On top of that, according to PR Newswire, among that 60%, 34% of men in their early 20s prefer to date women who are five to 10 years older than them, and that's for four main reasons.

Those reasons include:

1 - Mature women have a lot of experience when it comes to everyday life
2 - Mature women are often achievers with advanced experience in their work field and career
3 - Mature women have often found their way in the world and know how to be self-sufficient and independent
4 - Mature women have refined their personalities and interpersonal skills, often leaving them to embody self-assurance, self-confidence, and sharp conversational skills

The study also found:

- 34% of young men aged 22 to 25 years old with interest in older women prefer to date those 5 to 10 years older than them
- 25% of men aged 25 to 30 years old with the same preference for older women prefer to date those just 3 to 5 years older. However, among slightly older men aged 30 to 45 years old, the age preference gap grew to include women 3 to 15 years older
- 50% of men over 45 years old preferred women just 1 to 4 years older.
