Increase of men in their 20s seeking divorced women around 40 years old
Seems like more young men are seeking divorced women much older then they are. I'm able to understand about the reason given.
Marriage agencies have a section where you can write the desired age of your matchmaking partner. In few cases where men in their early 20s have written "until late 30s" there.
This trend started to emerge in 2024. There are actually men in their 20s who are dating women in their 40s who are 15 years older than them, and we expect this trend to increase in the future.

For older women, their partner is like a younger brother. Even if they are not very good at communicating, they tend to be tolerant. They also have experience, so they think, "If I educate him, he will be able to manage."However, even for older women, it is difficult if it is their first marriage. When it is their first marriage, they tend to have dreams and fantasies about marriage and seek a perfect man who seems unrealistic. They also have a strong desire to be recognized for having worked hard without getting married, and they seem to feel like they want to find a better marriage partner than their married friends and "show them what they got."
As a result, they believe that even when it comes to choosing a restaurant, "the man should make the decision," and if there's even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the relationship may quickly end.
Older women who have been married are more tolerant of younger men, and in particular, women with children, who in the past were often avoided because "they're not into that sort of thing," are now seen as "considerate and kind" when they actually meet, and their success rates in finding a partner are increasing.
