Women over 40 likely to fall for younger men says study

Cougar — a term for women over 40 who like to have sexual relations with younger men, now has a scientific backing to it. A new study has revealed that cougars are biologically driven rather than by lust to select a younger male partner for them. The study has revealed that women over 40 who have in-vitro fertilisation are far more likely to conceive with a much younger man because young sperm ‘corrects’ their old eggs, while the same applies for older men choosing young ‘trophy wives’ – whose young eggs correct defects in old sperm, Stuff.co.nz reported. Researcher Michael Dahan, of Montreal’s McGill University, said that it actually gives a biological argument for the cougar phenomenon of an older woman selecting to be with a younger male.

The researchers, who analysed data of 631 women in their 40s undergoing 904 cycles of IVF, found the age of the male partner was a strong predictor of success because, once a woman hit 40, her eggs were less able to correct DNA defects in sperm and older women’s chances of having a baby plunged once their partner reached an average age of 43.5, much younger than in previous studies, which found a deterioration in sperm quality for men aged over 50. New technology found that DNA in sperm became ‘more fragmented’ as men aged, which was why the fertility clinic stopped accepting donors aged over 45.

Here are 9 things women notice in men

1. Height: It s probably the first thing a woman notices in a man. Irrespective of whether you re tall or short, you should be able to carry your height well. Avoid slouching if you re too tall and avoid being uncomfortable around tall women if you re short.

2. Flat tummy: A protruding belly is a complete turn-off for women because fitness is something that they really appreciate. Don t aim for six-pack abs, but at least work out in the gym hard enough to lose that extra layer of fat around your belly.

3. Muscular arms: Okay, size does matter in every aspect to women, but we re talking about arm size and nothing more. It s not necessary to have bulging biceps with a ripped body, but at least make sure that they are toned and shapely enough to warrant a second glance. Women will appreciate it.
