Oh good grief, so what if a woman wants to date a younger man? Why is it anyone else's business what she does? People need to stop concerning themselves with everyone else's life and live their own.

I was married to a man for 7 years that was 14 years younger than me. We had a great relationship for a long time. Cheating, or things like that, were not what split us up.
I still prefer younger men. Maybe not that much younger, but atleast 2-5 years.

The men my age, or the older than me, just don't seem to want to do anything.
I know there are older men out there that are still very active, but I have not found one.

I guess I'm just the opposite..........I prefer older men. Most of the ones I've met do things.........they are active and involved. I think it depends on the person.

Topjack, good gosh you are refreshing for a change. Tired of all this nonsensical bullcrap about multiple bullcrap. If people didn't worry so much about what society has brainwashed us all to believe is the "norm", we would all be a lot happier. I may have lived in this body for 56-years, but to me I am young, healthy, active, and ALIVE. And that is all that matters, as any of us, 20, 30, 40, 50 or up could die tomorrow, so enjoy today.

Yeah, but do the guys stay with these older women?
Interesting that you do the knee-jerk "blame the guy" thing, DandelionGirl. Did you even consider this possibility, in the form of a question: Yeah, but do the women stay with these younger men?


I agree . Statistics show that Older men date/marry younger women to feel Young themselves, perhaps Women are now doing the same.
Now, will y'all please stop busting our chops, and posting the same, hackneyed, tired posts on this topic? It IS what it IS.

Civil discourse is always encouraged; however the way some people in this thread got so offended at the topic idea seems to be a little more personal. Why anyone would get so up in arms about something they can't control; oh wait!?

Control? Could that be why some people are so upset about this age deal? They can't control what someone else is doing? God Forbid someone else have their own ideas in life! Nah, it couldn't be about control could it?

...maybe it is about control....and here I thought it was about choices and the freedom to make those choices....hmmm, but control is all about taking away those choices isn't it, our feedoms, our very existance...taking over our bodies completely....like in the Body Snatchers....oh sorry, sometimes I tend to get a bit carried away... Yeah so I've dated an occasional younger guy, didn't work out no biggie.

It should be about freedom to make choices; its your own life.

As with most matters, why does anyone not involved in the situation get so hell bent out of shape what someone else does with their life, as some of the posters on this thread have done. They are taking a woman's choice to date someone younger, as a personal attack on themselves. The women's reasons for dating a younger man, seem to also get them crazy. However, if the reasons don't apply to you, then you have no reason to get crazy.

It seems to me, that it's an old story of blame everyone else for your misfortunes in life. Women in this thread aren't saying they won't date men their age or older; they are giving reasons why they are dating younger. Rather than attacking the women, it would seem to me it might be more beneficial to listen to what they have to say and take it to heart.

DAYUM! Not only drop-dead handsome, but wisdom beyond the years!


Um..yeah?! "Chemistry" and attraction do not discriminate...esp when it involves silliness like chronology. Who cares about "age" when all the other "like" factors are in place?

It is the MIND that discriminates. Learned behavior and likes/dislikes. Fear and insecurities.

I like people (usually) and the ones( gals and guys) I have (in the past) been emotionally involved with got to me via their minds and other attributes. AGE never entered into the equation. Never. Many of my dearest friends are much younger than I.

These days...only observation I have is that, now back in the dating world, it appears more men younger than I, ARE interested in getting to know me, vs the men my age who do NOT seem interested in my age group??
Not a whining. Just an observation. And from reading various forums on this subject, seems to be a universal lament.
Men...check the age restrictions by men not only on POF, but other date sites. Interesting.
Men 50 + USUALLY restrict to UNDER 50...many way under.
Women same age group? 45-65 +.
Interesting.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and here's my personal theory on this...

Young men in their 20's and 30's, in this day and age, are A LOT more mature than they were when we older women were THEIR age! I think they're more mature,(some, anyway), and more aware of themselves then when I was their age. There's something very appealing about that. Guys these days in their 20s and 30s seem to know what they want. Some are more intellectual and intelligent and, for ME, that's what attracts me to them!

