why do we see so many not-so-young men leaving their wives and families for young girls ..
as usual .. i would blame evolution instead of calling the guy a pervert .. all a guy wants (without him knowing) is to ensure that his gene goes on .. he wants to maximise the probability of having kids ..
there is a big difference between male and female fertility .. females reach their peak at the age of 20 and their fertility goes down very fast after the age of 35 .. same thing is applicable to males as well but the decline in fertility is not that pronounced .. this is also because the male just needs to fertilise a healthy egg but the female has to go though a much longer 9 month gestation period which requires her to be in top health conditions ..
so our ancestor males figured it out that if they want to maximize the probability of their gene's survival and have more babies they need to move to younger female partners once their current partners reach a not-so-fertile age of 40 and above .. this tendency of moving to younger girls has lived on deep inside the males long after till today .. its natural instinct that a guy in his 40s would get attracted to a girl in her 20s .. this is one of the reasons we as a specie have survived .. if it wasn't for this our chances of survival would have been much lower
