... this is related to the "MILF" Genre which had a major boom in the early 2000's....
Disagree, I thought that was a simply a recognition of a lot of women with a couple kids were very attractive.
Which seems like a good thing not a bad thing.
I disagree with your disagreement, i'm pretty sure that when a younger guy is attracted to older women in a lot of cases it could be a sign of having an Oedipus complex at least that's what i think , i couldn't find any research on that topic though. And a lot of young guys like "MILFS" i included, but i don't really know why tbh.
It's definitely not just "a simpl[e] recognition [that] a lot of women with a couple kids were very attractive" imho , why would your subconscious procreation instinct prefer an older less likely to bear healthy children woman instead of a young one ? Pretty interesting topic all in all i think
.....
I won't disagree with this being possibly an unhealthy fixation in an individual male. However you are simply incorrect if asserting that a younger guy attracted to older women would be indicative of mental health issues, a priori. Consider, what is the issue? Is it an 18 attracted to 28? 18 to 38? 18 to 58? 38 to 48? Clearly for 18 to 28, the "older woman" could have 3 kids and be very attractive. Etc, etc.
My comment was more social and cultural. Here is a phrase. "MILF." How did it drift into language? How did it start to be used, and continue to be used? Is it a pejorative term? (I find the term sort of humorous somehow...)
While I addressed the use of the word and the understanding of it by most people, obviously it's a different matter for the rare individual afflicted with a sexual addiction.
