It also depends on the backgrounds, some younger men in their 20's have fought wars, some have been married, have children and divorced, others have run their own companies or have had a lot of responsibilities, SOME still live with their mommas (avoid these). So it depends on the age gap Madonna is dating a 23 year old guy-----I say GO MADONNA!! I have dated guys as young as 27 that were much more mature than a guy at 47, so it depends on all the factors. I will say this, many young men want to date much older because it isn't really "dating" they are looking for, but someone to "pay for things" and have sex without worrying about getting serious because they always can back away and say" what did you expect from me? YOU ARE OLD!" Yes I have heard that before! But dating men my age has been difficult because too many just are no longer bothering to keep themselves in shape or pursue women, are stuck in the past and can't learn new things or have fun. And do not keep up to date on attire, music or grooming. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/15/2011 6:41:29 PM | | I find the ladies responses interesting. Older women constantly complain, make fun of and even start forum threads about older men who date younger women. I (like most older men) don't care if an older woman see's a younger man but the older women, who criticise older men, seem to have no opinion here. Their silence is defining. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/15/2011 11:03:16 PM | It can be great but it is not really dating when there is an age difference. It works when neither one wants a committed partnership.
If it is for sex mainly, that works. I would not be interested in any guy over 45 no matter how old I get....I have been with guys 15-18 years younger but at the end of the day there is not a lot in common except bedroom activities, usually...
I think the same comments are made with both sexes when there is a clear age difference... it is assumed that the older one is buying the favours one way or another of the younger prize. Men are more likely to have the trophy younger woman for ego reasons...

| older women younger men Posted: 11/16/2011 3:49:34 AM | | Eww gross going out with someone who was 18 years younger than you. Why would dude want to date someone who could look like their mom. | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/16/2011 6:22:43 AM | | anyone who ONLY dates people decades younger who freely admits not having anything in common outside of the bedroom would have a pretty boring existence outside of the bedroom..very shallow. I wouldnt want anyone 20 years older OR younger. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/16/2011 8:26:34 AM | | ive had my boy toy and not from this site - i do not regret it in the least we still talk once in awhile the sex was awesome!!! | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/17/2011 8:42:22 AM | There is nothing wrong with dating someone older than you are if you are happened to be a man.
My last girlfriend was five years older than me and I cared less.
The problem is not with the couple but the maturity level. Both of us acted like we are in 40s, but at the same when we went out both of us knew how to have fun as if we are of my age or younger.
The dilemma is today we still live on hypocritical non existent standard where everyone expects a man to more mature with age thus he seemed more intelligent and alpha breadmaker, but in reality modern man today is all about education, maturity, and confidence. My ex's ex before that was 40 year old man who was Car salesman and total drug addict. They broke up because he kept trying to mooch money of her until she found out what he really used it for (he kept hiding it since he didn't want to know for the fear of losing his job).
Age have no real matter in this. Maturity of a partner does regardless of age. You could have a Man-Child in his 40s who still lives with his parents and being deadbeat or 20 year old with full time job that pays middle income salary who just recently bought a house.
Society just needs to grow up and realize that values we have today are completely unrealistic since they are based on traditional old relationship schematic of man being the musculine type, confident society alpha leader and a bread winner when todays we have the situation as stated above. In fact today's women in more cases make more money that a man who is more mature than them. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/17/2011 1:44:26 PM | Ambrose85,
Thank you so much for you post.
I think those who have the unrealistic views are more acceptable, at least to me, than the women who think using younger men as a piece of meat is ok.
It is seriously not the age that is important but the person. My boyfriend is 20 years younger than me but he is a very hard working, very successful, intelligent man. Im not with him because of his age, I am with him in spite of it! | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/17/2011 4:05:00 PM | I see nothing wrong with it, age is only a concern if you make it one, if you care enough about each other then who cares.
I was with a woman 10 years older than me for over 10 years.
