| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/15/2007 9:40:13 PM | Could it be that men of the same age or older are becoming ..... stuffy? I want to feel alive, and usually older men just make me think that I'll have to bury them one day...  | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/16/2007 6:27:56 AM | I still prefer older men--life experience can be very sexy--along with the patience, maturity and abilities that come with that---however each person is unique-so I try not to close the door on any options. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/16/2007 10:58:52 AM | I think its just the women you've been interested in... I personally like a mature man, who's a few years older than me. It's not a sexual thing, its more of an accomplishment thing, education, experiences in life, maturity, and where they want to be in their future.
I prefer someone with older children, or none at all, and most younger men and men my own age are looking to start families. I am looking for someone I can enjoy what we've both accomplished so far in life, who I can plan new goals, and enjoy the finer times with...

as my girlfriend said to her husband when he asked what i would see in a younger man "honey are you telling me if you were single and a 20 something girl wanted you, you'd turn them down?"
They maybe great for one night or a few nights, but I can tell you from personal experience that they're a massive pain in the backside when it comes to long term. Being in the club industry I get approached... a lot by younger women.
I've learned that it's better to date closer to my age, but that's just me. There's no substitute for mature affection, and wise understanding... No. Not even a flexible energetic 20 year old bombshell in a short skirt and a thong can really satisfy that sort of desire. Their smooth skin and perfect curves usually come with a whole lot of self worth issues and social petty drama.
I actually enjoy the company of younger women over older most of the time though when I'm out clubbing which makes the whole thing awkward. I prefer hanging out with younger women primarily for the same reason one of the previous women stated. Women my age are usually pretty damned dull. I wok hard, and I party just as hard. I stay out late and I dance until my legs give out. I've yet to meet a 30 + year old woman who can keep up with that, so yeah
I'm very very single, and likely to stay that way. I'm ok with it I guess. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/16/2007 1:40:57 PM | Must be the life expectancy tables...
I'm kidding, but actually it is true to some extent. Would be nice for him to stick around for awhile once I stumble upon him again... don't particularly want to go thru this adult dating thing again in 10 years! The biggest reminder of my own age is my daughter, or the reality check that my older sister is approaching 60 (!) eeeek! otherwise, I just don't think about it. For the most part age is just a number, maybe sways some of our fond musical tastes and a few more life experiences have honed our skills, but it isn't as relevant provided a person keeps themself healthy and active. I've always found myself attracted to men a bit younger, maybe up to 5-6 years because we share more of the same activitiy interests or someone right in around the same age because we have the same type of collected memories. Seems as a men age (30's to 40's, entering 50's) they have a more even temperment and are better aware of how to please a woman - more inclined to want to get it right this time around. Then again, I know I've gained patience and tolerance along the way too.
Didnt read thru all - at this point, 5 - pages of the thread but noticed somebody back on page one quoted the 21st century as that of the cougar? Hmmm... last time I checked, there was only a tiger in Chinese astrology, no cougar. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/18/2007 3:16:27 PM | I am 35 and I prefer men in the late 40s or early 50... simply because I love the matureconfident man.. and usually the sex is sooo much better... | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/18/2007 3:32:46 PM | Well, as for me..I'm not looking for someone 10+ years then me. I'm looking for someone close to my age, so we can share some of the same music, etc.
I think I know why women are looking for younger men though, men who are 10+ years younger than other women, they haven't been burned too many times, they haven't been through...so much crap like people who are in their 30's. I don't know but that's my opinion. I couldn't date someone that young but to each his own, right?
Age really doesn't matter but you do want to enjoy life w/ someone who will relate to you and I find men who are around my age have experienced many of the same things I have experienced. Even bad relationships.
That's my opinion.

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/18/2007 3:35:36 PM | Oh yeah...one other thing I didn't point out...maybe, younger men makes that woman feel younger. I'm sure that has something to do w/ it.  | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/20/2007 8:36:56 PM | I was very surprised how many younger men have been contacting me- here and in real life- I know i look young, but not that young!  | |

What if you never liked the music of your own generation? 
Also, if you've never married and have no 'baggage' to speak of, going for a younger partner makes more sense. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/22/2007 7:54:20 PM | | I tend to want someone at least 5 years older than me. I tend to do all I can do to push him up on a pedistal, help him improve - kind of be his assistant. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/22/2007 9:18:12 PM | I am in my forties and enjoy dating 'mature' men in their thirties to late twenties for various reasons. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy the company of a man my age and older, but I find younger guys healthier and more stimulating.
I am a very adventurous on-the-go type female and dating older men can be a bit boring for me. Most just want to wine and dine you for a night or two then the rest of the dates are sitting on the couch watching television. "Let's just snuggle, Honey". Well, I don't want to snuggle; I want to go out dancing or do something lively and fun!
While enjoying my single life I will continue to date the younger males, but I know that the man that I form a lasting relationship with will be closer to my age (35 - 45 most likely.) I have more common interests with men in this age range and they're not all pooped out to still enjoy living life and make passionate love. | |

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/23/2007 4:43:57 PM | For me, I like to date women that are 7 years younger or older..Anything more and there is a generatation gap..
since I am 34, I am very over the whole going to the club drinking till my head hurts. Yes, younger women can do this night after night with no problems..Except one day they will just as old as I am now and they too will feel the same way as I do now. It's the same crap night after night.
There is so much to do then hitting the clubs night after night...That is why I like women that are around my age. I would rather get up early and plain something while watching the sunrise....Ie. GOLF. Younger women don't see that as fun.
The more and more you hit the clubs the more you will age and you will look older the you are from putting all that junk in your body....
As for sex, let me just say..women in there 30's rock!!!!....they know what they like and know how to please...the stage fright thing is out of the window....Sex is way better in my 30's then in my 20's .....I hope it get's better when I am in my 40's

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/23/2007 6:20:51 PM | Wow, this thread made me think. I never dated anyone younger. They've always been older, and in some cases, significantly older. I don't rule out younger guys - it just hasn't happened.
I am now interested in more of a "range" than an a younger/older type of situation. I can't imagine dating someone ten years younger or ten years older for that matter. Five years younger or older is good. It's nice to be with someone who has had similar childhood experiences, etc.

"As for sex, let me just say..women in there 30's rock!!!!".

| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/24/2007 11:44:14 AM | Well, I think women go through mid life crises as much as the men do - I shouldn't talk, the actor I currently like is Japanese, talented and only 25 - but, it's a thing where I think we know we're getting older so we try to recapture our youth by dating younger men.
I haven't had much experience with dating and the main man in my life for a few years was my age, but I did see a lot of women with men twice their age as well - and the first thing you think is what I mentioned above, but you have to consider that if they have a woman on their arm that is 30+ - it might be for something other than money. Sometimes, it's the father figure. I know that's weird, but I've seen that too. Where they want to be taken care of.
So it's a bit of both. It's true, though, I'd prefer to date someone more my age, less complicated. You date someone younger than yourself and they are still looking to set up their futures. You date someone older and they are already settled and don't want to start a new family. So you have to pick the right path for you.
Just my two cents Presca aka Kim

|
| I am noticing a trend in women over 30 Posted: 12/28/2007 2:16:13 AM | Because we can.
And because younger men (born after...oh say 1967) generaly have a better mind set about women's sexuality and roll in a relationship. | |

I'd have to agree with that too. | |
