I know, and it drives me nuts. On the other hand, I can safely sell my memoirs as fiction with none the wiser. |

Early 50-something divorced male here.
This thread has been a load of crap, clearly intended only to be provocative. Via my online dating life (going on 13 years), I have not met a single woman, who has not had her own story of being inundated with e-mail come-ons from men (claiming to be) in their 20's. I believe it. Many men have the "older woman/cougar" fantasy. So, now, we have a whole thread devoted to demeaning the "worth" of "older women?" No, i don't think so. And, to all you beautiful, vital, smart, sexual women of a "certain age," here I am, and I would love to hear from you (via the screen handle, which I'm not posting under; sarcasm). Go ahead my younger compadrés, flame me with insults about being bald, fat, having no game, wishing I could land much younger women, and being impotent. None of it is true, although I'll never sport your washboard abs. |
Spoken like someone who hasn't lived much in San Francisco. |
BUT BUT BUT THIS IS FALSE! HOW DARE YOU SPREAD THIS LIE! Sincerely, DCUM harpies |
Our wallets, right? |
Fine with me, as long as you leave afterward. |
Women aren't attracted to desperate men, you were supposed to learn this years ago. |
By having the ability to easily have sex with older and younger women, I do not feel that I have a restriction in choice. I enjoy older women, and respect the men who could settle down with them. I could not because I fear the difference in attractiveness as we both get older. I do not feel this way with younger women (although I enjoy the sex with older women more.) |
Never? I'd take that bet. Your clock is ticking. |
| Women can be very arrogant about all this because cats. |

Even studies show that women become invisible to men at a certain age, a man who could have a young attractive woman would always go for her it is a matter of biology and i say that as a woman. I don't get why some people try to deny the truth.
No younger guy with value would go for an older woman, it is just what it is, but it is the same for men too, the average middle aged man doesn't get much attention either if he isn't rich. |
| There is one very angry troll posting right now. Someone please pass me the popcorn |
Or, once in a million, you meet someone who is so attractive to you mentally and physically, the age difference is irrelevant. This person understands and sees the beautiful younger ladies, but finds you irresistible and falls in love because you fit together so well. This man doesn't run with societal norms, has suffered incredible loss and sees the deeper reason for partnership and love. We honestly don't notice any age difference, tho as a divorced man in his 40's, he could be chasing young women. Signed, older, plain but smart lady with a man 7 years younger. |
Of course there is always the exception to the rule but most men are rather shallow. You sound like you found your soulmate but most people aren't that lucky. And no need to bring the popcorn i'm not a troll, i'm a middle aged mom who looks fairly attractive for her age, at least i hope so. But i'm not delusional, if my hubby and i would divorce i couldn't compete with a woman in her 20s or in her 30s. Why should a young man, and this thread was about younger men and older women, go for me when he could easily date a woman his own age or younger. Like i said, it's the same with older man, why should a young woman go for an older man if it isn't for money, most people like to date in their own age range. There are exceptions of course but these are exactly that; exceptions. |
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. |
