I don't fully recognise this phenomena, though in large parts I surely do. I know a few who have younger girlfriends/wifes, but I also know a few women who have boyfriends/husbands who are significantly younger than temselves.
In discussions I sense there is a differance between fantasies/sex and love/sex. And the sexual charisma is known to be a mix of a beautiful body and a smashing personality. I have heard several men, younger and older, phraise a couple of Swedish actresses born in the 40s. When going out me and my lady friends are frequently asked to dance by younger men (and men our age but seldom older men...could it be the docs?) And I am chubby. Is this a Swedish thing?
But sure, I see your point, and the article was very"the thumb on the nail". Some people are hoplessly shallow...and I predict they will die alone.
Personally I have a thing for long, slim, sexy male legs (and androids!). I can't help it, my mind and my libido do not always get along through logic. Fortunately I have other turn-ons as well, lucky for me that is, I would detest being all that shallow. A big turn-off for me is all them Ken and Barbie like people, platic perfect and altered, only good for hanging clothes on.
Truly beautiful people on the other hand, I can never look enough on them. It is like looking at art but just like art it is clear they are fantasy, photoshop fantasy, makeup and hair fantasy. They are not for real sex, and if they stopped me from having real sex and real turn-ons I would see a shrink, a.s.a.p.
