Why are older women scared about dating younger men?
Posted: 9/26/2007 7:40:48 PM
Since my separation began (divorce should be final next month) I have found that the age range of men that ask me out is between 25 and 33. Until recently it bothered me but i refuse to let it now. If someone asks me out and i find them interesting i go out with them regardless of age. I have discovered it isn't about the age as it is more about where we are in life and what we want for the future.

I might have mentioned some of these things in a previous post, but it is worth repeating. A segment of older women will think that all younger men are looking for sex. I'm 29. I would date a woman in her 30s or maybe early 40s. I'm sure that there are other men around my age that feel the same way. I have seen some attractive women between the ages of 45-55. I would have a casual sexual relationship with them, but probably not a serious long term relationship. It's not because I think women in this age group are easy or desperate. Most likely a long term relationship wouldn't work out because of the large age difference although there could be a few exceptions to the general rule. I think there would be nothing wrong with a casual sexual relationship if both people clearly understand the situation.

There are another segment of older women who date and prefer younger men. Last year I was on another dating website for a few months. I received several emails from women who were between the ages of 35-45. I turned down these women because of reasons that had nothing to do with age. Lack of common interests, not my physical type, distance etc.

Why are older women scared about dating younger men?


OP, did a whole herd of older women tell you they were scared to date younger men?
i dont want to offend, but where did you get that idea?

i adore younger men. i would marry one in an instant if he wanted to marry me and spend the rest of life together with me. if i could find an older man who kept himself in shape and who was young at heart, i would be happy with him too. just never met one of those. LOL! as far as snagging a younger man to keep though, i havent had any luck as the ones i've found so far all had too much baggage to be "keeper material."
good luck to you in finding an older lady...if that is what youre after!

Older women usually know what they like and want. I don't think they are afraid, I think they are smart enough to know what the outcome is before it happens. If they are just looking for hot sex that lasts all night they can probably find it with a younger man. In my experience hot sex isn't enough when you know what you want out of life.

I'm not scared..just don't want to date someone closer to my daughter's age than my own. Same goes for older..if you are too close to my father's age, it's a no go. Just creepy

Because babysitting is such a terrifying prospect - we're terrified that you're just too immature, unable to carry on a conversation and will eventually bore us to death. What's most terrifying is that YOUR PARENTS won't come come and relieve us of the horrors.

i dont know if anyone else has said this but i think some older women are afraid to step out of their comfort zone of dating a guy their age or older. a lot of women over 30 and 40 dont think a younger man can take care of them like an older guy. i think alot has to do with women being told and shown that only older guys can financially and emotionally support a woman. i dont think that is true at all

I've dated men anywhere from 11 years younger to 14 years older than me. To me, age is just a number. It also depends on their maturity level and what they have to offer. I look young for my age, so men have always thought I'm 6-9 years younger than my age. So that's probably why I mostly attract younger men. And I do like dating younger men.

My aunt is about 7-8 years older than my uncle. My voice instructor was 11 years older than her husband. Yay!

Some of these posts are hilarious. Too bad many of these haughty women are but novices when it comes to reason and logic.

Here is what my 22 year old son told me.

Take your age and divide it in half then add 7 years.....thats the youngest you should date.

Hmmm.....From my Son

Some women aren't scared of dating younger men.

Some women judge the man, not the age.

I like young men; I like men my age; I like older men.

I married a younger man-for15 yrs. I search in 33-40-as they give the most compliments and highest ratings and appreciate older women.

Well, after being in a relationship with someone who is 18 yrs. older than myself, the prospect of "dating" or having an ongoing friendship with someone younger, does not scare me in the least. I just feel at this point in my life, it's my turn. The only thing with me is how far to go with the age gap? I feel pretty comfortable in a 10 yr. gap, more than that just feels a wee bit strange and I would start feeling like a cradle snatcher. I did date someone who was 28 and would not go on another one, just too many differences in our thinking processes, lifestyles, etc.

i'm not scared to date younger men...in fact most men i go out with are younger than me. my last long term bf was 7 1/2 years younger and we were commonlaw for 2 years. i'm currently 34 and during the past year the ages of men i've gone on dates with has ranged from 19 to 35. if you want to use the 1/2 your age + 7 rule, that would make my ideal man 24. kind of ironic as during the first half of this past year that was exactly the age group from whom i was getting the most attention. that being said, i tend to aim for guys closer to 30 these days. so, the problem isn't that i'm scared of younger men, but rather that much younger men primarily are looking for booty calls and i'm in the market for a relationship. now if a much younger guy was the serious minded sort, i'd reconsider dating a man at the lower end of 20-something.

They feel they will not come up to standard for a younger man.

Sex with a younger woman is much better (wetter).

For me wrinkles are a turn off no matter how much slap is covering them !

My last husband and the previous long term relationship before , were with men younger than I was....I'm not afraid of younger men, because I am an active woman with a lot of energy,physically younger than my age, and my interests seemed to just draw younger men. I guess the concern is how young is too young...I agree with MsMoon, if the gap is too great there is too much of a difference in life experiences and thinking/thought processes.

Hey, dimwit, no one asked for YOUR reason why you don't like older women--the question was for the women.

You are a perfect example, however, of why some older women don't date younger men; they think they are all like you.

And how many "OLD" women have you had sex with?
