Why is it that men are only looking for younger women? Why can't they date women their own age?

Have you thought about building a time machine? That way you can go forward in time and these guys will go out with you.

I heard that younger women date older men so that the men will buy them lots of lovely thingies and take them to lovely places and then the women will inherit their money when the men die in bed of natural causes of course.

Ginnie, not ALL men are only looking for younger women. You just have not found the match for you yet!

Actually the only guys that I've been in Open Communication with me are younger than me by a few years. Go figure. But I like it LOL! I've had quite a few older men that seemed interested but I just didn't have that click with them for some reason. I usually gear towards somewhat older men (3-5 years older than me) too so that is odd.

I'd love to find a woman my age or even a bit older is ok too.

Why do men date younger women? It's because they can (ie, it's socially acceptable). Let's face it, from a purely physical perspective it makes sense as younger women are physically more attractive. However, this is not to say that I think this is a real good idea for the long run. I'm sure many will disagree with me...quite emphatically no doubt.

BTW, this appears to be catching on among women as well. Several older women at the tennis club I belong to have much younger boyfriends. Even I, at the ripe old age of 56, have had a few offers; usually prefaced with, "So, do you cruise in the winter? What do you drive?".

The world is changing. I'm not convinced it's for the better.

This is an interesting question. The only other relationship I've been in, aside from the one I'm in now, was with a younger guy - only a year younger, but still younger. I went on a few dates with another younger guy last fall and I seem to attract a lot of attention from younger men, in the 20-25 range.

The man I am now seeing is older than me by six years, but before he met me, he dated only older women and his ex-wife is three years older than he is. She's the one who told him he should/needed to go younger, to look for a woman who hadn't yet seen and experienced everything life has to offer - someone who could share many new things with him. He agreed and I'm very happy that he did!!
