i think it WAS "just beat into your brain" that the woman you date should be
younger. i have dated many men my age or a year or two younger & we got along
fine. if he was 4 or 5 years younger i found myself feeling a bit impatient
because i'd already solved some of the problems he was going through (but one
is unable to help with some things, despite having experienced them). in
general, i prefer someone close to my age. i think the idea of dating younger
women springs from the old notion of viewing women as more helpless &
childlike. it's easier to do so if you are more experienced/mature than she.
