier - Navtej Kohli
If you’re above forty and looking for an ideal life parter, chances are your bride may be significantly younger to you.
Well, it not my personal opinion but the findings of the new US research. Navtej Kohli Interest blog features the entire report:
A new research suggests the older a man, the greater the likelihood that his bride will be significantly younger - whether that man is wealthy and educated or not.
“If you look at guys who do marry, the poor guys marry down in age just as much as the rich guys do,” quoted Paula England, a Stanford University sociologist and co-author of the study.
“That was kind of surprising to us,” she added.
Men in their 40s tend to marry women who average seven years younger, and men in their 50s are marrying brides who average 11 years younger, according to England’s research. Interestingly, men in the 60s tend to marry women who are 13 years younger.
However, in first marriages, men are typically a couple years older than women, but the older men are when they marry, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a first or a second marriage, the more years they marry down, the research highlighted.
England and research partner Elizabeth McClintock of Stanford said that the male ideal of beauty is found in women in their early 20s, and that ideal remains fixed for men no matter that they themselves are growing older.
“Women may be a little more indifferent to age than men are because they are not judging people as much on looks,” she added.
