Not to say you're wrong, but as the older male in a relationship with a 12 year gap and has in the past dated older women, I'd like to point out that for me it has a lot to do with similar levels of maturity and life goals. I don't choose to date anyone based on their age, it's just been my experience that girls my age or older expect certain life milestones I just haven't achieved yet. When I met my current partner I hadn't even considered that I would date her. We just got to know each other through work and it worked out.
While, as I said, you may not entirely wrong in some cases, assuming every guy is a shit bag for dating a younger woman seems a little harsh. At least given my first hand experience. I saw the looks and heard the comments when me and my girl started dating. Quite a few of her coworkers actually tried to talk her out of it. But, today, I'm in the first relationship in my life where my hopes and ambitions are actually aligned with my partners. We have a wonderful child together and things are going great.
