Do older men prefer younger women, older women or same age for long term relationships.

Younger women

Older women

Same age women

[OlderAndWiser]

I will be 67 years old in two weeks, so I guess I am qualified to answer this question.

Although I am 66, I am very healthy, active, still working full-time, and I do not have any medical conditions which would compromise my life expectancy (such as hypertension or diabetes.) Most of the women older than me are beginning to have health problems and I am not interested in being a personal attendant to someone who is ill. If I was already in a relationship and my partner became ill, I would be very loyal and take care of her. . . but I don't want to begin a relationship in that role.

So, most of the women I date are either my age or younger than me. The idea of dating a much younger woman is exciting in a lustful way but I also know that it is unrealistic to think that a 30 year old woman would be interested and, even if I found a much younger woman who was interested, we probably would not have ufficient common interests and goals to sustain a relationship.

The bottom line is that most of the women I have dated have been between ten years younger to two years older than me, with the vast majority being slightly younger.

Age doesn’t really matter to me , it’s the connection and chemistry that matters , when 2 people Remove selfishness for each other and sacrifice for each other that’s where love grows , I dated younger girls that had more maturity than girls that were my age or older so again age doesn’t play a factor on who I fall for , We can only give what we want to receive , when you meet someone that makes you a priority like you make them you are best to stick with that person and make it work instead of being selfish and keeping your options opened to someone else or allowing someone to treat you like a convenience, then that turns into a one sided relationship, Kind of what I am going through right now with a girl I been seeing , I was honest with her that her selfishness is pushing me away,, so I told her if she wants this relationship to grow to start changing her ways or I am out, I like her and care about her but I don’t feel love for her considering she doesn’t really show me love and she doesn’t know what she wants , so I said that’s fine but don’t be upset if I meet someone else. So my options are opened cuz I am not receiving what I am giving , I am not going to be someone’s sitting duck that’s one thing I learned not to do when I was in previous relationships , I was a punching bag before and I won’t be one again , if someone can’t show me love and trust then I can’t show them, that is the way I look at it , I been lied to in so many relationships to the point it’s hard for me to trust someone that can’t be honest with me , when I am honest with them. Today’s world is so lost when it comes to relationships cuz people today are very selfish , I feel social media played a big part of destroying peoples out looks on relationships , so for me to fully commit to someone I need to feel they are fully committed to me , if not it’s just a waste of time and something to do is how I look at it

Average men prefere 1-6 years younger women according to statistics about age gap among married couple.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Everyone is different. It just depends on the individual lol.

[caring__1]

There is no standard regarding preferences of others. There are men who like feeling younger and energized by younger women, and there are men who like the familiarity and comfort of someone in their own generation. Rebound relationships are likely to be with younger women, as these guys may be looking for reassurance, along with opportunities to prove their manhood. Some men prefer arm candy, while others prefer an equal partner they can collaborate with, discuss key issues and work toward common goals. I personally prefer women in my generation, but you can find men of all ages that will be drawn to you at your age. Just realize that your age will change, so they may lose interest when you no longer fit into their ideal range.

I think it's rather obvious, and scary for women over 30 looking for a serious relationship to be frank. If you look below, even men in their 50's are inclined to choose women in their 20's. From my personal experience, I've never in my life seen a guy over 30 looking for a 30 something woman, they always choose a younger one, but I believe this might be because of the desire to feel young again, or even deep biological reasons, but this is not the majority of men, any generalization is dumb and for sure some men prefer older women for their capacity to be more active as a partner in thigs like business.

[Jamie05rhs]

The last sentence you wrote is important to me. I want someone mature and serious-minded.

[Electmen]

@Jamie05rhs Yeah, some men choose to date older women just because of that. I'm met lot's of women but the deepest conversations I've ever had was with women older than me. Of course this is not the case for every older woman, some of them still behave like a teenagers. But if you're looking for someone to count on in the long run, an older woman would be a better choice.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Electmen Right.

[OpenClose]

I mean basically as a guy you'll be generally attracted to women around your age and younger, and then have some exceptions for older women.

But otherwise, as you age, it basically increases your maximum age and your minimum age remains relatively unchanged or raises much more slowly.

[MTC29]

I like women a few years younger: I'm 61 and my SO is 54.

For me, her being 6 years younger is just right. She tells me that she is more comfortable with men who are a few years older.

[PeterSmith1983]

Any age as long as I like her and she likes me. What age guys do you prefer?

[Asker]

I definitely prefer a older man, I have dated my age, younger and older, I find older man more attractive 😁

[PeterSmith1983]

Lucky old men :) what was the biggest age difference you dated?

[Asker]

I am 30 the oldest man I have dated was 45, I'm currently in love with a man of 40, He doesn't know yet though 🤣👍

[PeterSmith1983]

All very reasonable:) pm?

[Guido]

When younger, older women are hot and as we age the opposite is true and younger women become our preference. And as a result, my wife is older than me. Now I tease her that I should trade her in for a couple of younger models that together total her age. We have fun with it.

[Jamie05rhs]

I prefer someone who is the same age as me. Or at least 30.

[MJtheCoach]

Men want younger. Is only natural. As subconsciously she will have better and healthier eggs.


Even though they might not want kids. But is promoted in our nature.

[mickeystoned]

Well for me because the women in the same age are slightly older are more mature the younger women are not quite mature yet when you get a little older you want to slow down and enjoy life with your partner it's not a status thing

[LikeALog]

I have to say all the above. Six or seven years either way is fine. I depends on the traits of the individual.

[notwoke]

there's no woman my age or older I want to spend time with unless I have no choice like at work or some family obligation

[AviatorTom]

For sex (if not in a relationship), younger women.
For a relationship, same age or slightly older women.

[MuddyMole]

After a certain age, they'll probably take what they can get, to be honest.

[jerdanro]

I'm 51 and the youngest woman I would want to date would be in her late 30s. Sure, 20 somethings can be physically attractive and great people, but there's just too much of a culture gap in most cases.

[user1516]

Sir you’re 51 respectfully a 20 something year old wouldn’t even bat an eye unless you were Tom Hiddleston.

[jerdanro]

They have actually, and many do with older, more established men.

[user1516]

Again With all due respect but realistically, ‘Twas probably because they were looking for a sugar daddy or something. But no woman in their early 20’s would actually date someone old enough to be their father. It’s creepy.

[jerdanro]

I agree it's creepy, which is why I don't do it. And you're exactly right. Many of those young women eant a sugar daddy, some are just curious.

[PeachJuice]

Most older men prefer younger women because most are pedophiles.

[jerdanro]

Do you really think most older men prefer pre-pubescent girls?

[finefriends]

Either you're crazy hot and every penis in the city is after you or you're 19 in your prime and dude pay you no mind. So, you hate on men.

[PeachJuice]

@finefriends I was just playing around, I know not all guys are pedos lmao.

[genericname85]

older men prefer younger women, younger women preer older men. it has always been like that and it always will be.

[McKellar]

I'm not going to lie,... that literally doesn't matter with me. If the woman is younger, close to, same age or older than I am,... doesn't matter with me.

[Anonymous]

Beginning in their late 20s or early 30s men tend to prefer younger women.

[vpandav]

I think most guys prefer younger women because of the mental setback guys have. They tend to be mentally behind and choosing a younger partner would make them feel on the same mental level.

[Anonymous]

Younger obviously. But that doesn’t mean I am not open minded to dating same age women if they have good personalities.
