Some think they might not have anything in common with them. I wouldn't date someone 10 years younger because of that.

As a guy who has dated women older than me (and for the ones that can do math, I am 27, and I have dated 30, 35, 38, and 45 year olds singles, with boyfriends or husbands, and no that is not only what I date, but I happen to find really awesome women at that age, at that shows I know what the hell I am talking about) I can honestly say that they have been the best relationships I ever had. However, It is really annoying when the woman keeps remind you every single day how old she is and how insecure she feels about u, (because u might find a younger girl). I can honestly say that women should be more open to the idea of dating younger men, we have more life, better in bed, more active, less drama, AND IF WE ARE DATING SOMEONE OLDER THAN US, IT MEANS U ARE REALLY ATTRACTIVE AND WE PROBABLY NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE....

The one thing I love about dating women older than me is when u meet them and they look sad or depressed, or just tired...from their work, or husbands...and when u start dating them.... all the life comes back to them and they GLOW...it is really an amazing thing to see

I find this response interesting....

I have always dated younger guys. The only time I did date someone older it was only by a few months.

I find that with the older guys, they always seemed to be set in their ways, and by that I mean they already know what they like to do with you or in their time off. They all like their Harley's and outdooor water sports, etc...

While I may think you look sexy on your bike, does not mean I want to ride. Boating is fun, but not the ONLY thing there is to do on a nice weekend. I have grown frustrated as I get older and my friends tell me that I should be dating "guys more my own age". I don't find that they like to bend too much. They will give, but as long as it is something that they enjoy. They will pay for the trip to the river and promise you a good time, but if I say "Let's go see this amazing band in Hollywood tonight!", I seem to get the "That's so far away." or "Wouldn't you rather make a whole weekend at the (insert your sport or activity of choice here) instead of just one night in Hollywierd?"

Sorry, but no thank you. I do enjoy outdoor sports and activities, but can't we include some outdoor concerts or roadtrips to see a show?

As an older woman I am not scared dating a young guy unless he is Mr. Jack The Ripper. I only dated older men because we have something in common ,maturity.....

i would only date someone beyond 1 or 2 years that is. Only because of life experience or possibly they not want to be totally committed in a relationship.

I don't think it is a matter of being scared. For me it is a matter of personal choice. I will date guys maybe 4 years younger then myself but I chose not to date anyone in their 20's or early 30's...call me a snob...some younger men have. The way I see it is that guys in their 20's are trying to find their way in life..they're entering college, finishing college, starting a (if not several)careers and thinking about starting a family. Similar to the guys in their early 30's. That is not where I am at in life nor what I want in a partner. We are two totally different developmental age levels and for me that makes a difference.

Younger guys always try to entice me with telling me that the are great lovers because they are younger. I have not had an issue finding guys to satisfy me in my age bracket.
I don't find it a compliment either when a guy refers to me as a MILF. I want someone I can mature in my life with not be their mother or Mrs Robinson(rite of passage).

Nope, not scared....just searching for more then a hot time in bed...call me "old" fashion.

because they probably realise that much younger men will play a while and Poof. Somewhere down the line, the younger guy is going to decide he needs to go find something younger to make babies with

Oh gosh I get asked this alot.
And my feeling on this is it depends on the age of the younger man.
I do not automatically turn down a guy based on age unless he is 20 or younger.
If you aren't old enough to buy me a drink legally .. then I don't see any point in us going out. Kinda like at the amusement parks and they have a guideline for riding the rides. If you aren't tall enough to ride this ride you can't get on..

It's honestly about mentality and maturity. So I will not generalize age at all.
God knows I have dated some seriously immature 30 somethings.
If you are 23 and a know what it's like to be a man and live your life like a man then age doesn't matter to me.
It's weird when I was alot younger I was attracted to older guys and now I am attracted to younger guys physically lol.

The main thing is if you dig me for me not because I am 33 and your Ms. Stiffler fantasy or something like that then it is cool.
I can not stand the term MILF!

First, I'm not "scared" of anything.
Second when you say "younger" how much younger?
I ask because I have a 23 year old son and after dealing with the 18 - 25 year old young men in my family alone it's 80% adolescent agonizing....a.k.a undesirable drama I can live without.

