ALWAYS? All of them? I can't imagine I'll want a younger man, when I reach my fifties. I can't think of anything worse than playing video games, going to nightclubs, other things much younger people do. I have to live a quiet life.

Younger men have zero appeal for me past a fleeting glance as eye candy; and rarely that when good looking mature men are everywhere.

I certainly do not find them interesting or sexy when I am in that trail of thought.

And I certainly would not want them expecting me to teach them something a mature man has usually mastered.

If I wanted to babysit or finance another kid I would have done so when I could have taught him better manners and job skills.

Most of the younger men I see flitting around my peer age friends have pretty much spent their parents into the poor house and been cut off and just looking for a subsidy. Most have minimal ability to manage themselves and many are petulant slobs with horrendous driving records ; often addictions.

They would NOT understand your references to things like old movies or television shows you grew up on or music or what it was like to wear bell bottom jeans or metal lunch boxes and life before cell phones or microwave ovens

I see from your response here, that others think differently. I never would get involved with a younger man. So many of them are very immature and not settled down. At this age I just can't be bothered with the games they play.

Hi Wade, I can only tell you from a personal perspective that I prefer younger men and the company of younger men as they are more full of life. I still want real love and romance and men my own age often cannot perform or are not "up" for a real encounter. Health problems and slowing down are all a part of the picture. I have met a few older men that still have a zest for life and real romance, but not many. Christina

I'm 58 but I feel 30, Well, the younger men can keep up. It's that simple.

You look good

You look good

You are very cute..and I would enjoy your view!!

It isn't true for all attractive female over 50+, There are just as many men that do the same..

I guess there are many reasons why people are interested in those younger or much younger. It might be the fear of getting old and for some of us near or past 50, it might be they are tired of people their age who are grumpy, don't take care of themselves, lack energy, and enthusiasm for life itself.

For me, a younger woman of maybe 8 years would be the limit since I don't think we would connect on a cultural level (reference to past events, movies, etc. that shape our views). I'm sure there are exceptions but when a 20-something or young 30's contacts me, it's a scam. There is no reason why they would want to be my friend, date me, or consider me husband potential.

As for an older woman, a few years older is okay but at this point, ideally I wish for an active woman who is healthy enough to ride a bike, etc. and still enjoys sex.

Luckily I am in good shape and am healthy but it's not only genes. For a woman my age who doesn't take care of herself (i.e. - smokes, drinks too much, and doesn't monitor her nutrition - men should take care of themselves too!), she is a dependency in the making.

I know it's cold, at the same time, I don't think a woman would want a man who is considerably over a reasonable weight, smokes and stinks, doesn't groom himself or even bath everyday, or takes care of his teeth. I see a lot of men my age who don't update their clothes, fail to keep themselves groomed, or have lost caring for themselves. Maybe they're depressed or have a medical condition but certainly you can shave or trim your beard, and cut the hairs that grow out of your ears and nose.

If a person doesn't care enough to keep themselves in good shape to the best of their abilities, why would they care about a significant other? Nobody loves you like you.

wow... can't believe so many were just insulted. I would never want Mr. Perfectionist. Nor would I care for anyone close to the age of my kids lol. If your looking for the "perfect" one... may never find her. I certainly would not look for anyone just like me. Perhaps there is that one that could be found and needs help in an area of their lives.... why not try to comfort or help in that one area? There could be a great person.. and if you specify she needs to ride a bike with you to stay fit... she might be out there but for some reason can not ride a bike... your loss. I'm sure she would want to try to do an alternative exercise with a new friend. So many are so lonely than need to be because they only think of themselves. Look outside your box people.. get out of the rut you put yourself in. It works.

I don't but they contact me however I would go out with a man up to ten years younger if intelligent has a sense of humour and is reasonably attractive

I made the huge mistake of marrying a younger man. I guess I thought the grass was greener...as the saying goes. All it proved was that he was not mature enough nor ready to grow up. Won't make that mistake again! :)

I would think it's because some younger men go after older women. Personally , I've always loved older men, but now that I'm older that can't be . I have lots of younger men pursuing me .

Well, even a 53 year old man without a guy would be pleased to date you

I assure you, men do this too.



Various reason, I'm guessing - from ... simply - they are attracted to younger men/women ....... or they are looking for arm candy...... or... trying to relive their youth?


Someone once told me, don't worry about the ones who are NOT interested in you - only about the ones who are. I thought that was good advice. :)

Actually its not age what matters, is it?

There a quite a lot of men around, who are my age - and still young in mind (I hope, lol! Still have to find him)

I would feel funny and strange having a young man who could be my son. Would not feel right

But, I think a younger man would only be interesting, if both minds compare.

Please excuse my expressions - I am german

NoT true, I'm not looking for younger men, they just think we can support them! Or just like Cougars! I go for the heart in people!

I'm 67 and they are coming after me.
I'm not interested and even said so on
My profile, but that doesn't seem to stop them.
