At best it's just someone's misguided bitter opinions. Women are every bit as sexual, cold and barbaric as men and that's the reality. One type of behavior is not assigned to one gender. That's complete foolishness. I wish some women (and men) could just accept that there doesn't have to be an underlying agenda when two people have a relationship. The way women chase younger men constantly always talking about sex proves that this behavior is not related to gender. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 6:02:01 AM | | I agree with you cw35..it's not just men, it's both genders. It's the fact that some people really can't accept that they are aging and they "box" themselves in by not accepting others in their own agegroup. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 7:24:59 AM | Can only speak for myself here (wish others would preface the same way instead of generalizing their comments) when I say that an age gap that large would be in NO WAY good to me.
There is no way in my mind that I could be engaged mentally by someone in their early 20's. I would know that my interest was strictly physical and that I would probably want to punt them out the door immediately after having my way with them.
I have had the extreme pleasure of companionship with someone close to my age that had my attention in all facets.
Besides, just because we are in our 40's doesn't mean we can't act like teenagers once in a while.... | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 8:07:10 AM | I guess it would be for the individuals reasoning behind it. My mother was 25 and my dad was 38 when they got married (second marriage for both, my mother was divorced and his wife had died of cancer).
My dad had six kids and my mother had me , then, they had one with each other, and even tho im sure they had their ups and downs they will be celebrating their 41st anniversary this year. Kudos mom and dad! Love Ya!
So, again, could be a good thing and could be a bad thing, but only those involved can know why they are doing what they are doing. Their lives, their business. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 8:23:13 AM | They are not all like that. My daughter is 33 and son 30. I have guys from their 20s to 60s ask me out. If they are younger than 35, ewwwww!!!! Even though I am still way older than a 35 year old, he is old enough to date and have a lot of fun with. I thought all older guys looked for really young women, I was proven wrong. It goes both ways, everyone has their own tastes in what they are looking for. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 9:16:11 AM | | I agree with you women can be cold, barbaric, and sexual as men. I wasn't talking about women. My focus was on men. I guess your nature is your agenda, anger about women. | |

With out man bashing here, I just don't get it.
What is the commonality of a 48 year old male, seeking out a 18 or 19 yr old lady.
Is it purely sexual ? I see it more and more on dating sites, Men in their late 40's saying they are only seeking 25 and younger. I know there is a core need for men to reproduce, spreading their seed sorta thing. Seriously other then that, why do men do this? Is it an ego thang.
While there's no denying women look their best at a younger age, it is rather shallow to exclude older women simply on age.
Beyond pure physical attraction, I did just hear about a study which revealed that women are happiest at the age of 28ish. While men are certainly not immune to growing more unhappy with age, I do think that women experience greater pressure and anxiety due to their biological clocks ticking down shortly after that age. Not to mention the environmental pressure society place on childless women leaving their fertile years. It's no wonder women have such a short "window" of happiness.
That said, I've found myself more attracted to younger women (18-25) both because of their looks and their upbeat attitude. You can't blame men for not seeking out depressing women who've given up on life (aka the vast majority) | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 11:24:06 AM | | Muriel: So you can say something (supposedly facts) about men and it's an opinion but if I point out the same in women, I'm angry? Interesting double standard. Saying you took a course that said all these things about men in no way leads me to believe you thought the same about women. You probably should mention that. I'm baffled that you can take a course that fills people's minds with generalizations and falsehoods about men. Is there one about women as well? | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 1:38:56 PM | tomic bomb 18 year old boys and girls can date 98 year olds for all I care, but I still would think the older person would feel like a bit of a pervert. An 18 year old dating a 48 year old isn't just older it is close to being grandma or grandpa.
I also think 18 is way to young to be in the military.
While an 18 year is legaly considered an adult and yes they can dete who they want, join the military. For some reason in the US they can't drink until they are 21. Not enough judgement skills perhaps to decide what they can do after drinking? When a person turns the legal age where they live, it does not magicaly turn them into an adult.
As to the age of 28, it wasn't for any reason other than the idea the older the person is the less age difference makes.
I make no difference by gender. Same for a 48 year old woman wanting to date an 18 year old boy.
As to being jealous? Jealous of what? I had my time being young, and now it is their turn. Not to mention that for my age, I think I am in fairly good shape.
Men and women who are 40 plus that wanted to date 18 year old boys and girls just use the fact that they are barely legal to justify their really horrible behaviour. Legal or not it is still wrong, and any decent person would agree to that. I wonder how many of these 40 plus people dating 18 years would want someone that age to date their 18 year old son or daughter. | |

And what business is it of yours?
Well no need to be rude...she is just making a market analysis.
Seems men in her age range are not interested in women of her age.
So its a legit. wonder. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 1:58:37 PM | Very well said bcsofnc57,
Not to mention you hit my hot button! I think it is pathetic that an 18 year old can join or be drafted into our armed forces, be expected to kill and put themselves on the line to be killed, yet they can't buy a beer in their own country?
This shows just how stupid our lawmakers really are. If 21 is the legal drinkiing age, then it also should be the minimum age to die for our country.
IN MY OPINION, That is just as wrong, if not more so, then the 18 year old dating a 40 plus person. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 2:20:19 PM | I really don't think these men choose these young women because they want to procreate! Of course they do it for the ego. As I get older, I find myself seeking younger men. Why? I'm a young 38. I don't have kids. I'd rather be with someone who's willing and able to dance the night away than staring at their clock begging to go home at 12:30 a.m.
Men do it because they can. I talked with friends who are all older than I am. They choose men their own ages and surprise, surprise the men are seeking women 20 years younger. Why? Because they can. I'll never understand why a woman would refuse to date a guy younger if he shows an interest in her. While I may not marry someone ten years younger, once you're of legal age the number is simply that a number. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 2:40:50 PM | | i certainly dont have a problem with older men dating younger women. If younger women are occupied with older men, that just leaves a whole lot of young goodlooking men for me to date. Win win situation as i see it. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 2:45:20 PM | Its really funny how we define a womans age by the age of the men she goes out with. 18 year old female with 18 year old male she is a woman. But now a 18 year old female with 35 or older male is now a child?
I find this hilarious. So now the 35 year old man is a child molester and the 18 year old man is not?!? People are hung up on age a little too much. | |

Maybe their maturity levels are about at the same levels?
Considering that that could as easily be a compliment to her as an insult to him, I'll agree. Especially knowing that immaturity in the 30's, 40's and older, is not the exclusive purview of males, and that some teenagers can be quite mature... Though inexperienced. I pass on women in their 20's fairly often, because I would feel wrong for going there... But that doesn't mean my way is the way for others. | |

Perhaps that's how some see it, but I would see it as an 18 year old girl dating an 18 year old boy. The only thing I see hilarious about what you wrote is the notion of an 18 year old man or an 18 year old woman. They aren't exactly still children, but they aren't exactly adults.
Not to mention the example the op gave was a 48 year old male with an 18 year old female.
Thirty years age difference is huge. At 52 there is no way I would date a 22 year old or an 82 year old. | |
