why is that an older woman looking for younger men is OK but...older men for younger girls is BAD Really? I could have sworn it was the gals dating the older men who got the bad rap as being gold diggers or having daddy issues. Men seem to get called a stud or such nonsense.
Older ladies (cougars) dont get a bad rap
I thought labeling them cougars was the bad rap.
Date who you want, as long as it's legal | |

I'm 34 and I found myself becoming very attracted to a 20-year-old woman, and although we're not a couple, I consider her one of my closest friends. We just totally clicked in so many ways.
Now, let's say things had been slightly different and she and I became a couple -- do I really care if someone else thinks she's too young for me or assumes that I'm only interested in her physically? | |

The rest of the world (including her friends and parents) can f--k off. For me, I'm not necessarily looking for younger women (I tend to look within a 10-year range), but THEY seem to like ME! Guess I have a kind of care-free, fun attitude.
"What if there is a large age difference but they are still at the "same place in life" because one is a very very late bloomer?"
That's me. I was very serious and worked very hard in my 20s and 30s. Now I just wanna have fun! | |

Only diff, is nowadays, both sexes look for younger...women are just catching up to the guys is all...but each sex gets derogatory comments made. Men are called sugar daddies, or dirtly old men, and women are called cougars..neither is a very attractive label, in my opinion.
Date whomever you want, and whomever wants to date you, and tell anyone else to mind thier own bees wax. | |

| why is that an older woman looking for younger men is OK but...older men for younger girls is BAD Posted: 6/17/2009 1:46:40 AM | I think the difference is that men always need to have someone who is visually appealing to them physically (infact I know of two men on here whose second marriages were to women about 15 years younger). Whereas women may take a toyboy here or there but they really would be happy with an older guy who was handsome and interesting for a relationship.
Ironically now those 2 men are looking for women their own age which is in the over forties age group....................LOL | |

| why is that an older woman looking for younger men is OK but...older men for younger girls is BAD Posted: 6/18/2009 9:41:07 AM | | Well, from my personal experience... I have always gotten along better with women that are younger than myself. Usually in the women I enjoy being around the most are in their 30's. I don't know why, it just clicks that way. I have found that the women at my age or older generally are not on the same page with me. It seems that single women at this age are look primarily for money. They have had all the children they want, are settled in a home and are now looking for security toward retirement. I don't like this, that cheapens the relationship. It's artificial. | |

| why is that an older woman looking for younger men is OK but...older men for younger girls is BAD Posted: 7/23/2009 8:28:37 PM | | i am 57, my girlfriend, and we both hope to soon be my wife is 27. we are very much in love and it is because we have both found something in each other we have never had and need. yes i worry about our age difference. even tried to end it because of it. it broke her heart and mine too and we both were so miserable without each other. so we have decided age is irrelevent. love is all that matters and we both feel grateful to have finally found it. so we go off on this wonderful adventure together star crossed and giddy and certain that whatever our differences are we are two souls made for each other. | |

There are far fewer women here and they are gonna dictate to a large extent what's cool and what ain't. Learn this grasshopper and you will have conquered the first lesson of dating on line. This minority rules the roost here . Just look at what happened with the shirtless pics.... Yeah, I was pretty upset when they took my shirtless pictures down. OH, wait ~ you mean you think we ladies wanted your shirtless pictures to disappear????? Hmmmm. I find it hard to believe that particular "rule" was instigated by just women. Could have been the "majority" making the stink. Not everyone looks like you shirtless.
~OT~ I don't understand the constant debate about this. I only worry about my own private life. If someone's taking someone else's personal preferences as a negative thing, I'd have to wonder what type of self esteem and/or self worth exists. It's just human nature to pursue that which we find attractive, regardless of what that is. JMO | |
