Guys, do you get attracted to older women too? Why/why not? Ladies, would you date a guy younger than you?

Question

DaveJord · Accepted Answer

Yeah, but it depends on the older women. So I am 46 so to me I consider older women that 50 to 52. I do that because at 46 I my kids are grown and I want to get out and travel and I want a women that can do that.

So most women on dating sites have kids, and even at 46 these women have teenagers and they can't just be as spontaneous as I would like. Kids in highschool have a lot of things going on from sports, school activities, and busy lives. So you can't ask them on a Friday if the want to take off for the coast tomorrow... they just can't detach themselves from their motherly duties like that. So you have to schedule things out and around their children, and even then things happen and they have to change plans.

So older ladies that have kids, are usually the types that have kids that are grown and out of the house or old enough that they don't need mom to get around or do things. So these types are usually more attractive to me... because younger women in the their late to mid 30's that do not have kids or only have their kids part time are usually the ones that are single without kids for a reason... and they look at me as some nasty old man because they are still getting all types of attention from other guys in their 20's and 30's and can't figure out why they can't fine a good man. Or they are ones with kids and want a man to provide, neither of which I find attractive.

But let me be honest, even a older lady has to be physically attractive and have taken care of her self. And any women at my age that is more than 5 years older gives me pause. Because at 46 and 51 everything is great... but what happens when I am 55 and she is 60, or 65 and she is 70?

I do. Not women in their 50s but through their 40s absolutely.

Honestly I'd say a guy who's maybe 2 years younger than me but never had anyone really before and I'm still only 18 as of April so shit I have a long way to go but older guys I'd say 24yr work for me it's not so much that I think guys my own age aren't mature it's just that guys older than me have so much more figured out in life even if it's not a lot and they've had experience with woman maybe which means I won't ever have to be mistreated again if I were to get into a relationship with a guy my age at the moment. Which frankly is what I'm really worried about at this point.

AsaKyo · Accepted Answer

It's just that they're fresh out of high school or still in high school and they're really immature, I don't know  Would be kind of weird

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Yes, I am very much attracted to older women, as long as they are in reasonably good condition for their age. But I am still attracted to younger women also. I just have enough sense to admire them from a distance and leave it at that.

Finchie40 · Answer

Yes age doesn’t really matter to be honest , it’s the chemistry and connection that matters and of course the attraction , Holding age as a deciding factor is only limiting yourself from someone that could be amazing to you , I met Girls that were way younger than me that were way more mature than girls my age or older , so age is definitely not a deciding factor for me unless she is under legal age then yes I stay clear of that shit But if an attractive under legal age girl is hitting on me I just tell her wait til she’s 18 and I will bang her on her 18th birthday if she is willing to wait til then and if I am still single by then lol Bottom line if I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye and I approach her to strike up a conversation, the first words out of my mouth isn’t going to be hold are you, That would be kind of silly if you think about it , But if the topic of age comes up later in the conversation and I found out she is 10 years or more younger than me or 10 years or more older than me , I am not all of a sudden going to not like her anymore , so that’s why age really doesn’t bother me

Makeushiver · Answer

I've met fascinating women decades younger and decades older thAn myself. Some women have enough inner integrity to remain beautiful all of their lives. Some burn out by the time they graduate high school. Falling into an intellectual rut, I guess. Same things with guys. It's almost a Newtonian law that states for however much po[ularuty and acclaim while you were say age 15-24 will be taken aw1ay- like the story of Job. I don't think it's ever too late to expand your horizons by getting out of your comfort zone. Every chioi you make now wi;; create a dozen new decisional down the road. If you stay stuck into your HS celebrity statusa you wil miss so many future opportunities. It seems that the issues confronting somwone turning arecloser too the way we decided what we liked at age 8. At both ends of the spectrum most of the peiple you're close to are people you actually like. There is so much less consideration of what someone can get for you in the future. Both 80 & 8 year old's can have fun poking ant hills =to bother the ants. No promotions given, no competing iver salaries

NathanDavis · Answer

I am attracted to women, and that's pretty much it...

and then they might be slightly ~chronologically~ older or younger than me, or same age as my, that's just situational for me... I do not make it a point or a factor of attraction

I focus on other things like compatibility and maturity because those are definitely more important to me

I've met and I've got to know incredibly women that happened to be older than me, two years old, four or five years older... and one that was even 10 years older than me and not only she was all kinds of great in many ways, but she also looked "younger than me" initially I thought she was 20 something... lmao, but she just happened to be a full decade older than me

DermalPunch · Answer

Why are women getting so butt hurt over Leo Dicaprio's taste in women? I mean is he the last man on earth and do you really want a shot with him? I personally have never found him even the least bit attractive. His spirit doesn't sit right with me.

