I can give similar reasons (to avoiding older women) to why I wouldn't recommend older men (like 10+ years) as a first choice. Less likely to be a virgin, they'll have more sɛҳuąƖ experience, more jaded/bitter with women (if they've been looking for long), they'd die earlier and i'd be alone for a longer time. And men closer to my age are more physically attractive than a much older man. And they have more energy and motivation compared to an older man.

Marriage is about physical energy argument again.

Both. Younger women have more energy for their children and husband, have less expections and experiences and entitlement, are more fertile, less jaded/bitter, cuter and less brainwashed. Economy pushes back marriage for men, education is what pushed back marriage for women.

Were you the person bringing “energy” into this for the woman then later arguing that it doesn’t matter for the man?  My husband works harder now that we have 9 kids than he did when we had 1.  He needs his health and energy to provide for our family well and the obligations only increase with each addition to the family.

I don’t understand why people keep bringing up the Holy Family.  Joseph and Mary did not have a sɛҳuąƖ relationship.  Also, on the flip side, a 37 year old man will be 67 when his 14 year old bride is no longer fertile.  The baby they could have at age 10 will have a father that is 77.  Do you think that’s ideal?  If an energetic mother is important, isn’t the same true for a father?

My dad is 70 and he is very active. Sure he has problems like arthritis but he is always keeping busy doing something like gardening etc.

I don't see age gaps having more benefits than a marriage where both spouses are similar in age. It's just something that happens when the economy is so bad. Or the woman is married off to escape poverty.

Actually historically it was always the norm for the male to be older. An age gap hells the woman understand her place better, being a similar age is dangerous due to modern brainwashing of "equality".

If they are all under 18 then yes thats the hardest part. After that, they start earning and can bring money into the house.
Children should be doing chores anyway from a young age. Especially the girls inside the house.

Come now, let’s discuss honestly shall we? Stop gaslighting. She is discussing it as a factor, not as the one and ONLY defining factor.
