"Older successful men are routinely pursued by much younger women -- and he's (appallingly) that much more attractive if he's married."

You know, I hear men saying this (really only on the internet) but I've never seen it in real life and I was never attracted to much older men, and CERTAINLY not married older men (happily, I am starting to be attracted to older men now, but I'm 40, and being attracted to men even my own age is rather new - I've been dating younger men for the past decade), and I've yet to hear any of my friends say this is a thing (and we discuss things like that).

Have you witnessed this yourself, or is it just a rumor? Who are these girls?
