why is it most men around my age (48) are all looking for a woman who's 10-20 yrs their junior? Are they all in a midlife crisis? Yikes!

Midlife crisis? Unlikely. A 48 year old man dating a 30 year old woman wouldn't think he is in crisis! He'll probably say quite the opposite.
Why do they want to date younger women? The same reason any man wants to date a woman...they're attracted to them. Men date women their attracted to.
You, yourself said most men. Not ALL men. So there are many men your age that would date you. Look for them and don't worry about those that like younger women. We all have our preferences-including you. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Youth is generally attractive. Most of us start losing some of our physical attractiveness as we get older, so it's no big surprise if some find younger people more attractive.

Hi.

Why is it that the women my age are looking for older men? Is this because they want money? Yikes!

Maybe they would be happy with women their age if the women took care of herself and were not all looking for older men (with more money.)

Sweetheart, forget the men your age...

Yes they are all in midlife crises or they are happily married to someone else and wanting to jump-start their crisis as soon as they can.

That is why I am dating younger men... I am really liking my 35 year old who is 11 years my junior and it seems that the feeling is mutual. He just cooked me the nicest dinner and we are both starting to feel really comfortable in this relationship.

Don't forget it can go both ways. There are LOTS of very nice young and sweet men looking for older women and some want LTR's. (mine does.)

Good for you. If you can find a younger man that you really like then go for it.

its called ageism. i really dont know how they get women 10 years younger even to date them because most men my age (47) look like they are about 55 and *I* wouldnt even date em.
