It’s an accepted idea that men are evolutionarily predisposed to want to fuck women at the peak of their fertility — that is
in the first half of their twenties. Women simply can’t help it that
in the words of OkCupid founder Christian Rudder
“From the time you’re twenty-two
you’ll be less hot than a twenty-year-old
based on [OKCupid’s] data. So that’s just a thing." But is it “just a thing?” Should every woman over 22 resign herself to her supposedly natural place on a steep downhill slide? Turns out
it’s complicated. Since it’s an idea that reinforces misogyny in both the romantic and professional lives of women
plenty of people would like to believe it. So it’s worth asking what exactly we actually know about May-December romances
and whether we want to continue to grant this widely-accepted “wisdom” the power it has now. According to U.S. Census data
men are
on average
1.84 years older than their wives at marriage. Men who remarry are especially likely to seek out younger partners. What we don’t know is whether this pattern of age differences between partners is “natural
” as in evolutionarily determined and largely immutable
or the product of social
cultural
and economic structures — what the legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon called the “eroticization of female subordination.” Scientists have been debating the question for decades
with no conclusive answer yet. Those on Team Evolution point to the prevalence of the pattern as evidence that it’s universal
or nearly so. In a major study of human mating done in 1989
evolutionary psychologist David Buss found that in each of the 37 cultures he surveyed
men preferred to marry younger women
by an average of 2.66 years
and women preferred older men
by an average of 3.42 years. This data
he argues
shows that age preferences for a partner are most likely the product of evolutionary pressures. But because detailed birth
death
and marriage records from the Pleistocene don’t exist
we don’t have direct evidence for any evolutionary advantages tied to age differences. We also don’t know what string of DNA
if one exists
would keep this predisposition alive in humans today — nor how powerful it would be compared to social structural influences.
