Most men over 30 have often said they don't date women under 25 because they are too much work. They feel like if she's too young, they almost have to "raise her" and it's annoying.

I'm curious about comparing 3 groups of men:

Single men over 30 who don't use dating apps

Single men over 30 who use dating apps

Committed men over 30 who are faithful

The approach I would like to take is when "seeking" female attention who do they or did they spend most of their time contacting?

I have a theory that men who were not socialized to see women as equals. Men who were socializes to see women as "dependents" are far more likely to fetishize younger women and teens.

I hypothesize that more men like this exist on dating apps because an empowered woman of today is not going to connect with them in person. Meanwhile, the single man who does not use apps doesn't need to because he probably knows how to communicate in a way that women will respond well too.

A study like this could go a long way to ward educating parents on how to teach their sons healthy interactions with girls and later women. This kind of study could also shape media presentation and go a long way toward reducing this issue.
