It's not that complicated. Young women are generally better looking than older women.
Many women are jealous of anything that takes men's attention (and money) away from them.

Evolutionary biologists tell us that men's preference for younger women, and women's general preference for men older than themselves is down to reproduction. A 20 year old woman can find Mel Gibson and Seán Connery sexy. 20 year old men will think of a 35 year old woman as old!

Personally, I find women older than me attractive, even decades older, but I'm not looking for anything other than friendship over say 35. While I'm looking for someone from maybe 24 to 30 (I'm 31)

Younger women are better looking cause society tells you they are better looking...and the same is true about older men. Look at Clint Eastwood, hes over 70 and always stars with a way younger actress....media influences a lot. I personally think me and my friends are alot more attractive now than we were ten years ago, before babies and stretch marks, and before we knew how to tame the curlz.

My closest friends are at least 10 years younger then me... and to be honest I have women friends of varying age ranges and always have...most of the problems that I've had with women to be honest would be in my own age range.. that is IF I've had issues... and normally I know w/o them saying to act my age... quit wearing short skirts or ponytails are out of the question or so is long hair... but not many are like that... if a man wants to date a woman 5 to 10 yrs younger so be it, cause I date men 5 to 10 yrs younger on the average....but trying to get closer to my age...

My first reaction was to say that this was a ridiculous question and obviously a joke. But I sat back and thought about it... I can see why some women might feel intimidated by a younger woman. Perhaps they've grown with the misconception that younger is better, just like some women (and men) have the misconception that if you have a certain financial/physical/ whatever status you are better off.

Personally? I don't hate younger/older/skinnier/fatter/prettier/uglier women. I am so focused on who I am and on making myself and my brood happy that I have not time for comparing myself to anyone else and thus feeling inferior to (or feeling hatred towards) them. I think your friend needs a hobby - perhaps one that helps her feel good about herself, no matter what circumstances she finds herself in.

Just my honest opinion...

I don't believe that all women hate younger women. I have met women younger than I who were way older in their heart and personality than I am.
I think everyone is entitled to their own taste or opinion. Should it not be about the person, or better how two people interact? I have dated older and younger men and in some cases, the younger ones were more mature than the older ones. And the older ones eternal "kids".
BTW, I think it is a dumb concept to believe that it is natural for a man to want a less mature woman and for a woman to want a more mature man....WHY???

Do all women HATE younger women - well, that's quite the generalizing statement to begin with; and one that shows alot of insecurity and negative attitude.

For one thing, I don't HATE anyone and really don't like the use of the word at all - it's an ugly sentiment that we need to rid this world of. And secondly, I like women of all ages...some more than others!

So, in answer to this question, and in reading the responses, I have to say 'No, all women do not hate younger women'.

Namaste,
Cat

some people are just ruled by their own insecurities...this applies equally to both men and women. i've heard women moan about young bimbos who are all bubblegum and glitter, just as much as i've heard men gripe about hot young studs with lineups of women at their bedroom door. both see only competition, and they're ruled by their fears of not measuring up to a perceived standard. it's stupid really. some guys adore older women, just as some younger women lust for older men...and others prefer the reverse. so there's quite simply no rule of attraction that applies universally to either gender. as for all the insecurity and bs...ladies and gentlemen, you can't control the competition, but you can control your role in the game. frankly, you'll probably do better if you focus on yourself rather than on petty jealousies and assumptions.

First of all, I don't "hate" anyone. That's a very strong word that I can't relate to. Now, in answering the question, I like younger woman- and older woman - and same age woman. One of my best friends is almost 20 years younger than me -- and she could be my mental twin! I get along very well with younger women -- they don't bother me in the least. However, I think the key here is that you have to be secure in yourself and very comfortable in your own skin, which I am. Otherwise, that little green monster may sneak in and block your vision, and that's not a good thing in my opinion. I like to see people for who they are, not what age group/race/nationality, etc. they represent. I have been labeled a "people person" many times in my life...I suppose it's true...and I like it that way.

so given your statement it stands to reason that you're attracted to women in their 30's, 40's, 50's, maybe older....but it seems that you're unwilling to act on that attraction.

A 20 year old woman can find Mel Gibson and Seán Connery sexy. 20 year old men will think of a 35 year old woman as old!

older women are hot enough for a wet dream, but over the hill when it comes to intimacy and sex...*shakes head*...your logic makes my head hurt. lol

you're obviously attracted to all types of women...and all ages. what's holding you back from enjoying life without limits?

like i said earlier...the only thing you control is "your role in the game." sounds more like you're basing your relationships on assumptions about biology, what you think you "should" want, and what other people think, rather than being open to whomever you're attracted to...live in the moment and don't overthink so much. it's this exact 35+ is over the hill mentality that feeds the insecurities of women as described in the OP's post. so it's less of a matter of hating younger women, but rather a matter of hating how some guys perceive older women when comparing them to younger women.

hunny, older women are a whole other kind of animal...question is do you want a kitten or a cougar? we both have claws, and we both know how to use them ; )

Sociologically speaking, men usually date younger women as a power move...As being older you are generally better off financially and thus a younger woman is less threatening. It is similar to the same reason that you often see high paid executives dating lower food chain employees.


BS. You made that crap up. Do you have any evidence for either claim?

Most men date women because they are attracted to them, whether they're younger, older, or whatever. I have dated older, I have dated younger. I have dated peers, and people of different socionomic levels.

Your use of the term "lower food chain" is offensive, as if someone less well off than you are is - what? - beneath you somehow? What a crock.

Also: sometimes financial security increases with age, sometimes it decreases. It depends entirely on your own personal circumstances, not on your age.

It doesn't matter, if an older rich man wants to date a young woman or an older rich woman wants to date a young man (because yes, some women also consider younger men better looking. It's a funny thing how some men don't seem to understand that physical attraction can be as important to women, especially the no-pics) who gives a fr*g, as long as we're all happy.

Hey there

Actually, I have 3 sisters, 9,18, 19 years younger than me respectively. We all get on great, share makeup ideas, clothes etc...

Do I hate, younger women, absolutely not....

As to the age thing, my serious relationship was with someone 10 years younger than me, he looked older and everyone thought I was the junior one

At the end of the day, providing there is understanding etc etc and you are happy together the old adage younger gal, older guy is waayyy to much old hat.....

I hate an arrogant attitude in either sex.
Sometimes people measure themselves versus others in terms of age.

That's their problem, seriously.

Spirit is everything, no matter what age or sex, imho...

Why no.. sounds like your friend might be jealous that a younger woman would be more attractive, fun, slimmer, etc... Could be a hundred reasons. But, no, not all women hate younger women. Or, sounds like your friend might wish you were more attracted in someone your own age (her).


I think Krys has nailed it. I think your friend wishes you were attracted to her.

As for me, I don't hate younger women. I think they are delightful, fun and I admire their beauty.

As for men who prefer younger women. Good luck with that. I've had more than one conversation with a man who is confused as to why his sweet little honey is so shockingly immature.
