| Whats the feeling on older men and younger women?
Posted: 9/23/2005 9:04:14 AM | I'm 35 years old and the oldest I've dated was 23 years older then me... Personally I prefer older men.. Right now.. I will date a man in his mid 50's 55, 56, 57 58.. but I won't date a man in his 60's.. cause thats just getting way to close to my fathers age.. on the other spectrum however.. I won't date a man younger then me.. at all.. I seem to attract much younger men.. but I think they just want a booty call..
I also find i have more in common with someone older as opposed to someone my age.
OH and might I add.. that none of the men I've dated have been my sugar daddies.. most of the guys i've dated are either on an equal level of income as me.. or.. I make more then them.. thats not what I look for.. I look for guys who are mature.. | |

Posted: 9/23/2005 9:07:34 AM | well its weird
but my sisters all married yound and older men
and they are all still married
Celine Dion
my buddie down the road
is 40
and his wife is 24
and she is the most amazing woman wife friend housekeeper
to him that any man could ask for
and he treats her like she is a real princess
i have dated 19 year olds with children
and I have dated 43 year old woman when i was 28
as far as I am concerned age doesnt matter
knowing what you want being one in mind
heading in the same direction
and being HONEST about things is what it takes | |

Posted: 9/27/2005 11:41:34 PM | I'm open to almost any age personally, but someday I would like to have a child and i'm feeling that someone my age may not work out for that. Do the math and realistically, assuming I actually meet someone, she'll be 40 by that time.
Most women my age have children already and no interest in having any more (understandably so) , makes it tough, makes me have to lean towards younger.
Now having a child is NOT a requirement for me to fulfill my life, but I think about it from time to time. | |

Posted: 9/29/2005 3:08:31 AM | A very interesting topic, I have been on both sides of the fence here. When I was younger, in my 20's, I usually dated older women, they were more experienced, and funner to be around than the girls my own age. (didn't have to show them what to do...lol)
Now, being in my 40's, it is very interesting to me to find that younger women are looking at me as more than just a freind. I have a 20 year old female freind, who has instigated some very intimate encounters, and honestly, I was VERY flattered with the times we spent together. It's just not something I ever planned on having happen though. I would not mind so much if she were old enough to go out for a drink once in a while, but I reckon time will fix that eventually.
Well, I have to agree with some of you, to each his/her own, and whatever makes you happy, you shouldn't walk away from, till it makes you unhappy. Why feel guilty about feeling good? That's just my opinion though. Enjoy. Me. | |

Posted: 10/14/2005 5:24:02 PM | Age, schmage! As much as I like the so-called maturity that supposedly comes with age, I find that too many people grow old while they're getting old. Unfortuantely, I also find that I don't have a lot in common with younger women. So, I feel like I'm caught in the middle - women my age acting too old and younger women wanting Mr. Perfect (who haven't realized at that age that he doesn't exist). So, in the meantime, I date women around my age when I'm in the mood to act my age or go to a movie or dinner and, when I want to have a better time, I get one of my buddies to go out for a beer and bang heads at a heavy metal concert.
No, I am not saying every woman is like this - just most of the ones I have met. And there is nothing wrong with that - just that we never seem to have much in common.
So, to me, age is irrelevant and I wish it was that way for everyone. | |

Posted: 10/14/2005 6:08:00 PM | I too have been on both sides of the fence, when I was in my earlier 20s I dated a woman
10 years older than I was, My ex was 7 years my junior, personally I prefer a younger
woman, say 10 to 15 years younger, I have dated two gals who were 23 and 26 years
younger than I, as well. and as far as me caring about what others think?
well I don't care, becasue the relationship is between me and my lover, and no one else.

