Apart from obvious attractiveness in younger adults, I'd probably chalk it up to societal norms (and maybe there's an evolutionary component to it as well) for males' perceived value on being the bread winner.

So dating younger is how you ensure they are dependent on you, and thus fulfill your purpose as a man.

even more gross

dating younger women to take advantage of dependence.

There's absolutely a ton of men out there who are looking to trap a young woman into marriage. I'd say that's the biggest risk of an big age gap relationship for a woman.

i feel like if pedophilia was legal those men would go after children

It is legal and they do so long as you're a Christian and get the parents to agree.

it's insane how it's (sadly almost) universally accepted that pedos are the scum of the earth, yet somehow as a national, that's allowed.
