I wonder all you ladies are being completely honest. With a few exception I've always dated women older than me.

I my mid-late 30's I began dating women 45-60 and I had no trouble meeting, dating and sleeping with women in that age range, nearly all in 3 dates or less. I'm, at best, an average looking WM, but there was never a shortage of 50ish females to date.

Prior to getting married, I wanted a last hurrah and I had sex with three different and decent looking women (48,54, 58) in a week all on the first date. In fact, a few days before I got married I got calls from two ex's (48, 59) who wanted to hook up.

Over the years i have dated women older than myself and started doing so in my late twenties. Some were as much as 15 years older but i don`t recall this question ever coming up. They never told me how flattered they were and i never thought about it myself, i just enjoyed their company more than the younger girls. They tend to be more open and better communicators as well as being more honest sexually too.

i was just bored and looking through but i dont see how you can generalize that you wont be seen out in public with them. i feel older women are better company than someone the same age but thats just happens to be my personal opinion.

Msg1 : I don't think it is a complement to be contacted by a younger man, maybe because I am analytical person, the mirror doesn't tell a lie even I have smooth face ,vibrant,and can out done any younger people in dancing,,,,,,,,, that I am already in a very advance age. I will think twice if a young man will woo me > is it What I have (money, house, car, savings) ? or is it what I've got ? (a good character and stability).

I'm 28 and a man.

I'm no stud but I've been with an interesting selection of women. All my serious relationships have been with women a little younger than me. Women my own age are almost impossible to find as they are sleeping with older men with lots of money.

The best sex has been with the two women that are older than me... by coincidence both 41 :) Most of my fantasies also contain these women, as does my tasteful film collection. The attraction in my opinion is a physical one, so cynical women on here suggesting men are after an easy lay maybe wrong in some cases. In fact it's a damn site harder to find a genuine women that would like to have some fun in that age bracket than it is to go to a club and find some teenager in a mini skirt. Men like me that pursue women like you should get some credit for the commitment we have and our passion for the women we find attractive!

and your point is????
we know we're better company than most of our younger counterparts....we are questioning whether or not it is a compliment to be contacted by a younger man....of course, part of the question should be, how much younger? 20 - 30 years younger seems way too young no matter what the motivation on the man's part, presuming he is interested in more than sex.

It is a compliment to be contacted by any man, as long as his intentions are honorable and sincere. That does not mean we like it if someone much younger than ourselves contacts us for a sexual encounter. Someone 5 years younger than my age I may be interested in, but would not contemplate having a relationship with anyone lower than that. Many women may differ, as we are all unique and have different tastes, values, and expectations.

Hi,

I agree that all people are different and assuming things based on age are just assumptions. My former husband was 12 years younger than I was. The age was not a factor in the relationship. Men usually die before women so marrying younger has merit.
It isnt illegal or fattening, so I would go out with younger men. The excitement of doing something just a little taboo is exciting in itself. The older men I have been out with were not that thrilling. Younger men have higher libidos and that may or may not be a plus, depending on your liking. My cut off age would about 27 since I have a 20 year old son. That is just my preference. I say, why not risk living a little. But do what ever you like.

A love letter to the angry dismissives: Has anyone thought to open her narrow mind enough to consider that the attraction just might be driven by the ready supply of star mints, butterscotches, and assorted other hard candies the older woman carries in her purse or sets out in a crystal candy dish, on top of a yellowed lace doily, in her home? Not to mention the pleasures of a leisurely 4 p.m. dinner?

Happy Motoring, Love and Fishes, XXXOOO

Someone 5 years younger than my age I may be interested in, but would not contemplate having a relationship with anyone lower than that.
I think it is a compliment to be contacted or approached by an interesting, attractive man, within my age range; if he is interested in me as a person and not just visually or sexually attracted, it is much more of a compliment. I don't consider a man 5 years younger a 'younger man.' I don't consider men as much as 10 years younger to be out of normal age range as far as dating and relationships.

