It's not different than what women have been doing for years and years. Many people are in denial of the fact that they arent 21 anymore. Why else would all these people go around saying Im 30 or 40 but look 25 or whatever....everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder about their age and desperately want you to take them as "younger".

It's ok. It's their choice.
I am sure it's not all women who are like that.
There are still some who will date someone their age.

I am 40 and I am looking for someone 40 to 47. Although I get more e-mails from younger guys. I guess I am old fashion.

"Older" men have a certain mystique and aire of having really lived which attracts me to them, over younger guys, any day of the week.

Nope, not me! I find myself lecturing these guys at work. My sons are barely younger than they are!

Many people are young at heart ~ where they are 25 or 55. ~ They have more in common and just plain fun with people like themselves. ~ There are exception of coarse ~ You see a wild wife and relaxed mature man. ~ IT works for them. ~ He is her anchor ~ she sees the need for an anchor and She keeps him amused and life is never boring.

She'll run far ~ he'll go get her. ~ They live that way.

It could be reversed.

I liked Stalone's Rocky character, ~ explaining his love for Adrian ~saying. " We both fill each other's gaps and make life complete. "

Many of us are stuck on the age thing ~ I understand it ~ age is a funny thing ~ as a child. I grew up in family and town setting ~ with many aging men and women all around me. In my home, at school, at the store ~ trips to town ~~ " Boy, you are growing like a weed " I must have heard a million times. ~My parents being young, at 1, mom was almost 19 ~ I spent much time with old, and really , really old folk as mom and dad ran and played !

But when I married and was raising children, ~ the last batch anyway ~ They never been around older folk in their whole lives ~ I was very surprise and shock to see how the appearace of old folks upset my children so. ~ The children didn't know what to think ~ about these "old ugly " people.

Of coarse ~ I don't see the ugly ~ but the children did!

and so it is with people today ~ if they managed to grow up ~ never dealing with or seeing or loving the ancient ones ~ ~ they are very put off ~ by the effects of aging.

I had an Uncle that made it to 99 ~ his ears were huge! and his eye lids sagged and folded outwards making for a strange sight. ~

The good thing was I got to see Jeffy ~ grow into an old man ~ for when I was small this was not the man I knew.

People must have points of reference ~ void of reference ~ old could imply any age.

I hope my experiences offered some understanding on matter of age.

as i type this, i'm seeing a man about 52 announce he just got married to a girl who looked about 25-30ish???? cuz another one last year just like her rejected him, so he went all the way across the usa to get another version of her? he is in good physical shape but is insecure about his finances, and he even admitted he didn't want a "heavier" woman (girl), yet he picks these young overweight ones who might be thinking clock ticking????? maybe he thinks he'll be dead before she grows up enough to realize what she's done; i dont know. i just don't know how or who grown women are supposed to date, when men within ten years of our ages are doing things like that

My thoughts are along the lines that 20 years ago women needed a man to take care of them. Today we don't. We have our own homes, good jobs, and know where we are headed. We are of the mind to choose someone to have fun with. I find most of the men my age and older, are not that much fun. I will not hesitate to date someone 10 years younger. Maybe some day when I am old and no fun anymore, I will date someone my own age. But I'm sure there are plenty of others who will totally disagree with my thought process.


And there you have it ~ when she's old and not any fun anymore ~ She might consider some old fart. ~ Now that would offer a man some comfort ~ as we older men wade through all these wealthy widows and 55 year old singles.

After all ~ "It's all about the fun! ~ right?

I know such women. ~ Every things for sale we just haggle over price.

That accounts for many here I suppose.

yep it all started thanks to the invention of Botox and plastic surgery. Women can now appear to look like their in their 20's, when they are actually old grannies.

I like men my age or slightly older--not 20-30 yrs older, though. I can usually relate to people in my generation.

the change you have noticed is due to the lessening of sexual taboos in our culture. as a woman's sex drive increases as she gets older, and without the pressures of society judging people's sex conduct, there's nothing holding a woman back today for getting involved with a strapping young lad as before.

of course, as far as long term relationships? that i dont see increasing between older women and younger men. maybe if the guys are much more mature. but i think people in our culture mature even more slowly than years past.

as a guy, yeah i still like to play with 'girls' but the margin in maturity is a turn-off to me for anything substantial. its hard to relate to someone who hasn't had as many life experiences as you.

really comes down to sex vs substance. and whether or not the younger person is only younger physically but already fully matured mentally.

