    I agree with most others- age is just a number. It really depends on the guy.

    I'm still in college, and I'm not around older men enough to really know. The idea of an older aka more mature guy does appeal to me though.

    I am right there with ya! I always seem to go for the older guys. I've never been with anyone younger than me. I've dated someone 5 years older, and currently like someone almost 12 years older than me.

    My parents are 13 years apart.

    Age is just a number to me, it doesnt matter. What matters is the way they act. I'm more attracted to guys that have their lives together and know what they want.

    Age is a big deal to me. I would feel like I was with my dad if he was 15-20 yrs older, GROSS. If that much younger, feel like I was with a kid, GROSS

    ^ This.

    I don't think you have experienced what is like to be with someone that is older than you. I would not feel that way because my dad is like 30 years older than me!

    My dad was 46 when he had me. That has nothing to do with it. Just no attraction to anyone 10-15-20 older. And I'm glad because at my age now, if my partner was that much older, he could be dead by now.

    That is because when you hit the 30's to see the light...LOL

    I think it works in reverse for the men, we are attracted to the younger ones 20 - 25...but me personally I don't care about age as long as you can act mature most of the type and you keep your health, fitness, and life a priority.

    I dunno I am attracted to older women my self.. Especially women who have taken care of themselves, been this way long before the stupid"cougar fad"

    This. I am attracted to older. Just as girls are attracted to older.

    I have a daughter that is 25, anyone I date needs to be closer to my age then hers. And by the way I am a grandpa, have been for almost 7 months now. Some grandpa's look good at 47 :-)

    I find that I feel the same way... Doesn't really matter if you connect with someone, I guess :)

    I don't know how old you are, but it is normal, whether a phase or something that will attract you for the rest of your life. Everyone is different.

    That being said, I think it's insulting for people (over 21) to infer that you only date older men because men your age (or younger/older than 21) are "boys"
    That's like men (even women at times) saying "Oh, you're not a REAL woman unless ___________ . It's simply insulting.

    If you date a guy your own age, you can enjoy him when he is young and then enjoy him all over again when he gets older. Nothing wrong with dating an older man, but just throwing that out there. My husband has always been very mature. Age is not a factor in that. some older men are not mature either (sometimes that's the reason they chase young girls).

    I'd totally bone John Stamos. He's like 20 years or so older than me. I'd also make sweet love to Zac Efron, and he's younger than me. I'm an equal opportunity employer.

    i just think ya guys in there 20's are cute but older then 35 and all of a sudden they morph into a sexual idol.. lol
    just a silly question i guess for fun to see who agrees with me.

    there def is something about older guys! my first serious bf was 12 yrs older than me - i was 19 and he had just turned 32. i have never dated a guy my age, always older. but i dont like it if they look too old!

    and i think they appreciate a younger woman too ;)

    Dating an older guy is quite normal... dating a guy my age is a fetish! :laugh:

    My wife is 13 years yonger than me. She went through the dating "boys" phase and never had a great mature relationshop until she dated someon older (me).

    I think it is normal. Attraction is an ever changing thing as the years go by. I am attracted to different men for different reasons. Just dont lock yourself into any one type of guy or you may miss out on something great. Oh, and never ever ever SETTLE... xx

    It's definitley just a number. Whatever makes you happy is what you should go with!
    Older guys are more experienced and USUALLY a little more mature.
    You only live once, might as well be happy! :happy:

    I am 38 and my husband is 46. I am WAY more attracted to older men now a days. Young boys are fun to look at and flirt with......but that's about it.

    Exactly... It just depends on the guy I guess though... I tend to be attracted to men older than I am... It's the way I have always been though... haha!

    Does it matter? Age is just a number.

    When you are younger, age doesn't matter as much. When you get to be my age? Hell yeah, it matters. I'm 48 with a very high sex drive. (I know...TMI.)

    Guys my age? Well...they're winding down, where I'm just winding up. Regardless of this, I still prefer men my own age, or in the range of my age (38-52). But, I sure as hell don't want anyone who is 10 years older than me--especially if they LOOK they're age in the face and body. Don't want to date someone who has no sex appeal.

    I don't really think it's the age so much as that they are probably more established in life, have better jobs, are more comfortable with themselves. Way less drama with older men too.

    Yes, you're the only woman in the world attracted to older men and it's not normal at all. I would see a doctor about this right away. :indifferent:

    I like the balding men who decide to run with it and shave their heads. There is something about a man who takes something he doesn't like, and rocks the kasbah with it. You can't fake that kind of confidence.
