I find myself being hit on by girls between the ages of 18 & 24...why?

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?

Well, I know what you mean, because my first ex left me to pursue younger, tighter skirts - of course, he is nothing beautiful to look at himself, so I thought that kind of rude, but I digress,LOL! \n  I do get hit on a lot for someone almost 40(getting hit on by a lot of older AND younger guys!) and full figured! So maybe the ex is just a loser or something.

I'm going to guess you are a good looking guy. Congrats! Teenage girls tend to respond to cuteness with the above described behavior. \n\nIf you are not cute, then perhaps you have some outter characteristic that makes you noticeable...perhaps a goofy haircut, unique clothing preference, etc. But based on your descriptions, I'm guessing you are just a good looking guy. Post your picture, and I'm sure you'll get a straight answer about it. :) And don't worry, I'm just a bit too old for you!

This really is a voyeuristic question.. What age are you?

I have the same problem but in reverse, I like younger women and I get some bad looks from other people. Especially when I was dating a 19 year old. And yes I am 41, but I don't care what people think. If you enjoy being with that person do what makes you happy!

you should specify an age so that you will not get guys that are way too old for you. Unless you do not mind!

*this is a long one*\n\nIt's understandable that you feel bad because you're not getting the kind of treatment your "attractive" friends are getting, but there's a lot going on here.\n\nGuys, from a very young age, are told what is attractive and what isn't. It has to do with the era, culture, ethnicity, and a million other things. It also has to do with the fact that it's a bar. Although people meet each other and form legitimate relationships all the time in bars, most often when alcohol and women are involved it's about sex. The men in there may care about your beautiful personality, intelligence, creativity, talents, etc. but that isn't the first thing they're looking at.\n\nPeople always say that men exploit women. To a degree this is true, but if it's one thing I've learned it's that women are terrific at exploiting the things that men like to get what they want. You girls aren't stupid, even those who pretend to be. Men for the most part aren't difficult to figure out when it comes to attracting us visually. \n\nWith that out of the way, don't get yourself down because you aren't the standard that pop culture deems hot. Every single woman is beautiful, no matter what age size or color. What matters most is how beautiful you acknowledge yourself to be, no matter what anyone else thinks. Because in the end, you can't control what they think or how they feel, and although there are ways to make yourself more attractive to them, it's only a shallow experience and you shouldn't have to change things about yourself to please others.\n\nI'm not one of those people who's going to tell you that there's someone out there guaranteed to be perfect for you, who just happens to love everything about you and treats you the way you deserve to be treated. If you find that person you're very lucky, because most of us out there just have to settle or lie to ourselves. \n\nWhat I am going to tell you though, is that there are men out there who acknowledge and appreciate physical features, but value the beautiful personality underneath. You're probably not going to run into one of these men at a bar. Where do you find them? There isn't one set place where we all congregate, that's the problem that goes both ways, for finding men and women alike.\n\nThink about this though: Next time you're at the bar, check out the wallflowers. Chances are there's a guy out there who doesn't get approached by the beautiful women, who may be insecure himself but like you has a lot to offer beyond physical appearances that conform to a standard. Talk to him, ask him to buy you a drink, if you feel like it offer to buy him a drink, see how that goes. Be yourself. This could easily end up being the most fun for you, because you'd be surprised how eager the person in the corner is to connect with someone else if they were just given the chances. If not, at least you interacted and didn't have to sit aside feeling hurt that people aren't approaching you.\n\n\n\nBut after all this, and I'm not saying it is this way, don't have a double standard or be hypocritical. Don't judge the guys on physical appearance alone. You know you're worth a lot more than your looks alone, and so are they. So is everyone.

Like attracts like, maybe the problem starts with you.  Take a deeper look at yourself first and see if there is something about your personality and or approach is attracting these type of women.

I don't mean to be creepy by being in the woman's health section but I though I might be able to help answer a question.  Its good that you point out the fact that your only 14.  I'm 24, when I was 14 I thought pretty was based on popularity.  Thats just the way it was.  The girl I am now about to marry is gorgeous beyond what I thought was possible (at least in my eyes) and she was never popular.  But she surrounded herself with good trust worthy friends and developed her talents, now she is wanted by every man that meets her.  Feel glad that you don't have to deal with stupid immature horny 14 year old boys who can differentiate between their head and ... well your only 14 so thats as far as I can go with that.  when you look back to now when you're 24 you will laugh at these worries and wish you could share what you know with all the other 14 year old girls in the world.  God made women on a much higher level then men, thats why women are so confused about us, I'm not lying.

Maybe you're not good looking, but you are sexy! maybe your curves turn them on or your eyes.\nI understand it could be quite upsetting. Find a way to take advantage of it.

It has more to do with being comfortable with yourself and what you want than your age.\n\nGood Luck ;)

Slow down, Daddy's Best Friend.  Her smiles do not necessarily mean she's coming on to you.  Older men are naturally flattered by the slightest bit of attention from an attractive young woman; don't read more into her actions, or your reaction, than is likely to be there.  Be pleasant and polite and keep your hands to yourself.

I guess you are a very matured girl for your age. When most girls your age think with their heart, you think with your head and trust me in the long run, you will be in a better position in life than others. Wish you all the best.

Yah, sure. But for all u know, I wanna be more than friends, and I'm a perv. Why do u have ur age posted? I'd caution against that. I'm not a perv, just warning u. There are a lot more dangers out there in the world now than there were when I was a teen. I know I sound old, but I'm not that old, but I am old enough to be ur mother, so I hope u do atleast chew on this advice for about thirty seconds B4 discarding it. God Bless.

I am older also.  I like younger women.  I am vain.  I am not attracted to many women my age.  I look great for my age so probably 10 years younger.  In many cases the girl has chased after me. Make sure that he is taking you out and exposing you to culture.  You should be going to plays and concerts and nice restaurants with him.  He should be introducing you to his friends (parents later).  See the book Pygmilian which my fair lady is based.  Your older guy should be expanding your horizons.  If you are just going to cheap restaurants or not really doing anything then you are simply giving it up for the price of a happy meal.

Well, one reason might be that you're attractive to begin with, whether you look younger or not.\n\nBut there's something else going on too.  There's this whole power thing going on.  A lot of guys as they get older start feeling that in order to feel good about themselves, they have to be able to attract girls like they were young.  So they look for younger women (there's more, but I don't have space).  Also, there's a power thing going on.  Older men will be attracted to younger women because the younger ones are less experienced, more trusting, and easier to manipulate.  Since you have to ask the question, you're probably naive and trusting, so be on your guard for someone who might want to take advantage of you.

princess we all go through these feelings. You are probably just as pretty Just as attractive as ever you were. Unfortunately a lot of guys assume that women who are very attractive are taken especially since they are slightly older than the silly little girls they used to chase. You are simply more confident more assertive than you once were, that doesn't mean you are any less desirable than the younger more slender ( in my opinion less seductive ) females you are comparing yourself to. They are girls Hun You are a beautiful seductive woman, not a silly kid anymore. personally i like the fuller more rounded and curvy body of a woman as opposed to the awkward skinny angular body of a girl. I assure you, you are every bit as desirable as you ever were and in my opinion probably more so, to men that is not boys.
