Most guys that have approached me are younger than me, I am 32 and apparently guys are deceived by my looks and assume that I’m 25-27. I’m not sure if once I reveal my age they are surprised or disappointed. I’m not going to lie, the age thing doesn’t bother me but I always end up insecure and unsure for not knowing if that matters to them or if they are truthful about not caring about that. I’ve ended two good relationships for that reason. So does age affect your interest in a woman of is unimportant?
Most men just appreciate good looks, or someone that looks good to us, there is a time, usually when we are younger, where we are worried about age, and I think that stems from our environments and peer culture. Where I grew up it was expected that the man always be older than the woman. Once I got older, around my 30's, I didn't care at all.
I ended up dating a woman that was around 52 when I was 34, and she was a belly dancer. She was so awesome, a little too hippie for my tastes, but she looked amazing!! Sex was phenomenal, and not a single time did I worry about how old she was. I actually never asked her. She sat me down and explained her age one day, and I just sat there like, "Oh, that's cool. Wanna go find some nature trails?" lol. Like I didn't even think about it.
Now, that is me. That doesn't speak for every other man on the planet, but I personally feel that men have come to be more accepting of age when it comes to women. I believe, whole heartedly, that women feel that age matters because of the way media, news, social media, portrays things. It always "seems" like men care about age and that younger women are better, but most of us men don't even pay attention to it. Take care!!
Well let me start with saying that nobody is the same. For me as long as a woman was of child bearing age I would date her (for the simple fact of wanting to have children).
But I think that you need to find a guy that makes you feel secure and not judging you. That is what a LOT of men need to do as well and not try and impress women who aren't even worth it to begin with.
But if you're the only one thinking that. You could simply ask the guy that you are with. Ask him if your age bothers him or not. I would not mind at all if I am 20 going out with a woman 30 maybe 40 at most. MAYBE if she was a awesome woman. As well as I could see myself at 30 going out with someone whose 20 or maybe a few years younger (not younger then 18 though I don't know if I would really want to be with someone that young anyways)
I wish you the best and if you really like a guy then make a move on him yourself as well. Otherwise your only options are going to be men that approach you.
Yea... For some men and for some women age is a thing. Some people care not everyone is the same. Some want the same age or close. Some want someone older and some want younger.
Ok, I am seeing sooooo many post about age gaps. Like, what is up? I mean it's so hard to find someone who you are attracted to, connect with and doesn't abuse or take advantage of you. Like who cares are old they are within not being a nasty pedophile reason.
Im not attracted to young girls. I've got 7 girls of my own plus my 18 female grandaughters out of 23 grandchildren. So i have a huge idea how teens act. And im aware of how some older souls can be the same as younger one respectively.
It’s an interesting question since I had a discussion with friends on this topic. In my honest opinion, I would say YES, age matters. Since I wouldn’t date someone much older or much younger than me, since way of thinking, morality, importance given to things changes with generations. And I can say that I can’t relate well with people with more or less 10 years compared to my age, since they had different life experiences and lived in a different world with a different way of growth compared to mine. To resume, I think age matters since it creates a gap in the way of making choices and see the world around us.
My SO is age 55. She is very good looking, but 55 is not the same as age 25 (the body isn't the same).
The SO would like to have sex twice a day, but I'm happy with twice a week- it gives me a chance to go to the golf course and the shooting range. If she was age 25, then twice a day would be amazing!
No i wouldn't be concerned about it. If you are 32 and look somewhere around 25-27 , that would be enough for me. Whats matters the most is an emotional connection. Age is actually not a concern for me and you shouldn't be concerned about it either. If a guy likes you and isn't concerned about your age , you shouldn't have second thoughts.
I used to worry about stuff like that a long time ago, now I don't really care. She could be 25 or 45. If she's cute and interested in me I'm just gonna enjoy the attention. Life's too short to be fussy about that.
I’m 23. Me and my good buddy set a scale. Due to our age and place in life, we feel it is only logical to date girls between the age of 22 and 30. Outside of that, you either have too young and not enough life experience, or very life experienced and not looking for guys our age. Maybe we’re wrong 🤷🏻♂️ but that’s how we feel.
Yes, I try to stick within a range of my own age, as we are more likely to have similar experiences and not just one person leaning too heavily on the other. However age doesn't always equal experience, so it's not a deal breaker for me.
I have never liked a woman, never shown any interest in a woman. I mean not romantically.
Whatever interactions I have will be professional or as an acquaintance only. One thing that will never change is that I always find super short BOY CUT hairstyle with toned physique as attractive and appealing on a woman. This thinking will never change.
You have trust issues then which is frankly an even bigger issue. Everyone would have a shocked reaction if your young looking but older. Embrace that!
yes, but it is certainly not in the top 10 of my interests. if a guy is interested in a family - especially a large one - then it may be an issue. as with looks, it's an indicator of what's within. if it matters to you, then consider why. ultimately, you're the one who needs to be most comfortable with it. personally - if it's a hangup for a guy, then you should move on.
Yes. There’s nothing more difficult than an insecure woman who thinks their man looks better than them. Given both that Men Value increase with Age and Woman Insecurity stays Constant THEN Age is a determining factor. At least 7 years younger‼️
@IsoUser It's a preference thing for me. Maybe I'm weird, but I find women 35-50 who keep themselves in shape to be much hotter than 25-20 year old women
As men grow older most of them become less interested in women. Bitter and usually expensive experience teaches men that women fail a cost/risk/benefit calculation. To use an American expression, the juice is not worth the squeeze.
Not really unless ya know over 50s I guess. I am very subjective to liking someone, have dated a 45 year old woman before shrugs. Obviously the younger aka to my age more better and stable though.