So, for me, when I address this question, I am referring to men more than 10 years younger. As I have been, many times, contacted online by men far more than 10 years younger when I had no picture up, I wonder how I could consider this a compliment? They were not responding to what I wrote in my profile as most if not all had not even read myprofile, and if they did it had no effect as it was clear from their profiles we had nothing in common. With a photo up, as all the other women on here do, I continue to get emails from much younger men, just yesterday two in their 20's. It was obvious neither had read my profile, so they are simply responding to a photo or just the age. It is creepy. I don't think they care much what a woman looks like or anything about her. It's like they are looking for a prostitute, but hoping to get it for free. It's really creepy. I can't understand why women think it is a compliment or why others would say not being complimented is being closed minded.

Yes, it is definitely a compliment, as long as the younger man isn't just looking for another "scalp on his belt". I have dated younger men and found that it is just like any other relationship. You get past the young thing, and the other person becomes just that, a person.

How many women on here are looking for a "soul mate" that according to them is the right age,height,weight,eye color, race, national origin, that does/doesn't have kids,that is/isn't employed,that is/isn't married,etc.
And...this is my favorite lives within a self-specified distance from the woman that thinks he'll be their "soul mate?"

So having narrowed the promising applicants for the job down to a probable few, it seems that the women on here are now dissatisfied w/ the fact that there's not much left.
And also that what's left might not be interested in THEM.

If you then decide that you don't want to acknowledge that somebody outside of your self-selected group has decided to contact you...how can you honestly complain because you are alone?
Or am I misreading all of the postings on here?


I don't see ANY posts here (meaning this thread) where women are complaining about being alone.
Pretty hilarious that you see that.

And ... all the "self"-selected stuff is actually BUILT INTO THE SITE. Did you miss that somehow?

And one last gasp, here, why do you call it a "job"?

This is the meeting of two human beings who may or may not eventually choose commitment. Shouldn't one BE SPECIFIC about what is okay and what is not?

I personally don't care about height, right? Until some poor guy looked at my profile who would literally tower over me by about 5 feet! That's not going to work. He will have to sit all the time. That, or stand 20 feet away. Why? Well, I'm in a wheelchair. (That was a joke, not the wheelchair, but the made-up guy)

The point is, because of my circumstances, it's IMPORTANT for me to know if a guy loves to, say, travel with his "hopeful".... because I can't, etc.

Just to answer the question, No.........it is not a compliment to be contacted by younger men. And I mean younger men, as in young enough to be your son!
They think we're desparate! and i think they are, period.
don't let it flatter you. We all get the contacts, I don't care what you look like.

Well now! Ain't that an accomplishment to be quite proud of! And all from a man who has since married and is on here for an intimate encounter! I find this appalling!

Well, appalling it may be, but how, exactly, do you expect that a married guy would be able to have an intimate encounter?javascript:smilie('')

Gosh, for a second I thought I'd accidentally clicked on the what women find stupid thread,, then realized, somehow, I wound up in Hollywood land...
Now, on to the question at hand..
I don't feel complimented when much younger men contact me, nor am I flattered by the attention of a man much older.
I don't want to be your Moma, I'm not desperate for sex, I don't want to be your caregiver either. I want to interact with men in my peer group,, as in, close to my own age...
That said,, if you like it,, well heck,, go for it.. It doesn't matter to me what your personal choice is..

good morning ladies:

I looked under forums and this one caught my eye...seeing how i too have been contacted by younger men as well as older men n everything in between...and I have been reading all the comments on here...and artgal u paint a grim picture of any woman old or young...do you really look like that? if you do maybe taking care of yourself may be the answer...:)

now no one has stated why younger men contact them...with me and since my profile is very specific to why i am here...chat/talk friend only no relationship needed or wanted I have no quams about younger men contacting me...:)

have a great day ladies and gentleman and I hope you all find whatever your heart desires :)

OMG! What is wrong with most of you?? You are as young or old as you feel! I've always felt younger and told all the time I look younger. Why would I be offended if any man finds me attractive? Come ON, ladies - he never said anything about sex! Men who contact you and end up just wanting sex happens regardless of the age! It's more about their maturity and whether or not they are looking for a relationship.
I've gone out with really young guys who act much older and older guys who act much younger. At this point in my life, I want someone with energy, someone who enjoys life and likes having fun and I don't mean sex.
I've met guys in their 40's who act more like they're 60! It's all about the individual - NOT the age - get a clue!!!

I agree with this but others have a tendency to want to impose on others the restrictions they place on themselves...they dont allow themselves the options to see the benefit of someone younger so if you do ..then you must be wrong.