Posted: 10/14/2005 7:36:04 PM | | I hope that there are some gals in their 20's that would look upon me favorably. I may be 37 physically, but I am NOT a dirty old man. The way I see it, I base it on the level of experience. I have NO experience with any woman, not even a date with any female my entire life. I am attracted to young women, probably because I never had experiences with "hard" bodies in their 20's or just simply got it out of my system when I was younger. I guess I am just a late bloomer, and I don't want to just "buy" some sex either. Darn morals and values always get in the way. I sure hope that there is somebody out there for me, somewhere, anywhere??? Heck I even thought about going for "the "Russian bride" deal, but I am afraid that most are just a scam or are looking for a passport into the the USA. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 9:05:59 AM | Hmm if you do not realize by now guys, it is a double standard in dating. A guy older than 35 is now called old and boring. Any women under 30 they think it is gross to date a guy older than 30. I even found that out withy a 30 year old i met and I was 34, she said i was too old.
Women are allowed and it is acceptable for them to date men 20 years younger, because it is youth they are looking for. A guy in his 30's dating a woman say 19-20 is considered a pervert. A woman 40 dating a guy 20 is considered acceptable and more women will do this I find in thier 40's, date guys under 30.
Just face the facts guys..the older we get the less desirable women find us. If you are single still in your late 30's, may as well pack it is because none of the women under 30, over 40 are going to give you the time of day. And the women in thier 30's? Unless you got a job that pays like they have or a title like they have, you ain't getting a hi from them....Prestige is the factor there. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 9:44:09 AM | I think age difference will mean different things depending on the age of individuals involved. Anyone male or female in their 30's or above getting involved with someone under 25 is more than likely destined for failure. Your 20s are fraught with change. The person you are at 20 vs 30 can be a monumental change. I have found the attraction from the older partner in such relationships is about control, ego and thirst for warding off their own aging. Hence I think the majority of these type relationships are a sign of insecurity on the older partner. For the younger partner it is predoninantly about money and being taken care of.
Before anyone blasts me this is a common theme but it is not an absolute. Yes there exceptions to everything in life. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 9:49:30 AM | Ahh but it is acceptable more and more for women 30's and 40's to date men in thier 20's more and more. Why are women even 29 not wanting to date a guy who is in his 30's? Sadly because women seem to say they figured out men. So many say all men in thier 30's are set in thier ways and are boring, men in thier 20's are fun and youthful. So why is that acceptable and not if a woman is in her 20's and the guy is in his 30's? So many call that being a pervert.
Like when a teacher is male and has had some sort of sexual contact with a teen he is a pervert, a female teacher does this to a teen boy and it is nothing, ignored and most will say "lucky kid"
And it gets brushed under the carpet. Sadly the double standard continues in genders. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 10:06:10 AM | Society as a whole looks at men as being in a quest for sex. A man with a girl child...he is with her for sex. A man with an ugly women...he must be with her for sex. A man with an older women...he is with her for good sex. Just the way...not necessarily the right way...that society views men.
Women are seen to look for security. A young women with older man...it must be money. A older women with a young man...she must be with him for security (mother complex). A hot women with an ugly man...she must be with him for money. Just the way society views women.
It just has less connotations when you fit your partner in age and looks both for male and female. Is there some truth to the stero types? Is there it more respectful to be with some one for security or sex? What is a legitimate reason to love someone? What does it take for love to last? Just questions to ponder... | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 10:09:36 AM | Age is never the cause of failed relationships. Failure is always due to character traits, incompatibility, mental illness, timing, etc.
I think it's sad that online dating software uses age as the key parameter in matching people. Computers just love numbers, but can't deal with fuzzy concepts like "personality" and "physical attraction". We never select people by age in real life . . . cause we're too busy ogling.
I've seen "young" people 30 that are stodgy, potbellied and old-looking, and people in their 60s that feel like teenagers, I think there's more to people that their chronological age.
I recently dated a woman 17 years younger and age was never an issue. My sweet spot is women in their mid-30s, it just works for me. I'm finally ready to commit and have children, and women in their 30s are going TIC-TIC-TIC, panicking and keep dreaming of guys like me but can't find them.

Posted: 2/20/2006 10:33:26 AM | Man I wish i could say women are dreaming of guys like me...if that was the truth I would not be single LOL.
Seems dating has become more complex and most of us seem to be a sucker for punishment | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 11:08:08 AM | I am marrying a girl 17 years younger than me. I do not like that gap at all, really, but we just instantly clicked.
I met her when she was 22, and while she was *very* mature for her age, she had not experienced much, so I got to do a *lot* of firsts for her. For instance she was hating her job early on, so I sent her flowers. I find out no one had ever done that for her, which as a guy is "WOOHOO COOL" territory.
In the last three years she has just blossomed into a full fledged woman. It is really amazing to see her now and remember back then.
I worry about the end game part, but day-to-day, she is simply a pleasure to be around. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 11:19:08 AM | | ^^A rarity i say...I had a few young hotties as we will call them, that work with me, like me about a couple of years ago. I was labelled a pig for that when in fact it was them who had the crushes on me...sadly it is not acceptable for men to be in that position as other women think you are low. | |
