Dirty Old Men Lust For Young Girls
The older men often flaunt their brainpower and high income in order to attract women. Research in the theory of evolution includes a number of accepted theories about how men and women choose their partners. Among the more established ones is that men place more emphasis on attractive appearance, whereas resources and social status are more important to women.
By examining lonely hearts advertisements, the research team tested how valid these presumed preferences are when modern individuals choose partners. To some extent, the study"s findings support recognized notions, like – women, more than men, look for solid resources and social status. As a result men also offer this in their ads, through formulations like "large house" and "economically independent." Men in all categories prefer younger partners. Of a total of 97 men who mentioned age in their ads, only three were looking for an older partner – among men aged 40 to 59, only one out of 67.
"When it comes to physical characteristics, it turned out that men and women were the same.

"When it comes to physical characteristics, it turned out that men and women were the same. Both used words like, "athletic," "beautiful," "pretty," "tall," "handsome," and "trim" to the same extent, and this goes both for their descriptions of themselves and for the characteristics they were looking for in a partner," says Jorgen Johnsson at the Department of Zoology, University of Gothenburg, one of the researchers behind the study.
In the study, published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology, the researchers looked at 400 lonely hearts ads in the Swedish newspapers Goteborgs-Posten and Aftonbladet and on the Websites Spraydate and match.com.
