chillii Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Women have the edge early on, but the tables turn for most guys...Id say for most around 35 or so...I also heavily disagree that only rich A listers get to play with the younger women...I have seen too many examples in my years to determine its no fluke.. I hear more younger women complaining of guys their own age not being "man: enough, too immature and jerky, not having the type of characteristics they look for.. Don't get yourselves down too much ladies....You still outlive us... TFY Yep ,l always point out the same. Younger women always like me and l'm not rich or famous , l see it all the time with others too. And yeah many of them do often like an older manlier man, they've even told me that quite a few times. l also think a younger women can be way beyond her years very easily and far moreso than young men, and they often like being that way. Not saying all but l know for fact many do. Link to post Share on other sites
somanymistakes Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Rich and famous older women manage to land hot younger men too, you know. The primary reason that the numbers are skewed is that there are more rich men than rich women! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just because Dennis Quaid's old behind can get with a pretty young girl doesn't mean it's easier for all men. All men aren't former A-listers with A-list money laying around. This forum is full of dudes that can't even get a date. All men didn't star in "The Big Easy," one very sexy movie. And he still looks decent, probably thanks to plastic surgeons, and he has money thanks to his continued ability to act in commercials. Did he find love or did he just find sex with a young woman opportunist not averse to banging an old guy. Don't know because Quaid still has it going on, but with most old famous guys, it will be the latter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Most of these rich old famous guys have clout and power too. That can be very appealing to a woman. Not only is he rich, other men will bow down to him, will want to be him We have a guy with film star sexy good looks, who has money and power, who is no doubt charismatic and is "quality", despite his age. No-one can maintain a film career right up to the age of 65, who is not at the very least "interesting". Yes he has a load of baggage and he is 65, but his other "assets" take care of that. For an ambitious woman - who really cares about his ex wives and his wrinkly skin, if he can wine and dine you. take you on fabulous trips, and adore you as you are 40 years younger than him... Trouble is, most 65yo men are nothing like that, even in their prime they were nothing like that and so whilst life may be great for rich and famous older film stars, your average older Joe may not have many options. if any.

salparadise Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 All men didn't star in "The Big Easy," [...] and he has money thanks to his continued ability to act in commercials. I've wondered why prominent actors like Quaid are willing to degrade their legacy by taking trashy commercials like the embarrassingly awful insurance company drivel he has been doing. Do they not make enough on films to retire, or do they simply have no shame (or taste) and are willing take anything for a buck? That insurance campaign had to insert name-dropping ads, because people weren't recognizing him as Dennis Quaid, thus they weren't getting the bang the expected from the famous actor. How embarrassing. He has about six projects in production now, and has completed eleven over the past two years, so it doesn't seem like he'd be hurting for money, but who knows... he may be spending a lot on 26 year olds (on topic content) Speaking of A-listers (who don't do commercials)... I saw The Irishman on Netflix last night. Pesci, DeNiro, Pacino, Scorsese. They had an interview feature following the film where they talked about aging, mortality, and doing a film like this (which deals with these themes). Pesci commented that Scorsese resurrected him to do this film. I sure am glad these guys aren't doing Dairy Queen commercials... Link to post Share on other sites

amaysngrace Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It’s probably just as easy for a 60-something woman who has a net worth of $40 Million to marry a 20-something as it is for Dennis Quaid to marry his 20-something. I’m not seeing your point springsummer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
major_merrick Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 um...illuminating...but how about the monthly thing? don't you wish you are not a woman then? I mean, come on, how fun is it? Well, for years I had a disorder that made it so that I didn't get periods regularly, if at all. So it never bothered me much. And I'm on my 3rd pregnancy, so I haven't dealt with it lately either. For most women, stuff in a tampon and life continues as normal. If that's the biggest drawback to being a woman, I'll take it any day of the week. It’s probably just as easy for a 60-something woman who has a net worth of $40 Million to marry a 20-something as it is for Dennis Quaid to marry his 20-something. Yep. And right now, cougars are popular. So if you keep your looks and you've got money, even a 60-something woman can have it made. And as a female, nothing obligates me to chase men. Aside from my husband, I have no interest in men. If I was to be older and have no partner, I'd be chasing younger women. And I probably wouldn't have issues finding a nice girlfriend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So if you keep your looks and you've got money, even a 60-something woman can have it made. . Didn't work out all that well for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher....And she looked about better than ANY women her age at that time...All he did was bang younger women behind her back... I dunno… For some reason, and its not always about just looks or money, younger women seek out older men...Its been this way for as long as I can remember...Maybe its daddy issues, maybe they do it because they value security and stability and trade that for youth, or maybe they even do it because they know they wont have to compete with every Lisa and Susan on the block for the younger guy(I think this is a big reason, btw)...Conversely, I've not known any guy in my entire life that went out of his way to seek a much older woman..Not one...If they did, it was only for an easy lay...not for any kind of real relationship... One of my closer life long friends divorced in his mid 50's...Not wealthy and not good looking....But he's a biker type with a lot of tatts and belongs to a biker club, he's also a bit of a clown that acts like he's still in HS sometimes...Anyway, when he decided to do OLD, most of the women he attracted were in their 30's...Went through several of them, and most of them were nice looking and had professional careers...Point is it seems like for a guy, as long as you don't act or look like their boring 9-5 dad there will be loads of women seeking older guys out... And if you are a youthful, energetic kind of older guy that doesn't have the typical conservative stodginess of his peers, if you desire woman your own age, its a total bonanza of available women....These are the unicorns the older women fight for..

