Do men really prefer younger women?

[Queen_Vicki]

After reading this article, http://www.xojane.com/sex/30-is-the-...my-dating-life

and reading online comments from men stating how much they prefer younger women over us older ladies that are 25+ I came to the conclusion that it's very hard out here for us older ladies.Although I get mistaken for being a teenager OFTEN,I can't help but to feel somewhat jealous of women younger than me. But only little bit, than I realize how much GOD has blessed me,and how awesome I am.

Anyways, what's your guys opinions. I also would like to hear from men across the forum as to why they only go for younger women. And please, don't say they are fertile, cause most of these men of today don't want kids, but will say that bullshit anyways

No, "older" women are lovely and preferred.

 

[HellBenttoo]

No, men prefer willing women.

 

[Anordinaryjoe]

Depends on the woman to be honest. I enjoy the company of both younger and older.

 

[BuckyDuckman]

I believe too many men are intimidated by a woman who might have enough life experience to have their own opinions. Too many men (falsely, IMHO) believe they can mold a younger woman into the woman they want to have. Most of those same men need a testicular transplant since they clearly don't have anything resembling balls inside their sacs. A real woman is ALWAYS preferred.

However, it does remind me of a joke about an elderly couple sitting on the sofa one Sunday after sharing the Sunday paper. She's reading the Parade magazine insert and he's reading the sports section. Suddenly, she rolls up her Parade magazine and swats him across the back of the head.

"What was THAT for?" he demands.

"For 35 years of BAD sex!"

A moment later, he hits across the back of the head with his sports section.

"What was THAT for?" she demands.

"For ever knowing the difference."

All women are pains in our asses. From Ma, on. I welcome reunion with the infinite without you. Death is sweet relief.

Women over 25?

Ewwww!

 

[NorthernGinger]

In my experience, the kind of men I am
Into are far more attracted to older women. Not all men are threatened by intelligent, powerful, career-driven women who are sexually experienced, liberated, creative and communicative.



Seriously, I think it's different strokes for different folks.

There is something to be said for women of all ages, and the best thing about older women is they like older men.

Whenever a younger woman goes on about how attractive she finds older men, don't take that shit seriously.

Well, that's a lot of generalizations based on a demographic of men who will comment on an article like that. But it depends on the man, depends on the woman. On so many different levels.

But the argument about fertility correlates with the argument about how men are "biologically wired" to spread their genes amongst the healthiest women, and a lot of visible indicators of fertility are displayed amongst women at their prime, which is when they're young. The instinct is not usually about wanting to raise kids. lol I think this baser model is some of why the men who want young women want young women.

But in the end, everyone wants something different and I'm inclined to say no, not all men only look for young women. I don't want the man who has the biggest muscles who can beat up the most guys, which is what I'm supposed to find attractive to raise the "best" offspring, which is what had the best chance of survival. I'm attracted to the values I've developed over the years and characteristics I find most important and compatible/healthy with who I am and the environment we live in today. There literally is someone for everyone, it's not about being attractive to the largest number of people.

You're playing to the house.

 

[Amberchgo]

I've persoanlly always enjoyed an older man. Could be a couple years. Could be a couple decades.

 

[eyer]

...us older ladies that are 25+...

Too friggin' funny...

I hate it when I find out they are only saying that to get me into bed...

Being a check mark on someone's bucket list is rough work, but somebody has got to do it.

Yeah... like most animals human females tend to be more selective than males. Because they have more options. In a heterosexual relationship, the men put the effort into starting the relationship (take out on dates, etc) and the woman chooses which of her suitors she wants to purse the relationship with. So if this pattern holds true, it's probably because men know that women won't pick them if they have suitors that are better. And because our social contribution is usually financial, if we went for older women- like if I, in my 20s, went after a woman in her 30s, I'll be competing with suitors in their 30s-40s. Men in their 40s don't live in shacks in the woods. They don't have entry level jobs. They have careers; they're stable and established in their communities. So why the hell would she pick me? I can't take her on nice vacations. I don't have mid-life crisis cockmobiles or bedrooms with matching furniture. There's a fucking Zelda poster over my bed. She's not gonna select me over other potential mates. So fuck that. I'll compete with women who only have other shitty, immature suitors, and I might have a shot.

The under 25 crowd are great to spend some time with. Fresh, bubbly, don't have a care in the world attitude, skin is smooth and lovely to touch. The sex is great, lots of energy, willing to do anything to experiment, the body taut and tight.

Having said that, they are only playthings.

For real relationships and enjoyment nothing can compare to the 40 plus ladies who are quick, funny, intelligent, know what they want and express those wants (in no uncertain terms) and especially have kept themselves active and conditioned. Hello lovely.

Some men like younger women, some men like all ages. Depends on the man.

 

[NickiC]

Nope and I am young. My mother's 55 year old friend pulls men like an 18 year old. Men respond to sex and an upkept woman who they feel good around. She is with a man 10+ years younger and he is crazy for her. She takes care of herself and she is interesting and she likes men a lot. Men are visual creatures. Look your best and be open and fun you will find a good one. No matter your age. My grandmother had boyfriends until the day she died. She was in her 70s then.

Perhaps a lesson from our ancestors?

Are you Greek? My favorite food ever. I eat dolmades every week. If a man doesn't want you? Does it matter? Find one that does.

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

If you are an older lady who looks like a teen, how can you say things are hard for you? Or is this another humble brag thread?

 

[MNGuy]

Sometimes, I go through a period where I notice younger women more than older women. I don't know why, other times, I find myself looking at older women, again, I don't know why.

Since I have an SO, I don't act on it.

But based on interactions with women at work, it would be fun to have sex with a young woman, but as far as having common ground for a relationship, there would be none. The huge advantage of an older woman is their growth and life experiences, An older woman has more to talk about and share.
