Posted: 10/11/2006 9:25:23 PM | methinks someone should consider changing their screen name to "treestump".
We all know that it's not such a big faux pas for a man in his 50's to date a 25 yr old...but the other way around is just considered "sick". HENCE the friggin reason the thread was started. It doesnt mean the majority of older women are into men the age of their sons!
The fact that the original post that the OP parodied is only a scant 3 pages and this one is crazily over the odds (27 pages & still counting)......shows you the imbalance. | |

Posted: 10/11/2006 10:15:35 PM | I don't think it is an age issue... more like society issue. The norm is for a woman to be looked at, to be appreciated, to take care of herself.. to be the trophy in some cases. This doesn't pertain to man. So once they pass 35 they are or had been in relationship and have been stinged and feel... if you like me take me as I'm. The only problem with that is most men don't put any effort in their physical apperance and see no reason for it, yet they expect the opposite of women they are attrackted to. This double standard is what I have encounter so far. I do not find myself attracted to too many men my age, as I find they act, dress and think old. On the other hand man in their late 20s and 30s sworm like bees around me. LOL It would be nice to find more man my age taking better care of themselves.  | |

Posted: 10/11/2006 10:49:22 PM | | right now, i am attracted mainly to men a few yrs older than i am, but it is because the men my age and younger just move too fast, and older men are generally more mature, less into games, and more at ease with the world. but if i am single after i've lived another 30 or so yrs, i will be chasing those younger men! i am so looking forward to being an older woman and grabbing some primo buttisimo. probably the only thrill i will get. | |

So explain it to me ladies... why are men that are 20 years younger so appealing when you get to be over the hill?
The allure: they never lurk in forums telling us that we are over the hill.  | |

^^^^ explain it me techguy, why would a 28 yr old who supposedly doesn't like "older women" keep coming to this thread and posting?
Hmm, do you have more interest in being noticed by an "older" woman than a woman your own age-who probably hasn't read or posted on this thread. Inquiring "over the hill" minds would really like to know?
Hiya. 
I never said I didn't like older women. Some older women are quite attractive. 
The point I was making though is that when people disregard age, they tend to be thinking short term (physical relationship) and not long term. There are a host of issues that arise when the age gap is too large, some of which are almost insurmountable. A lot of people only think in the moment.
I think that realistically, if you ladies were to date a much younger guy, the future would be that at some point in his 40's (when he's no longer young, and you're WAY old) he will dump you for a younger woman. That is to say, a woman more his own age that will have more in common with him and will be more active. In other words, you may be able to catch his interest now for a few more years, but it would be short lived. That's just my opinion.

I see someone left the damn window open again and the seagull came flying through, squawkin, flappin his trap, and sh!ttin on the carpet again.
Seagulls serve a useful purpose, and it's illegal to harm one.

No that was your momma. 
If you're not interested in older women, why the Fvck do you insist on repeating your claims here?
When did I say that? 
Does it offend you in some way, that a woman wants a younger man?
By all means, go for younger men (well not you, unless you want to that is). That means there would *theoretically* be millions of single young women roaming around. That's perfect for me! Whether I'm young or old, I could find a hot single cutie to date!

And these are the same women that were FREAKED OUT about dating a guy that was 25 when they were 18... thinking the whole idea was "creepy".
So explain it to me ladies... why are men that are 20 years younger so appealing when you get to be over the hill? And what do you do when the guy you're seeing has more interest in your 18 year old daughter than in you?
I realize that your posts was not directed at me personally, but when I was 18 I was dating someone that was 30.
What I would like to know is why you think women are all washed up at such a young age? I say a young age as people are living longer and are in better health than they were 100 years ago. 30, 40, 50, 60 and older are not the same as they once were. There was a time when a woman my age(49) was very old. Most likely she had 8 kids or more(All at home with a mid wife. Many times starting to have children as young as 14.), worked very hard physically, spent a lot of time out in the sun with no protection(sun screen), very little if any medical care and did nothing to take care of her skin other than washing it with lye soap.
You are the same age as my next to the oldest. I am sure glad my kids don't think like you do. I guess you will be horrified to know that I party with my 28 and 31 year old daughters on a regular basis. When we go out, people think we are all sisters(the women too, before you come up with any nasty comments), which I don't see, but they seem to!!!
Not even my 18 year old daughter sees me as an old woman. Sometimes I will wear something and she will say I am dressing like a granny, and I will say I am a granny as I have two grandchildren. She will come back, with I know, but I mean an old granny.

I've figured this out. It's all crystal clear, now. Now I know why SSUUMM 1 argues so much against an older woman dating a younger man.
SSUUMM 1 was abused by mommie.
I know this has been pointed out before, but, considering this message, it bears repeating.
Good luck | |

Posted: 10/12/2006 5:55:34 PM | to techguy: thank you for politely answering my question many "over the hill" inquiring minds wanted to know...

