Is that it would defer from man to man, society to society, culture to culture...get the drift. No one size fits all here! Most men I've known though, and I do come from a huge multicultural family, have preferred well educated, younger women oh and they have to be beautiful too. Never mind that he may very well be older and lookin it! But of course we also know of men who preferred otherwise. A friend of mine was a divorcee and from a very simple background and remarried a guy who was then one of THE most eligible bachelors and never married before. At that time it was a mega shocker to many..so there!
