My story .. somewhat un-related i see ...
give or take a few (me not-included), most want to date there own age group ... or they just find older ppl a bit gros .. but for me,
I've always loved older ladies on a brain level mainly, even when I was 15yr I always steer-clear of young ones yuk! and too silly or sumpthin...... but tried REAL-HARD lol for the 25-30yr ladies ...and now that I'm older :) its like a dream come true ... err fantasy as I say .. cuz I still feel 15 with the same desire ... well .. not 25-30yr but even better 40-50+yr ;o) .....wow cant wait till I'm 80yr (jus imagine) j/k

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

The older I get the more I realize that arbitrary boundaries are pretty silly, because you never know what people's life experiences are going to be. 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?

Older women don't get a bad rap when they date a younger man? They don't? No rap no hip hop either? I am buying my ticket to your part of the country tomorrow! Women who dated younger men get the same amount of bad rap in my experience. i am not finding anything wrong with anyone dating someone older or younger. That is nobody's business.

As far as I'm concerned, this is between you and the young chick of your desires. 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!

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....

So we should believe in ourselves YET bend our opinions to accommodate others for desire to be with others who commend us on being ourselves?

Sadly, both genders now suffer from the stupid middle age crisis!

This is funny...Ive seen older men with younger women my whole life...Yes, we called them dirty old men...and Yes, we still do! LOL

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.

Because we live in a feminist society that says men cause problems when they act like men, and need to reform; whereas women are just fine and dandy, no need to change. I'm not going for it.

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

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.

It doesnt matter whatsoever. If two people find happiness and there is an age gap, who cares. If somoene cares it is because they are scared of "not looking good". They want to be accepted by others. To think age is a big deal is the same thinking as if someone was gay is a big deal. Drop your insecurities and enjoy life.

if you're happy and the person you're with is happy with the arrangement... why should you care if someone else approves?

oh yeah.. it's the internet and you're going to die at the hands of some college kid if you take his booty call...

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.

Older women(cougers) in my opinion only seek the younger guys because they have more fun with them then alot of older men their age. Older men, well it's just natural to want a younger girl...it lights their ego, but however most young women are going for the older guys because of money, security, stablity and maturity and looks don't matter all that much.

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

Probably because the ones who think its sick are themselves "sick" in the head.
True love has but one condition: two consenting adults. There are no other rules,
which can make for some difficult times. You can't please everybody so why bother trying? Most people who complain about anything are doing so out of jealousy&spite.

Strange. I always thought that the opposite was generally accepted. This cougar thing however, will never be accepted in the same way.

Used to be, Sex in the City changed all that stuff lol. Being a cougar is the new bisexual nowadays in terms of sexual fads.
