LOl funny thread since it has something to do with me (single 30 year old male)..The biggest reason I date younger females (by younger I mean from around 24-27) is that they are usually the ones who are single lol. Honestly If I found a single (not married/no kids) 30-32 year old woman who I was atracted too and ready to settle down and start a family I would prob. choose them over some of the 24 years old's. It helps also that I look like I'm in my mid 20's too, honestly though short of having a beer belly/going bald a male doesn't really change much in looks from mid to late 20's to early 30's from what I have seen.

Osito also bring up another good point, if you go that young or younger a woman is not going to want to settle down yet and is "finding" herself lol. Honestly I think for a guy who late 20's/early 30's best bet is go for a girl who is closer to mid's to late 20's as there is still a large chunk of them in that age group who are single (not married/kids/etc..)..

Full equality on both sides = the very best kind of relationship, in MHO.

That is so important but sadly many men seek much younger for the control. I'm sure women do it too though but it bothers me. Now if one meets someone and they happen to be younger that is different than intentionally seeking much younger.

[/QUOTE] I wonder if the reason some men look for 20-something women is that they don't believe the gorgeous, professionally-successful, single 30-something women exist? Our beliefs tend to dictate what we find in life.

I'm a single mid-40s man, fairly successful, reasonably fit, recently divorced, no kids, from an ex-wife was 20 years younger, model type. My new live-in girlfriend is an educated attractive 23yo. Even before getting married, I've done pretty well being involved or hanging out with younger women.

While all have their unique perspective on this age difference relationship topic, my reality is that there is just a zone of age and beauty that I am visually, physically, and sexually attracted to and women outside of that zone have to capture my attention some other way to keep my interest. hummm, that sounds familiar for some reason. I know it bugs some women over thirty when they see me at the bar with my younger date, and i've gotten some venom beaming stares too. I make a joke of it, younger women love drama and I talk about it just like they talk about creepy dudes flying around.

In the end, however, if a couple wants to make this work out "while the good times lasts", you gotta live by your own rules and not others, and know there are others out there who will attempt to embarass, undermine, and generally just hate on your hook up. So go low profile, private, and stay focused on keeping the good times rolling.

Where did you meet her? Was she not creeped out by the huge age difference?

If you have a problem with your age, you don't have the mental maturity or experience to even make this a possibility for you. It's like picking her up to go out and asking her where she wants to go. Your beliefs are critical to your game. Girls just wanna have fun.

huh? I'm 23 years old myself



Where did you meet her? Did you have to overcome any hesitation about your age? I can always admire when a middle age man can get a young hottie

I know more than one man who has an older wife or girlfriend. Everyone is different.

This thread makes me realise how really young and inexperienced 23 year olds are that's for sure.
I know quite a few relationships and marriages like that. It's more common than a lot of these youngsters think.
