It's a small effect, but yes, the men like the women more to the extent that they're younger.

Leave it there, Epstein.

Yeah, exactly.

But again, this has surprised me, but we've now seen it over and over again.

The women also like the men, to the extent that they're a little younger.

Now, that's age, again, abstracted from everything else.

So we're not looking at things like, oh, I'm sure that if they earn more, they're going to like those guys a little bit more.

But there is something about the appeal of youth, maybe in men specifically, where this gets a little flipped around.

Like women actually don't realize they might like the younger guys once they're on the actual dates with them.

Maybe they're a little more charming.

Maybe they're a little hotter, whatever it is.

So it kind of leaves us with this unusual mystery, which is that women are liking the younger guys, again, just a little bit more than the older guys.

Why do we see this average difference?

I've got ideas.

I got speculations.

One of them is simply that if you look at the pool,

of dateable folks.

Like, who's in the dating market?

Younger people.

Yeah.
