You'reasian Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Are there any powerful, wealthy men happily married to women their own age? I'm getting older and I'm wondering if men prefer young pretty girls. Also I worry that as a woman ages she just can't compete with a hot young women. Men are always drawn to the youngest prettiest girls. I notice this, it's sad but true for example at a party at a restaurant they stare at the youngest prettiest in the room. This prob sounds immature. But may have some good points. Looking across the ocean and across the borders, it is common for men (whether working class or wealthy) to take interest in younger, "pretty" women. Why? Women from other countries (in many cases) put more emphasis on security, stability, kindness and love - thus older men are seen to have more life experience, make wiser decisions (knowing what they like and truly want) and are seen as stronger partners in cultures that are more family oriented. They are also seen as the primary bread winners. Men do like younger, pretty women. Younger women are more fertile and the prettier they are, obviously the more men want to reproduce. The reasons supporting men with younger women are more primal, biological. Here at home, some men still operate in this way with these kinds of views. Women too - however, men also appreciate a woman who have the same kinds of life experience that they do, who can learn them and relate to them. The reasons supporting men with women their own age are more social.
The Collector Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Jersey Shortie, didn't you say you used to mostly date older men when you were younger? I don't understand how that was a fine choice for you, but reflects badly on the men.

CaliGuy Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Meh. With today's technology, older women can look just as appealing as younger. 1. Work out and stay in shape. 2. Get whatever surgery you want (facelift, implants, etc). There's a lady at my gym, must be in her early 50s but she looks smoking hot. She takes good care of herself, eats right, exercises a lot and can wear clothes that are hard for even 22 year olds to wear. She gets stares all the time at the gym. It's not impossible. It just takes discipline.

Men are always drawn to the youngest prettiest girls. I notice this, it's sad but true for example at a party at a restaurant they stare at the youngest prettiest in the room. This prob sounds immature. But may have some good points. I don't think men are "always" drawn to the youngest, prettiest girls. I know what you are saying, but you can't assume they are all like this. Some men date women closer to their ages, and others choose to date very young girls. Could you guys clarify for me what, exactly, this means? I don't really care if somebody has a bias in my situation because I am straight-up thrilled. But let's say - 43/yo male divorcee is interested in a 29/yo divorcee. I was previously married to a man 15 years my senior. This guy is one year closer to my age than my XH. I get along with him much better than any guy my age. Not to be arrogant, but I'm intellectually beyond most guys my age - I'm bored with a lot of them. I'm well-read even though I don't have a degree, I do a lot of research on my own. So while I'm not the classic bimbo going after an older guy...would you assume looking at the two of us out and about that I was "settling" for him because of his status/wealth and that he was with me because of my age/looks? We both contribute things to the other person that simply haven't been found in people of our own ages. I'm not getting into details much further than to say that this guy has a better body than the last guy I dated that was only a year older than me. I'm actually getting kind of tired of these threads. The generalizations are getting really old. But I AM curious where the line is drawn, in your opinion. Perhaps, as has been suggested by men in other threads of this type - part of the problem is attitude.

Sounds like you want a rich and powerful man in your life, no? The thing is, if you're a rich and powerful man, why should you date women your own age? you can date women of any age (as long as you're not pedo). But then again, it's kind of hard for a rich and powerful man to find real love. Isn't it? Women of course will chase after him, but those types are usually not interested in love. So it seems that the man might as well go for the best looking woman among them, (which might include a younger woman), since he'll probably never find anything genuine. I think the only good family men who are rich are the ones who fell in love before they became rich. I'm pretty sure single rich men have enormous egos which easily gets to their heads, and they treat women accordingly. But who knows, there might be rich men out there who aren't like this.
Jaytb Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Men really stink sometimes. lol, are you bitter about rich powerful men not dating you? Sounds like it since you're first response to this thread about powerful men is "men stink". I guess when there's a "supermodel women" thread that says supermodels all go after the richest men, I should say "Women really stink sometimes".
CaliGuy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 That sounds exhausting. It's always sad when women whose identity was wrapped up in their beauty, and once they felt like time robbed them of it, desperately do all they can to get it back. I don't see it that way. I see it as they should do whatever they want/need to make themselves feel happy with who they are. Who are we to judge?!
Isolde Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I do feel like there's a mentality that goes along with trying to mount the executive "hierarchy", that leads to these kinds of stereotypes. (I.E. the generalizations are not always true but they do come from some sort of empirical reality) But there are also rich and powerful men who don't fit into that mold and made their money in other ways, or weren't really motivated by money to begin with--I'd make an educated guess that they wouldn't put nearly as much value on the materialistic. But how does one even define powerful to begin with? There are many ways of being powerful.
Brady_to_Moss Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I am 20 and i would love to date a beautiful, sexy 30 yr old.
Hkizzle Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 If there's a misandrist on this board, it's you. Although, like misogyny, it mainly only affects the person with the grudge. LMAO, hahaha, coming from you, that's just hilariously hypocritical.
Lizzie60 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Are there any powerful, wealthy men happily married to women their own age? Of course.. probably.. I know quite a few wealthy men, married (happily? some are..) to women their own age... I know.. because I sleep with them... Seriously... I honestly think that MOST powerful, wealthy men have mistresses on the side... (young? not necessarily)... not all men go for bimbos with fake boobs..

