 Sigh, waaaaay past my prime. 😂 But possibly why I was always attracted to older men 🤷‍♀️ 
 It seems to be biological that women are attracted to older men. They are wiser, more mature, and wealthier which is important for raising children. 
 Unless you're a strong, independent woman... But yes that was it for me, I was looking for someone who could raise a family.  
 Even strong independent women still need someone to help while she’s pregnant and to help raise the kids with her after. Unless she wants to just put her baby in daycare 😂 
 Yep. 😂 
 Says it’s biological and then lists three cultural reasons 😂 
 Attraction to resources is biological. The way males signal this is cultural. Resources include money, status, intelligence, assets, etc.
