Are women more attracted to men older than them?

Question

InknKink · Accepted Answer

Of course they are.

Not necessarily because older men are physically more attractive, but because the traits that women find attractive, those being competence, confidence, humour, lifestyle, emotional IQ, charisma, etc... these are developed skills/assets and are far more common in older men.

So as a 20 year old male, don't sweat it. You're at your lowest value to women while women your age are at their highest value points. The scale tip in the other direction as you age and develop further into life.

Based on my lifelong experience, Yes.

My ex-wife of 20 years was 4 years younger than me.

After our amicable divorce, 4 of the 5 women I dated were younger than me.

My current wife is an exception, sort of, we're about the same age; she's 6 weeks older than me.

I've heard some women say that experience and stability (emotional and economic) make older men attractive.

I personally am. Or at least within 2 years of my age. At this point in my life I need someone with experience in life, love, and relationships. I would actually also prefer some who has been married and divorced and doesn’t want kids (or any more). Haha. Too much? I just want a man that is emotionally intelligent and in my experience that comes with age.

I think it depends on your phase of life. When I was younger most guys I was attracted to seemed older. Now its a mix of younger guys and guys my age. The pool of men has expanded for me with age.

Most of them do , but not everyone of them is that way , I been with girls’ older than me that came on to me , so it just comes down to what she will accept and not accept.

Women are attracted to men that are FEW YEARS OLDER than them, not old men.

Not saggy, wrinkly old men with erectile dysfunction and hair loss with a bad knee.

I am a young woman, myself, and I'm not attracted to old men. My ideal husband is someone just 4-8 years older than me.

Take a look at the vast majority of commenters who claim that women love old men, they're mostly old men who are saying this.

You will rarely ever find a young woman who says she is into old saggy men.

Dont confuse an old ugly 55 yr old man with an attractive 34 yr old who is just a few years older than her.

RavVid · Answer

According to marriage stats yes. And since most married couples dated it would probably apply to dating couples.

From memory only 10% of husbands are younger than their wives and only by a couple of years. So pretty universal.

Excepting Monsieur Macron who prefers a mommy sized age gap.

awesomesauce2005 yes 👀 and I should know at 31 by now.
Many women in their earlier 20s have eyeballed me up and down and even eyeballed me when they thought I was oblivious 👀☺️😶
Clearly they "just want resources" aka - older man, has a car, has a job, has money, has his own place.
None of which I as an older man have 😞😜😅

Im 44 and friends with a very attractive young security gaurd at my office. She asked why I flirt but never ask her out. And I told her im more than 20 years older than you and dreadfully loyal do my equally dreadful wife. She's way out of my league. 25 tops.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Most are probably, but I am only going by my personal experience. Most men are immature until they reach their 30s at least, and not many women need that in their lives.

Miristheiss · Answer

Yes. I think women have always generally paired up with guys their exact same age or 2 to 4 years older.

bobalife · Answer

More common women, yes. But I do prefer someone my age or near my age from older to younger.

Crimsyjo · Answer

I used to be from 16 to 30. Then I started liking younger guys.

WhiteThought · Answer

Overwhelmingly. Women will reject a guy for being 1 to 2 years younger, like that's a wide age gap. They are younger, therefore rejected, regardless of how great they would be.

Flower7 · Answer

Women are more attracted to older lovers than men are.

Anonymous · Answer

No. Vile. Old men were always winking at me when I was a teenager. Now I see them as maga. And most likely identifiable through Epstein black book.

Abbycado · Answer

I’m not and the girls I know my age aren’t either.

i_Jedi · Answer

Yeah, a lot of women do find older men more attractive because they often seem more mature and stable. I actually saw this talked about by Jared Laurence on IG, he explains why that happens.

beenherebefore · Answer

I always preferred someone older or similar age as me.

JailyneMariaH · Answer

Panthero80 · Answer

Some are and some aren't. Women are individuals who like different things.

Some girls are, but probably not all of them.
