There is a lot of talk about women wanting younger men these days. So, what are men really attracted to? Assume you were in your early 30s. Would you rather date a woman in her early 20s or in her early 40s? Why?

As long as they're young at heart it doesn't matter what age they are.

Why sure, go for it. My boyfriend that I have been with for Almost four years now, and our relationship is still going strong, Im like 21 and he's 23. Some people say girls mature faster than men, which I think is so true. But I really don't think age matters unless there like a minor or something, but hell yeah go for it.

I dont see anything wrong with dating a younger man, as long as there are limits to the age difference(not 18 or younger)  \n\nIf his maturity level is good with you, he treats you good, makes you laugh, has a  job, and is an all and all decent guy I dont see anything wrong with it.    \n\nPLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALOT OF THE ONLINE DATERS DO LIE.  SO PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE IN CYBERSPACE!!!!!

Look past the age for a minute.  I mean, I know some 30 year olds that act like they're 50 and I know some 50 year olds that act like they're 30.  Age is irrelevant to some extent. Let me emphasize "some extent".  Although the mind may think younger, the body will eventually answer the question "What's my age again?".   Ok, re-track back to my first statement. *waits while you read it again*.  Now, it is very nice to be complimented.  (if I may, your nose looks quite lovely today!) and it is nice that someone has taken an interest in you.  But, the real question is, would YOU date him?  The mere fact that you are contemplating it leads me to believe you may have some interest.  But, is this interest only because he has showed you some attention?  Perhaps you should casually spend some time with him and see if he is someone you would date.  I don't know the man.  I mean, if you want, I can shoot down to....."where?" and scope out the situation.  You know, stare him up and down and ask him what his intentions are......shake him up a little.

I too have a preference for older men and have been there. First off don't be offended when your family starts in with the what does he want someone so young for. Most occasions when an older man is interested in someone so young it is because there is something wrong with him. That being said there are some relationships that do work out becuase both are really in love and only time will tell this. I suggest that you tell your parents that you know that there is high percentage of varying age difference relationship problems and the two of you love each other and discuss the topic often and want to do your best to work through that and feel it is worth it. More than likely you will get oposition concerning this but don't get angry. There is reasons for their concern and respect that. There does have to be a point though after your family has met him and he has proven time again that he does love you that you need to take a stand and say that's enough he has proven that he loves me regardless of my age and his only negative aspects are normal and I can live with them so I suggest everybody else to just accept my relationship and get over their expectations of me finding someone your own age because it's not going to happen.\n\nOn the other hand if their fears eventually get confirmed then don't be so hard on yourself. We never see it for ourselves until it is too late and going through what ever you may go through could have ended up being a wonderful relationship but you wouldn't have known unless you tried.

Older men who search for younger females is not normal. Generally, there are age barriers which define the lifestyle of that person. IE: a 30 year old searches for marriage and stability while a 17-18 year old is finishing high school/ beginning college and needs to build a career. For the 30 year old, those 2 lifestyles clash considering that one has already entered into adulthood while the other is just learning about it still. Would a 17 year old be ready for a life with a child? but would a 30 year old be ready? yes! so therefore the 17 year old should not be involved with the older individual.

well to be honest, im a sucker for older guys.. 1st, because they know how to handle relationships well, 2nd because they look so hot and not that boyish boy-next-door who ould cry with just a dog bite. and 3rd, theres something with older men whom i love, well maybe because they can really protect me and give me anything that could make me happy like hotsex.. they are more open and experienced on where to hit the right spot which i love. and its a turn-on for me if a guy is older than me. anyway im 19 and i once have a relationship with a 33 year old guy. lol.. its really good. \n\ndid i answer your question well? good.. \n\nmwaaaahhh!!!\n\n\nrock my worl baby..

I've always preferred older guys and always will, I like their wisdom and life experience and women also mature quite fast so this works well with older guys. I always find it odd when older women go out with younger guys, I really can't comprehend that one.

I'm married to one!  :)  \n\nHe's 10 years older than me.  Many of my friends are married to men who are 10 or 20 years older.  I'd say that between 10 to 20 year age difference isn't as much when we are more mature.  So a woman 30 years old would seriously consider a 50 year old man.  Especially if he's financially secure (not wealthy but stable) and willing to have a family---ready made (e.g., she already has children) or kids together.

If there's a connection, there's a connection! It doesn't matter the age difference, or who's older.\n\nPersonally, i have a preference for older men - i like the whole 'being protected' thing and somehow i can't really see a younger man offering as much comfort!\n\nBut to each her/his own - it all depends on what you want out of the relationship, and whether the other person is ready and able to give it to you. \n\nMaybe ask yourself what the younger man wants from you? If you can tell he's serious about the relationship and not just wanting a "trophy older woman", then by all means :)

Not that I am a psychiatrist, but I'm sure there is some logical explanation having to do with your history and past why you seek the comfort of older men unconciously and so consciously you are attracted to them? Who knows? I find the same, as far as being attracted to older men goes. However, I'm not married, I'm engaged, far from divorce. I think its normal to be attracted to older men. Women traditionally want to be taken care of by a strong, wise man, which we somehow invision as an older man, and that's why I am attracted them. They offer stability and knowledge, or so my subconcious thinks so. lol...\nAnyway, I wouldn't worry too much about the being attracted to older men part.\nIf I were you I'd be more focused on my marriage, and what an affair could do to it and my kids...

Women in their 30s and 40s, who are attractive, drive me wild.  I can see how you would be insecure after being cheated on, but you must know that a good amount of guys are hot for women your age.  I'm in my 30s and even when I was single, I didn't chase girls around.  Give me a woman and leave the girls for the boys.\n\nYes, a lot of older men chase girls around, but it's their own insecurities that drive them that way.  They can't cut it with a mature woman, so they try to control a 20 year old.  Enjoy your new freedom I say.

Yes i've always been exactly the same.  I've really no interest in guys my own age, and i've always been like this even since when i was at school.  Don't really know why though but it's not a problem at all.  Plus as the saying goes, there's many a good tune can be played on an old fiddle.....  I'm 29 and seeing a guy of 51 who is the sexiest guy i've ever met in my life and is well fit (and looks about 35).  Good Luck!

Is he wealthy? What do you think the attraction is? At 20, she is old enough to be making decisions for herself.....you've given her guidance, but now she has to make that decision.\n\nWhat would worry me is WHY she is attracted to older men. Often it is because of a previous molestation by an older man. Is that a possibility? If so, I would suggest some serious counseling by a professional....NOT clergy type....they would just continue the problem.

Hmmm. Take out the married part and I could see the attraction.  Older men are more mature, and a lot of younger woman find that attractive.  Especially if they're sick of dating immature people.  And it could be the uniform, especially if it is a type that puts you in a place of power (think cop, lol).  I don't really have respect for anyone who goes after a married man.\n\nBut who knows.  Maybe you're just cute and they like flirting?

I'd rather date someone older. I'd prefer someone more mature and stable(financially and emotionally). I would hope an older man would be less likely to play games and would definitely have more experience as a lover and be better in bed. I'd want someone to take care of me, not a younger boy to babysit.
