NYTs: Older Women Are in Demand by Younger Men

My view? Both parties want low drama. The woman in her mid 40s already has a house, kids, her own money - she doesn't want a guy with baggage. The younger guy in his early 30s is avoiding the pressure put on by his peers to have babies, buy the house, go for the brass ring.

Everyone is avoidant.

What…..??

The economic state of the world is so bad that the young men are getting Sugar Mamas. Sad state of affairs.

I don’t think most 40 something women are sugar mammas but they don’t expect any financial contribution from men either - younger women expect men to pay for dates, buy them an engagement ring, etc. older women just expect men to cover themselves. It’s different than older men dating younger women - in that scenario, men pay for more than just dates.

I'm early 40s and have a big following on social media, mostly men.

Men 40s-60s are angry, bitter, say the most horrific and disgusting things, and use my page to vent about "feminism ruined this" and "women ruined that". Today I had some weird 50 year old post a multi-paragraph comment about how his former college girlfriend is *gasp* a size 8 with PCOS, and he's so glad because he's not stuck with her and has women fighting just to get a date with him (sure, buddy). Like, let it go dude, it's been 30 years.

Meanwhile I get hundreds upon hundreds of DMs from 20s-30s men saying nice things, offering to send me money, offering to help me out.

Of course this is a biased sample, and there are disgusting 25 year olds and very sweet 50 year olds. But it's pretty easy for me to see why women prefer younger men. Older men are just...bitter.

Aren’t we all though, after a certain age? While aging is certainly better than the alternative, it still sucks. It is nice to be around younger people just to get away from all the cynicism in this world.

It is true. I am 48. I divorced at 42. I have mostly dated men 10 to 18 years younger than me. I’m not interested in re-marrying. No one has ever asked me for money. I’m always the one who wins it. It works perfectly. I live in Northern Virginia.

Typo above: I am always the one who ends it.

I find most much younger men who hit on me weird or kind of not sane intellectual development. And because it’s important for me to connect intellectually to be sexually attracted to a man, I would rather be single

No, bad sex does.

My brother, the eternal bachelor, told me that dating older women "takes the pressure off." They either already have children or don't want any. They have money from a previous marriage, established career or both. Almost all have been married before so not trying to get a man to put a ring on it. They know how to run their household and don't wait around for a guy to entertain them. They also are experienced sexually and appreciate a younger guy who can keep up.

How old are these guys? That has not been my experience.

Yeah,
Mom bod is better.

Don't you worry about that. It's their choice and most have no problem with woman's bodies.
I have been young and cute. Nobody cared about my body. They only wanted to do it. Half the time my clothes stayed on as they were too eager and came fast.
I may finally meet the 30-year old who has been asking me out for months now. I really don't care about the age too much if we are just to hang out and have fun. I can come back and tell you how it went.
My other 'friends' range from 35-48 (my age). I also like someone who is 64, but he never does anything fun.
