I get hit on by older men a lot, and I've found them to be much more respectful than younger men most of the time. I can see why many younger women like older men. Sometimes it may really just be a maturity thing.
I agree.. Most of the guys that I have dated who are my age seem like they're from another planet.
And I'm sure guys are the same way, but I am a guy who likes women, so I don't read guys' profiles. All I can do is comment from a guy's perspective. But I do know that after spending time on any random dating site perusing many of the profiles, I often come away with a very negative view of humanity.
I agree. And as a woman, I've found that some of the email "communication" makes we want to hibernate forever.
Maybe the severely overweight or obese people tend to have older, saggier faces. But I've always thought that 'chubby' people tend to look younger than they actually are. I've read numerous times that that has to do with the extra subcutaneous fat stores in the face pushing out and fluffing up facial wrinkles. Every overweight (not super obese) person that I Know generally has a young-looking baby face. Severely skinny people often look drained and old (at least facially).
I probably worded that very poorly. I agree the extra fat fills out the wrinkles. I think it's just the obesity itself that makes them seem older. It's hard to explain. They can have that younger face but the obese body seems to age them in some way. I think I also tend to look at an obese face and assume the face is older than it looks rather than assuming younger because of the filled-in wrinkles.
Men will always like attractive women, and an attractive younger woman is especially coveted. I don't think anyone disagrees with that idea. It's the idea that older women are sexless hags who are repellant to men that is offensive.
Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, 45 percent of women reported a decrease in sexual desire after menopause,
LOL....I am the guy you encouraged to ask the younger girl out. And I am 39 now, but I will be 40 by the time I ask this (presumably early 20s) girl out. She is a nice girl and I have nothing to lose.
Why do you need to ask a 20 something out?You are cute.

But I refuse to do that!

I've only been "trying out" online dating for 3 months now, so I haven't been on long enough to experience more than a couple of "attacks". I almost never initiate communication, so I've never felt "rejected" (yeah, I'm a candya$$, I know ).
But I have found that many men - and this includes those in their 50s, for crying out loud- seem disingenuous. How they present themselves appears forced and artificial. There are plenty of others who seem to be too self-absorbed to be particularly interested in having a real conversation (let alone a real, adult relationship) with anyone. Some seem to be total flakes, to be honest.
It becomes quickly apparent through email communication alone why these men have been married and divorced 2 or more times, why they're in and out of a string of short-term relationships, and why they're alone.
But, in all fairness, there are men who seem to be truly good guys with a lot going for them, but who inexplicably seem to lack confidence. Needless to say, I've chosen to go out on dates with only 3 men in 3 months.
And I realize that there are probably plenty of women like this that men could tell us about. I only date men, though, so I have no experience with "problem" women.
Yeah, so women start losing interest in sex in their 50s... males sex drive starts dipping in their 30s and their libdo drops off too--it happens to a lot of people when they are older. And by their 50s, men and women are about equal between men and women. What's your point?

The common perception is that men constantly think about sex and are always ready to make love. But a recent survey for online pharmacy ukmedix.com found 62 per cent of men turn down sex more frequently than their female partner, with a third admitting they had lost their sex drive.
Another poll revealed one in four men is no longer having sexual intercourse at all - and the figure rises to 42 per cent for men over 55 - while a quarter said they had been affected by erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. Dr David Edwards, a GP specialising in sexual issues, says the impact of low libido on a man and his relationship can be devastating.

I used to believe that fervently, but now I think it just really comes down to the personal experiences of individual men.
Yes, I'd say that men over the age of 35 tend to be more gentlemanly than guys in their 20s. But after that, I think that gap closes or disappears altogether. I've found, in fact, that the differences can become the inverse. Men over the age of 50 can have so much baggage from being in so many relationships, that they've become hardened, cynical and resentful. Those qualities don't make for a very respectful approach.
Men in their late 30s to early 40s, though, can be perfect gentlemen with significantly less baggage.
And, again, I know that men can just as commonly apply this generalization to women they've dated.

She is a nice girl. She is very friendly, has a very sweet disposition, and seems to have a good head on her shoulders: she's working her way through school (she's studying to be a nurse). And I wouldn't have noticed her if she had not have approached me and started talking. I was walking two large dogs at the time, and she came out to see the dogs I guess, but then we started talking. She works at this little cafe near the Seal Beach pier (in So. Cal), and I walk in this area often. BUt she only works one day a week, so my chances are limited! :-)
I don't specifically seek out younger women per se; I find women of a large age range attractive. But I am not a very forward guy; I don't like chasing or hitting on women -- it feels way too unnatural and phony -- so I tend to wait for the female to take the initiative or at least show some level of interest before I try to be more open.
