Ladies who only date younger men
Posted: 4/25/2006 11:33:40 AM
I changed the age range on my profile after I saw "Ivana Young Man". Ivana Trump was on there with her boy toy and a 40 year old who ended up with a 27 year old. Ivana said she'd rather be a babysitter than a nurse.
These women are financially independent so it gives them the option of getting a younger man and monopolizing his time.
I don't think it would matter to me how old a guy is, it's more about how mature he is and some guys (RARE, I admit) are actually mature at a young age.

i find myself more attracted to younger men, my social circle tends to be a mostly younger crowd, and i get interest from men in their 20s far more often than men in their 30s. before assumptions are made, younger men don't simply appeal because they're prettier or more exciting...it's an attitude thing, fewer hang-ups, more open-minded, outgoing. by the time guys reach their mid thirties a lot of them carry around a lot of emotional baggage, and it's exhausting to try to "fix" someone. i've been attracted to a full range of ages from 20-ish to early 40s, it all depends on attitude...it just seems that i tend to click more with the younger end of that range more often.

I don't think it's anyone's business but the people involved. I think it's ugly to be that concerned with other people's business.... Everyone has their own life. Why should they have to worry about others interfering?

I enjoy dating women over thrity for many reasons. One is I find them more attractive. I am not really into some of the skanky fashion that girls my age and younger are wearing. Another reson is because I find older women more intellectual, and they can have a decent conversation about many broad things. All girls my age want to **** about is politics. Life is to short just to worry about a single aspect of the broad spectrum. Also many women in their 30's tend to develop a certain confidence level in themselves which I find very attractive. Not to say that girls my age don't have that, but I tend not to see it as much in my age range. They are also more committed many times as well.

I found that women over 30 tend to appreaciate younger guys like myself a heck of a lot more than younger women..they seem to have too much to prove,or chasin a rich guy for some fictious dreams..It is just refreshing to meet an older women who appreaciates you for you and not the material things to offer...thats whut I'm sayin..

i agree with this i knwo i am going to be bashed for my opinion but here it goes. i think the woman that do this are simply avoiding the fact that there getting old. i mean its better to be seen with an immature boy toy on your arm then a man that is at the point in his life were hes ready to have a family.


1. I am not worried about getting older as there is only one other choice.
2. I have dated(am dating someone 12 years younger) but have never made a special effort to date younger men. I would not rule someone out because of their age.
3. Women are just starting to do what men have been doing since human kind started. Men don't seem to have a problem dating women young enough to their grand daughter. I have seen men on here my age (49) and even older stating they are looking for someone as young as 18.
4. What exactly is a boy toy, and can I buy one at Toys R Us?

^^ but get real now 49 to 18, you wouldn't!??!?

10 years difference is ok I guesse (depends the age group), but 20 years difference and up is an issue and there is evidece to support that.

I will say these threads make me NOT want to bother dating period at my age. Seems to be a lost and worthless chance to take now with the fun being go for the young guys and forget the older men.
is like anything, it will change in a decade or two.

I never have really been one to pigeonhole myself to one stereotype in anything in life...As the immortal Bruce Lee and someone else I know once said ."It is better to be like water, for water flows and takes the shape of whatever it fills" OK was that deep enough, my point being why limit yourself to one preconceived notion of who you should date based on age! The odds and reality of it become less likely with more than a 10 to 15 year age difference but hey you never know unless you try.

I agree....that older men are boring and judgmental, not to mention. I'v lived completely in reality and I have dated one younger guy 31, who was more mature than some older men. Who was proud to walk by my side and share many of the same interest. I dated him for one year, I have NO REGRETS...

But there is a realiy of a 19 year differance for long term. So I ended it. I would still date younger, but not as young. My state of feeling,thinking and my heart is young. Enjoy it while you can.

I figure seen as i have been single most of my 30's now, I will be for good. As I enter my 40's in 3 years, more women will never give me, let alone other guys in thier 40's, a chance because of thier past experiences with men this age. Is a stereotype and some truth. I will gladly do my travelling and fun on my own solo, as it seems that nowadays it is more trying to "prove" to these women that not ALL of us are boring..but so far in a short time of 3 months, it has been impossible to ever take the blinders off these women.
I may just enjoy the ego trips from the attention these young women give me until my looks age more. Although believe it or not, they like my personality and sense of humour as my looks are just average. Unless of course I won some big money then I would be happy and get anyone I want...hehe

You have said it best forumguy!

why limit yourself to one preconceived notion of who you should date based on age!

