But id like to try to get some input here from some women.

What do you think when you see a guy your age dating an older woman?
I don't think much of it at all; it's really not my business.
At the age of 18 or higher, it's someone's preference.

If you're uncomfortable with others opinions, I'd say there's a maturity problem.

It's fine. people are attracted to who they're attracted to. Have fun and don't worry what others think.

I am in my mid-20s and prefer dating older women myself. I haven't had as much success with it compared to women in my age range but I don't care what people think about it. I love cougars...it's so hot

^ lol I can see your point of view but the whole "cougar" thing really had nothing to do with it. I was talking to her and she mentioned Black Sabbath, thats really all it took and I talked to her more and there was a lot in common with music and art interests and things like that. Girls my age dont like the things I like and when I finally met someone that did, I was obviously intrigued by that. That, and she looks exactly like Kristen Wiig.

I don't care a bit. But I've dated a couple of men 15-20 years older than me, and it was mostly women their age who gave us the dirty looks. They're just jealous. They think this other woman is stealing a man that should be dating them or at least someone their age. Ignore them as best you can.

I agree with you, most men don't mind seeing someone their own age with a younger women but women are a lot more judgmental it's usually them (jealous women) who give the dirty looks & nasty comments. If I'm attracted to a man 15 years older than me and we want to be together then that's our business.

15 years older than me would be 103. I don't know anyone that old.

I don't think that much about age differences for other people if they are both adults. I couldn't do it but I wouldn't care if someone else did.

A girlfriend of mine is 54 and is in a relationship with a 32 year old man (they live together). All I ever thought was good for her! He's not with her for her money because she doesn't really have any, he's actually the one with a great job. Only issue with their relationship is there is an expiration date since she doesn't want to have a family and he does, but they're both aware of this.
