Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted: 12/24/2006 9:09:20 PM
This topic has been discussed before. And yes, as a much older woman, not quite as old as dirt, but close, been contacted by young guys my son's age...have one 27 and one 19. And when I has 48, got contacted by a male 18 years old. Sorry, couldn't imagine dating a young man who was the same age as my own young men who are my children. If I were, I'd date their friends. Yeah...I have fun hanging out with my sons and daughters and their friends but date them? Ummm...no. For myself, that much of an age span, there just isn't anything to build a relationship on, and I'm not at all interested in the whole sexual thing with a youngster. From my own limited experience, all those who contacted me, were so infatuated with my "maturity" and sophistication, yeah, whatever, just wanted a sexual experience with someone more experienced.
I don't judge anyone by what they want, if a woman my age wants to have that with a younger man, go for it. I wouldn't think any less of her for it. It's just for me, blekk...not gonna happen.

Maybe it just applies to women without children. But I am totally flattered by younger men. I find that younger men have their priorities figured out more so than when I was younger! When I was younger I dated older men but now they just seem so old and I am not ready to be that old. I am more than open to a relationship with a younger man but let's get real, I am not looking for a 19yr old. But I have had relationships with men 8 or 9 years younger than me. This may be where the good men are. Maybe I am selfish, but these guys seem to have less baggage and are maybe less tainted because they have not been burnt as many times. Women should take a look at this "Cougar" way of life. What better way to stay young than to date a younger man. And man, I hate getting older! lol

Actually, I prefer older women (older than me) than the younger ones. I can relate to older women intellectually, mentally, emotionally, and of course sexually. Older women are wiser, more mature, less likely to play head games or bring drama. They're more emotionally stable than their younger counterparts. The younger women tend to be immature, crass, obnoxious, snobbish, narcissitsic, shallow, callous, of course into head games and drama. The younger women are even in some cases neurotic and emotionally unstable. Older women tend to be less judgemental than their younger counterparts. Yes, I'll admit there are a lot of younger women that are hot and sexy, but they're just good for eye candy and that's it. It's basically all about them. The younger women are like that fancy European Sports car. Fun to look and maybe take out for a test spin, but you wouldn't want to own one b/c of the outrageous maintenance costs and other liabilities. In my travels I came across a women who was a couple of years younger than myself. I saw the guy next to her thinking it was her dad, but low and behold! It was her boyfriend. Yes, this guy looked old enough to be her dad. What is this girl thinking and what does she see in him. I mean she must have to pump lots of Vyagra into that over ripe banana. Ok, I'll admit it's a bias of what I wrote. But, at least I can admit it's a bias based on my own life experiences. Merry Xmas Everybody


See it is posts like this that just make me shake my head. Sorry but you are basically saying older men with younger women is disgusting but older women with younger men is acceptable. And even though admitting being biased, means crap. Why does it have to always be a double standard. These are comments why I think all guys heading to 40 and older who are single have no choice but to give up..or at least myself. Saying things like "Why is she with that older guy" is insulting. And why should it be only older women with younger men? Geez my guess is the grave is getting dug as we speak for me, just a few years to go and maybe it will be ready?
With all the insults thrown at us older guys it makes me believe ALL women over 35 are the same. May as well paint them with the same brush if all we get is that as well. But I don't, even though they do paint me with the same brush all the time due to my age.
Younger guys just want the sexual experience with older women is mainly why they chase them. And the no drama comment? Whatever, no matter a woman's age, they can and do have drama and are shallow. Age does not put people in a description catagory sorry. There are 24 yr old women who are shallow and 40 year old women who are shallow, there are 25 yr old women who are terrific and sweet and there are 35 yr old women who are terrific and sweet. Typical comments though on this topic. Always about how awful us old guys are, how amazing older women are, how awful younger women are, how amazing younger men are. I mean hell the women my age think they are 19 again, and seem to think that they need the ego boost to "out do" those young tarts as they call them. Give me a break. I guess acting your age is wrong for men but ok for women? Give your heads a shake. A guy says younger women are better he is a pig and dirty old man, woman says younger guys are great and she is praised...whatever, what is the difference?

well heres one to ponder on.. when i hit my early 30's a cuple of good firends and i were talking about the fact that men really arent ready to settle down while being in their 20's ... and i have talked with more people about this and turns out to be the general concensus that guys under 30 have to many things they want to do in life.. and if married or in a long term relationship they tend to build up resentments and hence failed relationships.. women need men that are mature mentally.. im not putting age as maturity as some people never grow up mentally no matter how old they are.. so your qestion as to why alot of women arent into younger guys .. thats the biggest reason...

