I'm seeing a 35 year old guy and I just wanted to know why older guys like younger girls? I didn't know how old he was when I first met him, and didn't have a problem when I asked the next day and he told me his age. His past two relationships which is his kids mom's are around his age. He said that one is giving him a hard time to see his kids because she's so concerned with who he's seeing which I think is very immature of her. He recently told me he love me and has strong feelings for me. Also it seems to be common for older guys dating young girls now. FYI I'm not with him for ANYTHING because he's not even stable in his life right now, but I am.

I've dated on both ends of the spectrum with older women (10 plus years older), and women in the 23-27 range (I'm 34, but look like I'm 26.. Haha). But in the end, it didn't really have anything to do with their ages, but who they were as people.

Why? just generally speaking..their more effervescent personality, more fun loving happy go lucky nature, less emotional baggage and less deal breaker/redflag lists/check off lists, they tend to be sexier with that youthful glow and have tighter bodies, they tend to not have a marriage/baby/security looming deadline. It makes the older person (male or female in a young/old relationship) feel more youthful and energized in life. Guys were very attracted to 20 yr olds when they were 20 and its not something they had to train themselves for. Its not like their mind re-wires every decade to find older and older women sexier.

After coming off a nasty divorce this guy will just want an easy going, no drama, fun loving relationship to get his spirits back

Because women mature faster, and our culture is a bit youth obsessed.

 

Personally... I dated a bit younger because the women my age are a poor culture fit. I'm 35 and most women my age are not into tech, never liked comics, hate video games... ect. Women about 5 years below me seem to have drastically different attitudes towards these things.

Mostly because they're the most attractive, and then some guys like them because they're still naive and unsuspecting and are more easily deceived. They can get away with more because girls of a certain age always think guys are going to "love" them forever.

Watch out, that is a load of baggage he is carrying there.

How long ago did he split up with his kid's moms?

As a guy who has married and dated younger women exclusively, I can tell you exactly what i like about them.... some generalizations... but....

 

More open minded

Have more energy

Joke around more

Usually more fit

More willing to do things on a whim

Can help you not dress like an old man

Introduce you to new culture/music

Not bitter/jaded

An innocence and point in life that's very refreshing

They have dreams

They want to try new things

 

I could probably go on, but these are the basic ones.

 

These qualities more closely align with my own than those stuck in ruts, not living, out of shape and with kids

If you are asking why SOME men prefer younger women specifically, you got many answers above. Being a cartwheeling, tech savvy ninja chick married to a man 24 yrs younger those are not MY experiences, but whatever :D

 

BIGGER question is what makes HIM special to you, as the two moms, with two separate kids and being " barely stable" himself hardly makes him seem like a prize to anyone at any age.

Both have good and bad points

 

Younger women:

 

Better looking

Thinner

More energy

Dress up more

We like showing them off more (yeah get over it we're shallow just like you).

 

The Bad

 

narcissists

vain

young and dumb

uncultured (well they think they are because they've traveled to Africa on daddy's paycheck)

expect you to be rich and to have a high status job

Try to be like Men

Feminist

 

Older Women

 

The Good

 

The Sex is better (they know how to service younger guys and make guys feel like Men)

They are more worldly

Happy to pay for dates

Have more control over their emotions

Usually more interested in people's lives

Not as superficial

 

The Bad

 

Sometimes Bitter (or a bit jaded about relationships)

Like regular schedules (depends on the guy if this is bad)

Usually work a lot more

Kids

Divorced

Not terribly interested in having more kids or getting married (depends on the guy if this is bad).

 

 

Generally speaking I like older women more because they are better at conversation and they rock in the sack. Younger women are self-obsessed and annoying. Instant gratification is their end goal.

Geesh Larry, no one was asking about older women. This thread is about older men and younger women.

I appreciated Larry's post because it was a nice reminder that not automatically everyone becomes miserable and stuck in a rut as they age. :)

 

It's important for EVERYONE, men and women, to never let life beat the love and vitality out of them.

Plenty of women my age (late thirties) can be this way. Do you know what has left me jaded? Men my age wanting to date younger women. That is what makes me feel old. They don't care who I am as a person, or that I like to do things on a whim, like to try new things, and so on. There are women here who are over 40 and in wonderful shape.

Some people just prefer younger people. As long as everybody is consenting adults it is their business.

As mentioned in my post, those are generalizations and answers to the op's question.

 

I'd love to meet any of these women you claim to be or know on here. I'd prefer it.

 

Truth is... where are you all? You're not in OLD replying to me. You're not in real life showing signs of interest.

 

Girls 10 and even 15-17 years younger than you are out there contacting me on a regular basis, flirting with me at stores, flashing smiles and tossing hair and are texting me to this moment tonight.

 

Where are you all? I'd be down to give it a try, but your juniors beat you to the punch every time.

 

When I occasionally find an older girl that seems cool online, no response. While at the same time, 3 or 4 20 somethings are quite interested and get right back to me.

 

These are my personal experiences.

It's very simple. There is beauty in youth.

Couldn't have said it better ;)

Going by your other thread, maybe he thinks that he can take advantage of you. That you won't expect him to treat you so well, when a woman his own age most likely wouldn't put up with being ignored. It doesn't take long to send a text, when he's away.

Men are attracted to fertile young things because, well, because they're fertile young things... how they rationalize it isn't so relevant.

But you hit a point in your life where fertility is more horrifying than sexy.
