In general successful men, especially celebrities, "PREFER younger women" because they have ego's the size of China.

Real men, down to earth regular guys 50 and older can look at younger women and appreciate the view, but most are not attracted to them otherwise.

And unless the younger woman has serious daddy issues, she is not going to be attracted to a regular (non celeb, non powerful business tycoon) over 50 year old guy

So what does that prove? those are wealthy men who have choices most men don't. Most celebs have had plastic surgery too, does that mean most people have had surgery? These celebs have mansions, do most people live in mansions? This proves nothing except they are celebs and can date who they want. The average 50 year old man isn't getting a 25 year old, sorry to break your bubble.

That wasn't your question. The following post was your question.

Do you prefer an older provider type? A more mature, handsome man? A younger, siller Ashton Kutcher type? Or do you just play it as it goes?

Do you actively try to go places where older men hangout to meet them? Are you an "old" soul?

Thanks for the responses.
So - I guess that "Thanks for the responses" should have read - "When you respond, I'm going to tell you that you're wrong and that men prefer younger women which is not the question I asked you in the first place."

despite how others percieve my posts, i don't ding women for their choices, regardless of their age group or "life stage". all id like to see is the same for everyone, both men and women. don't rag on the partner choices consenting adults make, life is too short.
Exactly! Don't rag people for their partner choices. Whatever makes two people happy is fine by me too.

Just don't tell me how I think (not that you are doing that nokiddin, I am just saying it in general).

When my dad got remarried, his wife couldve been my sister; age wise. He has a "hip" and young personality though. They are super cute together and seem very happy. The age difference isn't even noticeable when you see them interact. My dad also takes good care of his body which allows him to "keep up". I think 10 to 15 years is fine.

He says theres a formula (jokingly) divide your age in half, then add seven.

You say your 27 but won't date anyone over 30, but how could you tell anyone is over 30???? lol..Your late 20's/early 30's you basically look the same lol. I'm 31 and most people peg me as around your age.

I often wonder if these older celebrities are truly happy hooking up with much younger women.

There are a great many celebs, ceos, and athletes who are dating arm candy. This is true. However plenty of older male celebrities have age appropriate girlfriends but that's not sensationalism so it won't end up on the front page of celebrity tabloids. This is such a pointless thread, and to keep comparing the average joe to celebrities is futile. Just accept your mortality Bill.

I knew someone who worked in Hollywood and he told me half of all celeb marriages are for publicity anyway. I believe him to be honest.

Yeah the formula lol..suprisingly it works good for a while..for example I'm 31 so youngest would be 23 if you round up which seems about right as far as how young I would go for a serious relationship. After a while it gets weird though , for example according to the formula it is "socially acceptable" for a 60 year old dude to get with 37 year old woman.
