    NO! I would look for OLder than me, same age, NOT Younger.
    I know a guy that is only like 5 years younger than me and SOOOooo into childish things, like video games.....BUT In soo many ways he is a great catch. BUT I dont think i could deal with that, tried for a time in my 20's. Younger men for older woman is slippery slope and dangerous, if nothing else emotionally and maybe financially for the lady. I guess I would be too intollerant of what makes them younger and too insecure to try to include them in my time. sexually it might be Great, But , I can do That Myself verses needing a man for that. If it is companionship, age matters some. It is really up to the individuals and if they Fit! Many May/Dec. Love Matches Last, I think anyways, although i dont know of any, even off the top of my head.

    Not for me. Besides, it really sounds like it's between the two of you, not a forum of strangers who don't know your personalities.

    Date, meaning, for fun, yes. But date, meaning trying to find someone to be involved in a serious, committed relationship...probably not unless he was no younger than 4-5 years, and then only if you're both over 40.

    Depends on how young. If he has the qualties your looking for in a partner, then why not. Age is only a number. Some younger guys are immature but so are some older ones. Do what makes you happy.

    It depends on how much younger. He would definitely have to be mature though. I am currently married to a younger man, but he is only 2 years younger and everyone thinks he is older than me!

    I am an older woman not attached. No, I don't date younger men. I only like mature men.

    Young != immature

    There are young men who are far more mature than older men.

    Age is just a number.

    That's true... I've met 20 yo men and 50 yo kids. But the first ones are very very rare.

    I am 40 and attached. If we were to split, I honestly dont know if i would put myself back out on 'the market'. Relationships are such hard bloody work! If i did, i probably would date people with in 5 years fo my age (either way). We are more likely to have common ground that way.

    I'd never find another man like my husband. I think I'd stay unattached, except for maybe an occasional fling if I got too lonely. Age would not be a consideration one way or the other...he'd just have to be able to keep up with me. I'm kinda high-energy.

    I prefer men my own age...like 35-45. They just have more life experience and play fewer games. They also have some definite knowledge about women ...a plus. However. I've found that there is a huge, untapped market of 20-something's out there who actually desire an "older" woman. (As I type that word with my 42 year old fingers. I feel a bit nauseous. Lol. Old? Please tell me no...lol). Thusly, its really titillating to know that there is a world of young men out there who, given a choice, actually seek out younger men. Still, given the chance, I still prefer around my own age.

    It's not about desiring older women, it's about looking with your freaking eyes instead of thinking in categories.

    Also, young girls can be annoyingly prudish and lacking "technical skills".

    I You are exactly right.. Same goes for women past. . mid 30's: less likely to play games either AND. . . well. . . yeah. Much better all round. In every way.

    I guess it would depend on the guy, but I certainly wouldn't be actively looking for a significantly younger guy. I prefer people who I have more in common with - someone closer to my age.

    Yes! He was ... um.. 18 years younger :)

    We talked and laughed all the time. we listened to each other, it was great!

    I have tried dating guys my age.. man.. it's like dating grandpa's, so set in their ways, no changing/flexibility of the minds, nada..

    One even held his pants up with rope!

    Agreed. Relationships are work. Think I'd be ok on my own

    All depends on the person's maturity level.

    I am married.

    My next man is going to be younger because I want someone who can keep up with me! My husband has been an old man since the day I met him.

    Yes. In fact I do not think I have dated anyone older than me since I was in my late 20's. Depends on the guy though tbh.

    Married 17 years to a hubby 5 years younger. We're still going strong, but if we broke up....^^^^this. I would make a point of getting out and meeting people (outdoor hobbies) but I don't think I'd go looking. If something happened, great. Otherwise, porn and toys would work just fine. :bigsmile: :smokin: :drinker:
