| One third of older women date younger men
Posted: 7/3/2007 3:30:33 PM | | I agree w/lovableladywanted, personal preference. I personally want a man who understands when I mention The Carol Burnett Show as something funny, like Harvey Korman and Tim Conway in the Dentist office skit. But, then, I also appreciate confidence in a man, much more prevelent in the older men I have dated. | |

Posted: 7/3/2007 7:16:37 PM | LOL well I have been with younger men there was no brain damage or any other problem.
As far as I am concerned younger older who cares as long as you both get along.
My Mother has been happily married to a man 9 years younger and my sister has been with someone over 14 years that is 10 years younger. So what is the problem with it?
The tables have turned and now the men are getting a bit of their own in return!
How fortunate for us older women that there are on average a lot more better looking younger men than women.Bonus they cannot get pregnant rob us blind. | |

Posted: 7/3/2007 10:07:01 PM | Ok,call me Demi but a couple of years ago I was in an overseas relationship with an awesome handsome sexy man with model good looks and financially secure. I met him after seeing his photo(not on a dating service).
It was much more than sex though we had a huge huge attraction to each other prior to meeting and all thru our relationship.We ended more than a year ago I can still say it was one of the most enlightening and incredible learning experiences in my life in many aspects. He wasn't looking to be with anyone older,I wasn't really looking to be with anyone younger but we had an interesting bond with each other.
Big age differences can be a problem long term--especially if the man wants a family down the line and how active he will be when you won't be able to...
I lived in his country for a while with him though culturally I would have never fit in. I am glad he was schooled at Oxford in London and spoke fluent English as I really would have had a hard time learning the language there.. He had no desire to move to the USA since he can be a big fish in a small pond in his career in Europe.
I won't go out with anyone* that young* again but I do prefer younger men(by a few years) than much older than myself.
I credit good genes in my family,I look pretty youthful and really work at taking care of myself to stay that way for my health and career.
All in all..it was an awesome relationship with a wonderful man that I only wish the best for !
And I'd never consider long distance again either!

Posted: 7/3/2007 11:10:46 PM | | also known as cougars, sometimes the relationships work, sometimes they dont, all depends on the dynamics of the couple, also noted that a cougar is a lady who dates 10 or more years her junior, this isnt a bad thing, its just what some ladies happen to prefer, as some guys prefer younger ladies, a matter of choice, nothing more nothing less. | |

Posted: 7/5/2007 4:41:29 AM | | I'm 56 and I'm for dating younger men but when these 20 something guys contact me I just shake my head. That's a little ridiculous I think. First of all, I can't think of a thing to talk with them about. There is no way I can keep up with them if they want to do a sports type activity. Most of them listen to music that I don't consider music and most of them have never heard of the musical artists that I listen to. And my children are older or at least the same age as most of them. Nope I just can't do it. Younger men to me are 40's or I will consider a mature 35 or older. But then I have met some guys close to my age that have never grown up. And probably never will | |

Posted: 7/7/2007 6:56:06 PM | freyalee, I agree with you. This is one of the most puzzling things I have found since being on line. Frankly, I am amazed at the younger men that contact me. I don't get it. I am quite flattered but don't understand the attraction. At their age, I would have never thought of being with someone 30 years my senior. Then, I am a woman and not a man. Best I can figure, it has to be the sex. Which is fine and good, but like you, I want more than great sex. I don't need to be on-line to find some 20 something to go to bed with. I try to explain that to those that contact me, but some things never change. They tell me they want more, too! Yeah, right.  | |

Posted: 7/7/2007 7:24:45 PM |  I am an "older woman"..BUT...I am VERY "caught up in a different lifestyle"...I like rollerblading, riding horses, camping, boating, and a LOT more...and I have, since I ended my last significant relationship, been very involved in new stuff..I love learning new things..and I am very "out there"...not into sucking down on the couch with a TeeVee on!
My friends are all way younger and my last relationship was as well...(and had nothing to do with it's demise.) I love learning and growing!
I like being and getting into the way i FEEL...LOL! Always a new stage...
So many on here state they FEEL/THINK so much younger...yet they seem so much older in their restrictions, ideals,etc. Check it out...all these restrictions? HUH?
Younger guys seem to have fewer "restrictions"... 
Just something I have observed... (and No, I am NOT a "cougar"..LOL!) | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 11:49:56 AM |  Almost every man on here who is over say 50's emphasis that they are young in their ways, and seeking a young woman...some even say18 to 35, and some are in their 60's with their OWN children being older than what they seek.
In the meanwhile, it does not matter anyway, if to people find happiness, age should not be considered, unless we are talking about minors.
I would like some man to explain why they do this; Is it because some of us have had things removed from our bodies, or our attitudes change, or we get old looking, or something? If this is the case, we are should consult the mirrow, the facts are when we are older....we are just that, older. If a man my age is not interested in me, why not try one 10 years younger if he is game....we have to have dreams and live too.
Also for the individual here who says we don't have long together, who has? Who has assurance they will be here for any length of time. If we are blessed to be here longer on this earth, it is not because of anything we have done. Time and unforseen occurances befall us each and every one, young or older. | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 2:10:20 PM | | I don't date a person because of their age. I date a person because they may have impressed me during a conversation. Therefore, age really doesn't come into play unless someone asks me "Is that your Grandson?" | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:29:54 PM | Well..............I prefer men my own age................but I must say I do get hit on much much more by men in their early 30's. They all say an older women is much more fun and knows what she wants and likes and does it all well. I do tend to agree with that.
I really do not want to go the route of the younger man because I myself am looking for a relationship and i just do not see it possible with a man that much younger. What do you think ladies out there who have dated younger me should we just go for it and enjoy these younger men??? | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 6:06:38 AM | (I think extreme age differences however have a shorter shelf life, both among Older Men/Younger Women and Older Women/Younger Men. Ochun36)
I married a man 18 years my senior. It lasted until his death after 25 years of happy marriage. Compatability isn't a number or a birth date. I would be willing to date someone younger or older if it "clicked". I don't think the "shelf life" of any relationship is a question of age as much as harmony. | |

bigtrucker059
You don't think it's an ego thing for a man to date a younger woman then? Any time there is attraction between two people there is ego involved because of the way it reflects on the parties involved, regardless of the ages of the parties. Feeling wanted IS "warm and fuzzy". | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 4:13:04 PM | I've been in relationships with both younger and older men. I don't think there are any issues with 5 years difference. Beyond 5 years there can be, especially if the woman is older. I tend to look younger than I am so a lot of my relationships have been with younger men. I have no problem with that but there were times I wished I was understood better. That I wasn't the one who the other person looked to for advice all the time.
If there is a big age difference and the woman is older then the couple can be teased a lot or other people may not take their relationship seriously. Or assume the man is after the woman's money and the woman is just interested in the sexual part of the relationship. But people tend to generalize in the same way if the man is much older as well.
What other people think shouldn't matter. What matters is if both people are happy and getting what they need. | |

Posted: 7/11/2007 7:33:24 AM | | Well, I guess I am included in the 1/3 that date younger men. I find as I get older I am told I look younger than my years. It just feels more comfortable for me to be with someone that looks in their 30's or early 40's. I am going to be 52 in August and most of my friends are in the 30's bracket for age. I don't have a preference to age as long as the chemistry is there. I do agree that age is just a number and if 2 people have things in common and they enjoy each others company all the time and not just in bed then go for it. | |

Posted: 9/8/2007 9:37:41 AM | | I wouldn't base a relationship with a man my age (or older for that matter) solely on sex any more than I would one with a man younger. It's a consideration, but surely not the only foundation for a relationship with anyone of any age. | |
