Does it look bad for women in their early 30's to date guys in their mid 20's?

[spanishchick00]

Lets say a 33 year old woman goes on dates with guys that are 24-26. Should this even be allowed? Or are people disgusted by it?

I think anyone who gives a **** probably has some issues they need to work out in therapy in something.

 

If it's two consenting adults then who cares about their ages. Only crazy control freak types get bothered by what total adult strangers are doing willingly with each other.

 

Some younger guys strongly prefer to date women older than them, though, so it's not freakish or anything, if that's what you are really asking. I see online ads for it from younger men all the time.

 

Some younger guys think older women (defined as older than them, I see everything from 30s to late 40s in their requests) as sexier in a purely superficial way. Some of the guys say it's because they perceive that older women know what they want, which they find to be very attractive in attitude. Sometimes it's both.

 

Younger men who like women 20+ years older than them typically refer to the women they like as "cougars" which seems to be defined as older women who are sexual, playful and adventurous and on the 'prowl' for youthful men.

 

For some of the younger men they seem to want women in their 30s specifically.

 

But yeah see this all the time. Never assume the mainstream stereotypes as facts. The anonymous internet reveals all! Haha.

Well lets see when I was 32, my then BF/ husband now, was 26. Never had a problem with it.
