I think guys primarily care about attractiveness + mom/wife traits (IE somebody who has a certain personality type that they enjoy being around and also can see them being great mothers in the future)
I never said that it's just about eye candy
I think we all look for different things but assume that most other people look for the same things that we do.
Good question. For what it's worth, I definitely feel a lot of sympathy for women here who are over 30 and still single. Not that there's anything wrong with being over 30 but I know it's not easy finding a partner at that age (with everything being considered)
I could be wrong, but I get the impression that most of the single women here over 30 are either divorced or widowed. "Still single" to me implies they've never had a committed relationship.
Your odds of finding somebody who is cute, in shape, single and has no baggage at the age of say 21-25 is much better than anything above that. After 30, it seems to be even harder. Come on now, you know this is true
One man's "no baggage" is another man's "drama-filled immaturity."
Just saying. My man went from 7 years younger to 10 years older because he couldn't stand it. *shrugs* Works for us.
As long as you guys are happy though, that's all that matters
We had a thread on older women/younger men couples, earlier this year. It turns out that several posters and several mods and ex-mods are married to guys 9+ years younger than they.

That's twice with the "interesting."
I suppose it could be worse. You could be saying "fascinating."
Yeah, we're all right. Been together a long time. My ex was younger, too. That's just who approaches me. I think they initially think I'm younger than I am.
It doesn't bother me if men go for younger women, unless, say, the guy is 60 and the younger woman he's going for is me. Then I'm not too keen on that. I will say that when I was 25, a 35-year-old seemed ancient to me. 40 was right out. I never had a relationship with someone more than a year or two older than myself, and only a handful of dates with men more than 5 years older. My sisters are all a good 10 years older than I am, and typical Baby Boomers, so I just never got into dating people their age and generation. Having seen them interact with so many men of their generation, and how those men behaved, and at the risk of offending all the 50-somethings here, just... no. Gen-Xers are more to my liking.

I've lived with two men and have had many committed relationships but have never been married. I could have married sooner just never felt any of my exes were the one.