That is to say, a woman more his own age that will have more in common with him and will be more active. In other words, you may be able to catch his interest now for a few more years, but it would be short lived
From your point of view you're saying when the woman is 60 and he is 40 there might not be a connection-and if you've never experienced a connection on a deeper level than physical with someone, I understand why you might think this and why you would have this opinion.
However, when there is a deeper connection with a person on multiple levels, the age isn't a factor. You have to trust me on this one as I've dated guys older than me by 15 yrs and younger than me by 12 yrs and only when we discussed historical events did the age difference become apparent; but it didn't affect the level of common interest or connection between us-when you love a person in their entirety you don't care what age they are-You just love them for WHO they are and HOW they make you feel.
Does this help you to understand this issue a little bit better?
Remember too you could be married or in a relationship to someone who is your age or close to it and still end up with a short-lived situation because one of the partners looses interest-so again age doesn't really factor into a person being dumped. | |

Posted: 10/13/2006 4:39:20 PM | | I got to thinking about this thread the other day and I started to wonder how awfull it must be for some with this problem. Both men and women I mean. Starting with the young women that only want to date older guys, then these women get older and only want to date younger guys. Kind of limits your choices wouldn't you say? Having to constantly change your boyfriend because he begins to show signs of wear. Thats kind of what we do with cars....Maybe we should start a Men and Women for Lease store...But like my cars, I will have to go to the used car lot or get a good program lady with a good warrenty... | |

The other women in this thread probably forced your hand by scooping up all the men your age. 
What I would like to know is why you think women are all washed up at such a young age? I say a young age as people are living longer and are in better health than they were 100 years ago. 30, 40, 50, 60 and older are not the same as they once were. There was a time when a woman my age(49) was very old...
By "over the hill" I mean your best years are behind you. I didn't say anyone was washed up. Also, I don't agree with this whole "living longer" myth. I think banks and insurance companies like to perpetuate that idea in order to make more money, but the numbers don't bear it out. We have baby boomers sitting behind desks all day. We have the fast food/video game generation coming along behind them. I think the life expectancy is going to decline. With what we're breathing in the air and what we're putting in our bodies, there's no way we're better off today anymore.
You are the same age as my next to the oldest. I am sure glad my kids don't think like you do. I guess you will be horrified to know that I party with my 28 and 31 year old daughters on a regular basis. When we go out, people think we are all sisters(the women too, before you come up with any nasty comments), which I don't see, but they seem to!!!
So you wouldn't find it weird if you were dating "Joe", who was the same age as your daughter, and "Joe's" friend "Jack", who was also the same age as "Joe", was dating one of your daughters?

Posted: 11/1/2006 12:45:11 PM | Sorry to tell you Tech lol MY BEST YEARS have just begun!!!!! Im in the best shape I have ever been and I have maintained the same weight I have had since I was 18. I dont think being told I look good for my age is a compliment...because WTF should I look like at my age.
I have a 20 year old daughter who is my best friend....no boundaries crossed here...Im MOM and she is daughter but we love to do things together.....when we walk down the street we will compliment men who we think are hot...it is fun...men do it all the time. Men will hit on my daughter not thinking I am her Mom. Most people think we are sisters or friends....I don't really have any thoughts on that matter and one can take it as a compliment or not. I do not pretend to be in my 20s or live vicarously through her....Im single and she recognizes that I date men and the only thought she has behind younger men is for me not to date guys in their 20s...thats her issue, not mine....although, I doubt I would find someone her age a connection and thats what Im looking for.
Her friends have made comments like...."Your mom is a milf...to.... I bet your mom is getting some she is hot. These are what the comments of men her age will say and I dont take offense, Im just not there anymore ( I am not in my 20s and never will be again and quite frankly do not want to be)....know what I mean LOL.
I am comfortable being my age and embrace the changes that will be coming my way.....my last real bfs were in thier late 30s and I tend to really gravitate to men that age....not offending men my age by saying that either.
Also, I dont see any man ten years younger then me that much younger.....
Tech stop looking at us women over 40 as being evil and corrupting younger men LMAO... | |

I'm 50 and it's hard finding men my age who I find attractive.
Even up to your age there is a large surplus of men to women seeking relationships. Therefore, I'm sure you can easily find younger men. What I don't understand is why you feel the need to express the obvious. | |

It's probably hard for her to keep her craving for 23-year old manflesh in check, darling.
Rawr!
Can you blame her when hot young manhunks like yourself post those tantalizing shirtless photos and tempt her with the goods while not even truly exposing a nipple?
It's cruel! | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 1:22:40 PM | Can't say the age is 35 when they go downhill around here.. they are mostly still fairly hot to look at, with a few exceptions, of course. Even up to mid 40's, most still have it as far as I'm concerned hehe.. but then, I was married to a man for 25 yrs that was 8 yrs younger than me. Since my divorce 4 yrs ago, I have had dated 24yrs to 57 yrs.. and I have to say the most fun til now, with the exception of the 54 yr old I'm dating now, were the younger less fuddy duddy ones. 24 was WAY to young.. I seemed to like the mid to late 30's up to mid 40s the most.
But, alas, since I have been looking for a long term, seems no one wants someone MY age for that, unless they are close to my own age. That cuts most men my age out of the picture because the attraction factor for me isn't there, and most my age and up are too set in their ways, live in their own "boxes" as far as not thinking out of the box. Im intelligent, like conversation on many topics, am spiritual and not at all religious, am very active in EVERY way hehe. Too, I notice many men around me locally and near my age seem to have small children they are helping raise or have custody of. Thus they seem to want someone younger. **sigh**... The dating world as an older person sure has been interesting LOL...
Happy fishing everyone!