On the other hand, older men can still have children well into their 70's, like Mike Jagger. Well, if you want to have a lot of biological children, it's better in general to be a man. In nine months a woman can only sustain one pregnancy, but a man can father dozens of them. And a man has no risk of dying in childbirth, unless someone stabs him in rage or something! For that matter a man can just go donate sperm and MAYBE he'll father a lot of kids, no work needed on his part at all. So if sheer quantity of biological offspring is your end goal, men have a decided advantage. Older rich women who want more kids settle for adoption instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
somanymistakes Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Didn't work out all that well for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.... It doesn't "work out all that well" for a lot of the older men marrying younger women either. A lot of those younger women are gold-diggers screwing around behind moneybags's back, too. Humans are humans. While some motivations may be more common for one gender than another, there's very little men do that women never do, or vice versa. Sure, some women are attracted to older men and may have daddy issues. Some men are attracted to older women, too. I see both men and women in the 18-21 age range getting involved with partners in their thirties who already have children, possibly because they psychologically want a ready-made family. I think it's a bit weird and I think those relationships generally don't work out, but they absolutely happen. Young men do this! Young men sometimes want to be Daddy right away, I guess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mark clemson Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 On the cougar thing, keeping one's looks is presumably an issue. I do think a certain subset of men find appeal in a more sexually experienced (and presumably sexually aggressive and open) woman, even if she doesn't look quite as good as younger models. Those men might not have much luck with women their own age or may not wish to deal with competition for them. Also part of the cougar concept (as I understand it) is that the older woman is really into her younger guy. Having a partner with strong interest/attraction for you can definitely be a big deal for many men (including me). And some of them may just have a kink for it. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously if you are going to tunnel-vision on one specific aspect of life, you can always find people who are "better off" than you. A man could just as easily focus on the fact that a woman born in the same year as him is statistically likely to outlive him by 3-5 years, and whine about that his entire life.... For that matter, weren't you born in ****ing Canada? How much better off do you think you are, compared to 80% of the world's population? Link to post Share on other sites
Trail Blazer Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 As a beautiful young woman, which his fiancee seems to me to be, I can't understand why she doesn't find herself a good looking younger wealthy man instead. To me, it seems she must have some type of issues to go for him. Unless she just would like to be with someone famous is the only reason I can come up with.She's either a gold digger or she has daddy issues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

stillafool Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 hey, I didn't say it's easier for ALL men. I meant if you are a man, then you don't really need to worry about age, you can just focus on making money. woman can't, because they have a short biological clock. If you are a woman with money you can also get a much younger man. There are a lot of young people who are too lazy to work for their own so they marry rich. Look at: Kris Jenner - boyfriend is 25 years younger Pattie LaBelle - boyfriend if 32 years younger. Cher - always a much younger man Heidi Klum - much younger Tina Turner - way younger Madonna - never too young The list is too long to type. But look it up. Women with money want younger man.

But where are the "regular women" with all of these younger guys?? I mean, heck, I know 4/5 guys in my own circle with long term relationships/marriages with women 20+ years their junior...Only one of them I would consider wealthy, and his wife signed a pre-nup… I know of no women in my circle with the same scenario....None....To count movie stars, glamour models, and pop idols is kinda crazy as NOTHING in those people's lives in anything close to conventional... I'm sure there are some out there, but the ratio of older men/younger women vs the opposite is gotta be something like 50:1..In the real world, anyway.. TFY Link to post Share on other sites
