When a man over 40 dates women in their 20s… because he isn’t mentally matured enough to Meet the standards of women within his age group. These men often don’t commit until they’re elderly.. or act as sugar daddies to the PYT’s and many eventually start families and/or marry these women that have no genuine interest in being with an older man outside of the security or potential benefits the man can provide due to his advanced age and financial success.

The syndrome aspect is that these men are not matured enough to date women that have a established sense of self & life experience to Have learned from … so they keep dating women so much younger that they are looked up to by them instead of equal to them.
