Well, after looking at your profile and seeing that you are only 21 and searching the net for sex, this should answer your question:

Young men don't know what a real relationship is and only want one thing! Most older women have been there done that for so long it seems a waste of time to invest in a young man, I am personally looking for a grown up, and I'm only 30.

Just my opinion, take it as you will.

Is that really so, omg! I see them in there 30s and 40s+ & they do not know what a "real relationship is", actually that would make a good thread!

Hahaha...younger men are a blast and they dont need naps mid day! LOL!! Its likely more of an 'apprehention' than a fear, or an insecurity of not feeling sexy enough for a younger man to keep him intrested..I dont suffer from these symptoms personally and I dont mind dating a younger guy see were it leads...but he better be able to teach me a thing or two if he plans on dating me! I aint into babysitting! LOL!!
cheers...........

Scared??? HA! I am fearless! LOL Seriously though I am not interested in a younger man 'cause I don't have the time or patience to sit there while he reads the manual (insert part B into slot A). It is a life experience and maturity thing that anyone under 30 is just not going to have. It has nothing to do with insecurities or not feeling sexy enough. That is ridiculous. I have more confidence and feel a heck of a lot sexier in my 40's than I ever have. I have had many a youngin hit on my profile as well as in person. Just not interested thanks......

Haha.

That's pretty funny considering there seems to be only two extremes here. Ones younger wanting older, and the older ones wanting younger.

Hey, when I saw this: {they dont need naps mid day! } I 'm reminded of why I don't want any guy that much younger. At my age I prefer the midday nap.. Having someone to curl up next to and relax with after a draining day is appealing to me. I would only want to consider within 5 years either way. The fact that I have been approached bluntly for ONLY physical interest to share (to be subtle about it) by a NOTICEABLY younger man when I have crossed paths with one, I don't want that. I don't feel like having to teach any boy any thing in that and I don't want to feel used by any man of any age for this. They can "start without me" when that is their only interest to know me to begin with I feel. Within 5 years either way I feel I have a much better chance of finding some common interest and comfort level that will last beyond any bedroom.

I wouldn't say I'm afraid to date a younger man, it all depends on how much younger. To me 5 or even as much as 10 years would not be a big deal, but I'm not interested in dating someone young enough to be my son.....

Almost all of the men I've dated have been younger than me. You have to draw a line somewhere though. Currently, I won't date anyone younger than 30.

Well, I guess it's all relative. I chuckle as I read some of these posts, because, at my age (71) some of the "problems" no longer exist. I've found that most men 50 and older, have probably "matured" all they're going to. Ones who have never married tell me about some very long term, live-in relationships which might equal some marriages.

I don't have a long list of "age" requirements, it doesn't take long to find out if there is compatability.

Just an "older" lady's point of view.

I have been a little bit timid about dating younger men. One reason is, looking at the long term picture, I can't have and don't want any more children. Another reason is I guess I care too much about what other people think. I have met some younger guys who are very mature. But I am with whomever said if I could have had them after I turned 18, then they are off limits. Now my daughters don't like to date younger guys because they are immature. Also, they won't date any one under 18. My 20 year old dates considerably older guys-late 20s to early 30s. She is incredibly mature though. But I have dated fellows in their 30's and enjoyed them very much. A lot of people guess my age in the low 40's to upper 30's so I guess I could get away with it if no one knows how old we are. I am trying to relax on the age thing. Because if the chemistry and connection is there, why let it go by because of age?

GoodKittyGoneBad." I think my biggest worry would be them falling in love and my breaking their hearts."

I find it is the older fellows who fall in love and get hurt. I have a top dating line of only two or three years older because of that. They don't listen.

they think we are all MILF hunting to get a cougar for our stables...

I prefer older women because they have been through the BS and know what they want
they also appreciate a nice sweet guy
they also know how to take care of a man

I say let them all deal with the jerks so they appreciate a gentleman

Hey!! Age is just a number, its how you look and feel. I would date younger guy if they look older than me inspite of their age, there's some guys that matures early and had hardship in life. As long as I dont look like their mother I am ok to go out with younger guys.

Not that I am scared. It just seems like a bit of an imbalance. I have pushed away quite a few younger guys from this site already. But it is a fact that chemistry rules. So there is one that I had some struggle within myself.
I'm not sure why but 10 years ago I only dated younger and now at my age it really feels uneasy to entertain the thought of it.

Because I'm not trying to raise "BOYS II MEN"!
I am NOT a record lable!


Just joking folks!

But seriouslly....
In my experience, I've never met a younger man who shares any of the same interest as myself. I do meet younger men who are attracted to me on campus, but that does'nt make us compatible...just because there is physical attraction. I want "overall compatibility"....not just a roll in the hay.
Besides, I am attracted to salt and pepper hair. (sexy!)
Hard to find that on a young guy. (although I have seen it a few times)
AND there's just something about the wisdom and experience older men bring to the table that is so alluring!

SO...

I suppose if I ever do meet a younger man , and I'm still single, and we're mutually attracted, AND WE HAVE THINGS IN COMMON....I would'nt hold his numerical postion against him. (As long as he's legal)
But, I doubt it will ever happen.....as it hasn't thus far!

Lucilou,
That's exactly the reason I'm after the "youngin" that I want! He's so much more mature than other guys his age and even older! Maybe it was the way he was raised, who knows, but intellectually we're a perfect match!

I like younger men but I'm wary about dating them too. Since some only want an older woman for the sex. If Icould meet somebody that wanted to get to know a woman and not be grabby and expecting sex. And exactly knew about to treat a woman with respect I'd be a happy woman!

I'm going to be honest....yes I'm scared of dating younger man. I fear that they won't have the same goals, etc. as me. I mean there are saying that older man are more mature and will only get more mature as they get older. I don't know, I guess I also feel that woman suppose to be younger then the guy....I guess I have to thank social for that. But I do have fact, example my brother relationship with an older woman, of younger man/older woman relationship lasting.
