    I suppose you could all tired and that's happened Mommy issues, neglect issues via the mother, or just submit the fact that you are mature and find them attractive. As for myself I've always liked my mates to be older. And as always been since Young, my mom knew this too and she probably at best assumed but was very close that I would lose my virginity to an older woman. And yes I remember 17 going on 18 there was a 30 plus year old woman that I was very much into and trying to really get into, and I almost have the chance it just slipped away. Basically what I'm saying is I think it's based upon all these things but mainly I think it's the maturity of the individual that willingly pursues and attractive older woman. Apparently she is something that he likes and perhaps he has not been able to find others his age or a little older, so he went for a different variety of female. I mean would we assume to that most of the women who were once girls that dated older men have daddy issues or do we call the older men that have dated younger perverts as well as the woman or do we say that they all have parenting issues lol

      That’s actually not a bad idea for some of these incels. Maybe they should stop trying to chase 20 year olds and find an older woman who would appreciate them more.

      @Flower7 you know what there's a true points in that. They can appreciate and know the woman then the old woman could possibly appreciate them but take care of them just the same. Perhaps both are missing a certain peace within each other's lives or experiences therefore filling in that void should be quite easy

    No, I have a great relationship with my mom. My girlfriend is 41, and I’m 25. We love each other. And after a ton of girls, younger, my age, and slightly older by 2-5 years. I have never been happier in a relationship. We even treat each other like it’s our last day on earth together.

    I don't see it as mommy issues. The person who prefers older women is the one who has to know if they have mommy issues or not. It's hard for an outsider to judge based upon a sentence only. But when I see a younger men dating an older women I think she likes her for who she his and maybe because she likes the fact that's probably more experienced than him.

    Nah. There’s scientific evidence that depending on the age your parents had you, it can impact who you see as attractive. For example, my biological dad is 7 years younger than my mom. I’m attracted to younger men (have to be at least 21 though lmao).

    Meh. It may be just young "InCels" getting an opportunity where they can. No, the relationships typically do not last, but he gets experience at last, she gets to feel desired by a young man again and "get her groove back". Win-win.

    if the female in question is roughly twice or more the age of the male then maybe. however maybe couples have a 3 to 15 year age gap between them. based on online surveys done by dating sites. typically it's a older male and younger female but it can be vise versa.

      This is exactly why I fell for my girlfriend too. Women my age and younger, most don’t even know what they want and have a ton of issues. My current girlfriend has her life together, and we share the same goals in life. We have yet to get into even the slightest argument, and we’ve been together for 6 months.

    I have mommy AND daddy issues (since worked out mostly, thanks therapy!), but the MILF attraction is real.

    Not always. It might mean someone is more mature than their peers at any given time. I’ve seen some people outgrow it.

    I don’t think so.

    Many girls date older guys, do they have daddy issues? Nope.

    Older women can be quite attractive.

    I always felt proud when at 18-19 my 40 yo mother turned more heads than I did.

    Only a sign of good taste 😌 Older women are under appreciated for the value of their beauty and charm. It seems only reasonable to eventually figure it out.

    It's been said so, yes. However. only you know your own issues. I can't say whether you have them or not. I know a lot of younger girls who go for older men, usually wind up having daddy issues

    by the way, my girlfriend is 58, so I guess I don't have mommy issues at present, but I have dated older women in the past.

    I mean I actually prefer women who are older than me by about 4 or 5 years. Still though I'm going to limit myself to between 1 and 2 years older than me so that way it's not awkward.
