I have a great time and I can't see myself dating women my age again. But that's my preference.

Anybody who is threatened by a man who goes for what he really likes, well that's their problem. Which is why like I said earlier, my friends are envious while their wives and girlfriends are uncomfortable. It's their issue, certainly not mine. (I'm the guy that's having a great time, remember )

No, it isn't actually. You're making an issue of it here. No one else.

If someone IS making an issue of it elsewhere, the non stupid thing would to be engage with them about it. I would say the mature thing would to be engage with them about it. But that isn't your forte.

And yeah, I've worked with a lot of 21-25 yo, brilliant grad students, and it is creepy. They can have brilliant minds, but even when I was mid 30s it was so very apparent that they were children. I'd have to be incredibly immature to connect with them. Incredibly. I'm not though, neither are my friends.

No one is threatened by you dating kids. It's your call. They might pity you, and them. But it isn't envy, buddy, but keep patting yourself on your back.

And if you think sex is great with a 22 yo, well, been there/done that in my teens and 20s, and wait till you try a mid 40s woman. Holy smokes. That's living. Women don't start to hit their prime until late 30s for the most part. Had to take up crossfit just to keep up.

So, hey, keep making an issue of it, which you are. And I'll keep feeling bad for you.

Older women generally prefer to date men in their own age range. It's extremely rare to unheard of that older women seek out significantly younger men as a serious partner. In the instances where there is an older woman/younger man couple (and there are several among our mods and former mods here, with age gaps of 9-10 years or more), the men pursued the older women, and had to convince them they were serious. It's not that unusual for younger men to be interested in an older woman, but it's extremely rare for the interest to be reciprocal.

OP, you still haven't told us what you had in common with the teenagers you dated when you were 30, or what you have in common with the college students and other 20-year-olds you currently date. What do you have to talk about with them? Usually, people at such radically different stages in life don't have much to say to each other, though there are exceptions. Your friends' gfs/wives have probably been wondering the same thing. Your gf's don't fit into your social circle.

Because these threads are always started by "new" posters. This isn't that common except on CD.

Oh... and don't wave your car keys around, either.

These women (based on your description) aren't after you because you're irresistible. They cannot resist your money and the fact that you're baiting them with it.

Which is cool if you just want to get laid by younger women, but if you cannot see why the wives of your friends would find this undesirable from a social standpoint, I cannot help you because you're not being reasonable in your expectations of the spouses of your friends.
Why are you being so emotional about this? I'm dating younger women, I'm not hurting anyone, I'm a law abiding citizen, I pay my taxes and I help little old ladies across the road (but I won't date them). Your reactions are hilarious.

No you didn't. Not sincerely. Since you already determined that they're envious and uncomfortable. Since you already had your "answer" and you reject every other possible answer, you're not really asking a question.

A mature person would know that and not waste time with fake "questions".

A mature person would also ask the individuals that are supposedly having a "problem" with what you're doing (if they existed).

But, you're not. And we know why that is. Because you're:

A) Not asking a sincere question
B) Not mature
C) All of the above

Well, new member who is rehashing a topic that has been discussed here eleventy billion times, maybe it's a matter of finding an identity and sticking with it.

This is interesting. You're going against the trend here on this forum lately, where the guys have been saying that women in their 30's and 40's are much better sex partners than 20-something women. I guess you wouldn't know, because you don't have much experience with older women. But according to the guys here, you're missing out. lol

Creepy...dating kids...holy smokes older women are great in bed you're missing out...etc etc. Do you really expect anybody to believe that you aren't seething with anger at the fact that a man has preferences which don't include older women or women of certain body types? Come on now. Get real.

Op, if that's what you want then do you! As other posters on here have said, they also have spouses 10+ years younger than they are and my own spouse is 4 years younger than me, And?? The difference is you have created a thread with 10 plus pages of trying to justify yourself to anonymous people on the internet, why? Just do what's good for you, for goodness sake.

I do have quite a bit of experience with older women. I can say without a doubt that I am most certainly not missing out. Let's just say that going with younger women is as far from "settling" as one can get, at least to my taste anyway.
