Are many young girls about 12-16 attracted to older men about 30-50? Is it instinctive for them to want an older man to take care of them?

Why are 12-16 year old girls so alluring?

There must be some biological reason why.

How long will it be before science proves that most men are secret pedos?

The males of our closest relative, the chimp, have sexual preferences almost completely opposite to us. They prefer the older females towards the end of their breeding lives. The reason for the difference seems to be that male chimps are highly promiscuous, pursue only short term “pump and dump” relations with the females and don’t play any role in the raising of their offspring so it makes sense for them to go for the older females of proven fertility and mothering ability.

Human males seem to be wired to choose females more for long term than short term relations. They prefer young females nearer the beginning of their breeding lives that have the maximum long term breeding potential.

So the big question is why has this system evolved in us but not chimps?

Is rape a specific adaption or a byproduct of our sexual motivations?

Or a third possibility that combines the first two is that rape is just one specific way of achieving the wider goal *IMPREGNATE FEMALES*. Evolution has equipped men with general sexual motivations that can result in raping under the appropriate conditions.
