do older men like young women?

No no, of course not! xD

Yep, that's basically what arthur and I were talking about. That this is no "black and white" type matter.

 

I didn't read any of this thread - the title alone makes it possibly one of the dumbest questions I've ever seen asked.

 

If this means we're buds now, let me know.

 

There are two phrases for you to consider...

One - "Never judge a book by its cover,"

and,

Two - "There is no such thing as a dumb question."

 

Hmm, are we? lol Well, at the very least we respect each other's stance on this issue, especially since we more or less see it from the same angle. For that matter, I respect the opinions of those opposing my views if they are also respectful of my own, so... And besides, we're all different and it would be a bit spooky if everyone could actually agree on every matter imaginable.

So the way I see it, this could be a start of a friendship...although, I'm the mysterious one around here and I remain anonymous for the most part...

 

I understand.

I was being a bit sarcastic. I'm actually not much the "bud" type, except, well,,"bud" bud. I also prefer my personal space. Too many compromises otherwise, and as they say, "familiarity breeds contempt".

But yes, we both see some things in a somewhat similar manner.

 

Haha, gotcha. I hear ya man.

 

Like your opinion...even wants to add, before will talk for the product quality try it

 

Does a bear shit in the woods?

*tips hat*

 

Does water run downhill?

 

yeah im older guy but i like younger women too but i like them my age too so i like em all lol

 

I don’t like younger women. I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t have similar memories to mine like growing up without cell phones, or like watching 90s tv shows.

 

To each his own I suppose. Although, I think the intergenerational aspect of it can make thing more interesting if the two parties could connect well. Often times, this also seems to be the case with platonic type friendships, too.

I've always loved interacting with all age groups because each age group has something different to offer. Older people have interesting stories to tell in the form of "when I was your age...." type stuff which could be very educational and at the very least fascinating. Younger people have always kept my mind fresh with their new ideas and their less jaded approach to life. And the people around my age, well, I can be all nostalgic with them, lol. But for some reason, I've never really been able to connect romantically with people really close to my own age group or older. Like I said before, I'm still a teen at heart and have much easier time relating to younger people than many others my age might.

 

Yep. For me so long as they're 18+ and it's consentual, what the hell.

 

ok so I didn't take the time to read pages 3 and 4, but I think I get the general idea.

I'm a 22 year old female and I have NEVER been in a relationship with anyone my "age" (within 8 years of my age). When I was 17 I was engaged to a 27 year old. Unfortunately he passed away a year and a half later (yeah I know it was illegal, blah blah blah, get over it)

For the last 3 years I have been seriously involved with my best friend who is 25 years my senior. He has only ever been with "younger" women. Him and I are taking a break now and I am sort of seeing (more just a good friend with benefits) a 32 year old who I consider to be the closest person to my age I've ever been with.

Those are just the male relationships I've been in (I'll leave the female ones out for the sake of the argument)

A lot of people (friends and family and such) "worry" about me when they find out I'm in these relationships with older men because they think they are the typical "creeper" who just wants in my pants.

That has NEVER been the case with any of these men. The one I'm with now (and my ex fiance) never actively pursued younger women. However, I have been told I'm considerably mature for my age and I was able to meet them on an intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and sexual level - no matter what their age was.

When it comes to age - I think that is the most important thing. Life experience is important too - but if you are with someone who is willing to teach you (NOT belittle you because you are young) and learn from you as well, than it is not such a big deal.

My last relationship (the 25+ years older than me one) was with a man who had WAY more life experience than I did. He'd traveled the world, been married twice, had a daughter, gone through incredible spiritual transformations, worked just about every job . . . but he never once belittled me or thought less of me because I wasn't on that level of experience as he was.

I thought of him as both a mentor and a lover.

Ironically, the guy I'm with now - I consider ME to be the more experienced one when it comes to life. He's never even traveled outside the country or had more than 2 jobs. He's only been in 2 relationships. No kids. I've done all these things and more.

But that is ok. It doesn't matter to me because we can learn from each other.

Don't pursue someone older (or men, if they are younger) just because of their age - do it because of WHO they are and their personality. If they match on a deeper level go for it!

Remember, age is just a number

 

you murdered him?

 

no . . . he was hit by a car
