Maybe it's said because some older women are jealous of younger women, and they resent older men dating younger women. In my opinion you are better to keep your options open and ignore hearsay, many men have dated women from all age groups in their search for the one, dating a younger woman does not preclude you from later dating an older woman as it appears some women would have you believe. Good luck in your search.

Ermm.... he's not speaking of dating younger women.

Chatting/dating that's "six of one, half a dozen of the other.", some older women see no difference. He should ignore the gossips and carry on chatting to women of any age in my opinion.

Its seems there are a lot of assumptions and stereotyping happening in yer neck of the woods.

People do all sorts of things for many different reasons.

Assuming an older man associating and connecting with young women automatically makes him a sexual pervert is type-casting and assuming all men are the same.

Assuming older women are disgusted with a man who associates with younger women is drawing a wide conclusion based on insufficient evidence.

Something which often 'gets in the way' of starting relationships is the fact people tend to make assumptions about the strangers they meet.

They see people act a certain way in movies, television and videos or sometimes in their personal circles of friends and suddenly start attributing those qualities to everyone fitting their idea of someone like them. They forget people are unique and do not always adopt common behaviors.

For those with this mind-set, any potential date/relationship becomes a series of confirmations to their assumptions. They have the assumption that older men are 'dirty old men'. They have assumptions that all women are money hungry or judgemental.

At 60 years old many younger women appreciate and are attracted to how I conduct myself. I have a calmness about me which attracts them. I act decisively and have control of my emotions. I am able to maintain myself with ease. Not to dismiss I am very sexually mature and attractive to women in general. I do not have a 'twisted' sense of humor but I am quite fun and often funny (on purpose), but with tact.

Personally, I find it easy to talk with/interact with all women.
My children's wives and their female friends always seem to like me.
I'm friendly to all but without the sexual undertones. There's been many times in my adult life in which I've declined advances from very beautiful but way too young for me women. My X used to get 'very jealous' of the fact I had young women coming on to me.

I've found someone who does not make assumptions and does not feel threatened by the younger women who are attracted to me. She has no reason to feel threatened because I give her no reason. On the other hand, I do not feel threatened by her male friends. I also do not make assumptions and carry jealousy.

If someone enters into a relationship (any kind of relationship) with someone they are not prepared to trust, the relationship is doomed from the start.
Its best to allow people to be themselves instead of immediately labeling them and putting them into a box.

As for the women you associate with that are your own age, perhaps you are choosing the wrong women to associate with?
If things are not working out the way you planned, yer doing it wrong.
Set aside yer assumptions and make better choices in how you execute your plan.
If the women your age, which you are attracted to are overly judgemental, change your interest base to a slightly younger range of women.
Instead of the 55-60 range, go for the 40-50 range.
If you are really attracted to women 20 years younger, then change your strategy to only approach the women in your actual interest age range.

All it takes is some honest self-assessment and discipline.
Plus, what anyone not in your interest rage thinks is not really important because it is 'your life' and your preference as to what makes 'you' happy.

At 57 years old, I would think (assumption) you would obviously have it figured out by now. Yer acting like a 20 year old, unsure of what he wants.

Just use your head and don't worry about what others think, they're going to think it no matter what you do. Be yourself and...
Choose Wisely!

In this thread, you lament women in your age group
saying it's inappropriate for you to greet younger
women.



Then, in the other thread you started, maybe 24 hours later,
you contradict this thread, bemoaning that younger women
find in creepy, when you greet them.



Are you catching onto the pattern there?
