All these younger men...Page 2 of 15    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
Since I am older and taking care of myself. What needs do I have. Most men my age don't want to be bothered with kids. I choose to judge each man on his own. They like older women because they are tired of the younger ones and the younger ones are going for older guys. I had a younger bf and we had an awesome time sadly he had some character issues and had to go.

I think if a guy has their act together, is respectful, honest, and fun, why not.

I know what you mean. i am 48 and when the younger guys want to communicate I feel like a pervert. I prefer someone close to my age. It's true also that the majority of men around my age appear to have a case of 'arrested development'. Being single is frustrating, but if this is the alternative I prefer to be alone. wish me luck in finding a decent guy. Luck to all who need it! Peace, Joy

Once again I must reply, I am getting tired of the plethora of men who immediately want to jump in the sack. it's disgusting. The overwhelming majority of responses I get are dudes who want to do the nasty on the first meeting, hell they don't waste time in showing their true nature. There is a world of sluts out there, and they are men. I get really pissed when a man goes around telling his buddies of his conquests, as they high-five him they are cutting the female down he did it with. My question is if the chicks are sluts, what does that make you????????????? Hypocrits- that's what- ahole!!!!!

I don't know where you are meeting these "dudes" but this has not been my experience at all. I have had a ton of dates from this dating site and other and I've never had an experience like this, they have all been polite and respectful. So whether some of you give off a vibe or your picking skills are crappy or it's the luck of the draw - I don't know. It just seems strange to me.

Other than a few times in High School, I never heard any guy brag about his "conquests". In truth, women are much more likely to get into detail about the guys they sleep with . . including how large he is, than guys ever discuss among themselves.

At any rate, with your attitude, I can't say I am surprised that you have not been very successful.

Yes all the time, online, when Im out and about..
The other day my son who is 23 wanted a beer and he left his wallet at his Uncles house
So I went to go get it for him, and the clerk at the cashier was talking to some young guy, the guy looks at what Im buying and says I want a beer and I tell him its for my son..both the clerk and the guy both say how old is your son? I say he is 23 he just left his wallet somewhere so he wasnt able to get the beer himself. They both said 23? They guy tells me damn I was trying to make a move on you. I say I know...and your way too young...the clerk just laughed as I walked out.

Some day we are going to get a thread that's titled " I'm a middle aged woman and I'm NOT getting hit on by younger men on POF.

Now that one might be interesting.

Funny how you don't see any threads of men complaining about being hit on by younger women. Maybe I'll start one. I guess it has to happen first.

OP, Cougar, and Mommy issues may be the main reason, but then again who knows the answer when it comes to the opposite sex, right?

I am 56, and get all kinds of emails from the 30 plus year old guys. I think alot of them look at the pictures, but don't read the profiles.

Ladies always accept as long as they bring their mother for your son. I promise you they arent near as interested. If he says your son wont like her say all he wants to do is do her doggie style and let it loose on her face. Lol they are insult by the idea. And call me childish lol. One of the double standards cool uto do someone's mom but the idea of someone doing that to their mom is distasteful. Taste of their own med. Good for their little disrespectful butts.

I guess I am in the minority here. Since my divorce I've had several relationships with women ten to fifteen years older than me. They were good relationships all around.

There are a few myths that need to be dispelled.

1) Mommy issues -- the women I date are nothing like my own mother and are closer to my own age than my parents. They aren't old enough to be my mother unless mom started having kids at the age of 13. They are old enough to have been the babysitter or the high school English teacher I had a crush on.

2) The Cougar -- This is Hollywood generated hype and is nothing like the typical age gap relationship. The "randy" cougar and Mrs. Robinson are fantasies. The reality is that the younger man is the one who pursues the woman. He makes the date and picks up the tab. The dates are no different than those couples of the same age have. Either there is chemistry or there isn't. A ten or fifteen year age gap will not make up for the lack of chemistry. You may be fifteen years younger but if the woman ain't feeling it you won't be getting more than a friendly peck on the cheek at the end of the night.

3) The Sugar Mommy -- Ah, yes. The myth of the wealthy widow or divorcee who spends lavishly on her much younger lover. The reality is that most couples are of the same socio-economic and educational background. This is true of older women who are in relationships with younger men. The wealthy widow is more likely to be involved with a younger guy with a trust fund whom she met at the country club than with the pool boy. The pool boy is more likely to be in a relationship with the waitress than one of the club members. A fifteen year age gap does not change this reality. In a high percentage of age gap relationships the couple meets at work.

4) The sexually experienced older woman -- Most twenty something guys fall for this myth. Reality? A recently divorced 45 year old who married her high school sweetheart may have far less experience than the thirty year old guy asking her out. She may have only been with one man while the guy spent his twenties "sowing his wild oats " so to speak. Age does not necessarily equate with sexual experience.

