I was going to post this observation in the Player's Lounge thread , but since it's relevant I'll put it here.
I was out Fri and Sat nights and noticed a LOT of significantly older guy-younger woman couples. When I say older I mean 45-65 and by younger 27-40. So 15-30 years age difference. Most of the women were quite attractive. Maybe 70% of the men seemed to be cool guys who looked decent for their age, with 30% looking really beta or otherwise subpar. I also saw a good many guys right around 40 with girls 23-26. I've been seeing this more and more over the last few years. Some of these are locals, but a lot were tourists. A lot of guys with money bring their girlfriends or mistresses to the beach for a weekend.
You did not formerly see so many large age difference couples. My theory is that this is due to economic changes. It's harder now to get a well paying job, a lot of people are in debt, especially women who went to college, and long term career security has diminished. A lot of women feel economically vulnerable and in addition they want the good life they are sold in the media. So an older man with money is a very attractive option in the current climate.
Money can overcome other deficits too. A couple of weeks ago I was at a drink meeting with an online chick. We were talking about dating and she said she knew a guy around our age who was dating a pretty 24 year old and said "He's fat, but she says she likes him." Later we walked to another bar and the guy was sitting at the bar. She introduced us. She was right; the guy was really fat and rather ugly to boot. After we left, she said "He has money."
Once you get to a certain age, money becomes an essential force multiplier if you want to consistently bang hot girls or keep a particular one around.
