Why do I only feel horny for older men?

i am young but I am only turned on by older men most of the time. all the celebrities I like are older men. in real life the men I find myself attracted to are 10+ years older. some have even been old enough to be my own dad. when I am in a room of men my eyes tend to like older men, not the guys my age. to me the guys my age are babies and I even think "in the future they will be hot." sometimes I have little flirtations with older men, like at work. it also seems that older men like me more than guys my own age...but I definitely like them more too! I am mostly turned on by and fantasize about men who are older usually by at least a decade. why? do I have problems? no it is not about money. most of the men I liked were not rich or anything.

  • No, you don't have a problem whatsoever. For the most part, these societal norms were created by parents who simply don't want their daughter to be sleeping with older men. We can remove from this conversation anything regarding an actual law, since you are both over the age of consent.

    Please allow me to tell you that there are many many wonen in their early twenties who are attracted to men 10-20, maybe even 30 years older than them. These women are not flawed, they just happen to live in a society that views such an age gap in a negative way. I am in my late 30's and have dated (or, just hooked up with) more than ten women in their early 20's. These women are sort of hidden in plain site and may not even tell their close friends that they are attracted to older men... So, how common this is can often be hidden.

  • A lot of women like older men. It use to be that older men were the strongest and smartest of the males. That is how they lived that long. The weaker males would be killed very young by predators and enemy tribes. Because a man can continue to have children throughout his entire life, older men were the best source of DNA to make a healthy baby.

  • Older men have a different look than younger men.

    Which can be incredibly attractive. There isn't any specific reason, or anything that is abnormal about it.

    Older men are still people lol. It's normal to get attracted to other people.

    • Can you explain what you mean by a 'different look'? Do you mean more rugged and less boyish?

    • I wouldn't say "rugged" just more filled out. Their shoulders get wider, their facial structure gets sharper. Even their hair line changes. Older men also have a different look in their eyes. They're just different.

    • Nice explanation.

  • Could be the sense of security! Older men (some) can make you feel secured and loved although, it may not be so... They help you keep your innocent while nurturing you into womanhood...

  • It's called a preference and we all have preferences. You do not have a problem and I like you have for the most part chosen men 10 year or more older than me.

  • There are many possibilities ranging from the maturity of older men which might attract you all the way to them being a father figure for you. And then there are 100 reasons in between.

    Sometimes the maturity and maybe the self confidence of an older guy might be appealing to you.

  • Hello there! My name is Ron. I would love to hear more! 😀

  • Maybe you are looking for a father figure. A huge age difference will quickly surface once the flirtation stage is over so you should go out with men more your age.

  • you said, "to me the guys my age are babies" which tells me you are probably a lot more mature than your peer group, is there anything wrong with that.. No... Relax, the right guy will come along, regardless of what age he is.

  • It's just the way you are.

  • You might be more mature than women your age so that can be why you like older men. Or maybe because we are more experienced and not into games. Could be lots of reasons actually.

  • Soooo Hawwwt

  • There's nothing wrong with liking older men. Age is just a number. You may be attracted to his broader knowledge and life experience. Older men tend to treat women differently and not think so much about themselves and want to please their partner more. Maybe they are more established in their lives and can give you things a guy your age can't.

  • Not necessarily a problem. You probably just like guys with more experience.
