When i was 25 I dated someone that was 38 and it went good. I did think about what my friends thought, at first. We hid our relationship. But after a bit we settled down, and she met all my friends, and later my family. Sure i got poked fun at a few times, but it never bothered me, because i was happy. She moved and had tight finances, so she was without phone and internet for a while. After that we just lost touch with eachother.
But while we were together it was good. Keep looking crazycurlz, you will find the one that is for you.

I think the older women that they love are already taken, I've not seen to many older women that are available who have taken as good care of themseves as you obviously have. since I've been divorced most of the women that I have enough in common with to consider dating have at least been a couple of years older.
p. s. even the ones that are a couple of years younger have let themselves go physically

Most men know that they have a great girl right in front of them but they are to scared to fall inlove. Falling in love with that person and being in a committed relationship would men big changes in their lives and most young men like their freedom and independence in other words they like their fun time. Another reason could be that some of us women expect to much from men and it scares them away. I find older men are more mature,know what they want and are ready to settle down. you will rarely find a young man wanting to settle down.

last year when i was 38 i met a 53 year old lady from POF , we had a couple of coffees/coke and a snog.

tho it didnt go beyond that one "date" we still text and e-mail each other.

i thought she was fit and gorgeous and a sexy dresser and why shouldnt she be because she was 53.......in the end she said i was actually too young tho i fancied her and had nothing to do with her being older than me.

[Why? When we can date someone many years YOUNGER than ourselves and keep the loin fire burning that much longer.
Why?...Because you older women are OK to f*ck...but by and large are aging, damaged goods. ]

WOW Vitiate,
This is my first time, on any forum, I usually just read them, although after reading this one, I had to get my 2 cents in. Your reply was not only Rude it was Crude. I have dated younger men myself, and my age and older also. I do have my limits that I stick too as far as age.
However the question was asked by a 34 year old woman, that is hardly aged or damaged goods. I would love to correct you on your description of Older Men. Men age quickly too, and they also become saggy, not to mention the Huge Pot Bellies and Wrinkles happen to both sexes.
You call that distinquished?? If a man or woman does not take care of themselves, its pretty equal, as it is if, they do take care of themselves.
However women can perform much longer than most men due to problems you males have that females don't have. Which is if its not UP its not working! I Strongly feel that it is Highly Probable for the her to find some man that can fill her needs and I Wish Her the Best in her search.
Yet, I have to say that your response spoke volumes about You, as a person. Not only are you Rude, you have no CLASS at all. That is something that money cannot buy, and I think that your going to find it hard to find any woman, who would want a man with such Disrespect and no Manners. You also are lacking in Maturity, to even go where you went with this question. So I can assure you that you would not be of any interest to any women that I know.
Its the whole package that counts which is level of intelligence, maturity, chemistry, and the whole attraction to a person. Many men that are your age are matured, way beyond you, to make such a Comment as you did. It just wasn't Nice at All!! That is also part of attraction to someone, how they treat other people. I also want you to know that not all Cougars put out much more readily. That is a Total Misconception on Your Part. Go ahead and Throw Your Darts Back!!!!

It's funny you should say that. I have tried dating an older lady and it appeared she had a problem with me being so young. She didn't want to be catagorized as a "cougar".
"Cougar" is an american term that refers women who prefer much younger men. When she introduced me to her friends she got a funny look. So it seems to me to affect both sexes. Personally I don't worry about the chronology thing. If we connect spiritually, physically and emotionally all the rest of the stuff is minor.

Cheers HopesAngel, Vitalgoof err whatever the hell he fancies himself called would never GET a cougar or anyone over the age of 20, hell with that attitude hes lucky to get the insecure teenagers, even they would smell the wretch for what he is, which is obviously the case as they don't put out for him as his posting clearly stated, wonder why!

Holy, some peoples children. I am sure his mom is real proud of him cause she must be damaged goods too she has to be over 34, damaged in what way oh I dunno for carrying around that poor representation of the male gender for 9 months popping it out and wiping his ass for 10 years. Hope he doesn't kiss his mother with that mouth!

i dont think age has anything to do with it...heck my brother is years older than me but still partying like he is 18 and sneaking out from our parents. It has to do with maturity. Us men are suckers for women who are confient and sexy and have something to say.

Thats cause your an older guy

As it goes for us youngins, first it falls on the line that males usually just want a friend with benefits, you can take em out to eat and all, but when it comes to a 20 year difference in age, most aren't willing to settle down with an older woman because one, your going to die a lot sooner than him no offense. Two, if its getting to the point where you can't birth children, your no longer really a prospect, we are mammals after all.

