Can older men really attract younger women?

This is spot on based on what I've observed. That being said, I do know some people in happy marriages with large age gaps. However, most of these couples are 50-something men with 30-something women, so it remains to be seen how these marriages play out as the men age.

Or maybe not very attractive younger woman who can’t find a husband in her own age group. I’ve seen that, too.

I have a friend who is 53 and getting a divorce and he is in fantastic physical shape and has a very young, playful attitude (although he has a very serious job, so he's not a perpetual child). He is currently dating a 30-year old. While I can understand the attraction, I am shocked that she wants to have multiple kids with someone who is going to be in his 70's when their first kid would graduate from high school. She has A LOT of issues, so there's that, but I also think she's just not seeing beyond the here and now. I think in 5 years if they're still together she'll be shocked at how old he seems.

If she wants money or a pregnancy, anything is possible.

I read about these age gap relationships on the internet 100x more often than I see them in the wild.

It depends on what she wants out of the relationship.

Depends on how much money they have and how willing they are to date younger and poorer women.

total BS. a solid career is like promised note for tomorrow. it doesn't mean she can spend it now. older men's money is here to spend already. me think you are jealous

Women with bad relationships with one or both parents also sometimes like me a lot. Also foreign women, since expectations about age gaps are different in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, etc.

That sounds about right. The only women into this are ones who were abused by their parents or partners. Pretty sad for them.

You know , not all young women are focused on spending the old men’s money. The best ones are building careers, studying and dating other young professionals.

Jealous of what? Having to spend the prime years of your life playing nursemaid to an old man?

This. I'm not sure why it's complicated.

A 30 year old guy working 50+ hours is going to have less energy than a 50 year old working 35 hours per week and affording a personal trainer, healthier food, etc.

There are multiple factors.

This. It’s totally uncomplicated. The size of their wallet determines the hotness they can attract.

I’m 37F and make about 500k. I’ve been dating guys in the 48-53 year old age range, and it’s just right for me? I feel like a lot of 37 year old men are just still maturing- it’s strange. I’m honestly attracted to the salt and pepper, more mature look. I’m 5’5” 125, in good physical heath, and enjoy activity. I’m not bad looking but definitely not model hot (don’t have time for that haha).
I obviously don’t need their money! But I also want someone who’s more of an equal and as a professional/business owner, guys in this age range are more likely to keep up/feel less threatened.

Direct PP here. Marrying someone with a trust fund is an absolute no for me. I 100% prefer someone who has made their own money.
