He doesn't even have to be that much younger. If she is 65 then 45 would be younger.

20 years is a lot.


While I'm sure it happens, I'm guessing the number is pretty low..... Women don't get the same ego boost having a young person on their arm, in general they care more about comparability issues than mere "hotness."

I haven't found that these younger men typically need to be paid, LOL. JME.

But you have to want that in the first place...many of us don't.

I’m 40. For online dating I’ve got a range of 28-46. It seems like the people closwrr to 59 are way older than me. In reality the 28 year olds feel young too. So actual may be like 34-45. We tend to feel closer in generation and life phase.

I’ve gone out with some youngsters this year and they felt young.

I was gonna say, at 40 going with a 28 year-old would have no appeal at all to me.

My ex-wife was 7 years younger and current girlfriend is as well. I tend to date up to 10 years younger. Women my age have not aged well in the part of the country I live in. If I lived in NYC it would be a whole different story. I've seen lots of older women in NY who looked amazing the few times I've been there. Same would hold true for Atlanta. Here in the Midwest/Plains, forget it.

I’m trying to stay open minded. But those youngsters are just obsessed with their phones.

Thanks
I'm 63, looking at ages 56-66 tops. The problem I'm finding is I look young for my age and many men my age are looking pretty old. My late husband was much older and I don't want that scenario again.

See, life stage was a major factor for me. When I started dating again in my late 20s, I had been married for 10 years with three kids. I had two kids in grade school. The vast majority of late 20s and early 30s in my area at the time were young professionals at a completely different stage in life. Not only that, but there were considerable differences in several areas.

I simply had far more in common with older men in the context of dating. Sure, there was no shortage of my type around my age, but they weren't suitable for dating. Of the 100+ dates I went on during that time, *maybe* six or seven were under 34. Men who were 10+ years older were likely to be parents and have experience with longterm relationships.

My husband was 35 when we met, and he was young to me. I joked with him a lot about that. He's 40 now, and I tell him he's reached the age of my average "suitor" age back when I was dating. He also hadn't been in a relationship that lasted more than three years and was childless. So a departure from my norm in that sense.

I had a lot in common with older men, especially those of specific backgrounds, life experiences, worldview, etc.
