Older women dating younger men - is it seen as less taboo these days?

marc_p88 · 26/06/14 - 21:02

I find older women much more attractive, both in personality and physically. Younger women my age drink a ton of alcohol every weekend, act immature and generally don't look after themselves as much as older, more mature women do.

Okay, so that may be a generalisation of young women from the ages of 18-25, but it's true for a lot of them.

Okay, so I'm mainly trying to get at, are older women, say from age 40-45, more open minded these days to dating younger men or do they feel younger men are too immature?

Given up on the daygaming then Mark?

I have had a friendship with an attractive older woman before in her 40's, but things were too complicated, which was a shame as she was nice and a good laugh.

So then, are you having much luck?

My ex was 14 yrs older than myself, the one before that 9yrs older, when I was 17 I was seeing a girl 8 yrs older. It's never really been a taboo as far as I am concerned. The wife now though is a couple yrs younger. Age doesn't matter to me, if you click you click.

Haven't been looking to be honest. I am just interested in people's opinions on it. I don't see many younger guys with older women in day to day life. It has always been older men and young women, and I've been thinking that because divorce rates are higher than ever (apparently) that older women are deciding to date younger.

As a 22 year old male myself, you've hit the nail on the head! I find women in they're 30's and 40's much more interesting and attractive

Exactly, pal. Also, older women seem to be more in touch with today's young culture and interests than ever before.

Not at all.

That sounds like a classic line from the daystalking manual- Chaper 21- 'How to get Kino with a Cougar'.

It hasn't been taboo ever since the term "cougar" made it into popular culture. Nothing wrong with being attracted to older women IMO. My first time was with a woman much older than me....she'd have been mortified if she knew I was not quite 16 at the time though

I don't think it was taboo before that. When I was University I had a thing going with a woman of 41, I was 20.

Heh, I thought you were the type who would have a go with anything that moves! But it turns out that its anything twice your age that moves and that's cool, totally fine.

I will add that I would never date someone with a kid as a child of divorced parents

I went on a few dates with a 30 year old recently but it didn't work out sadly. I will probably end up with someone my age as they will have matured by the time I want to settle down

Personally I can think of nothing more boring and icky than entertaining a younger man.
So no I prefer someone who has a bit of experience under his belt [pun intended] and can hold a conversation, and broaden my World a little bit.
Young men tend to just be a bit pretty. And that is all.

TBF Pumps you do have a very mature outlook on life [at least IMO]. You are not exactly a typical young man as far as I can make out.

I would make an exception for you lol
