| What is it about men 40+ trying to talk to young women

Posted By: unorthadoxchick on 7/9/2006 4  31 PM Subject: What is it about men 40+ trying to talk to young women Message: Why is it that on this website there seems to be an epidemic of 40+ men hitting on (trying to talk to) young women ? I am 25 and I get a least 2 messages everyday that are from men 40+ and quite a few IMs. Even when I put a age limit in my profile (22-32)...I still get so many? Any one else have this happen to them?
It happens to me too, I get older women hitting on me.
"trying" sounds a bit condescending. I've been dating women 10-15 years younger, and age is never an issue.

It's just hopeless optimism outpacing common sense. Does it really offend you? I have friends in your age group. I don't try to hit on them, and they don't make irritating assumptions about my intentions. We just appreciate and like each other as people.
But these guys probably do want to bang you. Can you blame the poor sods? | |

Posted: 7/11/2006 3:56:29 PM | Let me say something here. It's not the men causing it. Nowadays..many many women have posted in their profiles that they want younger men!! Someone who can "LAST" and full of energy.
Too many women in my agegroup have totally forgotten the older men. Yet,,, we have more security to offer.
Ya want a great man?? Find some fat old guy who has a disability. He'll love ya unconditionally. He would just be happy to have you in his life and do everything in his power to keep you there. (then you could take on a lover on the side ) LOL Just teasen.

Posted: 7/11/2006 7:22:08 PM | I am so tired of the posts of older guys (like me) having such great success with younger women!! If you are having such great luck, you don't need to be here telling us about it!!
About older men looking for younger women...it is only natural. I get a little worried when I see that the ladies my age all want younger men! I guess there comes a time to give up and just establish a members-only non-secterian monastery!
I can't go after a younger gal, because that is in appropriate these days, and I have no chance with the ladies my age....they want the young studs!! | |

I'm sorry allnewme ... I don't mean to be blunt or rude, but I believe your statement is ... umm ... (how can I say this nicely) ... err ... wrong.
In a forum of this age bracket, men and women tend to be attracted to those their own age - if only for conversation purposes alone. And those that do not, tend to be the minority. I think you'll find that the 'numbers' will prove me right on this. If, to you, the women are after the 'young studs', you might want to re-examine the way you are choosing women to talk to. There is something in your choices that is definitely working against you. And the term "in appropriate", by the way, was nearly correct. I believe you just omit the space and make it one word to fix it. But hardly a problem in here.

It's in my profile.
It needs to be in your email settings. Then you wouldn't have this problem at all.
But to answer your question, in the non-cyber world I have had a few early 20-somethings who have hit on me over the past few years. Even had it happen on this site. Everyone has their preferences. Not every man reads every word of your profile.
So, if you TRULY wanted to end this problem, you would set your email profile accordingly. | |

Posted: 7/11/2006 7:57:48 PM | | cdn, if I am wrong, in your opinion, say it, no offense taken, but I disagree that in this age bracket, we are all attracted to those in the same age group. And, it has nothing to do with women I choose to talk to....just read the profiles!! I have a hard time choosing a "woman to talk to" because I am out of their age restrictions. So many ladies, just for example, age 55, will only accept approaches from men 35 to 50!! again, just an example of what I have seen. | |

Posted: 7/11/2006 8:09:50 PM | Well, allnewme ... if you have been looking at this and see this, then I guess I have to take back what I said, as I haven't been looking so I wouldn't really know it for a fact. But I do have to say, that I find that very surprising. I don't know, I just thought that common sense would put people of the same age talking to each other -- each person having similar experiences in the 60's rather than not even being born then -- that kind of thing.
But if you say it's so and you've been looking, there's not much chance that I can argue with you. Still, though ... seems strange. It has not been my experience.

40+ men hitting on (trying to talk to) young women Talking to and 'hitting on' are two different things entirely.
I never knew there were age restrictions on talking to people...and I've been 'talking to' all our summer student workers!
I wonder if they think I'm hitting on them????
OMG....some of them I wouldn't even be attracted to if I was their age.
Of course now that I think of it, there never was a time in my life that I found teenage boys attractive. | |

Posted: 7/12/2006 12:34:55 AM | | I don't know about the rest of you but on a computer I'll talk to anybody. If they want to talk back that's all the better because I met a new friend. The reason that I talk to so many younger people is because the internet is a young persons game. On other sites that I belong to the amount of older people on them are minimal to say the least and so what is wrong with talking to a younger person if that is all that is there to talk to. I am here to meet people not to define cultural barriers. If I see something like (20 to 35) I would most likely respect their right to be by themselves but I have also written to people in that realm, simply because I find something interesting in their profile. I for one am not living out a second childhood because I've been there and I've done that and there is allot to say about getting older. See getting older has it's advantages, one is I am not out to make a name for myself, I have one thank you. I am not subjected to peer group pressure or cultural pressure for that matter. "Your biological clock is running out!'. Mine ran out years ago now I am starting to enjoy time. So the way I figure it you toot your horn your way and I'll toot mine my way and most of my dearest friends on line are younger than me. | |

Posted: 7/12/2006 4:02:33 PM | | We may rock, but I for one find the issue a "life experience" one. I just cannot imagine being able to share deeply with someone with as limited a perspective as a 20-something has simply due to their youth. Not saying that they are not wonderful people... or even fun to talk with... but more than that? I just can't picture "hitting" on someone my daughter's age. | |

Posted: 7/12/2006 10:13:16 PM | | The best part about this post is that she asks finally if anyone else has that problem, but, since she's a kid in the over 45 group, how many others with her "problem" are going to see it here? Duh. Plus I noted the horror of having to field 2 whole messages EVERYDAY, I can see why she called it an "epidemic." It's a wonder with all those emails that she has time to look in the mirror and remember that she's better-than-average looking. | |

I get exactly the opposite problem........"20 something" women sending me mail. Gimme a break, a 20 year old wanting to meet a 50+? I delete with out even looking. Almost certainly Eastern Europe or SW Africa.
In the second email they are already madly in love with you, and in the third one they ask you for money to get a visa so they can come to see you.
The fascinating thing is that such kind of scam still works, otherwise nobody would use it anymore. | |

Posted: 7/13/2006 7:30:58 PM | Geez, all you lucky older guys getting hit on by younger ladies, even if they only want to use you to get into the USA!
Sorry, I don't believe it, not until I see it.
I have been on this site (under different names) and several pay sites...never had that problem!
Actually, never had a problem fighting off approaches by the ladies!
You guys must have some magic that I do not have!
Thanks for the forums...the only thing rewarding fom here so far! | |

Posted: 12/16/2006 2:46:04 PM | | Other than as eye-candy, Im not really into ladies more than 8 yrs my junior... But what is it about some women assuming that they should decide what age women 40+ men should date. Where is it written that its illegal if shes over 18? | |

Posted: 12/16/2006 8:16:08 PM | But seriously folks...Its inbred into the male genome. Any man that watches commercials. I'm 48, and I want a younger woman. I wouldn't mind have 1 kid someday. That doesn't happen with women over forty very often. In fact, my girl/friends dad is 78 dating a 36 yr old girl 2 years now... | |
