Offended?? No way! He either thinks I'm his age or thinks I'm a MILF; both are equally flattering. The awkward part is finding a way to work into it into the conversation that I'm married and pushing 40, without crushing his ego.
No thanks. Younger men aren't as grizzled or financially stable or advanced to the point I'm comfortable with. Maturity plays a huge factor into it as well. Even if they are mature, a lot of the time they aren't economically equal.
It totally depends on the guy. If he's THAT much younger and acts like it, it's a turnoff.
But if he acts like a man who wants what he wants, well, that's pretty irresistible.
This.
I'm one who probably wouldn't be interested in dating someone much more than 10 years younger because we would simply be at different life stages, but someone 6-8 years younger? Definitely. In fact, I sometimes find men in their late 30s/early 40s to be much more together emotionally and financially than men in their late 40s/50s, which is the age group I'm "supposed" to be dating.

Lots of men aren't either. I would be hard pressed to date a 33/34 yo woman. We just are in different places and have few shared cultural experiences.
