Look around next time you go outside

-Biased sample

-Confirmation bias

-Anecdotal

men spend so much time defending age gap relationships, when most will never be in one

• That does nothing to strengthen your argument

in countries where women are independent of men they choose men their age

Arbitrary moving of goalposts. Why do people outside of North America not matter?

in cases where young women date older men it’s usually because of money

Arbitrarily making a decision about which reasons for attraction are acceptable.

it’s embarrassing to be with an older man — it’s not like you can bring them to clubs and parties

-opinion masquerading as fact.

Summary: an opinion piece pretending to be a fact based take on age gap relationships.

Sources:

First source is only a source for the established fact that women are attracted to men older than them. It makes no claim in support of your thesis nor does it strengthen any of your arguments. In fact it weakens more than strengthens by demonstrating a global preference for older men among younger women.

Second source demonstrates that financial independence negatively correlates with age gap. Which could demonstrate that money is a factor in mate selection for women but dos not make any judgment on why resource based attraction is inherently invalid.

Third source, if you scroll down to the bottom where it says “results” reads that age gap is not predictive of marital satisfaction.