There is a reason why women on dating sites are hit on by younger guys. It is a whole lot less awkward to try and gauge a woman's interest by sending a message than it is by hitting on a woman fifteen years older in a grocery store. My experience on this site is that one out of three women are interested in dating a guy who is a decade or more younger.

Hello Houston!

Yes I get hit on all the time by guys who are sometimes as young as 20 years old. Some of these guys get very aggressive and angry when I tell them that I prefer men who are 50+. I am 57 now and I don't want to deal with these young pups. It is disrespectful to me for someone to disregard the terms I have set in my profile regarding what age I will accept. I am always nice when I tell them no. However, I dislike terms such as "Cougar" which is demeaning and the term comes from Pornography, also suggesting that older women are predatory. That is the last thing on my mind.

Two thoughts come to mind upon taking a look at your profile. With all due respect. . .

You've posted some exquisite photos of yourself on your profile, a few of which are over 30 years old. They're stunning photos of a gorgeous woman tastefully attired artistically in her 20's, and she's not wearing a bourka from head to toe . . Might this not be sending a message (perhaps subliminal) to 20 something young men -- if not some encouragement?

And I echo the thoughts of everyone else who like me simply has added an age filter.

I have a theory about this topic......baby boomers out number the next generation........ men want to date younger women.....not enough youner women to meet the demands of men in all age groups. 20-50 year old men competing for 20-30 year old women. I think us "aged to perfection" ladies should just enjoy the attention. Plenty of age appropriate men send INappropriate messages too.

I get this ALL THE TIME, and I hate it. the truth is, these younger men are just looking for a "sexual experience," and they think we are all Mrs. Robinson or something. I hate it. I prefer men in their 50s. I do not date younger men, and I get annoyed when they contact me all the time. ugh!

houston_smart_lady, I took a look at your profile, both pictures and text. You are very attractive, look youthful, and your range of interests indicates you "think young" too -- in other words, younger men may feel they can identify with you. As for why they outnumber men your age and older, I can't explain.

Right now, "cougars" are popular with a lot of younger men. Some probably see you as more experienced sexually and possibly easily flattered into going to bed with someone younger. They know it's less likely that you will become pregnant, and probably assume that not only are you in better financial condition than younger women but probably won't want a serious long-term relationship with a younger man. Put all this together, and you are a very desirable woman for a fun short-term relationship. Sounds like a perfect cougar to me, assuming you WANT to be a cougar.

If it really bothers you, you can always set your mail preferences to exclude initial contacts from men below a certain age. But then you may never know just how sexually attractive younger men find you; you'll have to rely on on us Olde Phartes to properly boost your ego. :)

Edited to add: Young guys also sometimes find "older" women more desirable because of that indefinable something called "class". Very understandable, considering how un-classy many young women are.

Some are women it takes two to tango you know - unless you are talking about male homosexuals here. Yes you could labled them as sluts if you want to use that term - but at least they are honest sluts who are not trying to decieve you and waste your time.


Funny how you don't see any threads of men complaining about being hit on by younger women. Maybe I'll start one. I guess it has to happen first.


Yep - been here two and a half years on and off and it hasn't happed to me yet either. I wonder how all the women who complain about getting hit on by young men would feel if younger men never showed any interest in them.

LOL--and THERE it is !! ;) just the way of online shenanigans. I found that after coming home from work and winding down after an 11:30pm shift, WHEN my profile was visible...my picture would pop up as "online now" and, holy moly...the little fellas were very actively seeking out fantasies of one kind or another. LOL...I even put a tagline on the bottom of my profile letting them know I don't romance the boys. Do they read that stuff?- well, heck no--LOL. If they become persistent, I tease them that my sons would beat them up :).

I do not limit contact from anyone on my profile beCAUSE I enjoy cyber buddies from all walks of life, all ages and enjoy gabbing about a bazillion topics. Farmers, politics, spiritual talk, men and women,you name it---and I'm confident in my own abilities to filter BS. Often hide my profile, as it is now(except the forums), and --yes--when it is "unhidden" initially there are alot more contacts....just the way of things online here. It's also not an "attention trick"....just life happening in other areas or needing a break from the dating stuff.

Funny, the stories we can be tempted to tell ourselves about such things. :) The reality is that this place is a worldwide network connected to all kinds of people doing all kinds of "stuff" with fantasy AND life. :) Enjoy it for what it is. Me--??--I usually see the humor.

Aaaw....Wonder don't look so sad---lol. YOU have age restrictions....and probably not on later at night. LOL. I think I even tried to message you awhile back about your skydiving and couldn't get through :)....I think I would've had to have been a man at the time to get through. :)

oops, well, it looks like you did change your restrictions....lol....you're not wanting tips on how to encourage that stuff, though, I'm pretty sure :)