^^^^^^^ In response to the post above me I wasn't making some vague over generalization about younger and older women. Nor was I bashing older men. I know that some younger women can be sweet and terrific blah, blah, blah, etc. I know for a fact that some older women can be immature, into drama, and be shallow, blah, blah, blah. I think it's asinine to say that us younger men chase down older women for sex only. That's a load of crap and you can take that with some toilet paper and flush! I have no probs with older men dating younger women. After all age is just a number. You're only as old as you feel. But, I do have a problem with this social stigma that older woman can't go out with younger men, but it's ok for an older guy to date a younger women. To me that's just a two faced societal double standard. It's not like the older woman is dating a little boy. Both are consenting adults. It's all about sharing mutual feelings for one another and that they're both happy to be together is what counts. What matters is finding someone who makes you click and who makes you happy period.

Question then. Why all the bashing towards younger women and bashing towards older men?
Why so many double standards and saying stuff like "Well you guys got away with it in the past" when we guys didn't, men in the past did.
Is this more a "Pay the price for the past guys" thing?
So women being set in their ways is ok? Men being set in their ways is not ok? Or is it women NEVER get set in their ways?
Are women not supposed to be accepting of change but men are and is why younger men in their 20's are more appealing because they are not yet on track say to what they really want in life...never said all guys so easy ok?
How many women when they hit their late 40's and get dumped by the young stud are going to scrape the bottom of the barrel and say "Ya he is ok" meaning a guy her age who she despised and bashed 5-10 years ago is now acceptable?
And ladies the days of younger women dating older guys? That is long gone..remember you were one of them in your 20's...so why bash guys for even considering dating a younger woman when you were one of those women back then who preferred the older guys but are now preferring the younger guys. Oh ya double standard...my bad...
I guess men not acting their age and not wanting to accept they are getting old is called being immature. But women doing the same? Oh not so right? Is considered being a woman and she can act any way she wants right?

Get a grip. Fine you want to date younger but is there really a need to bash the guys as the reason why? I mean what gives? If it is not having hot looks, not having a high paying job, having a nice car, having nice clothes, it is not being young now. Unreal. Women 40 are considered young, men 40 are looked at as old chumps. Nice and we are all supposed to respect one another with that description?

First of all, dude, 19 is not all that.

I thought I rocked at 19. I thought I had all the moves and knew exactly what to say. Man was I wrong.

The truth of it is that most men are immature, inexperienced, irrational and extremely jealous at age 19. Sadly, many men have those characteristics until the day they die.

But, the point is that an "older" woman wants a man who is relatively stable, has a career, knows how to control his emotions, knows what matters in life and also knows how to please a woman in the bedroom.

As far as the bedroom goes, at 19, all men are concerned about is how many times they can do it in a day. "Older people" simply care more about quality.

Then, there's personality, which is usually what any woman of any age will judge you on first. And, with that in mind, I would take some grammar lessons, stop using street speak, buy a Speak n Spell, quit referring to women as "birds," and lay off the yelling and swearing.

Regardless of where a woman comes from or how old they are or what they are into, they deserve respect. If you present yourself to women as you have presented yourself here, you are showing them no respect at all.

I totally agree with Lastresort.

Iowapaperboy...You've said it all and on behalf of us older ladies..."thank you".

For example, I got an email from a 20 year old not too long ago and all it said was..."Hey Baby...let's get it on". He sent a photo of himself slumped over on a bed, like he was waiting for me... NOT!!!

Wow..what arrogance! I guess he feels he is at an age where he thinks he has all the moves and all he has to do is write an email and I will be there.. "Respect" isn't even in his vocabulary or he wouldn't have sent me such a ridiculous request..kidding or not.

**babydoll** why is it that 'young guys' think that us 'older women' seem to want to 'get it on' .... because we're at our prime? Okay, maybe we are but the key words iowapaperboy mentioned were maturity, stability and respect....

