Are you willing to date a younger man?
Posted: 7/3/2009 7:02:20 PM
A previous poster, who is the same age as me (28), said that he thinks his age is a problem.
I think he might be right. Women in their twenties want someone "hip" and "cool", and I'm not. I think women in their thirties are more likely to write me off from the start because they automatically assume that, because I am young, I am probably just looking to "get some."
Am I right? Is being younger than the woman your interested in a huge detriment to your chances of her being interested in you?

Wish I could give you a difinitive answer, but from personal experience, it completely depends on the woman and her mindset. I've always dated younger men, but have friends who could never date men as young as I do.

Don't talk to her about age. DON'T bring up age AT ALL. The minute a guy starts telling me that he's mature, or "old enough" for me, I'm headed out the door. I enjoy the fun, the life, the energy of a younger man.

If she's like me, the years just kept going by and we forgot to go with them. We don't need to be reminded of that.

I have had lovers who are younger than me but not relationships. Funny you post this today since I was just contacted by a younger man (12 yrs) who just wanted sex chat. I am not saying that is wrong or bad, but that it is usually the way when a younger man wants to fantasize about having a cougar in his bed - I am woman, hear me roar! I am no cougar though.

OP,
I believe that the majority of the posts will state something to the effect that it depends

on the age difference and upon the individuals. Since it has become more accepted

for women to date younger men, I believe that there is still a lot experimentation going

on out there in that regard (with both men and women). I have dated younger men, and

personally, I find it better to date someone within roughly 5-10 yrs of my age, either

way. Of course, there are always exceptions.

Skyzeus, you're an excellent writer and appear intelligent. However, you and I must have been born on different planets! It is incredible how different our opinions are concerning the female psyche.....and I'm female. So now I guess you'll tell me I'm a man in a woman's body.

I usually end up dating younger men.
Hard to find good men myage for some reason. At least ones looking for relationships. But age is irrelevent to men. I date who I'm attracted to.

I'm open to dating younger but not too much. It depends on compatibility: similar life experiences , values, life goals....i.e. I'm not looking to have kids of my own - so if someone younger is still looking for that - , it's moot. This is actually the biggest reason why I don't date younger men often. If someone has already had children or has decided not to, then it's okay. It's interesting how many men who want children still want to date - duh. Why would I start a relationship that I know for a fact is going to end.

Sky -I don't know what you're going on about. When I was younger, I dated guys my age and they certainly didn't have power and money.

So you are looking for a cougar! Trying to do some sexy growlllll! Okay not working. lol

As always depends on lady, interests, and etc.. You don't really know what age of person you match with. All in personalities and attraction.

Ohhhhh! Ahhhhh! fireworks going off in my neck of the woods. Not for you but for real!

Have a good 4th!!!

I think women are just getting wierd. The ones that are my age don't like me. The ones that are older than me want something to do with me. Maybe I should lie about my age?

Am I wiling? I *prefer* to date younger men. I mean slighly younger than me, not way younger becasue I think it's safe to assume we're in different place in life if the age difference is too significant. In fact, it just so happened that I never dated anyone who's more than 2 years older than me.

"Skyzeus"...............you talk such a lot of CRAP on these Forums.


<div class="quote">Women are attracted to evidence of Money Power and Fame
Ive NEVER been attracted to any of these things and neither have any of my girlfriends.


<div class="quote">she then will pursue the young man for sexual sport and to bolster her self esteem.
Please refer to my response above.
Same.

I would really HATE to live in YOUR world and view it the skewered way you do,
Just sad...........

Nope, pretty much in love with a younger man at the present. I have been in love with older too. It isn't the age that you fall in love with, it is the person.

I think women in their thirties are more likely to write me off from the start because they automatically assume that, because I am young, I am probably just looking to "get some."

This is why I take my time with people. I do not rush to meet anyone. My guy was the exception... but that's because he proved to me very quickly that he could behave like a gentleman and treat me as such. I got a message late last night (around 1030 pm) on here from a younger guy who wanted to hook up. That had wrong written all over it. For soooo many reasons.


Is being younger than the woman your interested in a huge detriment to your chances of her being interested in you?

Not necessarily. For me you have to prove you can behave and treat me like a gentleman. If you can't carry on a short conversation with me without it turning into *you have great tits* or *I wanna cum all over you* or *what's your favorite position/do you do anal*.. *GAG!* Puhleeze. Yes. I'm a sexual being. Yes. I enjoy sex. Do I want that to be EVERYTHING in my relationship? No. If you can't stimulate my mind and show me your big brain, then I'm not interested in anything else you might want to show me. Sorry.

I date younger. I've dated a few older. I prefer younger.

No more than 5 years younger. More than that and we have so little in common, and it seems weird, like I'm dating the kid I used to babysit for.
