I can understand why, historically, some women haven't wanted to date younger men, but I view it like this.
I knew a man some years ago, whose uncle complained about the cost of petrol, and he suggested that he trade his big car in on a little Honda. The man's uncle had fought in New Guinea in World War Two, and he said, "No way! Holden or Ford for me!"
Similarly, I knew a woman whose father wouldn't have anything Japanese, but just before he died, he said to his mechanic, "I want my wife to have a car that's going to give her years of trouble-free motoring after I'm gone. What should I get?" And his mechanic replied, "Look, you can't go past a Toyota Camry for reliability." So, he bought one. And his mechanic was right.
Now, had the woman's father been like the man's uncle and said, "No way! Holden or Ford for me!", his mechanic might have said, "Well, the Holden Camira has frequent trouble with its engine overheating due to a design fault, so I wouldn't recommend one of those. The Holden Astra is a rebadged Nissan Pulsar and the Holden Nova and Apollo are rebadged Corollas and Camrys respectively. The Ford Telstar is a rebadged Mazda 626, and the Ford Laser is very similar, mechanically, to the Mazda 323 (later on they were the same car)." So, do you buy a Camira and wait for the trouble to come, or do you say, "Okay, my mechanic knows what they are talking about and I should trust their advice."
I mean, it's like guys who say, "I want a blonde with blue eyes, who's six feet tall with a bikini figure," and they meet one, yet the five foot six brunette sitting in the corner is perfect for them, but she doesn't get a second glance.
