How would you react/how have you reacted? If you really wanted to pursue her, would that comment make you back down?

I am in my 26 and have often noticed myself to be attracted to women old enough to be my mom (I know...no rude comments please) and I know I would get that kinda reaction when apporaching these women so I wanted to know from other men how they deal. I find it easier to talk to them and they stimulate my mind more, although, there is nothing wrong with women my age, except I just dont find 20-somethings that attractive, physically or emotionally, anymore..I wish I could. Its hard going against the grain of society.
Go for it dude. When I was young I liked older women too. If they come back at you with I am old enough to be your mom, hit them with "do you have a problem with that?" and laugh and see where it goes. You have nothing to lose.

When I was younger, "I'm old enough to be your mother" was usually said with a smirk and an effective green light. I rarely heard anything more welcoming.

Just a note, folks. This thread is over 5 years old and was resurrected today by Post No. 111.

As to the opening post - why not just date women closer to your own age who look older?

When a woman says that, it means "not interested."

I don't entirely agree. I'd say it's a polarizing statement. It either means VERY not interested, or VERY interested, and nowhere in between.

(As a woman) I agree...it could be a kind of pseudo-objection...IOW, testing the waters: "You do know how old I am, right? Are you still interested...?"

For me, personally...I wouldn't degrade myself by explaining that I wasn't going to sleep with the man because I was "old enough to be (his) mother." I'd just say "No thank you." If he protested I'd tell him I was sorry, but just not interested. Why put myself down as my "excuse" not to sleep with him? If I don't want to, I don't want to and that's enough. (JMV...)

I'm happy for you that you found someone who loves you. Genuine love is hard to find and a lot of folks get married that aren't really in love, some because they're only capable of loving themselves. I hope you'll be very happy. And on top of that, she looks pretty hot to me.
