It never ceases to be and issue.  Why do older men prefer younger women?  Why would a 40 year old man seriously be interested in a woman who is 20.  There are obvious reasons, but there are some not so obvious variables that are left out of this ideology.  An example you ask?  Sure.

1. A twenty year old is seldom interested in a 40 year old.  He reminds her of her father.

2. Children. She wants them, he has grown ones.

The lesson learned from this short exercise is for the Muslim man to think realistically about the type of lifestyle he wishes to have, and then consider whether or not having a women who is near his age would keep him from having this lifestyle.  Undoubtedly he will answer no, and then he should consider for what reason is he only considering women young enough to be his offspring.
