[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35 isn't really an "older man" to a 25 year old. At that age range, they could be siblings. If she was 19, or he was 50, I'd understand the cynicism, but 25-35? Give me a break.[/quote]

I am the poster in my 20s who has the friends totally obsessed with dating older men.  The men in their mid-30s may not be much older, true, but they are old enough to have finished their graduate educations, launched their careers, paid off their student loans, bought their big house (or at least they can afford to), dress in fine clothes, drive the luxury cars, and take amazing vacations.

It's the difference, in my profession, between dating a clueless, first-year associate with absolutely no status, and dating a powerful partner whom everyone respects.  The age difference may only be little more than a decade, but the power, wealth, and status difference is a much bigger gulf.  I detest this sort of wealth-and-status seeking among the women my age.[/quote]

What an absurdly materialist outlook you have [/quote]

It is my friends who have the absurdly materialistic outlook, money-grubbing after (in some cases already married) men in their late 30s and 40s just for the lifestyle that older man can buy them.[/quote]
