Yeah, I even saw a chart of it. Guys in their 20s/30s have love interests in their 20s/30s. Guys in their 50s/60s have love interests in their 20s/30s.

Even if it's not meant to be a relationship between an older man and a younger woman, the man can be played by a 40 year old and the woman by a 25 year old. And you're supposed to think of them as being the same age.

nayrt

I kind of assumed the OP is a guy, mostly because the 'older = sexy' trope is conventionally limited to men.

But it's not news to men that them being older can be sexier, whereas it is for women, and fandom is one of the few places where women wholesale put themselves in men's shoes/see from a male perspective. Plenty of women want to BE the Doctor for instance.

It might be news to a man who's not particularly aware of the double standard, which is... well, potentially a lot of men. Men also have doubts and concerns about their physical appearance as they age, and plenty of them don't realize that as bad as they might have it, women are likely to be under even greater pressure to maintain a certain physical standard as they get older. (And in the case of Hollywood and acting, that still will not be enough.)

Yep, this. The age gap usually isn't addressed at all, as if it's invisible or we're supposed to think that of course handsome middle aged guys would only date twenty year olds! They couldn't possibly be interested in a woman who's say, within 5 years of their own age!

And of course a twenty year old woman always wants to date some middle-aged guy, even if he's not rich or anything.
