Well honestly, I always have too. The main reason for me is how well I get along with them. Although age Is no guarantee of maturity, I always have a lot more to talk about with older men. I myself am a bit of a conservationalist or maybe it's just because I don't tolerate being 'too open' or childish. I don't like wasting my time and more than often older men have been through plenty in their lives to know what they want out of it and if they want you, well, they don't really have plans to mess with your head or play games. Although people think it's a daddy issue, it really isn't. Comfort really depends on how he makes you feel. Most of the older men I've met really do respect women more and know better than to play with them. As for the whole sexual idea, it's more about chemistry. I don't think experience itself is so important because practice does make perfect. And honestly, don't ask questions on why you're attracted. You don't need justification or negativity to give you clarity. You'd know what attracts you to them and plus just be okay with it and enjoy your life.
Your attracted to men of that generation which had a difderent mindset than the ones you see today. It has nothing to do with age. The may have a sense of maturity that is indeed lacking in our generation. There are men of your age who are mature. You just have to find them. And be who you say you want to attract.
It could be just what you like is all. My girlfriend and I are a, “May - December Couple”. A colloquial for saying there is an age difference between us. Both our parents and friends aren’t bothered by the difference either. We do not notice it since neither of us have ever been married not had kids. Not to mention our matching energy levels. Guess it also helps that I do not appear my age either. Point is, no, there isn’t anything wrong with you. Frankly, neither of us were seeking the difference in age, just just existed between two people who happens to love one another immensely.
You like what you like and that is that. No more, no less. Hope this helps.
A few questions before I answer...
How many men have you dated?
In your life how frequently would you say your around older men?
Do you truly believe that you only like older men or has that just been the pool your most commonly around?

Older men are appealing to young women for several reasons.
-(rare opportunity) Older men tend to treat younger women better than a young man would do after all an old man can't take a young woman for granted anymore.
- (confidence) older men have confidence that was given to them from the battlefield of life, they know how to talk to a woman. Unlike younger guys who would think going up to a girl and calling her sexy slut will make her fall in love with him.
-(seriousness) older men have stability , money, they can put on a show that they are responsible. and are ready to start a family unlike a young man.
You simply like a lot of traits that only come with being a little older.
I myself also noticed that I like guys that have the same traits as my father does, but it took me a long time to realize that it's silly to expect guys my age to have my dad's qualities, he was already 40 and wealthy when I was born, and the dad that I grew up with has a lot of experience and wisdom that I didn't see because I didn't exist back then. Since then I am more flexible and don't feel like a guy has to be like my father to be considered a keeper.
oddly enough i find the reasons why i prefer women younger than me to be a similar case... I dated women my own age, even older and upto 5 years younger than me too and they weren't to be... always judging and controlling etc, always picky and barely able to appreciate my sense of humour.. or my hobby choices
but those younger than me, 10 years plus was great as we both got on amazingly
even despite not working out towards the end due to health issues...
Because in our minds, older = maturity and stability. Unfortunately it's not really the case. Although, an older person is more likely to be more experienced in bed. That's why I have my eyes on women 70+ 😏
Different people are attracted to different things. But I can tell you for a fact that most young women are not attracted to much older men. I find them physically unattractive and I just only see a life mismatch down the road. Its not a relationship that can last forever, if you're talking about marriage though. Unless you're ok being married to grandpa at 40
My partner is in his 40s lol. It's all about maturity and experience for me. I'm not a fan of immature men who don't know what they are doing, or what they want. On our first date he was direct, confident, and very well-read.
Probably the maturity factor or your father was an asshole?
Yep! I have noticed that. 90% of the girls that hit on me are at least 10 years younger than me. My wife is 4 months younger than me and it's fine. I just don't get it. But apparenlly there is nothing wrong with it, many thinks so but am not one of them
Because some of us are really awsomeness, thank you very much!!😇
It likely is we are more settled, mature, ability to provide security... a strong need for females.
It may be you were impacted by an older male growing up, that could have been positive or negative... it's still a driver.
It could be because they're usually more mature, or your taste is just like that, you like their appearance, it's not strange. Plus they say women go for men with characteristics similar to their father's, so that's another point too.
We're better at paying attention to people, generally. Plus we tend to have a "plan" for life. These two touch on the most primal of female insecurities that all have and few develop independence from.
May be because you are mentally more mature than other girls of your age so its normal if you like older men. Don't think too much, if you feel physical attraction to an elder man don't be shy and move ahead.
A fast look could be dismissed as something like, say, "daddy issues"
But perhaps you like older men because the men around your age you've experienced really just aren't cutting it for you.
well biologically guys go downhill later than woman, I think it was like mid thirties for women and early 40s for men give or take. So I feel a natural age gap is usually in order provided y'all want to peak and going downhill at same time. Not to mention women and men of the same age, women are usually more mature.
I'd say 5-10 year age gap would be completely normal. Relationships over a 10 year age gap seems to be much rockier. So how much, is much older?
Cuz they're smarter, more patient, better looking, usually have more money to spend, know how to treat a lady, and are WAY better in bed.
What's not to like?
Up to 10 years at your age is not unusual at all. After forty, up to 20 years.
You need to understand that a guy's brain doesn't even fully form 'till nearly 25. Girls are WAY ahead of guys in maturity. They pretty much never catch up.
Maybe your father is a wonderful man and you like the feeling of safety and maturity a man like him provides.
I'm the same 😂 I think it's nice that they have their lives more together, as competed to most younger guys. It's nicer when someone is mature and know what they want and don't want to mess around (not that all older guys won't mess around or all younger guys will)
I think it's about maturity. Girls mature faster than guys and it's nicer to date a guy that is more mature
Maybe you're picking up on their wisdom, maturity and ability to navigate through life by their experiences. Older guys tend to be more independent, resourceful and laid back while the younger ones are running around getting drunk, hanging with their buddies and lighting their own farts.
typically girls mature faster then guys. both in body and mind. so on average there is a 3-5 or more year gap between ages.
