Men: Do You Feel MORE Attracted To Young Women As You Age?

[jen1447]

I think the attraction thing is impossible to figure out in any sensible way ....I go from one to the other with no real explanation why. You just see a hot young thing one day and get all excited over them for a while and then later you see a hot older one and get all bothered over them. Who knows why? And who cares really?

 

One thing I have noticed tho is that more and more I want ones I know can keep up. Not that learners aren't fun but you can go to a whole diff level w/someone who's already at your level who you don't have to do any or much instruction with.

 

That kinda speaks to the 'peak' question (lol) btw - for women, generally, it ranges from early-mid 30s to about 50. End of story. There are outliers of all kinds in any direction but overall that's where the majority bunches up. Assuming we're talking sexual capabilities and libido, anyone who says different is just uninformed.

Nothing wrong with trying to find happiness, and btw, creepy was my daughter's friends' word, not mine.

Best,

If this has anything to do with my comment, I was speaking from my own experience. I dealt with it a lot earlier than 21.

 

When I was 27, my sister's much older boyfriend (now-husband) started hitting on me. She was younger than me, and apparently wasn't enough to satisfy his ego.

Folks, noting that the thread-starter has only one post in this thread, and that many of the posts are not directly addressing that post, I will quote it again here.

 

This thread should not be turning into a debate between the respondents. Please address the initial topic or move on.

 

Thank you. ~6

 

Hey guys, I'm not sure how many of you can relate to this, but I'm in my early thirties right now and feel like over the last year or two I have developed a new preference for women who are in their early to mid twenties, I have no idea why. When I was in my early twenties, I used to pursue women who were nearly 10 years older than me, and then for a while I was dating women roughly my own age. This made sense to me because I always had the maturity of someone older, so I think I dated older until I 'caught up' to that number. But now suddenly I'm going backwards. What gives? Does this happen to a lot of other guys? I really don't think it's a mid-life crisis or anything like that (yet).

 

I think younger women are just so fun and feminine, and less demanding overall. It's certainly not long-term material in most cases but I can't help myself!

I'm in my late 30's and I find young women, like early 20's physically attractive but less so than I did 10 years ago. And beyond the physical I have very little in common with girls in that age group, I'm not in the dating pool, but I can't imagine if I was that would be my target unless it was for a one night stand.

It's funny because I could have written this same post only from the perspective of a woman in mid forties

everyone thinks they are more mature than their age

I agree. OP, there are alot of older women wondering the same thing about younger men.

[carnelian]

Yes. I think this is natural and universal but not true for everyone. Especially true for much older men, older than 50 on up because the ladies their own age no longer attract them. Also because men are much more aroused physically by younger sexual ladies and not by a lady, say, 60 years old. Some guys don't seem to care as much about beauty--they marry unattractive women and it does not matter to them or their standards are lower. My standards were high maybe too high.

[Woggle]

Not really. The taste in music is enough to put me off. Do they have ears?

My GF and and I have different taste in music. We have a different taste in almost everything and we have been together for over 5.5 years. Not sure why things like music should get in the way of a great relationship.

 

With regard to the OP's question... At 33, I still find older women to be much hotter. I don't get any sense that there will be a shift in my preference any time soon.

 

My only regret is that I probably should have pursued older women; however, and I'm being realistic here, I probably was not mature enough in my mid-20's to have much success with them. My current GF is 30 and could definitely pass for younger, so I didn't end up with an older woman in any sense (appearance wise or biologically). I myself don't look like I'm in my 30's either though.

And a lot of people think they look younger than they are.

 

Well I got news for everyone, the things i've seen women in their 40's do are more akin to college aged party girls and no they do not look like they are in their 30's despite what they think.

 

Personally, i'd prefer a woman my own age but finding them without issues or in shape is hard.

 

So if a woman in her late 30's is showing interest, why not?

They know how old I am.

I don't think I look younger, I just look good.

[alphamale]

indeed….

[dichotomy]

I held on as long as I could , but when I see young women in their early 20's now (in media or real) in revealing outfits my first reaction is.... "you need to cover up!" .

 

Sigh.. I am old.

