You might just like mature men. A lot of men act childish. you're body is just attracted to seasoned males. It might not even have to do with age, but just maturity. Has nothing to do with daddy issues. At least not from my point of view. Who knows where it stems from. An old teacher. A movie star from way back when. Nothing wrong with liking older men. When you get older, you'll probably still like men in their 40s, not their 60s.

Possibly, do you find yourself constantly looking for approval from older men?

Were you abandoned by your father?

[Asker]

Yes I was abandoned by my father. I was adopted by not so loving adoptive father. I was emotionally and physically abused I was longing for a fathers love

[Opinion Owner]

I am sorry for the abuse you suffered, but being abandoned is a sure sign of daddy issues.

I like older guys too by just 5-8 years. But not daddy type old. Everyone is attracted to different things. Just like how some men like fat women or older women. Or how some men are sexually attracted to feet. Others are sexually attracted to children. You’re just attracted to old guys. It’s certainly not vastly common but it happens.

Liking men doesn't instantly mean you have daddy issues
Having a bad relationship with your father would mean you have daddy issues

I can't know if that's the case for you (since I don't know your situation), but I know from my personal experience that just because you're with a much older guy doesn't mean you have daddy issues.. I'm 23 years old in a very serious (and happy) relationship with a 42 year old man. There are a lot of reasons why I very much strongly prefer being with an older guy (Off the top of my head he's more mature, more committed, he's independent/can take care of himself, he knows what he wants in a relationship, he's much more interested in making the woman he's with (me) happy, and he actually knows where my clitorus is.) However, none of those reasons have anything to do with having 'daddy issues'. Moreover, I have a great relationship with my dad and have no issues in that area at all.

Absolutely not! I'm in the same age gap relationship (married, in fact) as you but in reverse. Plenty of people assume that he's got mommy issues or I'm going through a mid life crisis. However, the truth is that we just have an amazing relationship and the age gap doesn't stop that.

Everyone has their types, doesn't necessarily mean anything. Not enough context in your post about why you like to date older guys

[Asker]

Its just I like older

[dorksided1]

You just have a type nothing more to it.

[virtue2332]

Maybe you just like the experience. I know I'm a better overall catch in my 40 s than I was in my 20s

[humanearth]

Maybe, My daughters friend is around 23-25 years old and she is dating a guy that's older than me.

Its looks weird when they kiss.

[Avicenna]

I wouldn’t assume that

[Guardian45]

If you do, who cares? You like who you like. It's nobody else's business, but your own.

[Anonymous]

I don't think so. Daddy issues is not about age.
So do whatever floats your boat. You know the reason why you like dating them, whatever it may be. Who cares what other people think.

[Clairvear69]

Also like older man. Is okay for you

[anylolone]

Not necessarily. What do you want from that man?

[Devontealashantea]

I don't know do you? Why do u like them?

[TrillXHippy]

40 year old men or 40 men in total at one time?

[scooogy]

40 something men? Why not starting with one? :P

[CubaPirate]

If you're both happy who cares

[Finchie40]

Yes, can I help you

[clemdenim]

Not really, just a more mature guy

[Berethor]

Maybe.

[fonduegirl]

Sounds about right

[Iron_Man]

Let’s hope not

[Jamie05rhs]

Yeah; probably.

[InvoluntaryCelibate9]

No nl...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Most likely yes.

[SignedAutographs]

Yeah
