Only if you're a pedophile.

You are one bizarre poster....

Just because it's basic biological drive to subconsciously prefer youth. Youth above 18, I may say...

Doesn't make someone a pedophile.

Let's not muck of the meaning of pedophiles please.

87 pages, and we've come full circle. A mature, well-adjusted 40-something is not likely to be interested in someone who looks like a college student. They want women they can have an intelligent conversation with, who has some life experience. Let's see...where did I post that before..... page 10 or so?
Though come to think of it, some 25-year olds look 35. And some look 15. So which kind of 25-year-old are we talking about?

You apparently aren't familiar with ol chowdawg.

You are preaching to the choir.

I just meant on a purely biological survial of the species type of deal, youth generally wins out on the baser levels.

I'm a 42 yr old dude... I have zero interest in college women, but do you follow what I was trying to say in my post??

Hound: Yes, but bio theory and real life practice are two very different things. Thank goodness.

I don't know of too many 40yr old guys that are breaking down the doors of other 40yr old women to date them...most I know are getting out of marriages to 40yr old women and are looking for hotter younger women to try and recapture their youth.I know it sounds like the mid-life cliche but it's true!

You know... I wonder...

If I were single.........

IDK.... I would be too self conscious to be with a woman too much younger then me.

I sincerly think that I could be with a woman in her mid 30's... or 5 to 10 yrs younger... but thats the absolute most.

I, for some reason, have always, and I mean always, been with women older then me.

Every GF I have ever had has been older. Mrs. Chow is about 6 yrs older then me.......

I wonder if there is some mommy issues there.... LOL

I'm sure there are some of those. But there are also those who look for women closer to their own age. Some even go for older women. Sometimes the "other woman" the guy's having an affair with is older than the wife. All kinds of stuff happens in real life, as opposed to TV. And it would depend on the 40-year old. You're probably assuming that the 40-year old looks her age. Women don't age the way they used to. You can't tell a woman's age by looking at her.

I agree 40+ would target 35 in most cases just not other 40+yr olds!
