^^^^You are very right. It happens in all age groups. There are as many women interested in older men as there are older men interested in younger women. It should work out quite nicely. It just seems to be considered "taboo" for a women to openly express opinions that men have openly displayed for years. I'm not the least bit offended when a man my age openly prefers someone younger than me. Good for him, I completely understand his preference. I don't like that I am scrutinized for sharing the exact same preference.


I'm just not buying all this age discrimmination crap


Personal preferences do not equate to discrimination. All people are different. I think it's great you are comfortable dating all age ranges. I'm not. So shot me.

Gentlemen....dont get annoyed here, take it as a wakeup call...a lot of men consistently want younger women as they grow older BUT they fail to recognize the fact that most younger woman dont really want to cuddle a beer gut.


Older women don't want to cuddle a beer gut either.


It just seems to be considered "taboo" for a women to openly express opinions that men have openly displayed for years.


Precisely my point.

How the hell can you help where hair grows?


Why, with scissors, razors and wax.. since you ask.


The OP is at least 55. By that age, women look more male than female. Please, please stop making an ass of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I call bull$hit here... my aunt is near 70 and still looks like a very tall runway model. Pi$$es me off, too. Actually, she's my cousin, but I've always called her "Auntie".


but the whole thing about men over 35 just struck me as being really shallow and stupid.


How'd you feel about the opposite thread? Hmm?

who the fox
sorry I should also have added older women also...as this fits in all age groups..
I still maintain that its to each and everyone of our interests --men and women--to try to keep in shape and looking good --or the best that we can as long as we can...feeling good about yourself is a good thing

I'm turning 36 soon and I guess I don't see anything wrong with her preferences or the guy who started the other thread. Having preferences doesn't always = Shallow.

alright, everyone has their preferences. yours truly included. however, she generalized and said most men over 35...wtf is up with that? like i said, my dad is 62 and can run circles around me at 37! and most men half is age...now let me tell you, my dad is a real man if ever there was one...

Other than proving how childish some ppl can be...lets get over the one thing.....each of us has our prefernecs and i bet the children in this thread would reject someone that wasnt up to their standards...so is that shallow?
so in effect..if the OP has a certain criteria that she wishes to see in a man..so be it..dont cry because you dont fit the bill...glock..i havent heard "my dad this and my dad that" since i was a child in the sandbox..do you think thats contributing to this thread?or really is it just showing your true colours to someone who may have been interested in you?
Again..just because someone has a preference and voices it does NOT make them shallow

i really don't take offense to anything the op said... pretty much the truth... what does bother me is that although a women writing this kind of thread gets flamed a bit, what do you think the response is if a man writes a thread stating how most women over a certain age are unattractive because of the sagging of certain body parts or the cottage cheese factory they are growing or blah blah blah... my opinion is that people age.. get over it... no-ones getting out of this alive and most of us will show some miles after a while.. fight it all you want... was green eyes looking under my eyes?

^^^^Not scathing on your father, but if I had a dime for every time an older man approached me and said "I look younger than most 30 year olds" "I have the body of a 35 year old" "I can work harder/longer days than the 20 year olds" "My son can't keep up with me and he's 30" "I still walk to work 5 miles uphill everyday" I would not be sitting here on a Sunday night reading forum posts. I'd be in France in the villa I purchased with all of my bullsh!tting the little girl money. Come on. The OP looks great. I think Bucsgirl looks amazing, so does Lux (as well as most of the other women posting here.) Do we claim to run circles around our 20 year old kids? Hell no. We're realists. We are secure in who we are and in what we want and in what we find attractive. I am not so stupid as to set my sites on men well beneath my age ~ BUT, I don't have to date someone older just because I'm in my 40s. That is silly. I have dated younger men my ENTIRE life. From high school until now. I did not reach some magic number that now dictates I have to give up what I love about the opposite sex. Likewise, I don't want men to give that up either. But this double standard stuff is ridiculous. We are not shallow because we have preferences. We have preferences because we don't want to waste someone's time by dating them when there is no real attraction. That is human nature, we are all programmed differently ~ hence, the survival of our species. Man, you guys, stop being so nasty. Women of all ages are beautiful. Women are just beautiful creatures. If you can't say something nice, start a woman-hating thread and I promise, we won't follow you there. Edit: post for glockster


LMAO!!!

NO, your adorable!!! You are exempt from my rant !! Mwah!!!

To the defense of both the OP and the men who are retorting her statement, I think far too many "hurtful" things get said about the opposite sexes in these forums. I often have to really absorb what I'm reading and try to remember not to get defensive myself.

I for one am not thrilled about turning 40 this year. I also wonder what aging will be like, and so on. Leaving my prime is also a frightening option...then I realized, I have a choice.

I asked my aunt today, "auntie, when you had your menopause, did you lose your sex drive? do you still feel sexy?" She said "sweetie, it's BETTER now. Trust me, you'll like it." No more menses and I feel sexy as ever!"

I was actually quite surprised to hear it, recalling however that my own Nana was having relationships with men 20 yrs her junior when she was only 65!

I am reaching the point in my life where I no longer believe ANYONE has the right to define me but ME. At 20, at 40, at a 100. I decide what that age looks like and no one else gets to do so when it comes to me. Anyone who tries to do so has only achieved one thing, they have limited themselves to that very judgement. It's not mine to limit myself by.

I think there are some super hot and sexy men out there who are vintage stock. Those who take good care of themselves, it shows. I also think there are women who rival younger women with their astounding beauty. I do however think that personality is the light that shines the way to viewing that beauty and I don't think bashing each other for the mistakes we've made and said will make us any more "palatable" than we were before.

I think all human beings have the potential for beauty on all levels. It starts with health and taking good care of ourselves. A sound body reflects a positive glow. That goes for men and women.

You can only define me and my age if I give you consent to do so, and I haven't and won't give that consent today. THIS is what 40 looks like for Corinne.

what do you think the response is if a man writes a thread stating how most women over a certain age are unattractive


Well go on over to this thread's sister thread and see what they say...

..."but for the most part any man over 35 is pretty well past it."-that my friends is generalizing. call it what you want. i take exception to it, regardless of what some on here might think. sure she can have her preferences. whatever...but don't generalize every man over 35. that goes for women over 35 as well. as for me bringing up my father being childish, again, whatever...i've seen him work circles around young men in their 20s. i know...i've seen it. the point wasn't a childish-my father is better than yours. the point i was making was that op doesn't know what a truly real man is...and never could, what with generalizing and pretty much narrowing her choices to men under 35...if that is what she is doing. don't lump me into that category of over 35. good fishing to you all...

As a man under 35 (barely) I want you all to know that lots of us have enormous guts, lie on the couch swilling beer, and have hair already growing on every imaginable area except on the top of the head.

What the OP really means is that she is not attracted to lazy beer swilling couch surfing guys with no sense of style. This could be men of of her age or any other, unless of course the OP is looking to date a chubby 25yo computer nerd with 13 inch biceps and a 42 inch waist as her ideal man.

Why this even relates to age is beyond me.
