| One third of older women date younger men
Posted: 5/6/2006 9:37:17 AM | Now that's a very interesting analysis you made Dorian.
As a woman of 50 years, I always feel like I've got a puppy on the end of a leash when I date men that are in their 30's. It's like I have to teach them to sit and stay. They just bounce all over the place like an india rubber ball not really knowing what the heck they are doing and they pee all over the floor when they get excited 
Yet men who are my age or older just can't keep up with me. The hydraulics are starting to have functional problems and the concept of a 40km bike ride is like an "oh my gawd" thing. They've got a U-Haul stuck to their butts with all the baggage from the ex's. Ya know, I don't wanna hear that she done ya wrong. I listen to country music, I hear that all the time on the radio
I feel like I'm stuck in the middle somewhere. Either I have to train 'em or I have to be able to give CPR.
Regards,

Posted: 5/6/2006 10:20:21 AM | | I I’m 57 and find myself looking at women in the age range 46-56. My mature level is more closely to them than the older age range. The younger woman has been able to keep up with me. But I have also found a few older women that can too. The percentage is large with younger women. But the percentage of rejection is also higher with younger women for a men in my age group. In the case, older women and younger men, rejection rate is lower. Men like been spoiled, no matter what there ages. Women trend to cater to the men needs and wants more. But there are a few men that do (not many). That's something that wasn't in the owner manual for men. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 11:52:53 AM | Even when I was young, I went for older men and I'm still that way. The youngest I've gone was 6 yrs....once. I could tell a big difference even in THAT, with the mind set and things of that nature.
OLDER FOR ME!! | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 12:01:36 PM | | Well, help me out. I'm a 38 yr old 6ft 2in 190lb black male who is attractive universally (work out often). I'm a professional, single father but I really love older women, especially those women who are clean and take good care of themselves. I live in Albany, NY and would like to meet a older woman for no-strings fun. I'm out to please the woman. I'm very oral and YES well-endowed. Send me some info. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 3:36:34 PM | | In regards to message 26 I meant Alfred died in 2001, not 1992. I was distracted with a minor issue, I'll get over it. And by the way, Alfred didn't mind that I didn't work out at the gym like he did, nor watched my weight like he did. He watched his calories. He accepted me as I was. Big and overweight. He had a V-shaped body. And he was our family hair stylist too. We all miss him. Only problem with Alfred was he liked other women at the same time. I loved him anyway. He saw the other women on the sly. I told him, if I caught him, I would stop being with him. I never caught him with another woman. I only found out about them, after he died and his roommate gladly filled me in on his escapades. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 5:46:53 PM | I think in this day and age....it just happens. I dated someone a lot younger than I was (16 years).....but I thought we were just friends...which looking back on it makes me see that just made me let my guard down totally. I enjoyed dating him but never considered it "real"
I don't think he was despearate nor was I...we just clicked. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 9:40:42 PM | When an older woman dates a younger man, she spoils him for all the women in his age range that come along later. He will always be looking for that pampering and sexual experience. Also some people mentioned younger as being 1 to 5 years younger. I don't consider that age range young! Date someone 10 years younger, then you will see a difference! You will tend to become a big influence in their life and they will never forget you. The question of whether they stay around or not for the long term.. well does that really have anything to do with age! I think that has more to do with compatibility. | |

