How do you know that unless you ask every woman her age....(and she gives you the correct number)...lol?

Not anymore! Then again, I just had a bad experience and I'm bitter. (See my thread in the main Dating forum.)

I found my younger man to be shallow, immature, unable to show some spine and discuss problems, indecisive, and thin skinned. But, again, that is probably the whole bitter thing.

I really do believe that older men vs younger men all comes down to completely separate sets of issues.

I think it would be wiser for me to not prolong a discussion of this topic.

I have dated younger men- it seems that I either go 10 years younger or 10 years older...I have seldom dated in my own age group..

Interesting..I dont know why that is!

Happily. But then, I'm old enough to be your mother's older sister, so in a completely different demographic...lol.

The older I get, the more interested I am in finding someone around my age or younger. There are two reasons for that. One is simply that, if I'm going to find a loving relationship at this stage of life, I want to increase the odds that I'll be able to enjoy it as long as possible (no guarantees, I know, but my time with someone 15 or 20 years older is much more likely to be limited). No matter what his age, I also want someone who has a youthful attitude. Now, someone can be a fuddy duddy at 30 and youthful and vibrant in many ways at 90, but generally speaking, someone younger rather than older is going to be able to enjoy an active lifestyle for longer.

Around your age, women are more likely to look for someone older for a variety of reasons (they really can't go much younger without getting into trouble!). But, as you've already learned, it's still possible to have someone a little older be interested in you despite the age difference.
+1 on that! My problem is, and maybe you've experienced this too..... men my age don't want women my age. Men my age are looking for younger. Much younger. But then again, I live in $in City where pickings of genuine people are slim to begin with.

I prefer younger men- always have. And it really has nothing to do with sex. I've actually found men closer to my age to be better lovers, but I still seem to have an attraction to men who are younger (5-10 years). It is more of a physical attraction, but I also find that younger men seem to have fewer "hang-ups" and seem to be more interested in "me" or "us" as opposed to just what they want. It's hard to use generalizations too much, but overall, in my experience, I have found that I have better conversations with older men, but it pretty much stops there. While converstation is a big part of a relationship, I need more than that (and again, I'm not talking specifically about sex).

I think it's important to realize that not every relationship is about "love & soul mates". You have to ask yourself .....is it important what your family will think (esp your kids)....your friends ? Does your partner's family and friends accept you ? Can you only go to certain events and venues with this person ? Will this be an intentional short physical relationship ?

Nope. My friends have tried to set me up with younger guys before and I always say no as soon as I find out their age. If they're not in their 30's than they're not for me. I tend to be mature for my age and I want a guy who is still fun but out of the "party mode". Problem is, I look about 8-10 years younger than I am so the only guys that hit on me are way too young for me. Sorry to all the guys who like older women, most of us won't go younger unless we already know the person and we liked them before we knew their age...that is my one exception.

Don't know, but I think my children's 19 year old private swim teacher may be attracted to me. I'm in my 30s. I caught him looking at me on several occasions and when our eyes meet, I feel the heat in the in the exchange. The first time I noticed his gaze was after my son's first private swim lesson. I was wearing jeans and a top, and I did not notice until I stood back up that when I bent over to help my son put on his shoe, my top was a little revealing and he probably saw my bra and maybe a little bit more. My son's lesson was the last lesson of the night, and he just stood there and did not move for a long time in the pool. All the other teachers had already left, and I wondered why he was still in the pool, splashing water at my son. When I turned around to say bye to him, as it is polite to do to a teacher, our eyes met, and I again I felt his interest and maybe embarrassment in his gaze. Ever since then, every time I go to the swim school, I feel him looking at me, and when our eyes meet, the same feeling goes through me. I don't know what to do about it. Probably nothing if I want him to continue to teach my son.