Not scared but I'd be annoyed most of the time with a young man. A young mans mind is nowhere near where mine is (except maybe sex) and that doesn't make for a healthy well balanced relationship for me.

Now if we are talking FWB then I'm game. I actually prefer men a little younger than myself, but not a written in stone.

However,... I will not say I would "never" date a young man, for I am very sure there are some young men out there more *cough* mature than some men my own age.

Ten years up or down it really doesn't matter.



I dated a man for few months before the subject of age came up and it turned out he is quite a few years younger.

So what, we had a great time, he was absolutely charming, I'd do it all over again.

Youger guys have their good points, older guys have their own pluses.
As long as you both have a good time, who cares?

I am definitely not afraid of it! In fact, I'd rather go with someone 5 yrs younger than 5 yrs older. I am younger in body and spirit than most women my age and fit in with them better than older, more tired folks.

However, what I dont want is someone 15 years younger than me since they just aren't mature or experienced in life.

The only real frightening thing for everyone is younger men are not going to be willing to "settle down" so unfortunately most of us will be wasting our time if we want anything out of it. To be successful with a man is all about timing in his life. If you dont have that timing, it doesnt matter how oustanding you are.

Scared? Im not scared. I just find that most men I date are my age or older due to the maturity level. I don't generalize though because I have met many immature older men and a few mature younger men. But I have always stated I do not want to be anyones teacher and I already have 3 sons and don't want a 4th.

Where did you hear that one? Have you not checked the statistics lately? Older women are dating younger men. Maybe it's because older men are dating younger women? Anyway, the point is you have been sadly mistaken.

As long as they are real grown ups, I have no problem with it. I actually prefer it. Men my age seem a little up tight and way too serious.

Ladies! I was told by son that the only reason that his friend will even go out with an older women it's because they are more grateful than younger women, also they try harder. Sorry

I had to laugh when I came across this thread. I've never posted before but had to tell the story of what happened to me two days ago. I am in my 40's and my friend and I were out on the dance floor. This young guy comes up and tries to start a conversation with me. I pretty much tried to be nice but not too nice so that he would not hang around. Anyway, later in the evening the same very attractive guy comes back to the dance floor to try to talk to me again. I looked him in the eye and said why are you hitting on me when there are plenty of women your age? He says to me and I quote, "Because older women know how to f***!" Needless to say I was not interested!!

I date men who are at the same stage of life as me...so my age group...although preferably someone older by a few yrs. I don't date younger guys because from experience, they still like to screw around in relationships or are extremely immature when handling relationships. It also just doesn't feel "right" to me...I know that's harsh but its how I really feel...just like how most women don't date men shorter than them....because they want that feeling of having a protector with them...more masculine. I tend to sway towards men by 5 plus years on me...I feel they have more life experience and in a strange way, are a "protector" to me. I feel like if I dated a younger guy, he is just a baby to me.

This is just me but I am attracted to older men as they usually know how to treat a lady.
I have dated many younger men and they don't open the door for you and if they treat you to dinner, they want sex on the first date as a payment.
I am used to being treated with respect and curtisy by my dad and I look for the same in my partner, the old school kind of kindness and respect.....

I have no problem with guys being younger than me. Now if its like more than 10 years younger, I'd have to at least consider their amount of "life experience" and how it contributes to who they are, their problem solving abilities, ability to reason, etc.

Not scared just feel that it is a selfish act. I date younger men but do not get involved in a serious relationship. I would feel like I was taking something from him that he should experience with someone of same age eg. marriage children first house ......
I have done it and would like for others to enjoy that also........

I agree with Good KITTY on this one.

Do women come right out and give up their ages? I never have and never will. (outside of POF)

I don't look my age and don't act my age (read party AND responsibility)

My kids are grown and gone and now it's all about ME.

My guy is 10 years younger and he can barely keep up.

being an "older woman" I can answer the question this way: it's not that older women are "scared" of dating younger men. Older women prefer to date men that are in their age range or older as a general rule because younger men - about 10 years diff in some cases, haven't lived life enough to have enough things to talk about. We like men that have lived, that are experienced in a lot of different areas and whose topic of conversation extends beyond what kind of beer you like, who you banged last and how much you really dig older women.