[thefooloftheyear]

Older women are looking better than ever these days....Not all, but many are...

 

As a gym guy, I can honestly say most of the 40+ women there are looking better than their younger counterparts...As a whole, its really not even close....To be fair, I do live in an affluent area, so I am sure some of those women have had some "rework"(they all look like they have had boob jobs at least), but alas....they just look better...period...

 

I dunno...

 

Maybe we can blame it on technology, or the fact that seemingly all women under 30 are regular weed smokers, but never seen so many unkempt and out of shape younger women in my entire lifetime...Just calling it as I see it...Maybe its different in your 'hood, but not here...

 

So, nah....not buying it...

 

TFY

I think the last time I looked at twenties was when I was around 30. I did date a 29yo when I was 39 but that wasn't purposeful, rather she turned out to be that age after getting to know her. Since my friends have grand-kids that age, I tend to, now, look at the young ladies as grandchildren, not women to date/mate with.

 

So true, Young women, my grandchildren age, just do nothing for me. I am attracted to my age "group", but as I am married, it is all academic.

I think you just answered your own question, at least as it pertains to your reason for the attraction.

 

Personally, I am attracted to women closer to my own age withing a five year span up or down.

 

I like independent intellectual women. I do not mind if they know their own mind and are a bit demanding. I think that shows confidence. I like kind women that can communicate easily and respect other people as equals.

 

However, I do know a lot of men who prefer much younger women and for the same reason you give.

[avenal]

Men and women hit their sexual prime at different ages. I believe a woman's sexual prime is 23, and a man's is 34.

 

??? What do you mean by 'prime'?

 

Did you read that from the Daily Mail?? Most of the literature states that a woman's sexual peak is around late-30s, and a man's around late teens to early 20s. In any case, psychologically speaking, a woman is simply more comfortable and knowledgeable (although in some cases it's still not much) with her body and skills at that later age.

 

 

If you're referring simply to her looks, that depends on her race/ ethnicity. Most of us know that women of a certain race peak early WRT to appearance and then it's a quick, brutal slide from there.

Well I am sat with two guys, watching "a Question of sport" of TV and I asked them about this...

 

They both wrinkled their noses and said no... They are both in their 40's...

 

Comments were along the lines of

"Oh God the drama"

"It would be like shagging your mates daughter"

"Urgh they are just kids"

"What would you talk to them about after"

"Can we change the subject"

"Do you want a beer"

"I can't stand watching Eastenders change it over"

I think younger women are just so fun and feminine, and less demanding overall.

 

First time chiming in, but on behalf of myself and many women I know, a woman can be fun and feminine, less demanding at any age.

 

While younger women can be rigid, tough and extremely demanding. And insecure and controlling!

 

Age has nothing to do with a woman's nature, her personality, which is what you are describing and seeking.

 

Perhaps your post should have been titled "Do you feel more attracted to women who are fun and feminine?"

 

Rather than "Do you feel more attracted to younger woman."

 

Cause younger women and fun/feminine/less demanding are NOT mutually exclusive.

 

I will be 38 next month and am still super fun, super feminine and about as less demanding as they come.

 

And do not plan to change no matter how old I am! It's my nature, my personality!

 

While the 25 year old woman I work with is judgmental, rigid, cold and controlling.

 

Just sayin!

one should keep two things separate. how one specific woman is, which is kinda uninteresting for the puropse of the discussion here, and how aggregated collections of women are on group levels.

 

i must say that you women have a lot advantages. not only the obvious, of being much hotter on average than older women.

 

but also, that older women have real problems. real ones that doesnt go anywhere, that comes from being older and also from the baggage they collect in life.

 

there is children with different dads that dont disappear. sexual history in abundance that comes from these polygamic episodes after they broke up with boyfriends and husbands.

 

and there is real stuff like one of her children having aspbergers and being bullied in school, one of her old best friends getting cancer, her parents dying...

 

a lot of things that younger women just didnt get to yet. which sometimes makes them more fun and easy to be with. young women worry about midterms and that they spilled wine on the skirt. bless them. but its just easier to be with in many ways.

BS.

 

Young women today are far from innocent and are very skilled sexually.
