Fieder and Huber's research found that marriages where the woman is younger than the man tend to have more children, which supports the evolutionary perspective on mate selection differences between genders. This finding suggests that men may prefer younger women due to factors related to fertility, while women may seek older men for their resources and stability, which are advantageous for raising offspring.
