I'm with an older guy. It has it's pro's but if I entered the dating game again I think I'd go for younger this time.
But your age says you're 35?
@heartsblooddupre that is correct. But my statement is still true lol
Concur with this.
You forgot one extra con that he will die way before you.
Did you know when you going to die? Loool.
No @miss_ana, but it increases the probability if they are much older by a good amount.
I'm totally not agreed with that.
Anyone one of us could be killed at any moment, so that doesn't matter to me.
Why are you two willing to except all those other cons, but not this con I pointed out? Go ahead date Big foot if you want, but don't delude yourself.
I'm agree with you take owner
This is one of reason why I said older are more attractive. Young people easy to get angry. Lol
Haha, I know @miss_ana. My comment was more for blondfrog.
Okay, @blondfrog. So they die before us. We can either move on or stay alone.
No one is disagreeing with you. We're just saying anyone can die at any moment.
Yes I know that, but you are not weight in that older people TEND have more health risk factors and that chance of dying at any moment. Now I highlighted the word "tend" so you wouldn't quote on quote have an excuse to put words in my mouth. In the end older people have a higher chance of dying
Oh you also forgot to add another con that a lot of much older men date younger girls just to get in their pants and then they leave them and also use them to have her by him stuff. I hear and see older men doing this to younger girls all the time and trust me I am a guy I know how men think better than you do.
He's good with sexual stuff. Good lover passionate romantic. His experience is sexy. He knows what makes a woman tick more. But when I am middle aged I will be with an old fart. What if he wants to retire first. Or is too tired to care for kids. Or can't get it up anymore. I have daddy issues so I always go older. But it's probably not healthy. I'm just screwed up :(
If you're with a much older guy in the long haul, another downside is that you'll become more of his care taker as you get older.
Yes this happen to my aunt she married a man who was 21 years older than her. Now she is 63 and he's 84 and she spends every day taking care of him because he is bedridden
I personally do not mind this. I love taking care of my man. He doesn't live with me, but if he did, this would not bother me at all. It is my pleasure to take care of the ones I love.
I have a natural tendency towards older men because of that maturity aspect. They - from what I can tell - dress better (I do not want to see your underwear due to falling trousers!), and I see them as overall more respectful. Men my age just make me shudder from the possibility I could have to choose from them, seeing as many - not all! - are so immature and annoying.
i only go for guys that are older than me though. Maybe not 10 years difference but around 2-4 years difference. Id rather be with someone who knows what he's doing and has the same maturity level as me than some nose pickers who just learned about what makes a girl different from a guy.
Dang the older man I was with was the complete opposite of everything you wrote. The only one he matched up your was that he was close to my dad's age. He was immature, financially unstable, didn't know what he wanted out of life, he could keep a hard but didn't believe in Viagra. He tried to act like an 20 year old but he was 46. I'm Never dating an older man again.
in my exspirince I dated a few older guys online were 25 26 27 28 29 24 23 age group and it didn't go so well because the ones I dated were immature and mean to me were as I tried to date young guys as 18-22 age group and I found that they were nice to me and mature but I stoped dating because I wanted to be single and knew that a reletionship would have been hard for me
23-29 may be older to you, but I do not think that was the demographic she meant in this My Take.
oh was thinking more of the age 30 group?
why am i 18... lol!
any thoughts on dating younger man?
someone needs to spin this take "Pros and Cons of dating a cougar!"
lol great take!
Haha, it varies from person to person.
George Clooney is super hot though... when i am his age i want to be like him...
Well frankly with the cons you are spot on with the settling down thing but some men including me can and want to party late. Also people can say what they want and unless they are paying my bills I could care less what they think. Yeah we are awesome in the sack and I love who I am.
Adding to the CONS list... the constant chiding by your man that you don't know anything about anything because you're young and haven't experienced life.
i get the " you're still growing up, you're going to change" bullshit
He's not even that much older if you're speculating
Well that was informative and insightful, such depth and reasoning... totally worth the two minutes it took you to write.
I have A best husband is this world. He is 13years older than me. He guide me. He show me the world. And until now I'm still in love. Life is awesome
is he well off?
@I_M_LEGEND just one word can I say. Amazing.
guess he is. i m just wondering because this is my theory. ability is more practical and attractive than a bit of youth. i m done school in 4 years and thats when i can settle. but i will be making good money. thats the game plan at least... i m moving around but when i graduate i will consider something serious due to my instability.
@I_M_LEGEND it wasn't about money only. And yeah I'm agreed with you said youth are more attractive. But its just physically. You still got lots of time for that.
@I_M_LEGEND Looks aren't important. We all get old eventually.
@I_M_LEGEND yeah. You are rightt. So did you already found the right girl yet?
i m talking to someone. we are gonna stay friends and see how life on both sides play out. not even close to being the one though. yah i workout and take care of myself and aparently i look 25 so i hope she won't have to give up too much on the looks lol
but yes, i think its a huge benefit to get your money right before taking on serious responsibilities such as children and your wife.(so she can raise the kids at home ideally, then she can work later if kids are old enough for school) i dont date women my age, selection gets very slim and why would i if i can date a 24 yr old right? i want kids later lol
also, i meant ability and experience is more attractive.
Ohhh. That's good for you then.
Why you posted a picture of gay ass max 😂
Old men are the shit though. Lol
Max isn't gay… He has a wife
like i said! LMAO!!!
Cons, he is wrinkly... smells like an old man, dresses like an old man, and have turkey lurky neck skin
What happens when a 25 year old person doesn't have any of the cons, but all of the pros?
It's strange to grey in your mid twenties
Does that make it all bad then?
Actually it isn't all that rare. Heck, some people lose all their hair by their late teens. It depends on what genetics gifted you with.
Yeah well I am neither losing my hair nor going bald, but is this "silver fox" that much of a pro? I am good looking, and will be when it turns grey too :)
It's not strange to have grey hair in your twenties. It's actually very common. It's way more noticeable with guys who have darker hair. You wouldn't necessarily notice it on a guy with blonde hair and nowadays too many people dye their hair, so you would never know.
No offense, but I wouldn't touch an early-twenties woman with a fifty foot pole. Especially these days.
Okay 😂😂😂😂😂
I simply prefer women from my generation haha
I don't blame you. Coming from a 20-soemthing...
that's a good thing in my books, haha.
Most guys think I'm crazy for not being attracted to young women. I mean, they are physically attractive, sure, but we would have NOTHING in common.
Older men can not only take you to an exotic far away city, but they can also show you around!
You forgot about the back pain in the high time of sex
Point no. 3 and 5 (pros) are pointless
But overall the take was very good.