My partner is over a decade younger than me.

77five · Answer

Used to be into older guys until I saw how grossly they speak on women’s ages. So now Im kinda not into men at all. Or women. Im just turned off from men. Focusing on making money and supporting myself now. No thank you to dating. I only have about a year left until Im “ancient” anyways 🙄

Agent_Elflord · Answer

I am. Not sure why, maybe I just don’t have that shutoff part in my brain that tells me that anyone older than me by 5 or more years is old and unattractive.

I think it’s potentially a good thing though, because I’m attracted to pregnant women, bbws, and older women, so the way I figure, I am most likely going to be attracted to the woman I’m with, no matter the changes that life makes to her body. I’m not gonna be upset just because she’s not always gonna have the body of a perky 20-something.

Effably · Answer

Somehow it is very funny to me that your image of how we view a 25 year old is a 46 year old woman.

Of course people older than me can also be attractive. You'd struggle to find a guy here that does not think our Carice Van Houten is good looking and again, 46. You've got little to worry about.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

It's not impossible. I find you attractive, and I'm a year younger. But where I live, most women older than myself that would be instantly attracted to me and approach me, I'd be highly suspicious of her true motives.

Haha456 · Answer

I'm 27 right now. The youngest I would date is 25. Because guys any younger than 25 are honestly just kids. They just dont have the maturity. My oldest would be 35. And the reason is I want to marry someone I can grow old with. You can't grow old with someone who is already old.

GlassTop · Answer

I’d say 30 is my limit for woman date range. By 30 they’ve probably been in multiple relationships, maybe kids, divorced, etc. A single woman at 30 means something happened to them that is abnormal. If they are in a good career that prevents them from being in a relationship, have no kids, and aren’t screwing every weekend or few months with strangers or ex’s, then I’d be ok. But at that point, why not just go for the 22yo? Less baggage, less body count, better sex, etc. If you got kids or divorced, it’s automatically a nope from me.

Avicenna · Answer

Occasionally never was in my 20s or 30s, though), but rarely date them, and when I have it hasn't lasted long. Women older than me are at a different stage in life (I plan to work into my 80s), so it doesn't make sense to date someone who won't be working when I still I am.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Yes.
There are a lot of hot soccer moms out there, and empty nester.
The nice thing about older women is that they are more secure in their lives, both professionally and financially.
Their kids are older or on their own.
They know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it.

menina · Answer

If this question was posted when I was 20, I would say no I would never date a guy younger than me. But now that I'm 30, I'm trying to be more flexible Lol So, I would date a 25 year old.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I would prefer it be no more than a 3 year gap up and down. 4 is making exceptions. Anything more is too much. If they are younger, I’d prefer they be done with college already. If they are older, I’d prefer they not still be in college

Trina581 · Answer

sunflower00 · Answer

I don’t think I would date anyone younger than me unless it was a couple months, but I wouldn’t date anyone much older than me either, maybe 3 years at most

sheikalana · Answer

I would not date a younger man. I did it the past and it wasn't the best experience.

Smoothing · Answer

Gees @Pinay_ako not as old as the grandma you put their.

Berethor · Answer

Not for a serious relationship, when I was younger I would consider it, but now that I am 34, women my age and older are becoming too old to have children, they are hitting the wall. Men usually prefer young women, because of superior looks and fertility, men get old, women get replaced trope, nice meme by the way, Leonardo DiCaprio might be exaggerating it, but his preferences make sense.

lalaloveee · Answer

Old women... Hmm.. old women can be of interest to any man who wants to explore the driest lands in the world.

HighValue · Answer

Physically, yes. Mentally/their personality? No. And I want kids, so I am not interested in them for that reason, besides the other reasons I have.

Aerolyn · Answer

Yeah. I'm gonna assume we're primarily talking about physical attraction here, so Imma say the reason is that I just so happen to find some older woman physically attractive.

Crafteroon · Answer

It's not the years or the miles, but how well it's been maintained. You can be young and already too bitter to be attractive, or older and still sweet and delicious.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

Older women tend to be more forthright & straightforward in their wants & dislikes. In my 20s I was hooking up with my 50+ coworker I was fine with it but she was too nervous about going legit.

Unfortunately, nowadays women older than me have purple hair and wrinkled thick tights. Definitely not a turn on. Now I just look at younger ladies, reminisce and regret the wasted years.

Occasionally I do see an attractive woman 5-10 years older than me. I used to not even notice women older than me.

Absolutely, especially in my younger years and still now (if they have taken care of themselves).
