Men get more disgusted as they age? It's only a matter of time before my husband sees the real, slovenly, me | Emma Beddington
Briefly

A recent study from the Institute for Environmental Decisions in Zurich reveals that men's disgust levels rise with age, eventually aligning more closely with those of women. While younger women typically display higher disgust sensitivities than men, aging alters this dynamic due to increased physical vulnerability. For women, disgust remains stable during their fertile years and high post-menopause, ensuring a protective measure against disease. This convergence could enhance domestic harmony in relationships by reducing disputes over cleanliness standards, although individual variations in disgust tolerance persist.
Researchers have discovered that as men age, their levels of disgust increase, potentially helping them avoid contaminants as physical vulnerability rises.
In youth, women generally experience more disgust than men, but later in life, the difference diminishes, leading to similar levels of disgust in older adults.
