Okay, but nobody is talking about how immature young men are who are in their teens and early twenties. So many girls are more mature than boys at that age. And if you're a smart, talented young woman with a lot going for you, you don't want to date a younger guy who isn't emotionally ready for certain things. I say this as someone who moved to NYC when I was 17 to go to college and was similarly smart, talented and mature as the young women mentioned in this article. I dated guys who were older than me all throughout this period, in my late teens and early twenties. Then, as guys my age caught up to me maturity-wise, I started dating more guys my age.I think it's a bit anti-feminist and through a patriarchal lens to assume that these young girls were being taken advantage of by older men who were choosing them. They were also choosing not to date immature guys.