Hkizzle Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I don't think you know what that word means. Which one? Hilarious or hyporitical?
Vet Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Which one? Hilarious or hyporitical? Neither, obviously...
Hkizzle Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Where have you been? Sorry Lizzie, I'm relatively new to this forum and don't read all the threads.
MadDriver Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Let's see here... Forbe's 2009: 1. Bill Gates 2. Warren BUffett 3. Carlos Slim 4. Lawrence Ellison 5. Ingvar Kamprad 6. Karl Albrecth 7. MUkesh Ambani 8. Lakshmi Mittal 9. Theo Albrecth 10. Amancio Ortega Are these guys banging fresh 18-year-old supermodels every night? I highly doubt it. For hot women, there is hardly any difference between 10 million, 100 million, $40 billion (Bill Gates). Once you pass the "rich" threshold, other factors such as attractiveness and youth start to matter much more. Those hollywood male stars are much "poorer" but they get laid much, much more often...

And how exactly do you know that..
MadDriver Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 And how exactly do you know that.. TMZ, US magazine, OK! magazine, the gossip rags... Back to the OP's question, she can easily bag a "rich, powerful man" if she doesn't mind adding "old, fat, and ugly" to the list of adjectives... I'm talking Warren Buffett old (79). See Anna Nicole Smith.
Sam Spade Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I am 20 and i would love to date a beautiful, sexy 30 yr old. Yeah, but 30 year old is not "old". It's just right - like a pear that is so ripe and juicy that it's almost rotting (but not yet) .
westernxer Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I'm wondering if men prefer young pretty girls. Do fish prefer water? LOL
Jersey Shortie Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Vox: Honey, I'm as gay as the day is long. You can hate on the menfolk all you want and it won't bother me none. -- I was just curious. Lesbian or frigid, jilted feminist? What are you getting your panties in a bunch over? My comment was to Vex, not Vox. And by they way, what does you being gay have to do with anything? Does sexual orientation now mean one's opinion is more valid then the other? Isn't it that kind of thinking that the gays are always fighting for? Isn't there some gay right marriage protest you should be attending? I like to look out for the gays. Vex: When all men are misogynists, that's about the time when you look inward at what's wrong with you. I never said all men were misogynists. I said that I believed you to be because of the attitude you reflect about women here. Woogle: Jersey Shortie should just date women or stay single if she is not gay. This way men would not have to deal with her misandry and she would not have to deal with men who she thinks are so horrible. Problem solved. Take your own advice Sweetcheeks! YOU are the resident misogynist. So please do not preach to me the advice you should clearly be taking yourself. On that note, I LOVE how none of the men here jump on Woogle, even thought he says some defamatory things about women reguarly. Jersey Shortie, didn't you say you used to mostly date older men when you were younger? I don't understand how that was a fine choice for you, but reflects badly on the men. I never said older men should never date younger women. What I dislike is the mentality that some men think that they are "better" for aging and women are "worse". THe idea is often that women are worthless and men get to be great well into old age. It's hurtful to see the way men think about women sometimes. We don't even get a chance. We are up on the choping block from the get go. I would never date an older man that *only* ever dated younger women. Huge red flag. Or thought I was "better" because of my age or thought he deserved to be with someone younger on lame justifications of biology when he wasn't being honest about his own biology. I don't think it's bad that older men would date younger women. What is bad is that if men are *always* looking to younger women, it pretty much is tellign women that men think we are worthless and only worthwhile based on our age when women NEVER hold men to that awful standard. Women sit here praising men for aging and men sit here condemning us for it. Why even try if that's how men feel about us. One day I won't be young anymore and I don't ant to be kicked to the curb for it or be with a man that is looking to younger women because he feels his biology is more important then a womans. That sounds exhausting. It's always sad when women whose identity was wrapped up in their beauty, and once they felt like time robbed them of it, desperately do all they can to get it back. Who said that just becaus ea woman cares about her looks that that is all her identity is wrapped up in? Being beautiful is being feminine. You don't reach a certain age and stop wanting to be a man. Women don't reach an age and decide that "that's enough with this beauty business. I don't want to be a sexual, feminine person any longer. And I can't wait to see men my age chase after women half theres! Good for them! After all, a man is allowed to have a worth that should extend mine. Men are better then women right? That's just "biology". Now where is that hole I was digging when I turned 20. I can now go crawl in it and die". If men identity us by our beauty why shouldn't we identify ourselves by that? I am really sick of hearing men say women are shallow for being worried about their looks but men are just being "biological" for when they clearly place a value in the way a woman looks. Cut us a break! We want to be beautiful. No matter our age. That doesn't make us shallow. It makes us women who still want to feel like we have our lives ahead of us, can have love and deep passion with a man and hope that he isn't instead wishing to be with someone half our age. Looking across the ocean and across the borders, it is common for men (whether working class or wealthy) to take interest in younger, "pretty" women. Why? Men do like younger, pretty women. Younger women are more fertile and the prettier they are, obviously the more men want to reproduce. The reasons supporting men with younger women are more primal, biological. I wish men would be more realistic about their own biology. When we come to this issue we always hear at least one or several men bring up "biology". The truth is biology is something that works both ways. When men hit 30, their sperm count declines and they are aging. If you think you are the only gender that is turned on by fertlilty, you are wrong. Biology doesn't favor men. Society does. Since most men made society, men try to buy into the wrong ideology that they can live forever and still be strong virle men. When the truth is that medical science has more recently been reporting the draw backs to having children with an older man and that men as young as 30 are already on a decline body wise and fertility wise. If we are going to talk about the epitome of vertility, lets talk about it around the block.
