Founder and CEO of Plentyoffish.com Markus Frind said in a statement, “It’s not just men who want to date a few years younger these days. Women in their 30s, 40s and older are pursuing younger men on dating sites.”
Out of the 23,024 women in the US who initiated contact with men, PlentyofFish.com found that 38 percent sought out men who were at least five years younger than themselves. Results also showed that 10 percent of these women messaged men who were at least 10 years younger. Just to confirm that this was no coincidence the survey was then tested north of the border, in Canada. However the results were no different. Out of the 17,684 women who participated, 31 percent confirmed that they emailed men who were at least 5 years younger and 8 percent admitted that they sent messages to men at least 10 years younger.
Regarding the statistics, Frind went on to say: “It doesn't really matter where you're from or if you are male or female. Many people look for younger partners hoping for a more exciting relationship. Demi and Ashton were the exception a few years ago, but by proving it works, more women than ever are comfortable looking to younger men for love.”