Also my nephew married a 50 year old woman when he was 20 her children were about the same age as his parents and he quite happily became an instant grandad. they are still happily married and she has just recently celebrated her 60th birthday. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/17/2011 4:15:14 PM | | Been there. Wasn't really a relationship. Just friends. She has a live in boyfriend who gets drunk on whisky, beats her up and is unemployed. She's 52. Carries his dead weight around. We made out a few times, only when she was "vulnerable." She'd spend some nights at my house after being smacked around. Yet she says she's "devoted" to him. So, I finally gave up and quit wasting my time with her. Why should I drive all the way out to her place to rescue her when nothing's gonna come out of it? What's the point? Where are all the normal women who know when to leave? And she says I'm "psycho" after helping her all these times. Wtf. She's a very private person, and I can't live like that. Grr. Women. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/18/2011 10:23:01 PM | | I'm going to say past a certain age, the younger man/older woman might work, but only if there's not too much of an age difference, and both people are looking for the same type of relationship, either long term, or just looking to date. I wonder if it would be safe to say that most men are looking to settle down in their late 30's,but not before then. I tried dating someone who was 6 years younger. but don't think I will be doing that again. It was clear he was only after one thing. Definitely time to up the numbers on the lower end of the age range! | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/19/2011 2:46:18 AM | Tried dating and even a couple of FWB situations with younger men and it was a disaster so was against it for me personally but I've never minded what anyone else does. Mind you I was unsure about FWBs situations at the time too.
Then a guy I met on here that I said no to dating but became friends with, took it a step further about 9 months after we first met and it was awesome. That's made me reconsider, so I'm back to being open minded about younger men for me as a FWB situation, not sure if I'd consider taking it any further and try to make a relationships out of it.
The different between him and the others was not only did we have great chemistry and attraction but also lots of common interests, great communication, we got to know each other better and there was mutal respect. I never noticed an age difference between us on any level.
I'm also after a long time being single, developing an understanding and appreciation of other types of relationships rather than just long term...still want long term, but learning to smell the roses along the way... | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/24/2011 1:52:56 PM | interesting question but more interesting that you ask it in an open forum are you looking for permission? or an excuse to NOT do it? It's time the double standard is shot down... Older men with younger women? We know what that's about... the men are clinging to their youth and the women like the money.
Older women/younger men? Now that's hot. Older women who are interested in younger men are usually called cougars. But that is not always the case. A true cougar is not just an older woman interested in younger men. A true cougar is an older woman who is independent, intelligent, financially and emotionally secure AND likes younger men. That is hot. And it's too bad that popular opinion is so misinformed by the media.... news and tv... we are not desperate housewives!
If the younger man is just that... a man, not just a big boy (mentality and emotions count), that's a great combination. I happen to love their energy... their zest for life and their interest in going places/doing things.... finding excitement.
Someone mentioned older men…. Well, I am sick of older men acting like… well… old men! Get off the couch… pushing buttons on the remote is not being active. Spending all your ‘free’ time at a bar isn’t being active either. And that spare tire you carry around is not only not funny it’s not healthy and it’s definitely not attractive. I want a man who is actually active… I want to go dancing, kayaking, scuba diving, go-kart racing... hell, introduce me to something new and exciting! Younger men do this. Someone else said it.... he needs to be able to keep up! lol So yes,,, even that is a good match…. younger men in their prime…. older women in their prime… when it develops to that point…. who would complain?
I don’t know about the rest of you older women… but I don’t care about “popular” opinion. I’ll date whomever I want to. So I hope the younger men who find older women interesting, will be confident enough to act on it.
