| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 4:24:01 PM | | Venuscalls, I think you nailed it. I was told once that I could walk into a room with 20 men...10 might not give me a second glance, 10 wouldnt be able to take their eyes of me because of the "confidence factor" but as soon as I opened my mouth all twenty would be in my bag. I actually thought that was one of the nicest compliments I ever recieved. I have many 30-40 year old men who would give their right arm to be with me, but I dont feel like being a teacher. Women do indeed come into their prime sexually around 50, a twenty year old couldnt compete with her on good day, why ? Because of what you said, a happy, healthy, confident woman brings to the table a myriad of gifts. But so does a 60 plus man who adores the gifts she brings...just a thought.. | |

I think it's the curly hair. It's not all that intimidating. But I tell you, get me in work mode and I've scared the pants out of some very powerful men.
A woman with curly hair is my weakness so down I go..............
and those long legs..................lol............ what was the question again? ~smile~ | |

OT: Sometimes I know I intimidate men. Not all thank goodness, just some.
Well, Ms Moon, I was a bit intimidates when you had be tied to the bed and began walking on my chest in those high heeled boots that stretched over the knee to mid-thigh, and kept flicking that riding crop dangerously close to......
OOPS! Wrong thread! Should be on the "Kinky" one!!! | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 5:01:12 PM | Yeah, I am but when you see how they act it's perfectly understandable. It's kind of like being a defendant in a civil trial when the plaintiff's counsel has shifted the burden of proof to the defendant. I've read some of their profiles here on POF. They are demanding, exacting, come on very strong and I'm like shit I'm not going near that ! Then I have met several on other places on the internet (not dating sites) and the first thing they start on is what dogs their ex's were. So now I have to prove I'm not that way. A lot of these older girls perceive men as bad guys until they prove themselves otherwise. Hell even my own mother used to say to me all the time " you men are all alike" and that frosted my ass to no end. | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 5:15:45 PM | I'm going back to the OP's original question: Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women?
The question would have been better phrased as: Are SOME older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Obviously, the answer to that would have to be yes. Just like some older women are intimidated by older sexy men.
What I'm seeing in many of the examples and experiences put forward on this thread is that some people aren't seeing the simple reality that it doesn't matter whether a particular woman is smart, skilled and sexy if their personality doesn't mesh with a particular man. It doesn't mean either has a "bad" personality; it just means they're not good together.
There are quite a few smart & sexy people of both genders who are regular posters here who I know I wouldn't want to spend any time with. I just don't like their personalities. It has nothing to do with being intimidated by them. | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 5:22:50 PM | Jeepers Ms dawn1114 , I had to go peek at your profile and see if you were a lawyer, judge, or politician..!! And to make things worse (for me..) You're the second gal from N.S. caught my attention!!! No way I can swim that far... but a very well stated comment.. as it did make me think, and does make sense to me.. But then again... looking for another wife makes sense to me too..!!! ---SoldierByte--- | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 5:30:28 PM | Dawn; I realized early on in this thread that I should have worded it differently. Sounds like I'm asking if all older men are sometimes........ Rather than are some older men sometimes......... You are so right about that.
But I think most got my meaning. Like I've said earlier, it takes more than just being sexy, or smart, or talented, etc. There are many reasons why all are not attracted to all. But, I was addressing the question of older men being intimidated by older sexy women. That's all. | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/17/2009 5:43:30 PM | | When I find myself gazing in to a woman's eyes,she is gazing in to my eyes. We are both frozen in the moment wondering what or if to say anything. I not looking at the body, just her eyes and face. That is what I find sexy. | |

I'm intrigued that so many posters believe they have experienced that scenario, though. I've never had the impression that any man, of any age, was intimidated by my (version of) sexiness. I guess it's possible, but it doesn't seem likely. It makes more sense just to assume that the men who aren't interested in me simply aren't interested in me for any number of reasons.
Maybe I'm just not an intimidating person, in general. That could be. | |

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/18/2009 7:58:20 AM | Dawn, I understand. However, when you look at my age, you will understand that the older men I speak of are not in your age category. Actually, when I speak of younger men, I'm meaning men in your age category. Most who responded here, are not in the age group that I was speaking of. But, I welcome their opinions. The women are not old enough to have experienced what some of us 60+ women have experienced in this area.
I would hope that men who are in their 50's, would not have the issues that men in their 60's plus would have in the area of which I was speaking. But I know that some do. I would expect both men and women in their 40's and 50's to still be sexy, so intimidation because one is still sexually oriented while the other may not be, would probably not be pertinent, to the degree that it would be in older men and women.
In my opinion, the only comments with any validity here, are the ones from those who are 60+.

| Are older men sometimes intimidated by older sexy women? Posted: 9/18/2009 1:15:24 PM | I dont think older men (60+) are "intimidated" but they have a very narrow view of women who are free with their sexuality...by free i dont mean they are giving away sex but who might even enjoy the lights being on.
Most of the older men grew up in a time period where sex was hush hush, they have more values and morals than most nowadays and dont understand the need for the sexuality that is often on open display in real life and on television, movies etc. | |

Well, perhaps those over 70, but the 60 year olds grew up sexually in the 1960s, and that was the era of free love and the great rebellion against conservative mores.
I do agree however that while sexuality was hardly invisible (Playboy had exploded on the scene by then), the intensity of its public display has certainly increased over the decades. | |

I see your point, I guess, but at the same time I'm quite sure some of the other posters were talking about men in their 50s experiencing this "intimidation" factor. I could be wrong, though, and maybe they're also talking about men in their 60s and 70s. Maybe some of them would be kind enough to clarify. | |

intimidation" factor. I could be wrong, though, and maybe they're also talking about men in their 60s and 70s. Maybe some of them would be kind enough to clarify. Having recently (May this year) just left the "50's" and now fresh into the "60's" I can say I know that many of my peers ARE intimidated by older, successful, pretty/sexy "assertive' females.. As for me... as I have stated MANY times before AND upon my profile.. I am attracted to strong, successful, assertive (yes.. even aggressive) females.. My C.O. (Commanding Officer was a female and I'd do ANYthing it took to stay in her "graces", and have her "attention", and would have followed her to h-e-l-l and back - as were most , if not all the other members of my unit) Personally I like a wild cat more so then a house mouse.. but that is my preference.. Looks are more of how she carries/presents herself.. Now.. if she gots some cash, likes lil flirts.. then I'm her keeper..!! ---SoldierByte--- | |

Well, I just turned 60+ today. So, I guess my opinion will have more validity than it did yesterday? Well I'm here to tell ya, I don't know anymore today than I did yesterday. Same day, different chit......... I'm wiser........ahem............because of 24 hours.? Time does not make a person wiser. Even life experience doesn't make people wiser. A person who is intimidated by people, is just that ...............intimidated. Nothing else. | |
