HiHey Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I remember watching Cheaters on TV. We would often see a young girl cheat with an man over 60. And I always though "WTF would she do that?". It got me curios so I did an experiment. Did a random search on facebook. Found this old guy in hes 60 that was not even remotely good looking. A bit fat, ugly mustache, no neck etc and created a fake account on Badoo. While the old man didn't look good, he did look like a nice person. Did a search on Badoo with filter options to show girls between 18-32 whom are online at the moment in Los Angeles(and later New York). I started pressing the like button on the girls that where very attractive and the result was astonishing! I got about one match per minute, of course with really hot girls. Many of them started to message me. I was suspecting they where bots, fake or prostitutes so I start chatting with them and it turned out that they are all real girl looking for true love. Many gave me their emails, Whats App, phone number and even sent pictures of themselves! I asked if they would date an old man and they where all for it. After just 30 minutes, there where about 5 girls that got really interested. So I signed out because I felt horrible giving them false hopes. So what I wanna ask on this forum, why are older men popular in America? Ironically, the images I took from facebook was for a single guy, also living in America. So I may pass the account to him.

preraph Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 They're not. Most young women think you're gross if you're over 30.
jen1447 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Were they all looking for sugar daddies? There are always exceptions but generally you won't see young women flocking to 60 year old men w no ulterior motives. 2
RecentChange Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Ewwww hahaha not me. I remember when I was about 22 and hooked up with a 30 year old, I thought, oh gees, he's so old! (Looking back, hahahaha) I think there are some young women attracted to older men. Personally I don't get it. When I was young I was attracted to guys my age. As I got older, I find I am attracted to men younger than me.
Author HiHey Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Were they all looking for sugar daddies? There are always exceptions but generally you won't see young women flocking to 60 year old men w no ulterior motives. While chatting, I did not indicate in any way that I was rich or having lots of money. After brainstorming for an hour, I think I know why. Basically, vast majority of the young guys in America are players not looking for anything serious. So they turn to older men, due to desperation.
SoThatHappened Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Most young women think you're gross if you're over 30. $h!*... I'm screwed then. I'm mid 30's. Shoulda told that to the 22 y/o hottie that I dated for almost a year. She didn't get this memo. Well, maybe that was another reason she was bat-sheet crazy. 2

central Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I really did get a message this morning from a cute 18 y.o. looking to hook up. Yeah, right. She's even too young for my son! On the other hand, I had a 27 years younger FWB for 5 years. Sometimes happens, but I'd say it's not usual.

A lot of women aren't looking for anything serious either and some want sex more than the guys. They may have just been feeling you out to check your balance more or less.
morrowrd Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I dated younger women, 10 - 15 years younger...on average was at least 10 years younger. However, they are NOT desperate...I had a 3 year relationship with a girl 14 years younger. A good relationship, but not like the one I'm in now, and shes only 4 years younger. I adore her, we've been together one year. Back to you, all those "young girls" were not desperate, they have PLENTY of options here. Don't fool yourself with your online experiment.
Author HiHey Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) 10-15 years difference? In my experiment, the case was around 30-40 years! Fair enough, there weren't desperate. But the fact that so many got highly interested that fast remains fascinating. Edited August 2, 2016 by HiHey
clia Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 So you stole someone's pictures and created a fake dating profile? Sorry, but I don't think that's appropriate at all. It might even be illegal. Hope you had fun. 1

As I got older, I find I am attracted to men younger than me. Same here... I hooked up with a 37 yo when I was 19. Felt awkward, because we didn't only hookup but dated for a few weeks and that include restaurant etc. I remember I looked so young then some might have thought that women was some, ehh pedophile. Anyways... Agree with the second part of your post and I'm now attracted to ladies in their 20s, but wouldn't go under 22. That's a decade younger and it sounds sketchy..

Gorgeous, available young women don't flock to old disgusting fat men who look like Uncle Fester because they're 'desperate.' But they might if they think he's an old fool with a bunch of money stashed away somewhere that he just hasn't told them about .... yet. 1

In my profile, I explicitly wrote that I had an okey job and drove an average car, scaring away gold diggers. I got a bit deep with two of the girls yesterday at night, and later removed the account because my experiment is completed. I asked why they are interested in an old man. The answer was because their prior boyfriends, whom where at their age, had cheated on them, and that young guys in america often cheat. So, to summarise: Many american girls prefer older men because the young men in the US are a bunch of cheaters and liars. I am done with this thread.

joseb Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 She didn't get the memo.. I bet she didn't have the right cover sheet on her TPS Reports either lol. Ah Office Space! 3
longjohn Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Ah Office Space! Yeahh.. I'm going need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday. 1

I think there's overwhelming evidence to the contrary, tho I'll admit I'm curious why you observed the deviation. Guess we'll never know now but this was never the most ethical experiment to begin with so that's prob best.
itstoni Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 All depends on the guy. I personally like them young for many reasons EDIT: Young woman tend to like older men since they tend to have their **** together. When a young woman sees an older men, they see, lots of money, able to provide shelter and security. compared to an 20 yr old.
GorillaTheater Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 When a young woman sees an older men, they see, lots of money, able to provide shelter and security. compared to an 20 yr old. When this older man sees a young woman, I see my daughters and their goofy-ass friends. No thanks. 3
elaine567 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 When talking about young women, there is the older man ie 30 and there is the older man ie 60. 30 I may believe, 60????? 2
jazzyhands89 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I find it is the other way around. Older men prefer younger women for not so Noble reasons
thefooloftheyear Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Depends on the guy.... I have several friends and personal contacts where guys over 50 have women in late 20's early 30's as wives/gf's.....But these aren't fat, old, bald guys..They are in great shape, look good, have good careers, etc.....And before any of you say it's because they have money, the two I can think of right now make more than the guys they are with...I'm not in the game, but have no doubt I could do the same if I was so inclined....but I'm not..no way... One thing I have heard from many younger women is how immature, unmotivated, and just plain stupid most guys their age are...I think that may be a contributing factor, I dunno... But yeah, the creepy older guy with the 9 month pregnant beer gut, is dreaming... TFY
Justanaverageguy Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 They're not. Most young women think you're gross if you're over 30. That's nonsense ..... Maybe over 40. I'm 32 on tinder the girls I am most popular with is 20-24 - they actively persue. I still look young - and it definitely seems young girls have a thing for slightly older guys. Usually because you have money, have your **** together, are a bit more mature and generally tend to be a bit more assertive dominant in a positive sense. Young guys tend to chase them and do what ever they want. This is not about security either as a lot of the girls are looking for less serious relationships. They genuinely find slightly older more attractive even just for casual fun. 60 is a completely different ball park to 30s though.