Oh, cowboy… that might have been me in that line… you should have asked me to have coffee!!!! | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/24/2011 7:25:28 PM | i would never, ever, ever in a million years waste my time dating a younger man. honestly, what is the point? men prefer younger women anyway, and that is just a fact of nature. why a woman would get into a relationship with a younger man is beyond me - it's a complete waste of time.
ladies, the younger guy will eventually want to have kids, and if you can't have kids, then the relationship will end. also, once the woman starts to show her age, the younger man will leave. | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 5:02:09 AM | if the man is 30 years old and the woman is 45 years old... i can understand
but to me... two individuals have to be on the same level... do you want a family? what is the future?
personally i would not do it... only if the person is younger within 5 years...
sexual relationship is wonderful... there are no strings attached | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 5:03:59 AM | Larissan04.... i totally agree with you
look what happened between Ashton and Demi... Madonna and Jeniffer Lopez...are both immature woman | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 5:05:15 AM | | I've dated older women my entire life. I absolutely adore them! | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 5:05:38 AM | I have no desire to be with a younger man.....in my experience younger men either want a maid, personal secretary, or worse yet, their mommy.
My answer: either you truck your happy a$$ back home or hire it. either way, it isn't going to be me!
I don't have time to raise a little boy. | |
|
| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 12:55:24 PM | I've been that woman twice - ten years younger - excellent! And I was asked out by a 23 year old a few months back - I was 47! And he meant it! x

| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 1:11:11 PM | I enjoyed a fling with a 36 yr old woman who was a secretary at my old work place. I was 22 at the time. I still fantasize about older women and I am 29 now. If the attraction is there, well go for it. Now I do have mixed emotions about it though, for instance the fifty year old man married to the 16 year old model. I saw the interview from daytime television giving their view on it and I was not personally offended by it but with the standards society has instilled in me made me feel offended. But I am more ok with it than not. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 1:50:47 PM | I agreed with jayne0927 ,I have tried to relate to guys my age and older but they want slender younger women ,They don't respond and when they do they say I am not their type,Yet I get messages from 40 to 50 years old guys wanting to sweep me off my feet and they don't care about my age .and it's tru they make you feel great  | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 7:20:01 PM | I posted a similar post under a different area (asking guys) because I was having some issues understanding this because it is occurring with my mother. She has gone out with a couple men up to 20+ yrs younger (yes, younger than me) and it bothers me some. A difference of 10 or 15 years I can understand but once it gets that big of a difference I don't seem to get it although I am trying really hard to not be close mined. | |

| older women younger men Posted: 11/25/2011 7:48:58 PM | i would never, ever, ever in a million years waste my time dating a younger man. honestly, what is the point? men prefer younger women anyway, and that is just a fact of nature. why a woman would get into a relationship with a younger man is beyond me - it's a complete waste of time.
The point is that not all men prefer younger women, and some of us don't consider it a complete waste of time to date younger men. If it's a waste of your time, I can respect that, but please don't make the same assumption for all women. One of the restaurants in my town has "Cougar Night" on Wednesdays, where they offer drink & dinner specials to women over a certain age and men under a certain age so that people who are so inclined have a place to congregate and meet other like-minded people.
ladies, the younger guy will eventually want to have kids, and if you can't have kids, then the relationship will end. also, once the woman starts to show her age, the younger man will leave.
First of all, not all men want kids. I know several men from young to middle aged who have had vasectomies because they made the conscious decision to not father children. Secondly, for those younger men who do desire to be fathers, women can and do have children later in life; as an alternate solution, there's adoption and surrogate mothers if it's not safe for the older woman to carry a child full term (this happens frequently to young couples who can't conceive too, so it's not an age specific issue.) Thirdly, many younger men already have children, and don't necessarily want more, so in some cases, it's a non-issue.
In addition, the older woman/younger man scenario doesn't necessarily mean a huge age difference. For instance, I dated a man 8 years my junior, we had plenty of things in common, amazing sex, and he was more successful and mature than several of the men my age and older that I've been out with in the last three years. He didn't want kids, but if he had, I'm still within my childbearing years, so it wouldn't have been an obstacle for us to overcome.
In a nutshell, all I'm trying to say is that it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind, and two people who find compatibility and happiness should be left alone, regardless of age. | |
