The things that a 24 year old person and a 33 year old person enjoy are likely to be vastly different. It would be difficult for the social circle of the average 24 year old to blend in with the social circle of a 33 year old and vice versa.

Let's just assume for the topic that the 33 year old is a man, and the 24 year old is a woman. The only reason the man is looking for a younger woman is because they're more beautiful than their older counterparts and if a guy can marry a woman who is 9 years younger than him, she will still be beautiful when he's 45 and he's winning at life.

And a young woman, probably just out of college with debt, would only benefit from being with the mysterious older man who has had more time to acquire wealth and probably has a house already. If she can just join into his life, always be with a more mature man than her friends, she's winning at life. It's that simple.

Do people like this love each other? Sure, but it's silly to pretend that the conditions for these relationships don't exist. People just don't like to hear about because they feel like it invalidates their feelings.

Sounds like you lack a decent number of friends. I am 44 and my gf is 29. We were friends for 3 years first because we were in the same social circle. My good friends range from about 24 to 54.
