But not like people claim, more like 1-2 years apart. That's not the same thing.

I was told they enjoyed my company, I treated them better than the young guys and they had fun with me. I never spent any more on the 30yo younger than me than I did the ones my age.

The problem with a great age gap is that a young girl who wants to have children loses that ability with an older guy, or could still have kids and end up with kids with a father the age of a grandfather. The olther problem is as some have stated, that if my health fails, I don't want someone to have to take care of me. I will stick to women late 30's up.
My question to you is what are you doing with a late 30's woman when you are 55? My boyfriend is 3 years younger than I am and that is the way that I like it. I'm not going to be with someone 15 years older.

So... You ( lol) and some of the more mature ladies find him attractive, but if a young woman finds him attractive.. Suddenly she's a gold digger? I am sure the answer will be.. I am attracted to his looks rather than his celebrity or wealth, but they don't see it as feasible for a younger woman to be attracted for the same reasons. Sounds a little like sour grapes or rationalization to me.
Now tell me that there aren't any women over the age of 30 who chase/hook up with/or marry much older wealthy men. I guess it's ok because.. They're closer in age?

Sydney, usually when a younger woman hooks up with an older man, it's usually for one of these three reasons:
1. she doesn't look like much
2. She has "daddy" issues
3. She's looking to be taken care of (read: golddigger).

In the natural course of things, younger women want men close to their own age.

Maybe it used to be the natural course of things, but now a days young women are a lot more independent and aren't looking for marriage, kids and or a LTR. They want to be free to do as they please with being encumbered. Pretty,young, financially secure, successful woman who have and continue to have great and normal relationships with their fathers. You yourself ( by stereotyping these young woman ) are pretty much proving the point I was making in my previous post. You're stuck in a mind set that because it goes against your grain.. that these young women are flawed and have ulterior motives for their choices.

End of story.
No, not all women like older men. And even when they do like older men, as young, impressionable 20-somethings, their preferences almost always change as they get older. I know this, because I was one of those 20 - something women who preferred significantly older men. But now, as a 40-something, I certainly don't.

Getting older and wiser changes all of us.

See, I think women in their 30s are much hotter than women in their 20s. Fewer neuroses and less self-absorption.

This, as a general rule of thumb, though some women in their 20's are pretty together. But then there are all the rest....

I believe that is becoming less and less. It was more common in the days when a woman's opportunities were limited, housewife/mother was the most acceptable gig therefore it made sense that women would marry an older more established man. The ones her age were just starting out and seldom had the means to support a wife and family.

I agree with this. It actually rare among average middle class people to see a large age gap. Most people I see marrying now are just a few years difference if any, mostly just out of college.
