I am in my 30s and would probably only want to date a woman in her younger/mid 20s.. Once a woman gets too old, she usually is no longer is interested in a real relationship, having kids and is set in her ways and becomes too independent. A relationship with an older woman is more like a friendship with benefits and a man to her is easily dispensable if he in any way challenges her career or independence she has gain from being single for so long. Many younger woman still dream of romance and if they find the right guy they may be more appreciative and grow with him, rather than devote their entire life to achieving financial pursuits, only to find themselves bitter and alone when they are older. If she is a divorcee, the man will never be appreciated or respected like the original husband. There is a reason why divorced people, generally have a much higher rate of subsequent divorces. Also, considering the obesity epidemic in USA has affected women more than men, I find many women after 30 are usually overweight, overworked, inactive to the point it is highly undesirable. Also, a lot of women in this country are single mothers, which is sad, but it is a burden for a man to raise a child who is not his own and will never be thought of as a real parent.
These are just some of the reasons I can think, but in many cultures an age difference is quite common and a man with more experience and who is matured and settled would be a better fit for a younger woman who wants to start a family with such a man.

I think it's safe to say every point you made is wrong. Way to generalize and bash women.
Yeah that post was highly offensive. In my 20's I didn't want a relationship the way I did later. I'm not obese either and never was. I'm also not a divorcee either.
Many older guys like younger women?
Anyone tell me why?
Lots of reasons.
But one thing I have noticed among guys my age (I am 44) who consistently date much younger women is that they have power and control issues. Sure, they like sex with nubile young bodies. But they also want women who they see as less savvy, more naive about life. They want women they can more easily manipulate and control.

Very true. When I was younger I dated a few older men and all of them were controllers.

Yes, I find men in their 40s who date much younger either have control issues or are socially awkward.
Hit the online dating sites and *most* 30-something men are seeking out women as young as early 20's while unwilling to connect to women their age or just a year to two older.
What gets me - as a 32yr woman - how many men in their 30's feel they have so much in common (delusional or not) with a young 20-something gal when, in reality, they are at completely different stages in life.
I feel like I have almost nothing in common with 20-somethings. I really don't care which housewife got into it with which other housewife. I did once hook up with someone almost a decade younger than me, and it was nothing to write home about.
However, I've found that when I do meet women close to my age, I begin to understand why they're still single. I'm not saying that all single women in their 30's are crazy or desperate, but that seems to be the common thread of women I meet my age.
As far as the attraction of older women is concerned, anyone can look good as they get older. I see plenty of older women that look like knockouts. The key is taking care of yourself (eating right, exercise, taking care of your skin). I think I've been getting more attractive as I've gotten older; I've heard that all men supposedly look better as they age, but there's no reason why women can't do the same.
