I've heard (and I've seen) that younger men are attracted to older women, and older men are attracted to younger women. Is this true? Do men go through these different phases in there life? Or is it just a myth?

Well personally I prefer older women, always have, I generally find that they are much more developed in most areas than their younger counterparts. Also they aren't afraid of taking what they want, or at least going for it. I'm 20 and prefer the 22-30 crowd personally. So, while most guys do prefer younger girls, I know plenty who are more than willing to be with older women.

A interesting point I would like to make, for most of my life some 90 something percent of girls/women I have been with or attempted to, when I was in high school and even in college now, most women will refuse to date a guy because he is younger than they are, even if everything else is going well. Some say it's the social taboo, others say it just won't work out and leave it at that, others say it is the financial difference with me still having a year of college left. I mean I'm not Mr. Rich, but I do make a decent living, and pay for my own college. I have had older women who would say, "you're awesome, just come back in a year or two when you're older. " This makes no sense. So possibly it's womens own faults that they can't get younger guys when they want us, my entire life women have turned me down mainly due to my age, some have seen through that, but for the most part, they find out I'm younger and they automatically turn me down.

So getting down to it, it seems women train guys to only want younger girls for years by turning us down from the beginning due to social status or whatever. Yet, later when they change their minds and want younger guys, they grope about it, why is it that guys only go for the young little things. Have you thought about that for years, younger is all that most of us could get, so we have grown accustomed to that. I was lucky that the women that I have been with were older and saw through my age, but most guys aren't so lucky, and even then I had to approach a lot of women before I found one who would say yes. Yet I had many younger girls going after me. So in my opinion older women need to be more sincere and aggressive with a younger guy if they want to keep him, as well as clarify it isn't just sex, I've had older women use me for just that, while I enjoyed it for awhile, eventually I want more than just sex.

So yes some of us men prefer older women and enjoy their company much more than younger girls, but more often than not we are turned down by them due to our own youthfulness, and we get turned off of failing all the time. I personally don't, but most guys do, just like girls don't like admitting they like a guy until it's a sure thing, we don't like pursuing women who say no all the time.

Question Asker That is very interesting! I am 28 years old and I've always refused to go out with someone younger than me because it just didn't seem right to me, and I've always felt that older men were more in control than the younger ones. And you know what? That's wrong, and it's a stereotype! The real reason behind my question is because I now have soo many young man wanting to date me! And I'm like what the heck is going on! Do younger man actually like older woman?. - 6 months ago
Question Asker I'm recently dating a guy who is a few years younger than me and he is truly unbelievable! Better than most of the older men that I've dated. I guess Age is just a number after all! - 6 months ago
Answerer One thing that some older women don't get is that as the younger man, we do tend to try a lot harder to keep our women interested, not only because we really really want them, but also because we know that most women prefer older men. Yes younger men do go after older women, some do it for status, but most of us do it because we are attracted to them. The reason so few guys do is that we think you won't be ok with our age difference. - 6 months ago
Answerer So if you make yourself approachable to that age group or heck, even pursue them, you will get very good results. - 6 months ago
trickstir85 When you said that older women tend to be more "developed" in their lives - what did you mean by that? 22-30 is quiet a large age range. It's obvious that a 22 woman is much different than a 30 year old woman. They would clearly be in a different stage in their life. Wouldn't be better to aim for a woman who is on the same life path/life script as yourself? For example, in college, not as financially well-off, etc. - 6 months ago
Answerer Yes a woman who is 22 is much different than a woman who is 30. I would have a better chance with girls still in college, or heck if I really wanted a sure thing I could go after some high school girls. I'm not going for quantity when looking for a relationship. I'm going for quality, so if there is a girl still in college who has the qualities I'm looking for I'd be more than happy to be with her, yet more often than not, most college girls lack in such areas. - 6 months ago

Truthfully (imo) it all depends on the person. You really can't help who you fall for. Yes true younger women will most likely look cuter or what not. But older women are more cultured and more mature. Me personally I'm 21 and for the time being I date around the 18-22 area. Older than that seems like they can't relate to me. Younger than that and than well yea not only is it illegal but they give me headaches with the ashley said this and brittney said that.
