Is there something wrong if a woman prefers much older men?

[Anonymous]

lets say a 25 year old prefers men in their 40s or older. would you say there's something wrong with them mentally/psychologically for wanting men that old?

Yes

No

Old enough to be their parent is fine as long as the older person doesn't already have kids. Old enough to be their grandparent is always a bad idea in my opinion.

Gen Z women and late gen X/early gen Y men have more common interests, so it makes sense.

[Loki97]

As men age our value raises with our accomplishments. Our ability to provide and protect come with experience.

[Apple1996]

No it's fine as long as everyone is grown. It's only really creepy when older men go after barely legal teens tho that's where it becomes a problem cuz like why would a grown person wanna fuck/date someone they cannot even take to a bar? Lol

[smashleyy]

I wouldn’t say wrong but definitely daddy issues to some degree

[Sarah2007]

I only make friends and I totally don't mind having a friend who is way older than me.

My oldest friend is 34 years old and we are very close good friends as we talk all the time and have our own unique ways of having fun together.

I don't see an issue with having an older friend than me.

I like older men becuase I can relate better to them... I'm not a party girl stay out all night kind of person but most people my age are so tend to go for a man who is over that stuff and can actually have a meaningful conversation with thats not blow your brains out lol another reason may be they don't want kids or can't have kids so they go for men who already do or older ones that don't want kids either

My fiance is 27, and I am 50. She found me on twitter, and she initiated the conversation. I told her how old I am very early on. She didn't expect my age, but she quickly accepted it. She is an introvert, so getting to know her has been a challenge. She claims that she has told me more than anyone she knows. We are still working on finding commonality, but we are both working on it. I don't think the issue is age.

[RiseofArtemis]

Over a certain age I think yes, if she's 20 and wants a guy that's 50 then she's just looking for a father figure. Daddy replacement if she never had one.

[red-lipstick-girl]

I am in love with someone older than me. There are reasons why I like a man with a well-established character, profession and stance.

[mandyfire98]

I personally don't find it strange. I like older men.

[Animalvan]

I agree with you. Age shouldn't stop you from loving someone

[AnonAndrew]

No, there's nothing wrong. We all have our own individual preferences. :) As long as we're talking about consenting adults then it's fine.

[MoonFace2]

I find it a bit wrong and a bit creepy that men and women that age hit on people young enough to be their children.

[Asker]

What about the other way around?

[MoonFace2]

Still creepy (to me). Or she/he (young person); is probably using the older person for money. I mean, what could they possibly have in common?

[MoonFace2]

I get hit on by young guys late teens up to twenties sometimes on dating apps and I think they just want experience.

[MoonFace2]

What is your opinion?

[Vegasrunner]

@moonface2 I think this is the part women fail to understand, men aren't looking for women based on what they have in common, we are looking for them based off their beauty.

[MoonFace2]

@Vegasrunner I do agree that younger women are the most beautiful. On the other hand, I know for a fact that not all men date women young enough to be their daughters. If that were the case, men wouldn’t be getting married to older women and staying with them.

[Vegasrunner]

@moonface2 I think I see your confusion. You don't know for "a fact" what u mean to is in your opinion. Also all is not a pre-requisite for truth, I'm not sure why women do this, but by using the qualifier all, you do realize you validate the point?

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

Have you ever done anything with any of those younger guys?

Did they not know how old you were? Or did they not care?

[MoonFace2]

@SuchSightsToShowYou nope I haven’t wanted to. They knew my age.

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

You're not attracted to younger guys? Or you weren't attracted to THOSE younger guys?

You must look really good for your age, if you're 36 and getting hit on by teenagers.

[MoonFace2]

@SuchSightsToShowYou I’m I guess, very pretty, despite being overweight and I’ve had modelling opportunities with a real modelling agency.

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

so you're like a plus-sized model? Or you could be if you wanted?

But you would never date a teenager? Or like mess around with one?

[MoonFace2]

@SuchSightsToShowYou I could be if I wanted. Which came as a surprise. I don’t look like a typical model type.

[MoonFace2]

Nope. I like men up to five years younger and five years older.

[marshmallowcream]

I wouldn’t think there’s something wrong everyone has a preference

[Abbycado]

It would be strange for me, but people are allowed to like what they like.

[Anonymous]

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is 72. His girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is 24.

[Anonymous]

It's just unusual, but it's not much of a difference.

If he was over 50 years old, and she was only 20, that would be too much difference.

[Twalli]

There might be a problem with much older men wanting very young women though.

[Kingofkings1992]

There 3 questions: is it legal? Is it consensual? Is everyone involved safe? After that, it’s nunya

[danielle872024]

Nothing wrong

[AviatorTom]

Everyone has preferences, nothing wrong with that

[exitseven]

No, it usually is all about money

[pinconon]

everyone is allowed to have preferences

[LiamJHayden]

Preferences just are.

[katiesmuff]

No it isn't

[Animalvan]

Agree 100 percent
