Are you attracted to the older woman? What's the appeal?

How much older are we talking?

What do you get out of it? What does she get out of it?

Would you want a relationship with an older woman or does it stop at the dating stage?

What would your friends and family make of it?

Does it work?

Discuss.

Like JDavid mentioned in another thread, it is unlikely that women older than I am are interested in the same things as I am. I didn't rule them out, but the ones I met, there was nothing there.

My brother is almost 50 and never married (that's another story). The gal he's with for the past 2 - 3 years (in a relationship? / dating) is in her mid-60's. I just don't see the attraction because she doesn't do anything.

I don't harbor any negativity because of the age difference alone, but most women my age or older get seasick, won't bait a hook, can't navigate rapids, or can't breathe through a snorkel without choking.

Plus all the weddings they've attended in their lives, they consumed too much wedding cake.

The older woman, younger guy thing is really relative isn't it as to what she gets out of it?

Thanks so much for asking this question. Much younger men ask me out all the time...I'm talking 20-30+ years younger. I simply don't get it. Almost had a thing with a really hunky doctor who was 15 years younger than me. I chicken out just before we went out together. He still lets me know he's interested. One of my friends met him one day. Without knowing the history, she said, "Now that's the kind of man you deserve!" LOL!

Please guys tell me what attraction there is to older women???

I think the appeal of the Older Woman is that they are free from many of the hang-ups/insecurities that inexperienced girls have. Younger guys that I have dated like that they don't have to constantly affirm and deal with the petty - Having more confidence and knowing when to make an issue out of something makes the older woman lower maintenance emotionally and she will more likely "take care of" the man which is a major plus...

Oops, does that mean that men who date older women are lazy in the relationship and want to be taken care of?

I thought I was open about such. My long term partners have been my own or close age. But I notice that as I approach 50, there is step decline in physical appearance of women my own age. There are a few (very few) exceptions. But I just don't feel sexuall attraction. I fail to understand much younger women's attraction to me. However, 30~40 yo have simailar life experince, understanding. They are not silly 20 yo. So given a choice.

At my age - there aren't any older women.

Well that's what my smartypants sons like to badger me with anyway since Dear Ol' Dad is sixty.

Women in their 50s and 60s (some of them anyway) can be very steady, gentle, interesting personalities who are truly pleasant to be around. Not that they are shrinking violets - it's more like their experience has given them the confidence to live Life. not sweat the small stuff, not need a "white knight", not play games (often), and in general just be nice people to be around. A man doesn't have to be even 40 to appreciate really pleasant company.

It's true that age group features fewer women who are acrobats in bed. But on the plus side - their experience often means they don't really need a running start and can give you a kiss that will stoke your fire as much as an twentysomething ever invented. And the Truth is, many mature women are 10 times as much fun outside the bedroom as any of today's thirtysomething "princesses", and that can make for a great relationship.

Local opinions may vary.

I'm so biting my lip to avoid making a joke about my Goth past and cobwebs.