Now, whether they are mature enough to want a full-on serious relationship with a woman 10 years or more older than they are, that's when it gets tricky. I, for one, DO want a long-term lasting relationship that will eventually evolve into marriage - but a guy that much younger than I am, may just want a fleeting relationship - nothing serious for now. So, it can be a bit of a danger zone.

However, the pics on this site of the 20 and 30 year old guys are sometimes so attractive, (and that includes some of their profiles, as well), that I have to shake my head when I notice their age!!! LOL

Posted this in another forum:
You women haven't heard the new prime age for a man is 55...ok maybe I was dreaming but I'm sure I read that somewhere!!!! ladies go have fun, Just be happy, everyone has to look in the mirror everyday, what you see is what "you" have to live with...

Every morning when you look at yourself and you are thinking what does he see in me...touch your heart and really look into your eyes, if you feel nothing you have your answer, if a smile breaks from your lips doing you are doing better than most of us.

You women haven't heard the new prime age for a man is 55[quote/]

oh really??? good that is "prime" for me...although my current "friend" is 40 and he is rather "prime" if I do say so....love the way he thinks, sense of humor, outlook (positive) on life,a go-getter....professional and cowboy (raises horses for showing)...we can talk for hours on phone (while he is feeding horses, doing chores...ect..)..love a man who can multi-task.....lol...and LOOK SO GOOD DOING IT!!!

and for those who think "wayyyy over age" makes a difference...it still boils down to the people involved.... and besides...as it was said by my age peer (we are both 65 and women) there aren't many men older( and still kickin') available to choose from...

and unless my age is written on my forehead...no one knows it anyway....(of course POF does) so viva' la difference'.....

an 18-wheeler stopping on top of me couldn't keep me down...so what do I care what people say about "robbing the cradle".....it's my turn and I'm playing!!!!

firefighter I think I love you. LOL. Sorry got carried away there for a minute. LOL Your post always make me smile
Your so right, we need not to be so focused on age. If your happy with someone and you have "that smile on your face" because of it, who cares what the rest of the world thinks.

Hello, men my own age just don't come on to me. I did recently date a man (1st time) who said he was 4 yrs older than me (met him on here). But he acted 20yrs older than me. Nice guy, very old fashion ideas, ended up he had an equipment problem that he was kind enough to share on the 2nd date, but i had already made up my mind he wasn't for me. Absolutely no chemistry there. He had a closed mind to many things that i am very open to & was always saying " those youngsters" when a couple would pass us & they looked to me to be in their 30's or 40's . So i just told him , the old , we can be friends thing.
I am constantly appoarched by younger men. I do draw a line though cos some are REALLY young & i figure their just looking for a teacher. Don't wanna go there. It seems older men are very set in their ways (old fashion ways) & aren't interested in whats' happened in the generations they were off the market. European men think i'm one hot lady but they have to already be here & usually their still in another country.
Not that i'm opposed to living else where but how the heck do u get to know someone with an ocean between you ?
As far as younger men not being able to "get it" from younger women.... oh come on for the sake of everything what rock have you been hiding under? Younger people are "doing it" all over the place ! OMG i can't believe you said that

Probably more would if it was more acceptable. There are other reasons why they would want to. I'm glad I'm a man and can date older and a few years younger.

I date younger men for two reasons: (a) They ask me out, and men my age generally don't; and (b) They're sooooooooooo very cute

I would like to meet that 1/3 of women. I find it hard to meet older women and yes sometimes it can be frustrating liking older women. I've had some friends in the past but that's all they were. I never actually ended in a sexual relationship with them, I still have some friends but what is the key to get you women in bed? Some are insecure about their body or age. Some take for ever to decide...

One third of older women date younger men

Is that the same research that came up with women who smoke are more promiscuous?
