So I've noticed a pattern develop over the last few month, where I will frequently be matched with an older woman. usually the difference isn't too great, maybe a year or two, but ocassionally, it will be a difference of anywhere from 5 to 10 years.


Now I dont have any problem at 22 approaching a woman that may be 25, but I'm always a little curious what that woman think about being approached by a younger man. So to that I pose the questions: As a man, what is your opinion of approaching or being approached by an older woman? -or- As a woman, what are your thoughts on being approached by or approaching a youner man?

How funny your handle is NeonTiger and you ask this question. I would change it to "puma-cub" just to get some laughs. LOL

I don't have a preference either way as it depends on the person. However the first guy I fell in love with and dated was 2 years younger than me. Usually within 5 years is best but there are always exceptions.

I think I will feel pretty weird about a younger guy approaching me mainly because I have always dated older guys. Besides that, I don't normally click with guys my age. I find most guys who are in my age group to be a little immature for my taste. It also doesn't seem to work for me because most of them areintimidated by my maturity and outspokenness. Furthermore, I find it hard to date a younger guy who's all about fun and can hardly be serious.

I once went out with a younger guy, but he wasn't that much younger only a year, but I've been thinking lately that I might try and go for someone younger. I 've always gone for the older, much more mature types. Married a man who was eleven years older than me. But, in my family, that's nothing unusual. My dad remarried someone eleven years younger than himself, so it wasn't frowned upon.
