Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted: 1/16/2007 2:43:45 PM
i hate ALL the stupid little "emoticons" they put on this thing,
but onto your question,
thats tough luck for these old broads, because I'm 26 and I'm dating a 22 year old and he's
sweet, good natured, funny and not all jaded and "too cool" like all the 30 year olds i meet.
he's not "too cool" to hold hands and not "too cool" to call me when he says he's gonna call.
I like that. I've had a rough couple of years and i think i deserve someone nice like that.
so to all you old chicks out there, give all boys a chance.

^^^Said with truth. Us old chumps got nothing to offer compared to these young guys, as the older women say. Must be true..to think I myself never believed it, but after over a year of hearing the same old things said, why would any old chick give an old chump a chance? So those young guys out there who think older women do not date younger guys? Lots of those older women are doing what men in the past did...leaving thier man for something better.
The grass is always greener on the otherside for women...
Also now you see more and more women dating younger because they do not have to put up with the comments from others about it seen as it is considered socially acceptable. So more women are in fact preferring men much younger.
Plus women know they have the power in their hands in dating and sex. So when they know this, they take advantage of it. Why would say a 42 yr old woman want to be with a guy around her age when she can have a fun, exciting, and hot looking young guy who also will satisfy her needs sexually on top of everything else? So there are far more women who will only date younger than there are that will date closer to their age.
Most men in their late 30's and older only have a choice to date women much older 10+ years older. And so that means there is more competition for the men. Dating much younger men in their 20's, there is so many that these older women can and will date anyday.

I'm into younger guys.
I would date someone who was 18 if thats the guy I wanted to date.
I'm also into older guys. I'm not picky.

haha, but yeah, you've got to acknowledge there are plenty of people your age still sorting for that direction while a lot of people under 30 have phenomenally clear heads on their shoulders.

I think the bananas got the OP!

Judging by his post, I can understand, why possibly,
more mature women, might turn him down.

I seem to attract them, no doubt about that!

The older women posting in this thread talk all high and mighty but let me share my story of attempted cradle robbery to disprove those saintly claims you're making. Oh yes, your collegues have different ideas, ladies.

I used to be a bouncer at several nightclubs over the course of my 19th and 20th years. During this time i've seen QUITE a few things i'd like to forget, but to the point....nearly all
the women who would be bold enough to approach me would be (you guessed it) at least two times my age. The youngest on average was maybe 33. I can count the number of girls my age who hit on me on one hand, roughly. but, as a bouncer i'm there to prevent harm to the other patrons, not flirt with women. Dear thread creator, I would trade places with you in an INSTANT.

I believe though, that it in part it had to do with my appearance. I guess I appear much older (they'd claim i looked 30ish) than i am when i'm dressed in black combat armor and brandishing my baton at drunkards about to start brawling.

but still..

Older ladies hunt younger guys. I believe the term is cougar. Condemn me if you want, but don't get angry at the messenger hahaha.

I have to agree with missy(d398761) Don't want to train a boy when i can have a man that knows what he's doing. My son is 19 and that's sick sh*t to me. Grown woman that have there right minds want a man not a little boy. So honey you need to go out with girls your age. Get older woman off your mind. Good luck Texaspeach37

I must admit, I'll be 42 tomorrow and all I've ever dated are younger guys. The last relationship I had, there was 14 years difference between us. He was 21 when we met and I was 36 or something like that. We started dating and then moved in together for a year. He was much older than he appeared, very smart, educated and funny. We had lots in common. I think in my case, since I look like I'm in my 30's, this is the reason younger men come on to me. Lately, however, it's been 19 and 20 year olds. This is ridiculous. My son is 23 and I just cannot bring myself to "date" any of these aged guys.

Younger men, well that much younger, can't usually take care of me the way I want or deserve to be taken care of, and it's not all financial so don't jump to conclusions there, I guess is what I'm trying to say, through my years and years of dating, almost all of them have been younger, just not 14 years younger.

As I get older, I realize how much I do want what an older man can give me, stability, security (financial and emotional) and younger men just aren't cut out for that, usually, but again, it depends on how much of an age difference we're talking about

I prefer younger guys, but at my age (51 almost 52) a younger guy is in his 30's. I try not to date someone that is more than a couple of years older than myself. My sister is married to someone who is 14 years younger than her and they are as happy as can be. Would I go out with someone in their 20's? I cannot truely answer that as I have never met anyone that young. I believe it would depend entirely on their maturity level. I have tons of energy and like having fun but I also want to be able to have an intelligent conversation when needed.

So what does this comment all you older women into younger guys seem to say all the time?
If someone 50 says someone 30 is better than someone their age, if someone 40 says someone 20's is better than their age, and what all these women say no matter the age that they are "Full of energy" then how can a guy in his 30's not be worthwhile to a woman in her 30's and how can a guy in his 40's not be worthwhile for a woman in her 40's etc. You all make no sense.
Seems no matter the age of the woman, she will always say she is full of energy and is not set in her ways. A woman 30's will criticize men her age, same with women 40's and 50's. What gives?
Are men in their 30's only good enough for a woman in her 50's? What about men in their 50's? Is their life all done, washed up? You all confuse me for sure when a woman 59 shows an interest in a guy 37 yet a woman a woman 37 will show an interest in a guy 25. This is really whacked.

Woman in her 50's: Guys my age are boring, set in their ways, I am full of energy
Woman in her 40's: Guys my age are boring, set in their ways, I am full of energy
Woman in her 30's: Guys my age are boring, set in their ways, I am full of energy
Woman in her 20's: Guys my age are immature but I would never date a man alot older

Guys no matter the age of the women...they will never be happy or satusfied and will always say the samethings about us. Crazy. And if it is not true ladies then look at all these threads about younger guys and older women. See the ages of the women and see what they say. All the samethings and yet all the women are in an age range of 20-60. Go figure on this.

