Please someone give me an answer as to why young men even bother viewing a profile of a woman old enough to be their mother, or even grandmother. I get so many views and invitations of this kind and I just don't understand the phenomena.

Guys find older women attractive either because they are like a forbidden fruit or they tend to like the fact older women are a lot more experience n knows what they want! I prefer older women as they are so much fun to be with n willing to try new things n just have a lot of fun

The same thing happens to me - I have no idea why?

Let me put it this way you are one hot cougar! It guessing desperate housewife show has contribute a lot to this issue lol

I hate to say this, but often it is because they are looking for someone to help them financially ...In other words, they are searching for a target...Also, I think some young men (scammers) think we older gals are needy and thus easily fooled by fake attention and fake flattery...

Yea that can be tru but I don't think you can class all young like that sure their are a few scammers, but there are a few who genuine like the company of older women

I could understand this reasoning if they were nudging or inviting to be my friend, but when you get NO nudges or invitations from them, makes me wonder why they bother looking, it's like they're wasting their time. I've deleted many who I thought were way too young, even blocked some; but, there are those that don't invite or nudge. It's just curious to me the way they think.

A lot of older women are still hot and a lot of fun. A lot of younger women are pains in the azz.

younger men view older women as experienced lovers. hehehe, most are even connoisseurs frankly, i'd pick an older woman any day

I agree, they assume older women have money and will be willing to take care of them if they act like they like her. My response is, when I decide to take care of a man, I will go adopt a boy baby and take care of him.

I do believe that some men really do love older women and have no alterior motives. Look at a few celebs with big gaps between their age and I cannot see what their motives woul be?

I think alot of these young guys view older womens profiles just out of curiosity and boredom. You don't know someones age either without viewing their profiles. Maybe they thought you were younger before viewing.

Just be flattered.. who really cares if they look, after all, when we make a profile, we are exposing ourseelxes to everyone.

It doesn't bother me when they look, it bothers me when they hit on me and expect me to take them up on it. As for celebs, I don't really count them, they live very different lives from us regular folks.....

Well said

Or the reason for much younger men looking at your profile could be because of your posting a thread with this description:

I would like you gentlemen out there to look at my profile picture and tell me how old I look. Be honest now, please. This picture was taken last month. I want the truth and thank you all, whether it be the good the bad or the ugly! LOL

To be completely honest, I didn't even think about that any more than I think that about the other posts I've put up or answered to, but now I have a new perspective. Thank you.

One thing more, most of the looks at my profile came in before I even posted anything on this thread.

I think it's safe to say that if a young man wanted money, or a business relationship he would be on Linkedin. ultimately on any online community everyone is in search of their specific "Target". As a young man interested in older woman I can say it simply has to do with the "No BS" aggressive nature an older woman carries, more experience, and the gratifying feeling that is received when an intimate secret encounter is shared outside of the world's view of the topic.

haha no problem

It's a dating site. All kinds of people are going to view all kinds of profiles. Profiles are there to be looked at. Some men are into older women as well.

Yes they live different lives but they are just people like the rest of us. I don't think they are any different when it comes to attraction and love, unless they are from another world
