oh, I see why younger men appreciates older women, because we strut we do not run! Especially at the sight of a immature girl!

So, you're saying a 25 year old by default has different interests and intellect? Doesn't make sense to me.

The only differences imo between young and old is a cultural gap (things they grew up with) and outlook on life. I find a lot of older people (myself included) to be more cynical and pessimistic. But really, even those two don't matter sometimes. There are cynical young people who grow up listening to "oldies" songs and so forth.

I grew up in a family where a generation gap in ages was never an issue. And that was in both directions btw. I've got an uncle who married a much older woman, and my mom and dad were 14 years apart in age. The age difference was never a problem, since they shared very similar interests and even careers.

I myself have dated from both ends of the spectrum.

That being said, it seems a lot of older folks looking for younger partners concentrate too much on the physical, without considering the whole aspect of the age difference as part of the relationship. So, older men will often pick a younger woman based on physical attributes rather than personality, and vice versa... and that's where the whole thing falls apart.

To me, I put my age cutoff at where the younger women get closer to my daughter's age, or the older women start looking more like my mother. But that's a purely personal choice. I don't judge others who extend beyond those limits. Age IS relative.

This article says it all. I didn't put it all in as its very long but this sums it up as to why young guys hit on older women.

The Truth about Older Women and Younger Men
by W.F. Price on December 21, 2012

Now that more money is in the hands of women and more men are hard up and without a job, it’s likely that there will be more older female/younger male couples. However, rather than true love relationships, many of these will likely be some sort of gigolo setup or outright fraud. Unfortunately, I think fraud will come to be more the norm, because it offends a woman’s pride to support a man, even when it would be fair of her to do so.

The number of lonely middle aged women is getting to that critical point where they will be seen as resources to enterprising young men who are down on their luck. Anecdotally, I’ve been hearing about this for some time, particularly in regards to men who set up internet dating accounts, only to discover that the majority of interested women are five to fifteen years older.

this being one of 2,536 threads covering this subject has had over 900 replies and is more than a year and a half old...

and still going strong!








(thank goodness for the idea of live and let live)

i guess guys get mature faster than girls thats why 20's guys like to date older women lol.. i guess older women will know the real meaning of a relationship rather than young girls do

Actually; women mature faster than men. Guys in their 20s are just out to use an older woman for sex. Its not a real relationship; its just sex.

but if its just sex then they dont have to get into a relationship! i mean like he could just look for one night stand with any lady instead of loving one lady right?

I totally agree age makes a difference, after the sex with a younger person and after all is done just what does a person 50 have in common with a person 24? NOTHING!!!!!
