Topic: Age and dating | |
---|---|
A woman in her 40's who looks good and youthful and has no baggage also brings to the relationship intelligence, experience and intellect, something which a woman who is half that age lacks. Even if a middle aged man is initially attracted to a barely legal woman, he will grow weary of her when he realizes that her intellect is on a much lower level than himself. All she can ever be is a booty call. A real man and an intelligent one craves a woman who is on the same level or higher with him in intelligence and intellect. You need to "turn on his mind" more than anything else for him to stay with you. That is where the older youthful woman with no baggage has an edge and an advantage over all the rest, including the younger women. I agree with this 100% |

I'm 48. That's not really young. I date guys in their 60's, but I'm not involved with anyone now. I will date younger too, but I don't seem to get that option. I'm not saying older men are not attractive, I just wish at least sometimes that I had a choice. you do have a choice. I've seen your posts on many topics. you strike me as a confident intelligent lady who knows what you want in life. you're beautiful and do look younger. you have the choice not to wait for someone to come to you. make friends and see where it goes from there |

I'm thinking ... could it have to do with your height?
My next door neighbour is approx same height, and the neighbour on the other side, 66-ish, is totally taken with her. Totally ridiculous as she's 31. I think many men feel drawn to shorter women, somehow makes them feel more masculine and I think it calls on their need to protect. I also know that many men like 'girly' women, and someone that's shorter would easier appear like a 'li'l girl'. I got a friend who's not that tall either, and she has this girly behaviour down to a T. And men are queuing up for a chance to be with her. Being on the tall side myself, I also know that a taller woman can scare some men off, as if her height makes them feel less masculine or insecure, a threat to their ego? Something like that. Even when I started teaching I was told by a male colleague I had the advantage because of my height, as it made me appear stronger. Wonderful to hear as a woman, and I ain't even all that tall. Anyway, height does have an effect on people, and quite often not an effect that makes us happy ... |

Also, mentioned that before, I think 46-49 ish is a very difficult age for a woman to find a man. A lot of men 45 and up seem to want a (much) younger partner. I also get approached by a lot of men close to 60, sometimes in their 60s. Not what I want, I want someone my own age (49).
But if I was to approach my age group and the older one, I'd get far more replies from the older group, let's say 58-68. They're all eager to have a younger woman, and it seems our age group wants the same. |

Thank you. That picture was from December. I don't think I look that young. Most people just seem to comment on my height. I have to say that I am kind of selfconscious of my height. Beautiful tbings come in small packages I hope you find what you're looking for. |

I do think that some men like smaller women to fulfill there 'protector role' needs. does this friend of yours manipulate men with her behavior because she's short? |

I find myself agreeing with most of the posts on here,apart from the height thing,to me that's just personal taste.
I will add one more thought for Cat though. Some guys feel intimidated by such an attractive and confident woman. They automatically think they have no chance,so never make a move. It is a shame in some cases, but sometimes things happen and those two people are thrown together and wonder why the hell they didn't talk in the past. Hang in there Cat,he will be worth waiting for |

"My own age" to me means a few years either way, not exactly the same age. |

Hello

Last but not least, I think it's very backwards the older man younger woman thing.. They usually/statistically don't last as long as we do and leave us yearning... I'm looking for a man at least 5 it even 10 years younger. Gotta be!
