Well it seems like every news site I've looked at today is telling the world that older women are looking for younger men.
I don't think we are out there looking for them but I believe younger men have some preconceived notions about older women and therefore pursue older women more than you can imagine.
Some of those preconceived notions:
All the surveys about sex being more enjoyable for women in their 30's, 40's...I can't speak for higher, but that's not a myth, that's true. For all you younger women believe it or not...it gets even better.
There is alot less stress and tension about where the relationship is going to go, like marriage and a family. Most of us have been there done that and don't want to go back. A lot less drama.
I think they think we are desperate. Hell maybe we are. I'll end that one here.
My mother married a man 12 years younger than she was. I was a teen at the time I remember thinking she was nuts and in fact I about died (so I thought) of embarrassment. They were very happily married for about 19 years before he was tragically killed in a car accident.
So I figured if good old Mom could do it I could, so I dated a man 8 years younger than myself for about 3 months. It was interesting to say the least but I really didn't feel I had anything in common with him...and I felt like I was robbing the cradle.
So that's my two cents worth on the whole subject.
Don't ask me why, but I often wound up dating women who were older than I was. I was in a serious three year relationship with a woman who was 14 (!) years older than I was. Of course, she looked a lot younger than she really was, and I've always looked older than I really am, so hardly anyone noticed.
Posted by: andrew at September 29, 2003 10:03 PMMy last boyfriend always dated women older than he was. I met him when I was 25 and he was 20. It worked out well, except for the fact that he couldn't get into bars for a year! :) We broke up after 3 years and then he started dating a 41-year-old woman. He said he actually preferred that because he thought the girls his age were too marriage-obsessed and immature!
I even think I was too young for him. :)
