No, I would seriously not want to date a man who dates younger women. I’m the poster who did date older guys when I was younger and those men have concerning issues. Which is why they do so, they have predator tendencies. That’s why they target naive girls. Honest to God I would not be envious, a man like that does not command respect and really is looked at as a joke. [/quote]

This.  I don’t know any men I respect who date/marry significantly younger.  Most people bond over shared life experiences and having a similar world view.  For context, I (36) have some friends in their twenties - male and female.  I love their energy and their optimism but there is nothing about us that put us on equal footing in the context of a potential relationship.  Financially, professionally, life experiences, travel, etc etc - I am light years beyond them.  It baffles me how men can overlook these fundamental differences in order to “bang” a young “hottie.” Gross.[/quote]

Or, to put it another way, men desire the nubile, positive, life-vivacious younger women. That jaded, seasoned, rigid disposition is off putting. Older women are set in their ways. Why deal with the hassle?[/quote]

Just because you prefer a nubile, positive, life vivacious younger woman doesn’t mean she should date down with dating you. [/quote]

You should send them a news flash then, because they haven't gotten the message![/quote]

Imagine being so proud of being able to manipulate people with half the life experience you have.  (Hint: it’s not giving what you think it’s giving.)[/quote]

You are telling yourself lies to feel better. My parents and several of their friends have decade plus age gaps and have had long fruitful marriages. It's disgusting of you to try to paint them into a box because you are unhappy with your life choices.[/quote]

My dad didn’t finish high school and had a fruitful career. Would I judge his circumstance as good advice? No, and you are wrong. [/quote]
