Younger Men Dating Older Women: Is Age Important?
I asked the question, do men care about a woman's age. From all the research information I found the answer seems to be, no! As long as she takes care of herself and looks good. Age is something only women worry about. To a woman the appropriate age difference would be say 5 years difference. But look at the dating sites and the profiles of the men participants. The age preference is usually 18-50. The women's profiles usually have a ten year range.
What would be the reason for a younger man to date an older woman? Older women are most secure and confident with themselves.They tend to be more mature and settled and usually more financially secure than their younger counterparts. Young women tend to be clingy and insecure, childish and self-centered. Now I'm not saying all young women are this way. In the dating setting, men tend to go for older women because this seems to be the character traits of the young. To a man of any age the most attractive thing about a woman is her confidence.
I speak from personal experience on this subject, as an older woman myself. I have profiles listed with the social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace. And I get emails from young men 18-20 years old all the time. I don't even have to open the email to know what it says anymore, it's always the same thing. It says" Hi my name is-----, do you like younger men? And I'm not the only one. So there is the proof that men do not worry over the age factor when it comes to dating.
The thing is that a relationship isn't defined by the ages of the people in it. It's defined by the feelings of the hearts involved. I have known several older women/younger men couples and it seems to work out just fine. There are a lot of men who are mature at 25-30 and are ready to settle down and be in a long-term relationship. A very close friend of mine was in a relationship with a guy ten years younger than her. She's 55 but looks like she's 40. Young men come up to her all the time when we're out together. She is gorgeous for her age.
What about Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, she is a beautiful, mature woman. And he is a very mature younger man. Perfect example. So to all those beautiful older women out there, this is the prime of your life and it is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest!

Post a CommentThis discussions on cougar relationships often involve reinventing old ideas. When this poster was in his 20s, he dated older women & women his age & a little younger. In his 30s, he married a woman his age & after his divorce in his 40s, he dated much younger women. Definitely like the younger women. If old women who date young men are cougars, then old men who date young women are lions. What is often not discussed in cougar sites are the cases where men marry much older women & are then later found to be fooling around with younger woman. Know 1 case of a woman who is married to a man 11 years younger than her & her husband was later found fooling around with a 20 year old woman in a motel room. It maybe because the man isn't sexually satisfied with his much older woman. It has just been my observation that men who marry cougars hit midlife crisis alot earlier-in their mid 30s rather than 40s. Just something to ponder.
The "experts" say males hit their sexual peek 18 - 20 something and females in their 40's, so used to be the young guys (believing this) sought older woman. Many younger man told me the young ladies do not cook or did not want to have children. Those guys often looked for an older female who cooked, a single parent they could play dad to. I have been approached by men close to 40 years younger than myself and I much prefer men in my age range.
I've often said that there are two traits to attraction; confidence and vulnerability. Love looks for the first, since love is about the heart, nothing else. Those who criticize age differences aren't thinking about that, they're thinking about the physical only. How we look at this subject reveals a lot about who we are.