The easiest way to see it is either you play the cougar, or you settle down with someone closer to your age. Or you get really rich and use it to get some youngin to marry you (F0r the money.)

Sadly it appears that most men do not want to date a woman their own age or older
.
Personally I find this to not be true. I honestly tell men how old I am because I know it will make them more interested if they know I'm older.

As for the original statement, I date men in their twenties just for "fun" because that is all men in their twenties want. I have had a few who wanted a relationship but my take on that is that its ok now, but 10 years down the road I'll be old while he will be in his prime and then I'll be alone, so no relationships for me with anyone under 30, just "fun".

When I was 20 I wanted to have s e x with 30 year old woman... now that I'm 30 I want to have s e x with 30 year old women...

When I was 25 my thought process would have been... "man, I'm 25 and she's 35... when I'm 40 she's going to be 50... not cool!" So in short, at 25 sex would be fine, but I don' think I would have ever dated someone around 10 years older then me.

To be honest? I think it may be the type of guys approaching you OP.. You give off an aura of great sex..please don't take that wrong, but from your other posts, you come across as sexually strong, and definitely opinionated. On this site, I think that welcomes younger men that want to 'learn'. I've had many that have tried to convince me to date them..yet I'm not comfortable with dating younger men..I'm of the mindset that I have more to learn, and want a man older than me still... Does that make sense? I think the men on here have maybe read your posts, and are thinking..WOW...The things she could teach me.... instead of...WOW, this woman is fantastic... I'm sorry if that came across badly..I surely don't mean ANY insult... I'm a big fan of your posts!

I am 37, my ex wife is now 48.
I loved her but we moved our seperate ways.
I love older women and want to be in a serious long term relaitionship again with one.
But if she isnt older and satisfies the criteria below then thats the same to me.
Age is not and never has been a factor to me.

What I learnt so far about women older than me::
They know what they want.
They have generally been played or seen others being played so they don't do it.
They know sexually what pleases them and arent afraid to communicate this.
They are more likely to be mature.
They have been round in life a little longer so they can see all the bs for what it really is.
See my profile and you will see I am not the type to go for the lovely packaging, but instead love looking for the small things that mean a lot.


Mick.

It depends on the age difference. Plenty of men would date a woman that is 8-10 years older than him. I think most men wouldn't be interested in LTR with a woman that is 20 yrs older than him. She could be fairly attractive and have a great personality, but they might not have a lot in common with her or they might have different long term goals. Therfore they think that a LTR wouldn't work out. I happen to agree with that. I usually prefer younger men up to a certain point, but I probably wouldn't date a man that is 20 yrs younger than me either.

I would certainly have sex with a woman of any age if we shared a mutual attraction.

However, there is a simple answer to the LTR question.

If a 20 y/o man dates a 50 year old woman(I've seen it happen and have even had offers) they likely take into the account that when they are 50 this woman will be 80!

I certainly don't see that working out all that well.

It all boils down to how much the younger person is willing to commit and if the older one takes care of their looks/hygiene as they age!

I agree with what has already been said by most on here.

I think it depends on the men you are talking to. Depends on you and the vibe you give off and it depends on how much of an age difference.

I can tell you that for the past ten years I have always had younger guys hit on me and want more than friends or dating even. When I have asked them (or friends) they say they want an older woman who isn't going to play games like the ones their age. That seems to be the number one answer. Then there is the fact that older woman aren't as self conscious about their bodies, personality, lives, etc.

I am out of a relationship right now with a man who was 8 years younger than I am and I have had another relationship before that for six years with a man that was four years younger.

I've dated a younger guy before (six years) and while it was fun and all that, I just found him to be a tad immature.....ok a lot immaure.
He was a funny guy, great to hang out with and all that but at the end of the day he was not even close to being on my level in a relationship.
We still talk and remain good friends and have been for many years and he always wants to get together or reminisce about the good old days and all that but I cant see myself going back there.

This is not to say all younger men are like my friend or that if I were genuinely interested in someone and he happened to be younger, I wouldn't give him chance. I'm sure there are some great ones out there who are able to sustain a relationship and be happy with their partners, in theback of my mind though I often wonder if they guys dont use this as a learning opportunity to have sex with an older women in some semblance of a relationship and then go back to someone their age in the end.

IT's actually quite simple.

Younger dudes (early 20's) know that older chics (30's-40's) absolutely love sex and are hitting their sexual peak. They don't want to date them because...well, it's kind of weird.

Most guys will have sex with just about anyone, but are usually very select when picking a girlfriend.
