Definitely an individual preference. I too, find that generally younger men are more compatible with my interests and since I have never had kids, I would rather not have kids in the equation. Guys my age and older just seem ancient to me.

I am not even kidding when I say this, I don't even know what this whole WII thing is!? Is it a game machine of some sort? And no... it's not the blond hair. I just thing some technology is evil and I am clueless when it comes to anything other than my Ipod and cell phone. lol


And your thinking... Dern, I shaved my legs for this? LOLOL


Too funny zowwie

So, what exactly is the draw of older men for younger women?


It's called alot of money.
If you don't have it, you're ugly.
If you do. You're hot.

Simple.

Anyone calling me on BS, should ask themselves this. How many Wal-mart greeters have you seen with a young bombshell GF lately?

Thought the thread on this issue - varied and quite amusing......

Since i was born the year they built the Berlin Wall - feel i can make a valid comment.

I look in the mirror every mornings an this old geezer with grey hair and wrinkly skin is lookin back at me... Good God it is me

Strange then - when u don't see your reflection, an carry on with the usually mundane things in life - my mental or Psychological age is abt 29 Yrs old - why that is so - i dont know, could'nt even fathom a guess.

I am fitter and more healthy now than when i was in me twenties - wiser, witty and most definitley more chilled out.

I make a lot of effort to look after meself since i no longer have the attritubutes ( in my mind) of attracting younger women. Golly - i is even into groomin meself,most days.

But the big thing is abt positive mental attitude and when u aint lookin - it amazing how u will be found. I could tell u all abt me mid-life crisis, an if it were fortold by another even i would'nt believe it - but it actually happened to me - but thats too deep for this thread - but it released a million endophines into me body and keepin the smile on this old face.

Takin all things into consideration, with the equinox fast approachin and Mars currently alligned with Venus -Quite frankly dear - I dont give a damn - weather the younger models find me attract or not.

I certainly hope so because I am not going to be with one who already lived her life of marriage and kids. I've been patiently waiting, with great periods of celibacy for a non-worldly woman to present herself in this capitalistic, spoiled muck.

If you are really looking at the insides, than age/attractiveness doesn't mean much. Men in their early 20's can be idiots sometimes.

I and several other friends dated 10+ year older men in college and early/mid 20's. In one case it worked, and they dated for 8 years and then have been married for 6.

I think the most usual pitfall is that if people of different ages are at compatible places in their lives, they are probably growing at different rates.

I also dated a guy who was 44 when I was 25. This wasn't a sugar daddy thing - I made more money than he did. While I was thin/fit, he would have probably beat most men my age. He'd spent his 20's and 30's travelling extensively, working in national parks, and teaching English in Japan. However, he was settling down from that phase of his life. I was attracted to him because of that, but hadn't gotten it out of my system. It wasn't a matter of me wanting to go out to clubs and parties at night, but getting disappointed when we had planned to go hiking, and he wanted to stay in and read the Sunday paper.

Now in my early 30's, I'm thinking that guys my own age, or maybe even a few years younger, are tolerable again. I can find older men attractive on some level (and not just because of their income). However, I'm getting the impression that they are either a) looking for women their own age they feel they can relate to, or b) if they are looking at younger women, they are looking for eye candy, just like the young guys.

I had sometimes complained that the older guys, mainly ones who had been single most of their adulthood, were set in their ways and couldn't adapt to someone else being part of their lives. Now I'm wondering if that will be true for me.

Now see, this is a problem. There are gold diggers all around and I have a problem with that. But it brings up another issue for me (40). I recently changed careers, I get a huge sense of satisfaction from my new job as a journalist, but I don't make much money. 20 year olds don't seem to care all that much and are impressed by the stories from work. But hanging out with a woman my age who makes twice as much money as I do is kind of intimidating. So while I'm not rich and powerful at least I get to put the rich and powerful in the uncomfortable position of answering questions. I digress, the point is how do I deal with the money gap or do I date in my same socio economic demographic with the age gap.

I have always preferred older men-- at my age, 42 I gravitate towards men between the ages of 38-51. Of course Ive dated off and on a man 17 years older than myself-- he's still attractive-- very active and a an awesome dresser ... works out and if I can hold up that great at his age I will feel accomplished!

There's an old saying that holds true today: "Life begins at 40".

Hello? Knock knock! I love older men! I am not picky...it is all about the man! Not his age or his height or his occupation! How do I feel when I am with him...that is what counts...

I generally have dated women 10-15 years younger that me, and agree with the many of the posters in the first posts on this topic. I don't think an age gap is as important to most women as health, maturity, personality, chemistry etc. etc.

I've dated women as much as 20 years younger, as well as a few closer to my age.

I really don't consider age a determining factor in whether or not I choose to date her. It's about maturity, attitude and general outlook on life. If you're a knockout but have a bad 'tude, thanks, but I'll pass. If you're "average" looking but have a great attitude, then you have my attention. Age is just a number...as long as that number is over 21, it's all good.

I'm approaching 40 and I do find younger women attractive per se. But the lack of maturity and the fact most still want to party is a turn-off. And at their age, I really can't hold it against them because I was the same. Now if a 25 year old comes my way and she has her head screwed on straight, don't think for a minute I won't try to get to know her.

I have dated older men and find them to be very attractive. They also are a lot more mature, stable, and considerate in all aspects of the relationship. I have always made my own money and had my own place. Most of the men my age were still too childish, selfish about their needs, and living with their parents.

I've been having a look into speed dating and most of the evenings seem to go with the older guy/younger lady differential Not by much, maybe 3-4 years diference at the top end, but enough to stop me being able to go with my single femal friend who is 41 whilst I am 38.

So is a small age difference seen as the norm?

I am from vic, i was sitting around the table with four male buddy's and listening to them talk oh it was boring!, talking and listening to women is so much more interesting older women with life exp are just so riviting, younger women no offense intended (under 25) = to me the same as watching paint dry on a wall.

Funny subject to me, a woman over 40 would suggest not many men over 40 are attractive. Might be why woman over 40 are single or divorced. Looking for the young hotty is great for their ego but obviously not so great when it comes to being a partner, just a thought. I'm not from Sudbury and generally don't judge a mans appearance but maybe teeze makes a point, in this city that just may be the case who knows. I do know were I come from in California their are more in shape and fit men over 40 than woman by a long shot. Please don't get me wrong as their are a lot of beautiful woman out there to it is California and I'm not stupid. My point is this is a very odd perspective for someone who says they are over 40 and in not the best of shape ( I mean no offense by that) based on their photos. I guess we all are intitled to our opinions and likes and dislikes.

I should probably read some of the other responses, but isn't the simple answer to this one "yes"?

Lookingfourya!
Yep..I've heard the same, that a lot of women in their 30's and 40's don't like sex..well, it's not true. My girlfriends and I usually end up dating younger guys because the older ones have a tough time keeping up.

I like men..it really has nothing to do with age, it's the person. I find though, that living here in Southern California, where there are so many great looking people of all ages, that there are many men over 40 who are still attractive..geez, there are men over 50 who are still attractive. The challenge is, the ones who are attractive, usually know it or are already married or something....or want 20 year olds. It's like a merry go round.
