A question for the older gentlemen of lit

Easier to control and mnipurate? I dunno.

I personally date 18 year olds for their intelligence.

That's what we're hoping you'd say.
 
how old is older? i have dated someone who was over 20 years younger than me. she was/is extremely smart, focused and quite fun to be with. to this day we remain friends. age had nothing to do with it. we had a mutual attraction.

For you older gentlemen out there who like to date younger women, I'm curious as to why you date them? What is it that makes you want to date them more than women your own age?
I have always dated men older than myself, I find them to be more interesting, more mature, more intellectual, and more sexually experienced.
Personally I don't intentionally seek out younger women - in fact I used to avoid them because I thought them too immature and flighty - until a few young ladies here changed my mind.

There is the genetic programming; youth is sexually attractive, especially to men. There is also the cultural programming, and then there is the aspect that many younger women don't yet have a jaded outlook on life and men.

Of course there is the totally manipulative point of view; younger women are usually easier to impress (both with wealth and experience - which older men often have more than younger men) and they are often looking for someone with a more mature and experience outlook.

All in all I prefer women closer to my age (almost 50) rather than younger as I have more in common with them, but many are either married (or otherwise attached), have a jaded outlook/attitude or have other downsides - so I have expanded my criteria to include younger women.
 
I'm almost 44, which makes me somewhat older, though not elderly like Ishmael, for example.

The "gentleman" part depends on your point of view. Ha!

I've dated mostly women in their late twenties and early thirties since I was in my early twenties.

I'm not much for rules at the best of times, so I simply date women that appeal to me.

If I have a pattern of physical preferences it has been mostly (but not always) with women between 5'5 and 5'8, dress size 6,8 or 10, 34-36 B-C, very cute bums, with drrty blonde-brunette-mahogany hair.

I've mostly dated completely single university educated women of undivorced parents with older siblings, responsible careers, lots of natural intelligence, sparkle, wit, spunk and a bit of mischief in them.

The greatest age differences have been 24 years younger and 10 years older respectively. In recent years, my dates have mostly been 7-12 years younger. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth for women 27-32.

I prefer women with cheerful demeanor, lust for life, warmth, an even disposition, intelligence, charm, poise, sense of humour and a juicy response to being near me, regardless of their age.

for me there are several reasons. first, there are not a lot of women my age on the dating circuit here in my little town and the ones that are all seem to want to get married. something i'm not likely to do again.

second, most of the people that i hang with in general are quite a bit younger and i stay younger by virture of their company. don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to be hip, don't talk jive and i don't get into dick measuring contests with the young guys. i just like younger people.

third, i'd be lying if i said that it wasn't just one hell of a lot sexier making love to someone with a young, firm body and as long as that option is still available to me i'm gonna jump on it (so to speak).

fourth, ego i suppose. i'm currently seeing a twenty four year old beauty. we've been friends for a long time and we get together all the time. can't tell you how cool it is to see the looks of wonder or to field the questions about our relationship with a chessire cat smile and nothing more. had a young buck that had been after her for a while approach us at my birthday party the other night and ask, "is this your dad?" cool to the end she smiled, hugged me and said, "no, this is may special friend, johnny" she followed that up with a light kiss on the lips and his looks was absolutely priceless.

i could probably think up a few more but those should do for now.:D
 
I don't discriminate with age. So to turn this around, when I was 26, I dated a 51 year old woman. Then when I was 28, I dated a 21 year old, which is pretty much the norm these days. Each has its plusses and minuses. The important thing to me is to enjoy their company.

Now there is a statement worthy of a truly mature and secure man.

Sounds like something I experienced.. he was about 30 years older than me. He was SO intelligent, sweet, kind, interesting, just, one of those people you can talk to, but want to spend AGES listening to. I was from Catholic background, he was from Jewish, and I loved listening to him talk about his faith. We are still great friends, he took me out for lunch on Christmas Eve.

Now, why do I like older men? They are experienced.. in bed, in life, in business. They've learned from their mistakes already. They've grown up, and like to get to know women for more than just their pussy... they are interested in a woman's mind.. they understand that looks come and go, and that thought is what counts. And... *blush* I like to feel protected. I really do like the whole daddy/daughter ideal (not in real life, I'm not into real incest, I just like the stories about it). I like older men who are willing to flex their muscles for me, who are willing to protect me, to be proud of me; men who have already had their achievements, which I am so proud of them for, and men who are proud of my achievements as I experience them.

*sigh*
 
I think there is a big difference between "older" and "mature." I prefer mature men. Be they 16 or be they 76. My father is older, he's about 60 now. He's about as mature as the puppy I just got for Christmas. My neice's fiance is 16, however, and he is one of the most mature men I've ever met.

I prefer them mature because, quite frankly, I'm difficult to deal with and immature men simply can't handle the added strain. I found out early in life that strong-willed woman + immature man = bad relationship.

I like integrity, intelligence, wit, fun-loving, all the good stuff. I need it to be tempered with wisdom, responsibility, and stability. Ya'll may not have noticed, but I tend to rage all over the place. A mature guy can handle it. An immature one is out the door.

Older, don't actually care. Mature is a must.

Perhaps your ideal kinda guy would better be described as "sedated" rather than "mature"...then, as you mature, his meds could be decreased accordingly.

No, thank you, Lance. I've already got a man and I don't particularly like immature men, no matter how elderly you are. I'm flattered by your offer, though.

:)
 
Why don't we all just date people instead of dating ages?

















or I could tell you it's about perkier breasts.
 
I am not choosey...

I have dated women 10 years younger than me, and women 10 years older than me, as well as my own age. What is important to me is maturity and chemistry....some women my age are just too immature for me...and some women younger have been perfect...just depends on the woman.

Of course, I would have a better explanation if I HAD many dates period.
 
I date yonger women because that's older women all want to date men older than them.

What if I were even more sedated than him?

Would I stand a chance then?

You're already more sedated than him, sugar. You still don't stand a chance. You're simply not man enough to handle me without abusing me. No offense intended, but hey, why beat around the Dubya?
