I don't know why but it has increased since we now have shows like Cougars.
For the same reasons that women perfer older men. No it actually has not increased, if you look at history, Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine; Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway, Henry V111 and Catherine of Aragon; Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers; my grandparents, my friend's mother and father (fifteen years difference), and many more, All these were long before Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore. It is just now there is more media coverage and they need something to talk about.
Just because it was never discussed in the media or on television (i.e. , Cougars), doesn't mean that only recently have men discovered older women. Some men have always been attracted to older women.In reality, attraction has more to do with factors such as personality, things in common, and so forth than age differences.
My answer to this awesome question is because those men who are with older women have been treated very badly by the younger woman I myself am with a older woman and im loving every minite of the time we spend together the other reason is possibly because they choose to and as for whether it has increased no one can answer that question because there has never been a massive study on age gap relationships.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
