Why are most women attracted to old men?

Question

They think men get hotter with age. I don’t think so, but I’m in the minority. I believe they only have themselves to blame when older men reject them for being older and choose younger women instead.

This seems much more common in the West. In India, most girls prefer younger celebrities and date guys who are either their age or up to 5–6 years older.

The oldest guy I dated was 37, and everyone said, ‘You can do better,’ even though he looked much younger and was in shape.

i think women tend to be more attracted to a wider age range then men (so including more older ages) but i really dont think women prefer much older than them at all typically. i think most girls prefer guys the same age or give or take a couple years generally tending with the guy being slightly older. personally i've always thought the hottest age for a guy was whatever age i was at the moment. seconded by the ages closest to me. i've never prefered older men over dudes my age, and i dont find actual old men attractive at all physically. i dont think most younger women find men pushing 50 and up attractive either

i dont know where you get the idea that in the west most girls prefer a lot older because that's not true at all. most couples (for people in my age range at least, early-mid 20s) is very close like same age or give or take 1-4 years

I guess we're both the minority then (a long with my friend group of girls). Never liked older men x)

Could be a personality thing. I tend to be more energetic/youthful, always down for an adventure and also... I found that when a guy is older, they tend to think they know better... Whereas a younger guy is more open to listening and considering your wisdom.. at least that's my experience.

I just don't connect as well to older guys :/ but can't be toooo young either of course

Mainly because of the maturity level and wisdom she receives from an older guy, Most younger girls’ I have dated all told me that they were drawn to to way I listened to them and made them feel heard and respected compared to guys’ her age

Old men are established. Which means security.  But there’s a very VERY small amount of women that are actually PHYSICALLY attracted to old men.

AviatorTom · Answer

We older guys are generally more experienced and stable, economically and emotionally, than younger guys.

Let's see well because older men are NOT MOMMAS BOY!

Well older men have the qualities like:

Intelligence, Maturity, have a mind of their own and they don't call or ask mommy for advice or permission.

Older men know what they want. Older men appreciate woman a lot more then a younger guy. Younger guys have a hard time letting mommy and nest go.

Let's see older men make woman feel like the wife and NOT THEIR MOTHERS!

With millennial guys you become their substitute mother. I did used to date guys my own age and guess what? They all turn out to be immature dumb jerk and only care about what mammy wants. Yeah will I have my reasons.

RageBabe · Answer

I believe that many of us are drawn to older men because they seem to have it together; in other words, we want someone who has life experience and the stability that many of them offer. Of course, not all older men are mature and have it together; some act quite immature and don't have their shit together, and for me and my girlfriends, it's not true that we desire to date older men for financial gain. I wish this stigma would go away. I don't see the same being said about younger men dating older women.

NathanDavis · Answer

I'm sure it is not just the looks... but also the experience, the personality, the stability... or just to go for a different experience

maturity can go a long long way with the ladies

but, case by case scenario... some women out there are into the looks of an older man and on that, it's just a preference, like many others, lol

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I'm not more attracted to older man.

I am attracted to emotional intelligence, good sense of humor, kindness... wisdom.

Things like that. Not all older men are my cup of tea in the looks or personality department.

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

I was good looking, athletic and popular in highschool and that does not matter in dating as much as having a nice house, having my own business, drive a nice car and can afford to travel a few times a year. I went on more first dates in a week at 50 than my entire 4 years of highschool. Wisdom, maturity and financial security come when you agere-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Colista Flockhart, and Harrison Ford have been together for eons. I just Googled her, and she is 59 and I think Ford is in his 80's, I don't understand that either, but they were MUCH younger when they became a couple... Read an article on line that Ford and Carrie Fisher were 'fucking' when they made Star Wars and he was 38 and she was 19 ?

Apple1996 · Answer

I'm not sure either. I've only ever been attracted to my same age or younger men. The majority of older men are super bitter about life. I've noticed the few good ones are already taken and their wife's have kept them in good shape/health and somehow kept them from being bitter.

Billlewis · Answer

A common goal for most women when they're dating is to receive as much attention and tangible material benefits as possible, but without having to have sex, or at least have sex with the guy who's providing said benefits. As an older guy myself, I wholeheartedly support this philosophy and I enjoy providing these kinds of benefits for the women whom I date and serve.

molonski2 · Answer

Yes , extremely common , I'd only ever date much younger than myself and its been like that for a very long time , not only in India , and South East Asia , but also in Australia , its the way of the world always been this way.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Older guys can generally provide better financial security and tend to be more mature, or at least less immature. espicially in the Unites States, it is easy to find a lot of guys my age (29) and older who have "failed to launch" meaning still living with parents (not as a cultural thing) not working or working poor-paying jobs as a pattern rather than as a temporary setback. Basically stuck i high school mode.

lin123_ · Answer

We aren't. I'm attracted to very few men, but could date some other men regardless. But only if they have taken care of themselves. But i prefer men my age +/- say 10 years

IslaTheWitch · Answer

wouldn't say "most"... some are... but still, most women have relationships inside their age group...

SunnyRS · Answer

I am not sure as I have not been with a girl much younger than me yet but i think the reason maybe they look for somewhat of a father figure that provides a sense of security to them. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

noohair · Answer

A man seeking younger women is part of the caveman brain that is left behind in modern humans. Guys do a calculation about passing on DNA. Older men also see older women as more problematic as they are seen as more set in their ways and the guy does not want to be fixed, just accepted as who there are. Women make the mistake of thinking they can change what they don’t like in a partner and that always ends badly.

CarolinaGirl5 · Answer

I find younger men to be annoying and don't have their lives together. I prefer stability and older men just look better and are more experienced re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

Kayleigh2005 · Answer

I listen and learn and they seem to really listen to me when something is important to me plus money 🤣🤣🤣

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I have to believe it is money. It could be the maturity level but I have never been attracted in my life to men older than me. So I honestly just think its because of money lol.

curious_lady · Answer

There are handsome men at every age, and some age well others not so much... And more than age it's about character, charisma and attitude... But I prefer younger men and men my age. I think with single men at older age there is usually a reason why they are single at 40, 50 etc. usually no use trying with those usually there is something wrong with them.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

No clue. I personally wouldn't want to be with a guy that much older than me. I look younger than my age, so I'd prefer a guy to look & be young like me.