It doesn't matter if the age difference is 3 months or 10 yrs

hey you never know unless you try.


and RW...you still have blinders on buddy! There is no need to pity-party over the fact that SOME women prefer to date only younger. I know plenty of women that prefer to date only OLDER. I also know plenty who don't care what age a man is...because they prefer to date the MAN not his age.

hey sorry MA but I have tried. I have chatted to many women my age and older and been told many times that they just do not find men in thier late 30's and older worth it...and from what I have seen ther are not as many women who do date in thier age as much now..and it is not a bad thing..so no pity party here. Just telling it like i read it on these forums.
And if there are alot of women that are younger that date older, I sure do not know where they are. I am sure that there are women in thier 30's and older who date within thier age, and some younger ones who date older, but all them seem to be hard to find is all...
ANyhow enough of this thread, as i said before LOL..man I am a sucker for punishment I think..haha...
Oh and yes they are preferences and prefeences cannot be changed by anyone but that person..so when I chat to women and they say I prefer men younger sorry, I can't be changing thier mind now can I?
Nothing is wrong with a preference, just means that many guys lose out from the get go does it not?

My point RW is that those who "only date....." are also missing out. They are limiting themselves. The online dating community is not the only dating community... off topic here but my advice to you is step back and look at all the positive things you have to offer a woman...not all the negative things about others that have a different preferance...do you see where I'm coming from.
All hope is not lost just because a few threads are about older women wanting younger men.
I have seen threads on older men wanting younger women too...there is always balance and everyone needs to go after what makes them happy...
These women who date younger men find positive things about the younger men they date...sometimes there is "substance" and sometimes it's just "sport". Why take what is positive to THEM and try to make it a negative for everyone not like them? In the end...you'll only limit yourself...

Well I never did say I limit myself, many women limit themselves on who they will date and that is also understandable. But to be rejected because of age...that kind of hurts more than being rejected for your looks...as with age comes stereotyping that many will believe.
The positive is, young guys make women feel good...the negative is, us old guys lose out...or should we be smiling and say right on?
And the threads of older me/younger women, barely any women younger say they like older men..compared to older women saying they prefer younger men.
But as I said I am not against it, just wish we guys would not be labelled badly for going for younger..but we always do and it is by?? Older women.

for RabidWolverine and any other men in the 35+ crowd who are bitter about women their age being attracted to younger men...

attractiveness is based on attitude. confidence is sexy, if you feel defeated and unappealing because of some perceived imperfection (age, weight, whatever) you won't draw positive attention to yourself.

not every woman over 30 is purrrrring in the ear of some young 20-something boy. plenty of men i know in their mid thirties and older are doing just fine in the dating pool...because they are personable, charming, and confident in who they are...they have nothing to prove, and they aren't limited by personal self-doubt.

trying to convince women who have a preference for younger men that they should change their tastes is a waste of effort...we all have preferences, accept that. it's a good thing not all women are attracted to the same type ; )

My Dad was 37 when he married my Mom at 19....they lasted 31 years till death did they part...
My ex is 24 and I'm 36...maybe it's genetic...
But I have to agree with the first response to this thread....some older women just want to see if they can bang a younger guy, almost to make them feel like they still can like they did in the "hay days"
Also, getting out of a long relationship can provoke a person into almost anybody's arms if the right spark is there....
I must admit that having a younger woman pursue me is an incredible confidence boost....so, hey, if the older ladies are getting pleasured by younger guys, all the power to you ladies....
But be careful.....we all know whats on the mind of a 20 yr old.....man or woman....

I used to date only younger guys, lets face it they are cute and hot. Older men are more appealing to me as I have found they are more mature and their sexual experience is a real turn on. They just know what to do.

I must admit that i did not read all the posts here so i apoligize in advance


I am 32 and to be honest I have always been atracted to younger men or should I say rather to younger looking men. for the last five years now i have been seeing someone on and off that is 6 years younger then I am. though I did have a bf that was 7 years older then me. I think it is more of a personallity issue for me.

Younger guys are into the things that i like doing. going to the places that i like going. so why would i date someone my age or older if they are not into the same things that i am? Just cause i am older does not mean that i have to now stay in the "age range" that is acceptable.

I know most guys are into older woman for whatever the reason it is good for us older woman that are into younger guys

^^Oh i am guessing a bunch of women will tell you that you are wrong LOL...
hey Crazycurlz, I have only recently been rejected for my age by women my age and older...it used to be women under 30 said I was too old, women over 40 said I was too young..and most in thier 30's would usually say that I was just not good enough based on my job...and tons have said I lacked physical attraction...so all it is, is that the women I have chatted to recently and met have said the "I prefer men under 30 sorry"
Is all...is just a run of meeting and talking to the wrong ones for the time being...

Not all older men are expierenced. If they have been married, and in a crap relationship, chances are they aren't getting any. I have learned everything I know from college, and beyond. I guess I did learn something in school. Plus us young bucks don't need to pop a blue pill yet. Not to say we won't someday, but now we are in our prime. My male friends in their 30's are mostly divorced, and have a tendancy to find younger women attractive. For some reason I am the opposite. I don't know.

I agree, and also good to note or remember that there is a clear difference between "preferance" and "requirment"

For example , if someone says "Well , he MUST be this and that, or she MUST be this and that" (especially if it's soemthing trivial and silly to judge someone over) than that looks like a requirement and that is a big turnoff and those people won't be satisfied in their relationships and sex life.
