연상의 여성을 좋아하는 한국 남성들은 연상녀로부터 이해심, 경제력, 스킨십을 기대한다는 사실이 수요일 알려졌다.

결혼정보회사 듀오는 479명의 국내 미혼 남성을 대상으로 연상녀에게 매력을 느끼는 이유에 대한 설문조사를 했다.

그 결과 22.3%가 연상의 애인이 ‘남자의 마음을 잘 이해해줄 것 같다'고 답했다.

또 다른 이유로는 ’스킨십 측면에서 배려심이 많을 것 같아서'와 ‘돈을 적게 쓸 수 있어서' 등이 있었다.

반면, 연상과 연애할 때의 장애물로는 ’불확실한 미래'가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났고, ‘남자는 어린 여자를 만나야 한다는 사회적 편견' 과 ’충분하지 않은 경제력' 등의 답변이 이어졌다.

Why Korean men date older women

South Korean men who prefer dating women older than them expect more consideration, a generous view on expressing intimacy, and an economic advantage from their girlfriends, a survey showed on Wednesday.

The local matchmaking company DUO conducted a survey on 479 single men and discovered 22.3 percent of the participants are attracted to older women because of their ability to better understand their boyfriends’ feelings.

Those surveyed also cited that older girlfriends are more open to expressing affection and intimacy. They said they feel less pressured to spend money when going out with older women.

In contrast, the respondents said that having older girlfriends has some disadvantages such as the lingering social bias against such relationships and their self-confidence problems when their income is lower than their partner’s.
