[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can agree date younger?  I'm 50 but date 35 yo and up[/quote]

Genuine question. At 50, what can you offer a man who is only 35? Aren't you concerned that a 35 years old can't find a woman his age and has to date someone 35 years older? What makes you so different from a 35 years old woman.

I find this trend of women advocating for dating younger men interesting. We men hear all the time from women that we are immature, we are man-child etc. So suddenly when you are 50, the 35 years old man is not immature or a man-child anymore?  [/quote]

My 55+ divorced friend (Asian American who looks very good, very fit and very young) finds many 35 yr old men (usually White men) who want to date her.   She has a career, house, $$$$ money, kids are grown up and out of the house, is not taking care of an elderly parent/pet/plant, is not looking to have children, is not dependent on a man for money.

The things I have noticed is that these men are usually middle class, less educated than her, fit and nice looking, usually ex-military, cops, gym owners, small business owners. They want a nice looking girlfriend (which she is) for sex and companionship, don't want to bankroll the woman because they are not well-off,  don't want the pressure to get married for kids which they get from the women in their 20s and 30s.  So the dating is usually just for sex and it is not going anywhere in terms of a LTR.    Inevitably, these men do find a younger woman that they do end up marrying or being in an LTR - teacher, admin assistant, nurse etc.  Inevitably, they also want to cheat with my friend even after they get married, but she is not interested.  There is a big mismatch in age, life stage, SES.  But, the men are not emotionally invested either.
