Men prefer younger women because they are attracted to fertility, that's common knowledge. And we know that women are attracted to provision from men. Generally, men will have their lives together as they approach their mid 20s - starting a career, being independent and able to drive, but they'll also have pre-selection experience too from their early twenties. The move from adolescence to manhood.

The problem for who are colloquially called the "fine wine copers" is that statistically the gap is only 2-4 years. I've seen many a video of University aged women rating male profiles being sincere when they show disgust at late 20+ year old men who paid for race ratings from real women. Young women, on average, do not want to date and have relationships with substantially older men, despite what Tomassi and Co tell you and waiting until your thirties to date young women will backfire for many men. Not saying it will never happen but while you may have your life in order, you'll lack pre-selection experience (it's why divorced middle aged men do better in dating compared to their long term single counterparts) and encounter the stigma of older men hitting on younger women.
