do men in their 20's and 30's prefer 17 year old girls better than older women?

I'm curious on something. Do men in their 20's and 30's prefer 17 year old girls over women who are older? I have heard from some men that they would rather be with girl who's 17. They go absolutely crazy thinking about it. Why is this? Better sex? Better feel? To me a girl at that age is a girl. She is not a woman yet. She's still innocent. My daughter is only a few years younger than that. I'd be horrified if a man took advantage of her. Do men view it that way too? What are they thinking? I'd think a man would want to spend time with and even have sex with a real woman. Someone with more experience in bed and in the world. Let me know how other men think of it.
Thanks!

It might be exactly that innocence that attracts men. It's fun to be the dominant one sometimes. Then again, it's also fun to have an experienced woman who knows what she likes. I tend to bounce between one and the other.

Personally I find the thought a little disgusting. Had a friend whoes 15 year old daughter was "groomed" by a 30 year old guy. They could not date because of the parents disapproval and threats to kick her out of the house if they did but that did not stop this guy from waiting until she was 18. They got married and she pretty much cut contact with her parents.

There is no way I would consider dating a minor. The youngest I would approach is probably 21 and she had better be darned mature for her age. I have always observed that women between the ages of 16 and 25 are boarderline crazy. There are some exceptions I am sure.

I would rather date a woman that is 10-12 years older me than a woman who is 10-12 years younger than me. I probably wouldn't date a woman under 25 yrs old unless she is very mature for her age.

Well its the innocence that attracts most men. Not me, yes I have my age range set at 18 but I'm only 31. If its ok for a woman to want to date a 20-30 year old in her 40's then its ok for me to want a 18 year old. But I do want a mature woman, at 18-25 its less likely to be mature but its still possible. I was mature at that age. So if its possible for me then a woman can do it also. When it comes to the sex part someone with more experience can be more fun . I agree with that 100%.

I've dated younger girls in the past.

For one thing, it depends on the girl in question, as well as the guy. A friend of mine, who was 18 when I met her, was dating a guy my age (31, back then). I never met the guy, so I had no idea what he was like, but I could definitely see the attraction to her; she had a poise, intelligence, and maturity *far* beyond that of a typical 18-year-old, and she was stunningly beautiful to boot. If I were single, and were she, I'd have asked her out myself. We used to spend lots of time talking about everything under the sun. Also, she absolutely refused to date guys her own age because, in her own words, mentally they were still children.

For another thing... well duh, younger women are (usually) more attractive.

For a third thing... and this is kind of a personal reason... I've met a lot of women in their '20s who were embittered against men because they had a lot of bad experiences early with immature twits that just wanted to get into their pants, or mistreated them in other ways. It's sickening - so I used to attract a lot of younger girls because I wasn't like that. I always felt it was my "responsibility" to let younger girls know that they don't have to settle for a jackass simply because they don't know any better and assume it's the best they can get. So I'd treat them well, and they'd fall for me.

I have to say, though, that I prefer someone on my level both intellectually and maturity-wise... and you can't put an age on that. Simply look at the forums if you need further proof.

Now, let's flip this around a bit - why are so many older women dating younger guys, and why doesn't anyone think they're pedos? It's just the guys that are sick for liking fun, energetic, youthful, attractive people, right?

I love reading the BS answers men give trying to appease you women.

Here's the truth. Sex is a primal act. What turns men on will vary, but certainly for some men young females are more attractive then older ones strictly for sexual attraction...not a relationship. I think the taboo of underage even adds to the excitement.

This certainly isn't true for all men, but a single mom with a young daughter at home and is dating should keep a motherly eye on daughter no matter her age.

As a male that is in his 30's, I can say no, I would rather have someone who is 25-40. I want someone that has had some life experiences. At 17, they are still just kids themselves. Not saying I wouldn't be flattered if one came on to me, but I don't think I would accept (and since I'm talking about stuff that wouldn't happen in my lifetime, could you throw a million dollars in there too).

It's a nice fantasy, but not for me.

If I wanted to be a teacher, I'd have my B.Ed.

A woman my own age over a girl young enough to be my daughter for me, thanks.

Thats pretty gross. I think theres a certain amount of guys out there that go for that just to take advantage of a girls lack of real world knowledge. I'm 24 myself, be 25 in a month, and I draw the line at 21 maybe 20 if they have a good head on their shoulders, and thats a big maybe. If you're in your 20's or 30's and have to resort to picking up high school girls then you might as well just call it a day and accept the fact you're at the lowest point ever.

