    I think to sum it up isn't isn't the ease of catching the prey but the QUALITY of the prey.

    Top drawer!

    i think youve got an admirer there!

    IT is fascinating. The older I ge the more attention I get whether it's wanted or not. Perhaps some of it can be chalked up to taking care of ourselves, and the self confidence. And the no games thing..

    Agreed. And it doesn't just attract the 20-somethings. You also see it in the posts where people ask what a guy wants in a girl. The answer, in general, is not a physical trait - it is confidence.

    Older woman = Less games, better educated,,,,can actually have a conversation!! Believe it or not an educated woman is hot!!

    I didn't know you were so "deep" Everlast.....(insert innuendo here, lol).

    As a newly separated 34 year old mother of 2 I hope to someday be considered a MILF (I even chose that as my "stripper name" in another thread :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ).

    I am one of those "older" woman out on the market now and get hit up by very young men... I ask them also what they want an older woman for! Can't they find anyone their own age... I have gotten the following responses:

    1. There is no drama with older women
    2. There is no pressure with older women
    3. Older women know what they are doing
    4. Older women know what they want and are not afraid to ask for it
    5. There are no expectations with older woman.

    So in a sense... we are comfortable in our own skin and they wanna see what that is like!

    I found this a lot on internet dating sites. Despite stating that I was only interested in men over 40, I got an awful lot of very persistent 20 somethings. In theory, the exchange is somehting like:

    Woman - gets attention from younger male, feels flattered and sexy and attractive, gets to have sex with someone with no bagage and a fair bit of stamina.

    Man - gets to have sex.

    That's a pretty broad assumption..

    I know I am certainly more confident than I was in my 20s, especially in the sex department. Now, if we could create a time machine where I could have the life/sex experience I have NOW but in my 25yr old body (which I didn't appreciate at the time!!)...now yer talkin'! For starters, I'd take zero rubbish from lads...mind you, I don't think I could make it in the FB/text/email era...in my day, if you dumped someone, you did it in person or by post (snail mail, ye youngins call it)...

    PartyTime!!

    As a single\divorced male of 46 years of age here is my take:
    I will take a 46 year old over a 26 year old ANY DAY!

    Women that take care of themselves and have confidence trumps a younger woman everytime. It is the life experiences that make an older woman more attractive to me.

    And don't think that for a second that some older women don't play games or have drama, you can only hide crazy for so long!

    I think the younger guys are attracted to older woman for one reason and that is to gain experence. Once that's accomplished they ditch us to move on to the younger woman and settle down, get married and have children. That's my opinion, don't beat me up for it!

    Part of it might be that you don't look anything close to 43. I would have guessed a decade or more younger.

    have to agree, you look very young! x

    I don't really think of myself as a cougar, but I'm 32 and my husband is 27. It just works of us. I'm definitely more aware of our age difference than he is. But I can agree that he loves the fact that I'm educated, I don't play games and I know what I want.

    Thanks! It's probably a combo of giddiness and doing a job I love, having a great family and friends and never ever missing an opportunity to have a laugh....

    All this positive feedback is not what I planned for this thread but I have to say, it's made me feel great before starting my four week boot camp challenge!

    You said in another thread no one flirts with you? How could that be? I don't get it!

    All women of all ages rule.... especially YOU if you can run... it's something I would love to be able to do. Seems as unattainable as me starting to fly spontaneously.

    Jumping in because I've wondered this as well. I get slightly uncomfortable when someone younger approaches me (I'm 41) and always feel like I have to blurt out how old I am.:indifferent: Very smooth. :ohwell:

    Love it! 22! and that's not a big age gap, really...my hub is 2.75yrs younger, for the few months I'm 3 yrs older I get some slagging. Though I look younger than he does (in my own head), he will always be my boytoy!
