| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 11:21:03 AM | | I can say for myself I was 25 and I was dating a guy who was 22, and even tho we got A LOT of flack for it (just cause im older) we were happy. He was very mature for his age and the only reason it didnt work was because he was movin to Australia for a year and even though I was invited i had too much here to take care of. But we remain best friends, and who knows what the future holds. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 11:26:26 AM | For the record,to me "younger" is an age difference of at least 10 years. I agree with a previous poster: most of the time women don't date younger men because they don't have a whole lot in common - they aren't at the same "place" in life. Sure they'll go out with a younger man if it's just a sexual thing... but for a serious relationship, and if the woman is mature, nah. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 11:28:44 AM | | To be tactful, mostly it's because there is not much in common with someone who is not closer to you in age... Secondly for me, a man doesn't even know how to make love until he's 30+... Food for thought ;) | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 1:10:54 PM | I dont like to generalize but imo older women tend to want to do more than just get pissed out of their brains and fall about stupid....not that there's anything wrong with that, its just that they've been there, done that and got the t-shirt to show for it...
Hope that helps. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 3:24:03 PM | sunshine 30- you are right- and there are some that never learn how to be a good lover, no matter their age!!!and most will tell you how good they are- but when it gets right down to the nitty-gritty -i was fortunate to have one good lover in my life and anyone else will have a hard act to follow- and he was 13 years younger that me- | |

| i know why! Posted: 9/14/2005 3:31:01 PM | | kcehc siht tuo!!!!lol.......women who are mid aged and older are from a different generation, thus representing a population consisting of women who are demanding and fighting for their independance in not only the workplace, but the excape from the traditional family role.... but since women have changed and men haven't... my generation and younger suffer from theretardedness of people from this generation.....which has resulted in the divorce rates at 80% and the derprivation of family values........and the lack of time spent with kids,,,is being righteous that beneficial for our well being..my hats off to the baby boomers...lol. they know whats up...hopefully we all can learn from these experiences......otherwise we are just retarded | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 4:15:25 PM | | I tend to date younger men mostly because of my energy level but there is a limit. My last boyfriend was 33, I am 46, he was cute, we had a lot of fun waverunning and dancing but if you are looking for more then just a good time (which I am) there is too much of a gap to have that much in common. Take children for example....women my age have children who are grown or almost grown. If you date a younger man he almost always wants children. Sorry men, been there, done that, it is time for me now...........smiles. Also, they are not financially secure like women and men our age. We all went through rough times when we were younger, it is time to enjoy the money we have made working all our lives. Hope I helped a little! Have a nice day. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/14/2005 4:37:04 PM | | i am 30 i think a guy should at least be an age to make legal binding choices. i think 22 is the youngest i would date. and then he would have to show a lot more maturity than the average. guys who's idea of cool fun being playstation all day like my 30 year old ex should not apply. (he'd crack me up demanding manly respect with his mother money, a bowl of cereal, in one hand and a video game in the other) | |

I don't think this is the case. In fact I think that men have changed as much as women have.
In our parents generation what did men look for in a wife?
1) Able to have children and raise them 2) Able to maintain the household
Now what do men look for in a wife?
1) Someone that will look good on their arm
Why this shift in values all of a sudden?
Because our generation is much more narcissistic than the previous.
This is part of the reason for the skyrocketing divorce rate.
How/Why did this happen? | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 9/15/2005 9:01:33 AM | | I think when I'm older, if I'm not married or whatever by then(which it's not looking good for me--basically everyone in my town is married except me. haha), that I would like younger guys...partly because I fear getting old and it would probably make me feel younger. And with the immatirity issue...I've met alot of men older than me who are immature(like all my exes--most of them were a few years older and all were extremely immature), and younger ones who are mature. So I don't think that age necessarily matters when it comes to that. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 7:05:37 PM | | to me 19 yrs old is a boy.. not a man yet....I raised my boys, in fact still working on it...Sure don't want to date a boy..at 46 I'd say you want a man lol | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 7:16:42 PM | really, the only thing a much younger man can offer an older woman is good sex. there is no way that a 19 year old could actually have a serious relationship with a woman in her 40's.
hey di you'll always be a star to me. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 7:17:28 PM | I don't think it's a matter of older/younger when it comes to maturity... geez,I've met middle -aged men who act like 12-year-olds! I'm okay with younger men,to a degree...If they have some degree of maturity and intelligence. To me,anyone over 30 is fair game! | |
|
| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 7:23:18 PM | i agree over 30 is fair game, lol, just don't call me mam and we will get a long fine, lol! honestly i can't see myself dating anyone younger because it would just feel way too creepy, i have a son who is 14 and i want a boyfriend not a buddy for him! But for some reason i get tons of emails from 19~24 year old guys and none from the ones in my age group 30~40! | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 7:32:05 PM | | i think a 20 year old can try to act more mature, but they just can't cut it when it comes to life experience. when a woman has been around for 40 years and the guy has only been here for 20 years, it's kinda hard for him to understand where your coming from, cause he wasn't there. when you were 20, he wasn't even born yet. it's not a fault, it's just reality. | |

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 8:51:03 PM | I used to shy away from younger men.... but I let my guard down one day to a very sexy mature 25 year old latino, and have never looked back!!!
It is all about maturity and that can come at any age... I don't make a selection based on age.. but I have to say, there are many men my age that seemed to age faster?

| Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/9/2005 9:02:24 PM | bomber; this is just one older woman's opinion, Ok? You are 19, you have a lot of experiences to go through, and older women have been through your stage. We know how things change many many times until you get to say.......my age of 57. I think older women feel that besides the smirks, behind the back ...talk, that you or any young man will grow into another stage and grow tired of her. I know that you say you are tired of girls your own age......but I don't think that feeling will last. Besides....bomber....as sexy as we still think we are, keeping up with a man your age.....holy moly guy....never mind, can't finish that. I'm sure you'll find an older woman, if you really desire that experience, but it will just be a bit more difficult. Good Luck!! Katlin | |
