Why do so many women (and some men) here act as if men date younger women because it's easier to land them?

Unless you have money i would argue (and in my own experience) that it is generally harder to "land" a woman significantly younger than the man.

And with studies showing men generally finding younger women as more attractive I find the narrative of the men being losers who can't date women their own age and having to date younger as just some weird shaming tactic that doesn't hold up to reality.

And a question for the men as well, is it easier to "land" a younger or older woman in your experience and what are some reactions you have gotten with your age gap?