To me a girl at that age is a girl.


If it's just about sex, then I actually consider the women in the 20-30 year old range as "girls". There is a reason that the women my age have the drive they do,,,ummm,,, and we would call that experince. You have to know your body before you can enjoy it. Of course pretty hard to tell some men/boys when they are 20-30 years old that, cause they are on a learning curve also. You can't stop dreams and fantasies, but as soon as reality hits, she's all over but the crying.

Not me. I have nothing in common with an 18 year old or even a 25 year old for that matter. Besides the fact that an 18 year old doesn't know their own body yet (sex isn't the greatest) gimme the older gals any day

Well its the innocence that attracts most men.

You mean "alleged" innocence....trust me these days, that's a total fantasy - most aren't THAT innocent after like, 14. So what else ya got?

I think more boys under 20 are innocent than girls...not by choice, of course.

Well,
For me, I'm 19 turning 20 and I wouldn't consider dating someone who's like 30 because to me that's to old... I mean if you think about it he was 11 when I was born... so the highest I would probably go would be like 25 maybe... I think the reason older guys are attracted to younger girls are there innocents, and ability to be manipulated... well not manipulated per se, but we're easily more swayed then women who are older, have been through more relationships and are able to say no that's not right... plus... who would want old man balls... sorry...

I remember when I was that age and being pursued by a few older ones. Personally, back then I thought they were losers. I mean, what kind of guy that's in his 30's wants to hang out at the teenie hang out? It was pretty obvious the guys there were playing the "I'm cooler than the other guys here" BS. I wouldn't have anything to do with them. At my current age, I'd have no problem dating an older guy that is many years older, but when a teen, I assumed there was something seriously wrong with the guy.

No matter how you try to view it, by "society's" standards they are still kids. I'd also say the same for any woman that pulls that. In fact, I'd find it MORE abnormal for an older woman to chase a teenage boy than an older man to chase a teenage woman due to how we are socialized.

Once one is 20 years or older, then as far as I'm concerned, anything goes. The OP was talking about a 17-year old which is still very different from a 20 year old. At younger ages, the learning and maturation increases at a much higher rate than when older. For example, there's a world of difference between a 10 year old and a 20 year old, but nearly no difference between a 40 year old and a 50 year old. The 10 year difference between 40 and 50 is about the equivalent of a 2 year difference as a teen.

Ummm I have a hard time relating to 21 year olds and I’m only 30! LOL

I have two little step sisters 17 and 19. I think the guys saying they want a girl that’s 17 probably have not been around a girl that is 17 since they were 17!

I mean really. My younger little sis (the 17 year old) is a smart mouthed know it all pain in the ass. (just like every other teenager) Smart as a whip school wise but still from what my step mother has told me she puts her boyfriends though hell! LOL

Yes innocence is a total fantasy I agree with you. But like I said later in the post if you read the whole thing that its not for me I was generalizing. And yes boys are more innocent than girls and not by choice.

I think some men might prefer younger women, but not girls who are 17 yrs old. That would be too young for many men and in some cases illegal. I think women in their early 20s to mid 20s would be a more ideal target for 30-35 yr old men who prefer younger women. Yes there are also some men in their 20s and 30s who would date or prefer older women. I'm 40 and I get plenty of attention from younger men.

I don't think these men are looking to talk to these girls...that's sort of the point.

Vixen -

First of all, girls at that age tend to have worlds more experience than their male peers.

What kind of relationship are you speaking of in your post? Sexual only? Sexual and emotional? Mixed pairs figure skating?

If we are talking about only sex, I see nothing wrong with the dynamic you set forth...provided she is of legal age in their locale. Younger women tend to be in better physical shape, untainted by the effects of childbirth, and possess more energy.

If we are talking about a relationship, it can be 'right' or 'wrong' depending on the beholder's point of view. The obvious questions that arise are:

How would they relate?
What would they talk about?
What would other people think?

I find this an interesting statement:


I'd be horrified if a man took advantage of her.


How would you be so sure the man is taking advantage of her (or any girl that isn't your daughter)?
Again, this is all subjective, and the above quote is your take on the situation after being shot through the prism of your life's experience.
