The ones who fetishize really young women are the creepy ones.
I often steal another line I saw on this forum some time back. "If you like someone despite their age then where is the problem? If you like someone BECAUSE of their age however you likely have issues".

I agree. It's one thing to date a person with an age gap because you meet and it clicks. If they seek you out because of the age (this happens a lot online)then there is something wrong.

When I was in college there was a political science professor in his mid to upper 40s that was also the faculty advisor to a sorority. He dressed a lot younger than he looked and his hair was styled like a guy 10-15 years younger. He "acted" about 30, even though he was probably 45 or so. A lot of the girls LOVED him! He was always talking with hot female students in their early 20s; he'd flirt with them and they'd flirt right back. I don't think he ever dated that age, but I routinely saw him out and about with graduate students who were in their mid to late 20s.
He turned 50 and things went downhill fast - it was as if his body fell apart and he just didn't look good anymore.
I found that when I hit my late 20s, girls 18-21 started to get harder to attract. At 31 I can still attract 21-25 but they're more rare. It has much to do with what shape I'm in. My weight floats between 180 and 200 depending on how much I'm working out at the moment (currently around 190). When I'm in my prime shape and weighing in at 180 - it seems I get exponentially more attention from all ages 21+
I'm 3 years into a career-type job, just bought a house, and girls in their early 20s really don't relate to me anymore. They're still in school or just out of it, trying to find themselves, living with roommates, eating peanut butter and jelly for dinner. I can try and fake it with my music preferences that skew younger (shared music preference apparently means a LOT to younger women, why I don't know), but after a while they're not that interested in what I'm up to and vice versa.
Quite frankly - when women that are 8-10 years younger and interested in me -- my first thought is "what's wrong with you?"

What about the responses from women who seem to find men in their 20's too immature and actively seek 35+ men-- as they know what they are getting, whether or not they will be financially successful, and the advantage over time that their husband won't start cheating when they hit 40?
LOL wtf.. because naturally all husbands do when they hit 40, huh?
I am 28, and yes I do find men in their mid 20's to be a bit immature on the average. I would prefer someone my age or a few years older. I guess I would wonder what I would have in common as far as life experiences with men 35+.. 34 or so would be my limit. But it's not a hard line thing. If I met someone who was, say, 39 and the bee knees, heII yeah I would.
**And fyi, it's not all about income for women you know. I care far more about financial responsibility and overall stability that having some "sugar daddy" take care of me.**
Many men in their 20s are pretty immature...but that doesn't mean I'm going to start dating someone my Dad's age.
I prefer men within a few years of my age....I'm 29 and I think around 35 or so is my limit. Of course, it completely depends on the man, but I've never been attracted to anyone over around 37 or 38 or so.
this is the funny thing about the male posters on this forum. They think in black and white like there's only two types of guys: immature "loser guys" in their twenties or successful desirable males who are forty and up who of course all have their **** together and who are wise and mature. They don't realize there's about a million different guys inbetween. You guys don't get out much do you?
I used to think i liked older, but the best guy i ever dated was 4 years younger. I mean my current
Of the 4 boyfriends i had in my life, one was 4 years older (when i was 18) the other one 1 year younger, the other was 10 years older!! (last year) and this current one is 4 years younger (hes 28).
By far the most mature one is the 4 years younger
The most child like and the one that had the higher libido and sex drive was the "old" guy (10 years older)
The most inmature was the guy my own age.