I'm not 'dissing' young boys, I just prefer men! Yes, it's 'flattering' when a young boy/guy turns his head (on his shoulders) my way and likes what he sees, but it's even more flattering when a mature man does too. Romping is fun, but so is being romantic and I don't think the younger guys know how to romance a mature woman.

I've taught my 9yr old how to treat a young lady and that's with gentleness, politeness and sensativity...he's grown up (so far and God willing) to be doing just that! Hummm he's also been 'looking' at the older ladies too lately....we'll need to sit down and talk about that!

Maybe, try to get to known the person. First, they may find that being younger is just a age, and it not the person inside. Yes! alot of younger men, act childish and imature. But they will attract childish and imature little girls he he!

If she is older, and she doesnt want to know. Then she is not the one for you!

I wish you all the best!

I bet in the next few years there will be tons of men who are single in thier late 30's and older and will be that way for a long time. I can only see women when they hit around late 40's start to want guys in their late 30's and 40's then. So there may be hope for us yet. Who knows. But right now? Not a chance. I think you will see more and more older women even leaving their husbands and boyfriends too for younger men. Sort of a "Pay the price for the men in the past who did that with younger women"
My advice to those men out there with no luck. Give up and don't bother with them. They will eventually come around when they start to get dumped by the young guys when the young guys say they want to settle down and maybe have kids. That will be when women in their late 40's and older will figure guys their age and in their 30's are acceptable. Who knows maybe not?
Like I have said in other threads on this topic. Why bother competing with youth? No way can I do that. Let the young guys have em all, they deserve them more.

thank you..that song keeps playing in my head now


As for the question I have never found the appeal of a young man and ever since I can remember I've always been into older men..a man is like a very fine wine..he only get's better with age

^^When Bella hits her 30's I will bet she will go younger. Just my guess because that is how it seems to go now. To be a guy in his 20's has to be amazing when it comes to dating. Having such a wide age range to go for is just unreal. I envy you guys big time. I wish I could go back 10 years.

Ok, so here's my take.

Let's look at puppies for a minute.....they're SO cute....fun to pet, roll on the floor with, they lick ya and it's so adorable.....they chew on your fingers and play and play and play....so sweet when they're sleeping and you wake up in the morning to find they've peed on the effing floor!!!!! No one REALLY likes to train puppies....cute for a while and then ya realize they are SO much work.....

I have many guy friends who are i their late teens through their 20s. I just would never think of them in the romantic relationship category. We joke around, hang around, I guess they are more like little brothers to me. I am in my 30s and just couldnt think of someone that young in a sexual fashion.
Sure, many of them have nice bodies and are super intelligent. Someday, I hope they make a great girl really happy.

By golly ... I think you've got it!!! LOL

I also get hit on by much younger men, of course
I am flattered, sheesh, however, I find "older" men
(above age 35) know better ... "what a woman wants"!

I prefer a man who is "trained" as to "needing training"

"Quality, not Quantity"!!!

I guess it depends what you are looking for ... I don't
want any more kids ... and I'm not just lookin for ...
hmmm ... sex either!

I'm not so sure the problem is older women and younger guys....I'd just want the guy to be able to put a sentence together and spell correctly (or at least close!) Most 19 year olds don't have the life experiences to keep the interest of a mature lady, but then again, if your just interested in a quickie, there are probably several that would be available.

Some of us are done with the whole partying scene well before our thirties. I admit I had a short bit of partying relapse coming to a new country, but quickly stopped when I saw what a waste of time and money it was. Pretty much though, since my junior year of college I realized their was more to life than hitting the bars.

I know I'm not as mature now as I'll be in my forties, (at least I hope not), but besides leaving my appartment a little messier than even I'd like, I can't think of much of what I do that's immature that an older woman would have a problem with. I do have student loan debts which are an unfortunate product of my age, but I send in several hundred dollars every month, and hope to have those completely cleared in ten years or less. Meanwhile I'm building up my pension fund and resume, so although there are some financial negatives in my case, I'm sure there's quite a few forty year old men that are in worse shape.

Oh and Im 26 just in case you don't feel like clicking on my profile.