I have a few friends my age and older but most of my friends are much younger. I find that most people my age are lookin to "settle down", that's not what I want in my life right now..been there done that...if i meet people my age that are lookin for what I am then great, but for now I just don't see lots of late 30's that are lookin for that....sooooo that said, I am lookin for people that are my age emotionally, whatever their chronological age is

Honesty coming out now.

I have dated some younger guys and these are the facts. (At least for me)

If I am looking or wanting something serious, I would not choose a young guy. I dont have much in common with him and I like having good conversations. Most young guys are not very stable on jobs, what they want and are just silly sometimes. It is hard to take them serious.

On the other hand. If I am not looking for "serious" these are most likely the best ones to have as a toy. The sex is great and even if it isnt, well, you have 10 more chances at it with in a few hours. They are very willing to learn.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for.

I highly disagree with this. The last time I visited my Grandma in the Nursing Home. After the visit, I mingled around a little with some of the sexy elderly lady residents there. I walked out of there that day with 14 phone numbers!

Nice rant Champ.

I could replace each of the "women" with "men" and "guys" with "gals" and it would still hold true.

Wierd stuff indeed.

To each his own....I went out with a guy recently that was 56...only 5 years older than me...he needed to go home at 8:30 because he was tired...and then he actually asked me out again. And what would happen on our second date? I would have to make sure he left by 8:45 so he wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel? I am not saying all men older than myself are like that, I am saying if I prefer someone in their 40's or even 30's, there should be no problem. I know men in their 30's that are school teachers, self employed., etc. They are secure, stable and mature. Age is only a number and nothing more. And yes, I do have tons of energy.....and darn proud of it!!!

I've date women that are older but only by a few years. If you're both looking for casual dating than there are women of all ages to choose from. I don't think you're going to find an easy time finding an older woman on POF but go out in the real world and put on the charm. In terms of a viable longterm relationship, big age gaps can be problematic. Let's see the younger on of the two want to have children but the other has no interest, this might be a deal breaker. It's all about your maturity level, this is conveyed by how you carry yourself and communicate.

Good luck.

So true, is why i wish I was in my 20's again. I suck in the sack, according to the last woman i dated and she was 5 years younger than me. Very true, when it comes to sex, young guys under 30 have the stamina and will want to learn and can go all night. Now not sure about men my age but me? I would be done in a few minutes or so and not be able to go all night. Is why i stay away from sex now as well. As women say sex with a younger man is way better than with a guy her age. And sex is VERY important for all women.


They are secure, stable and mature. Age is only a number and nothing more. And yes, I do have tons of energy.....and darn proud of it!!!


Definitely true, no debts, lots of disposable income, and way better jobs and careers than us old chumps who work dead end jobs. Another plus to date younger men. Good comment and so true. And yes we do not have the energy of those studs in their 20's that is for sure. Wish I did but that was 10 years ago.

Well actually they are,at least some of them.I am a former boy-toy Know this by personal experience.I was 23 but smart and very mature.She was 43 and smoking hot.Met at the gym.
Two months later we were living together.It was awasome.It did not bother us much ,well for the rest of the closed minded population,just bite me.Happiness has no age requirement,age limit.Apparently this takes guts or something.Yeah it is called being free-spirited.

Hey Champ,

In regards to my energy, I am not speaking on a sexual level (although that is true.) I was speaking on a physical level in regards to going out dancing, swimming, things like that. I have never experienced sex with someone in their 20's and not sure if I would like to. I just can't see myself going out with someone younger than my 2 nieces even if it would be for just a romp in the sack. Sometimes older is better when it comes to that.

I get contacted by many "young" men ... mostly in their 20's to mid 30's. I am a young-spirited person ... and I look younger than my years ... but that doesn't translate to desiring "young" men. Young men ... (ie. more than 10 years my junior) ... just don't have the life experience ... the common interests, or the common future goals that I have. What's the point of getting into a "relationship" that you know you can never finish!!???
Pick on somebody your own age!! ...

I think a lot of young men have this dillusion that older women will take what they can get, because their "beauty" has faded. Think again Sonny ... ... older women are much more confident about themselves ... we don't care what men think of us ... we've paid our dues. We are looking for what WE want ... not what turns YOUR crank.

I have no problem with the younger ones who want to just chat and be friends ... I'm fine with that. It's when you start to believe you can rock my world ... there's where I have a problem.

There are plenty of fish in the pond ... and plenty in your age group ... stick to your own ... and leave this 40-something fishie alone! ...

I agree with some of the ladies that says older men does retire early to bed lol. They have a bedtime, I am talking about 50's and I know I am old but I still have a lot of energy that you could imagine. I have dated man on their middle 40's and we seems to be compatible when it comes to energy and going out at night. Some men who are in their late 40's seems to have the same bedtime, why is that? I guess it depends on the woman's energy of those who work out at least 3-4 times a week. I prefer younger man if they are attracted to me.

I am always out doing something til about 3am and then only sleep 2 hours before getting up for work at 5am. And I do this 7 days a week..lots of energy huh?
Whta gives with this energy thing, and wow someone likes to go to bed early. My god now it is becoming against the law to hit the sack early. But awesome to have minimal sleep.
I don't get it.
How is it that women in their 50's say the same things about men their age as women do in their 40's about men their age? And 30's as well. Yes I know here it comes...men say the same thing too. Ya ya.
Why not all the women whatever age only dates guys under say..35, and that way the men over 35 can get on with their lives, know they got nothing to offer any women, can save their money, save their time and spend both on themselves and not have to hear the bs?
Now I know why I have been single all my 30's...