Posted: 5/7/2006 12:48:36 AM | Dahlia, on the contrary, I am not shallow. What I think is shallow is thinking like "I only date blondes", "I only date dark men", "I don't want anyone bald", "I only date younger than myself". That is what shallow is. Personally I do not care what age a person is, what their hair color or body size is. I am looking for someone I just click with. I think narrowing it down to a category like some of you do is pretty superficial.
Now for my comments about why younger men go for older women. Don't take my word for it. Go look and the hundreds of threads on these forums where guys are looking for older women. Just look at how much they bring up sex. You think they want to hear about your grandchildren? I don't say that they all are thinking this way, but a good majority are. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 5:28:37 PM | I'm past 60 and I feel that way about men in their 40's, but I like puppies.
I think the trend of dating younger men is growing. It is a change from what we grew up with and we are still adjusting. When I was younger, I wouldn't have thought I'd be over 60 and dating men in their 40's. But now I think it's a great idea. Most of my single friends now date younger men. These days your friends will look at you funny if you date an older man.
I would think in 5 to 10 years, that it will be two thirds of women who date younger. Once you do it, it's hard to go back. Younger men are more appealing, more energetic and yes, they are better in bed. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 7:35:52 PM | Actually - having preferences is NOT SHALLOW
If someone likes their boink buddies 25 years younger that is NOT SHALLOW
What is shallow is to date someone BECAUSE of something - because they are young - because they are rich - because they are famous | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 7:44:51 PM | I agree again there Ron, I see nothing wrong with younger men. They are fun, and delightful. I was married to a younger man, not by much, but still.
So call me a cradle robber, I don't give a darn. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 7:44:54 PM | In some cases it's not just out of preference for a younger man. I've noticed a heavy preponderance of males in my age bracket that exclude women of their same age. Subtract all the really unsuitable candidate and you've got a really small pool of possible dates that are in the same age bracket, thereby leaving one no choice but to look at younger (not that it's not nice looking  ). The only other possibility is to look at waaaaay older - ummm thanks but no thanks! | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 1:02:54 PM | | Hmmm..I've changed my mind on the importance of an age difference over the last year...I use to think that if someone was a lot younger than me (30's) that I couldn't date them, but since I now have guys in their 20's contacting me, I've decided "what the f**k is the big deal?" If the guy is interesting and funny and likes to do some of the things that are important to me, I'll date 'em...I still have some concerns about guys in their 20's, but I'm trying to be open-minded about them too...they definitely have the energy and interest in sex that I am also looking for! lol I also have guys contacting me in their late 50's and I'm saying the same thing, why not? | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 1:38:13 PM | Well, I'm certainly not a younger guy... but I have no problem with it. If it makes the older woman and the younger man feel good, go for it. In my opinion, it's better to have someone closer to one's own age for emotional reasons and it's just easier to grow old together, but it's about the people involved and it's up to them... not outsiders.
Be happy!!!! | |

Posted: 5/25/2006 7:08:01 PM | | Well, I am at my 30's, honestly I tell you. I am dying for older women. You know I am dying, it is hardest thing that surfing adult sites, watching mature porno... yet still THERE IS NOTHING IN REAL. My problem is this; I am not confident to approach older lady and initiate relationship as well as of many other younger guys. Whenever I heard and read such successful stories of young guys make it with olders, I feel so bad. Why can't it happen to me? | |

Posted: 5/29/2006 2:11:18 PM | | For me personally it is an insult, if a younger man thinks, that he would be good enough for me. Every year, that I have lived longer than he, is a year, that I have spent learning, maturing, making new experiences, developping myself. For every such year, the younger man is insufficient. I am only looking for someone of my own age group, and I am 56. | |

Three years ago I signed up on a singles site and tried to talk to mid 40s gals ......... ugg. DUH I finally figured it out - many of them considered me too old. Many don’t - but no way of knowing who does and who don’t.
Wowzers! I'm just one woman, but I think (dependant on the individual, ofcourse) mid 40's to 50's is the perfect age. I finally dig and appreciate and even seek out guys my own age.
I've finally grown into knowing exactly what works for me, and it's very cool. I think a great deal of it has to do with the fact that I've finally grown into being me, this age---and embracing this place that I'm at inside.
I've had more younger guys hit on me in the last 6 months than I have in my whole life, but I'm just not interested in them. I can't find any way of relating to them that is of significance to me. Not even sexually.
I don’t want to be considered some dirty old man so - I stopped.
Please, don't buy that garbage. Don't allow someone else to project their crap onto you. Go for what you want and don't be bothered to care about such perceptions.
by the time the average guy hits 45 - he has had to face rejection a bazillon times - not only in personal life but many in business life as well. We get our fill of it sooner or later. The younger guys will to as time goes by. I personally have FORTY YEARS of experience at rejection - that is just about enough.
*sigh* Hopefully, all that rejection teaches us how to handle it. | |

But personally, I like men my age and older. I don't have time for little boys.
I think we're talking about MEN who are younger, not little boys. Many people in their 20s, 30s and 40s are confident adults; I know I was. Of course, some men, like some women, always stay a little immature. | |
