So no one is talking about you dude. 32 is young. I agree with you. You will probably be married by your late 30s so its a moot point anyway. But single men in their late 30s have much fewer options than you at 32.

Life comes at you fast. People on this board love to talk about how women are dried up by their late 30s but trust me, if you are a man who is never married in your late 30s there’s a huge stigma for a lot of a lot of women below 35… why hasn’t some hottie snapped you up?

My friends in their 40s who are dating younger men, the topic of this thread, are mostly dating mid to late 30s or early 40s divorced guys. No one is talking about a 32 year-old never married single guy.

Not really, there is a small pool of men looking for late 30s women its a weird age because they are almost too old for a family and need to come to terms with that and date older men who are already divorced with kids or are looking not to start a family. Most men in their 40s are either divorced with kids or are at a point where their career is established and are looking to start a family. If it's the later it will be seeking a younger woman in prime children bearing age which is late 20s and early 30s.

No, actually people date in their age range. 20 something women are not looking to date 40+ men. A 40+ man who is “looking to start a family” all of a sudden missed the boat, the same way a 40+ in that scenario did. But if he’s sincere, the best way to settle down would actually be to find a woman in her mid to late 30s.

Thats incorrect, a man 40+ can still have children without issues a woman after 35 faces fertility challenges so its not the same, sorry. Look at David grohl he got someone pregnant and they are having a child and he is 55

typical dumbsh*t incel. obviously we understand biology. but 20-something women don’t want to date 40+ men no matter how much the PPs here are deluding themselves. Maybe you match on Hinge but they are going to end up with a guy their own age.

I match, date, and have sex with women in their 20s all the time on hinge (I’m mid 40s.) Yes, of course, they are going to end up with someone closer to their own age.

Dating for 6-8 weeks and then they get bored and say they feel really bad but need to move on is the perfect sweet spot for me because, for whatever reason, it is then extremely easy for me to rinse and repeat for going on 8 years now.

lol that’s success to you??! explains a lot. 6 weeks of bad dates and awkward bad sex until they ditch you. 😅

There are many late 20s and early 30s women dating 40+ men. Not sure your point, again it depends on the man and there is a shortage of long term relationship/marriage material men ages 18-30.

Its not hard for an older more put together man to seem very appealing

Sure, most of us aren't rock stars like Dave Grohl, but biology doesn't change just because someone isn't famous. The reality is that men can have children well into their 40s and beyond without facing the same fertility challenges that women do after 35. It's not just about celebrity examples—this is basic biology. Men can still be very much in demand by younger women, especially when they're established, successful, and looking to start a family. Women, on the other hand, face more time-sensitive fertility concerns. That's why men in their 40s often seek partners in their late 20s and early 30s when considering starting a family. It’s not just social, it’s biological.

Right. These men are so desperate for a crumb of attention for a woman, they’re now bragging about being routinely dumped 😭

Except women don’t experience fertility challenges after 35.

We understand biology, thanks. It doesn’t negate PP’s point which is that women with choices don’t chose old men.

If he doesn't have kids and an ex-wife, a good-looking, established 40-something is attractive to women in their late 20s and early 30s. If he has the aforementioned baggage, he is either bringing so much money to the table that a younger woman is willing to put up with some significant compromises, or the only younger women he attracts are those with psychological issues.

Actually, it’s a well-known fact that women do face fertility challenges after 35. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, fertility starts to decline in the early 30s and drops more significantly after 35. By 40, the chances of conceiving each month are around 5%, compared to 20-25% in their 20s. Egg quality and quantity decline with age, increasing the risk of miscarriage and complications. So while pregnancy is still possible, the challenges after 35 are real and backed by medical data.

A 40+ man who is “looking to start a family” all of a sudden missed the boat, the same way a 40+ in that scenario did. But if he’s sincere, the best way to settle down would actually be to find a woman in her mid to late 30s.

