There is a saying that goes well: no matter how old a man is, he likes an eighteen-year-old girl. Youth is the capital of women. The older the man, the more he likes the younger woman, and the conditions are average. This is a common phenomenon in society, because young and well-conditioned girls may not be willing to let old cows eat, and old men are not willing to spend any more energy to coax women, they are more looking for a lover who knows the warmth and warmth. So, what is the psychology behind some men's "old cow eating young grass"? What exactly causes older men to like younger women?

1. Reason 1: Younger means higher reproductive value

It's not surprising that some older men like younger women, even if the woman is otherwise average. But youth is still her most important capital. In the eyes of these men, young women have higher value of marriage and love and reproduction than women of other ages. The reason is that younger women have greater reproductive capacity and better survival of offspring. Therefore, older men are more pragmatic, they have self-knowledge, and such men even feel that the quality of their children will be relatively higher if they combine with young women.

2. Reason 2: liking youth is a psychological suggestion to fight aging

Women are afraid of aging, and men will face the same problem of aging as they grow older. But they will do some anti-aging activities in their hearts. For example, liking young women is a psychological suggestion against aging. When this type of man is with a young woman, he will feel that he is also young, so as to relieve the subconscious anxiety caused by aging. Whenever these men see a young and energetic girl by their side, it can bring more or less psychological comfort to older men.

3. Reason 3: Satisfaction of self-worth

Usually, when a man is older, he can still choose young women, so he must be confident. A large part of the reason is: either very rich, or very understanding of women, or very considerate and so on. In short, this man must have an ability that is better than ordinary people, which makes him dare to consider looking for a young woman. Because he is just an ordinary middle-aged and elderly man, he usually only dares to think about it in his heart and will not really take action. The reason is that he knows that young girls despise him.

4. Reason 4: Young women can satisfy the vanity of old men

Having a young woman as your partner for the rest of your life is even more of a satisfaction of self-worth. It can reflect the superiority of an older man, and can give him a great sense of vanity in front of his peers. The reason is that the older you are, the more you will care about the loss of self-worth, and the more you want to prove yourself in behavior, and finding a young woman is enough to make you look more attractive.

5. Reason five: love girl complex

"Oedipus complex" refers to the opposite of "Oedipus complex", the psychology of liking "daughter" type women. Some men do have a "female love complex" mentality, just like some men like "mother" mentality. In other words, it's their particular preference for girls who are a bigger age gap than them, and maybe even girls who are about the same age as their children. The behavior of this type of men is often ridiculed as "the old cow eats the young grass".