When you find someone exciting and fun, someone you have something in common with, you are drawn to that. No one wants to be with someone who has forgotten how to live.


Sharzi, you've hit the nail RIGHT on the head!! I just love how automatically, some people have been saying that a woman dating a younger man is just fooling herself, trying to feel younger, etc., etc. Personally, I had no intention of dating younger, but found the guys my age and older had WAY too much baggage, were SO set in their ways that anything new was a thing to be ignored or remolded to be the way they wanted it to be (including myself!). If I had to go out with one more guy that listened to the classic rock station, played golf every weekend and whose idea of great sex is missionary or just a bj.... Well, you get the idea. I'm not saying that every guy my age or older is like this, but so far, that's all I'VE come across.

Totally UNintentionally, I started seeing a guy almost 10 years my junior, and it's been great! He's intelligent, insightful, knows how to laugh, doesn't feel the need to go overboard to impress, obviously feels comfortable in his own skin, is curious about the world and not afraid to admit he doesn't know something. When we have a difference of opinion, it's a FUN debate, not a "oneupmanship" contest. We appreciate the same styles of music. And both of us are excited about trying new things. And as for the intimate portion of the relationship - !! We actually enjoy each other's company on SO many levels.

So, you know what? It COMPLETELY depends on the personalities of the people involved. Personally, I have a great life. I have a career that I love, my own home, I love my independence, and apparently, I have a much younger mindset (and appearance) than the friends my own age. I keep myself in shape and I expect the same from a partner. And - no, it's not really about chronological age, it's about mindset. I want to be with someone who DOES know how to live, and does so with a passion!

Whew! Ok, that's my rant for today!

I don't know if I agree with this thread in the first place.....My mother went for a man considered to be quite older. My father was 8 years older then her. And then there's me. I tend to look at younger men...There's something very weird to me about being with someone older. To me it's almost like being with my father and that's just wrong!!!!! lol

Funny, I found that all women have "too much" baggage LOL! ~ but it comes with the package.

Love me, love my dog, flees and all!

I had a wife once that kept two ( well really much more) things ~ and they followed us everywhere we went for 11 years. One was a huge pickle jar, full of tightly folded up love letters and the other was a brass trash can that was filled with rolled up magazines that she stuck Peacock feather into. ~ I'm sure it looked great when she first constructed it, 20 years prior. But the years had taken their toll on these feathers, it was a point of contention as she lorded over her feathers. Many times, I threatened to hang a dead fish on the wall. LOL! As least I didn't have to look at the pickle jar, it kept hidden in a closet.

and children, ~ talk about baggage! ~ one 45 lbs child can owes 600 lbs. of stuff, easy!

a 9 lb. child owns over 200 lbs. at birth. hehehehe!

But that not the same baggage you speak of, ~ and I do understand what you mean. ~

I'm going though something that's odd at the moment. ~ Ugly wives and jealous husband's! There is a good reason that single men don't need to associate with married couples. ~ The women with emotional baggage and desire for some kind of control won't allow this mix match fellowship to exist very long. Before you know it some man is defending his wife honor. ~ It's really quit comical to watch, as two men pound each other over a double bagg'er. All the while she's loving the attention.

Baggage ? ~ it comes at you in many forms.

But yes! Men have their baggage too! His love of women being his biggest.

who's life would you live otherwise?

Perhaps you are saying, ~ I "might" invite someone into my world?

That's the way 95% of of women are ~

a man is invited "in" or he's not.

Rare does a woman enter into a man world.

Who's life would I live otherwise? Well, when younger, I made the mistake of living the life of the man I was with, losing my identity and self respect. I'm older and wiser now. I've learned that you have to like yourself and be who you truly are to be content. And simple acceptance isn't enough, you have to EMBRACE it, IMO.

And, I really think that it goes both ways as far as being invited in. I think it's just human nature to be cautious of who you let in to your world. And what's wrong with that?

Okay guys/girls,
there is a physiological explaination for this so to speak! With the level of education in todays society, more and more women now know that men are in their sexual peak in there younger years. Furthermore, women reach their sexual peak somewhere from the age of 32 -35, and are as earlier said, "Extremely Horny." Now, I am not just saying this with no back up, I am a health care professional and we are taught this in our course of education about Maternal/Pediatrics. I realize its about women having babies, and about lil children on up to adults. But it also teaches us the growth and development of both males and females. Personally, I am a 48 yr old male, and I prefer women in their thirties and older.