Thats incorrect, a man 40+ can still have children without issues a woman after 35 faces fertility challenges so its not the same, sorry. Look at David grohl he got someone pregnant and they are having a child and he is 55

Mr Divorced Middle Aged Schlub, just because Dave Grohl, a rock star, did something, it doesn’t apply to you.

Sure, most of us aren't rock stars like Dave Grohl, but biology doesn't change just because someone isn't famous. The reality is that men can have children well into their 40s and beyond without facing the same fertility challenges that women do after 35. It's not just about celebrity examples—this is basic biology. Men can still be very much in demand by younger women, especially when they're established, successful, and looking to start a family. Women, on the other hand, face more time-sensitive fertility concerns. That's why men in their 40s often seek partners in their late 20s and early 30s when considering starting a family. It’s not just social, it’s biological.

If he doesn't have kids and an ex-wife, a good-looking, established 40-something is attractive to women in their late 20s and early 30s. If he has the aforementioned baggage, he is either bringing so much money to the table that a younger woman is willing to put up with some significant compromises, or the only younger women he attracts are those with psychological issues.

That’s a pretty narrow take. Plenty of younger women are attracted to older men for reasons that have nothing to do with money or “psychological issues.” Maturity, emotional stability, and life experience are big draws for women in their late 20s and early 30s. Having an ex-wife or kids doesn’t automatically make a guy undesirable. Lots of blended families work just fine when people handle it maturely. It’s not all about money or baggage—it’s about compatibility, and many people make it work without needing extreme wealth or settling for unhealthy relationships.

So no one is talking about you dude. 32 is young. I agree with you. You will probably be married by your late 30s so its a moot point anyway. But single men in their late 30s have much fewer options than you at 32.

Life comes at you fast. People on this board love to talk about how women are dried up by their late 30s but trust me, if you are a man who is never married in your late 30s there’s a huge stigma for a lot of a lot of women below 35… why hasn’t some hottie snapped you up?

My friends in their 40s who are dating younger men, the topic of this thread, are mostly dating mid to late 30s or early 40s divorced guys. No one is talking about a 32 year-old never married single guy.

Not really, there is a small pool of men looking for late 30s women its a weird age because they are almost too old for a family and need to come to terms with that and date older men who are already divorced with kids or are looking not to start a family. Most men in their 40s are either divorced with kids or are at a point where their career is established and are looking to start a family. If it's the later it will be seeking a younger woman in prime children bearing age which is late 20s and early 30s.

No they're not. It's either money or psychological issues. How many women on this board were willing to date a 40-something man with an ex-wife and kids in their twenties? Not I.

I didn't have trouble on the dating market. But then again I'm conventionally attractive in the top ways OLD works for women (petite, Asian). I actually had to restrict the ages below and above me because I had too many messages. But when guys could get through, I got younger and older than I filtered for. At the time I was 40 and had some 29 year olds sneaking in.

That’s an awfully narrow perspective. Just because it wasn’t your preference doesn’t mean it applies universally. Plenty of younger women are attracted to older men for reasons beyond money or psychological issues. Traits like maturity, emotional stability, and life experience are highly valued, especially as younger men are often still figuring things out. It's also worth noting that blended families can and do work well, with many younger women willing to date men with kids when there's mutual respect and emotional readiness.

You may not have been willing to date a 40-something man with kids, but that doesn’t mean others aren’t. Generalizing all younger women this way isn’t fair or accurate—it’s about individual preferences, not some universal truth.

the biological REALITY is that a 40+ man appears old to a 20-30s woman, and especially if he is divorced with kids, she’ll go with someone her age. Women around here don’t need the “stability” of your 40 yr old dude jov.

I was once a late-20s women and NONE of us were looking to date 40 year olds. Not a single one. I’m not sure why you are confusing your trashy sugar daddy fantasies with what the actual women around here do. If you’re looking to kill time with a series of 28 years for a few weeks at a time until they dump you (and you are forever known in their friend group as “that creepy old guy Sara dated for a few weeks”) then sure, maybe.
