manup Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 So to all the older women out there, say women in their late 20's and beyond, how many of you have had flings or dated much younger men? I'm seeing an eerie trend of certain women looking for LTR's but who have had flings with guys not much older than they're sons. It's creepy and it's one of the reasons older guy friends go for younger women.
HallowedBeThyName Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I never understood why it's perfectly okay for 45 year old men to date 21 year old babes but say a 34 year old female dating a 24 year old male is like a crime to humanity People are free to date whoever they want and there's nothing creepy about it 5
CarrieT Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 So to all the older women out there, say women in their late 20's and beyond Late 20s is considered OLDER? :confused: how many of you have had flings or dated much younger men? When I was 45, I had a 2 1/2 year relationship with a man who was 35 - does that count? I'm seeing an eerie trend of certain women looking for LTR's but who have had flings with guys not much older than they're sons. So? In my case, our ages were entirely irrelevant. It's creepy and it's one of the reasons older guy friends go for younger women. I think your logic is completely screwed up on this accord... How does one relate to the other? 1

Well in that case, that makes me pre-historic, thanks for that.... Underlined: Sorry. pet pieve. Had to correct it. ....Call it the 'stickler-for-spelling-and-grammar-grandma' in me. 1

Don't understand the double standard either

JesseJames Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 In the midwest US, 28 is looking like 48, soooo ya

TaraMaiden Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 All that sun. Moisturise and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
january2011 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I went one year younger and the clash of worldviews was too much. Don't know if it had anything to do with age though.
HallowedBeThyName Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I went one year younger and the clash of worldviews was too much. Don't know if it had anything to do with age though. pretty sure people don't change their views even in a matter of 4-5 years, much less 1 year. I doubt it had anything to do with age
january2011 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 pretty sure people don't change their views even in a matter of 4-5 years, much less 1 year. I doubt it had anything to do with age Well, it really depends on the individual. I still wouldn't go younger again.
CarrieT Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 No I'm talking about if you were with a 20 yr old. I wouldn't be. I have found that the women in their 40s who are dating guys young enough to be their sons tend to be on the blunt side of unintelligent; i.e., Not The Sharpest Tools in the Shed. I'm thinking Jerry Springer kinda dumb...
HallowedBeThyName Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Well, it really depends on the individual. I still wouldn't go younger again. Please read what you're saying. It's very very unlikely that an individual will have significantly different worldwide views in 1 year, unless they go through some sort of traumatic life event

Times are changing and so are your backwards double standards. Get used to it.

I am perfectly happy with my dating preferences and accept that they limit my dating pool. You're entitled to your opinion. We don't have to agree. I'm okay with that too. 1
TaraMaiden Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 In that case, it must be the alcohol..... Or the smoking.
JesseJames Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Right. Don't forget the daily trips to the Dairy Queen drive-thru with their little mouse-dog and thumb on the horn.
Ruby Slippers Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I'm 35 and had two light involvements with younger guys - one 26, the other 30. The experiences were mostly hot and rewarding for me. And they were in heaven. 1

I am perfectly happy with my dating preferences and accept that they limit my dating pool. You're entitled to your opinion. We don't have to agree. I'm okay with that too. Look if you want to exclusively date men that have different colored eyes and bright purple hair, it's none of my business. The point is that your logic is nonexistent here. The idea that people radically change their life views in 1 year is asinine.

And they were in heaven. A-ha! Feminism has taken a new form. The old gals will certainly abort if knocked up, poison the minds of our young men with old wives tales, and destroy the libido with wrinkles and stretch marks. Evil! Evil!

Get used to it. The difference is also that these women aren't considering these younger guys for anything but short term things. The older guy younger woman pairing often leads to marriage. Big difference.

The older guy younger woman pairing often leads to marriage. Big difference. More and more older women do. The ones that don't are afraid of society's judgment. I prefer younger men or men my age to older ones for sure, for relationship or sex. Not too much younger tho at this stage, maybe when I'm older lol
