moi aussi -“I read all the comments, and I don’t think anyone mentioned that the Gemara says that an old man seeking to marry a young woman, is called a “no’ef” (lecher).”

The Gemorah does mention this and it’s brought down in S’A, but the reason noone mentioned it here is because you got the statement wrong. What it says is – that an old man should Not marry a Yalda. A Yalda is a young girl. This acc. to Halacha definition would be a girl under 12 y.o. Past that age she has a Chiyuv to get married.

I was advocating older girls should consider older men.

From above: – “If you are 25 – 40 and are single – consider marrying a 40 -55 year old male.”
