Why Do Women In Their 30′s And 40′s Want Guys Younger Than Them?

On most of the online date sites – women in their 30′s and 40′s seem to always say they want to meet a guy their age or younger than them. Most guys want a woman younger than them. The math does not work. What ever happened to women going out with older guys (2-10 years older)??? I ask because all women on the web sites attracted to me are older than me and I have no interest in them!

    Most older women date younger men for several reasons….The first is it makes them feel younger next they can control younger men easier because younger men think with the head in there pants not the one on there shoulders so they can get them to do all kinds of things it’s mostly about control and trying to act and be younger.

    I don’t know..I will have to go ask my mother in law..She is 40 and her boyfriend is 24..But I honestly think she likes him because he still does the whole immature love things(like the stuff you do when you are in high school).And I think she like the fact to say that he is only 24.
    Oh and he is not near sexy..He is fat and sloppy and is illegal, so he isn’t working at a good place.And she is not financially stable she is getting by with government assistant stuff(welfare,section 8,etc)

    Same reason guys want younger women–they are generally in better shape and more attractive. I’d assume most women in their thirties and forties are already pretty financially secure so don’t feel like they need an older man to support them, so why not go for someone young and sexy?

    A lot of older guys are going for younger girls, so older women have no option but to go for the younger guys. Also women in their 30′s and 40′s are at their sexual peak, where as for guys, it’s in their 20′s, so the math does work.
    I’m sure though, there will be plenty of girls around your age that will want to date you. Not everyone is looking for someone older/younger. Also, there are more important factors to consider.
    HTH : )

    Men start to deteriorate after 30. Women can use cosmetics to look years younger. We can also alter our dress if we have the bodies for it. The female gender has been told they are not good enough from birth. Since youth and beauty rule the day we strive for both.
    Men are told they are the be all end all. Ugly men don’t try to improve their looks only fatten their wallets. If income were truly the great equalizer then good looking poor men would NEVER get laid.
    Men who were good looking start to develop lines. loose their hair or go gray and are whiny, after 35 and their looks cannot be enhanced by make-up or fashion. They are either set in their ways sexually or their start to loose the vim and vigor they MAY have had when they were younger.
    I don’t want that!

    Well I don’t know what women you are talking about, I prefer older men. The younger men are always chasing women that are younger than they are anyway. A guy that is 20 will go for 17 or 16 year olds , guys that are 25 will go for the 17 and 19 year olds, guys that are 30 will go for the 21 to 23 year olds. I don’t understand why some women lie to themselves, let men be men and you will be happier for it trust me. I love my husband and hes 45, I’m 30.We are happy and he is wonderful.

    I am 41 and my lover is 34. He is amazing and he feels the same way about me. Our age is not a factor to him. It was for me in he beginning then I thought it through and decided “why miss out on this wonderful, sexy, brilliant man who thinks I am an 11! It has been over two years now and we are still growing closer every day! I love him with all my heart and he thinks I walk on water!

    What you just said makes NO SENSE. You said (paraphrasing), “What women are you talking about, I prefer OLDER men. YOUNGER men are ‘all’ out chasing younger women…”
    Okay, what are the OLDER men doing if they’re asking ‘you’, a younger woman out?? They’re chasing younger women, and the ONLY reason they’re doing it is because you’re younger;
    if you were their age they wouldn’t look at you twice (or even once actually). I frankly prefer guys my own age (late 20′s). But older guys look so terrible, they’re barely holding on
    by a string. Flabby chests and legs, bald heads, pot bellies, greasy-looking, arrogant because they’ve earned a couple of dollars, overbearing, think every young woman is checking for their ugly butts.
    But it’s just my opion. I’d take a guy my own age or younger, not older because thy’re awful in bed, just awful, tired. Younger guys can be taught and are eager to learn. Older man doesn’t want to hear how to please anyone IMO.

  • I don’t think women in their 30′s or 40′s date younger guys to ‘spite’ these so-called ‘older men’. Nor do I think it’t because they don’t have options in older men. There will always be older men looking for something younger; it’s as sure as death and taxes. One thing I personally have grown not to like in older men is the ‘older mentality’. I mean it’s almost like as long as he’s doing better than the woman and has more financial pull than she does, all is well. But when the woman starts to out-earn him or he’s not the center of attention it becomes a problem and affects the relationship. Not always but it’s just an example.

    Another thing I’ve noticed about older men (or at least felt strongly) is that during sex, I feel like the older man wants the younger woman to not know as much as he does sexually. It’s like they want to ‘lead’ everything and give direction and have the female follow, but if the female takes the lead or whatever older men seem put-off by that. It’s like you have to play: inexperienced to a degree. I don’t like that; it gets old and boring every time, when he feels he has to lead everything. Sex on ‘their’ terms. Adding to this problem is that most older men don’t even take care of themselves, don’t work out, and have low sexual stamina in general due to that. Add older age to it and it’s a recipe for a lousy sex life, on his terms. Plus they don’t even look good to top it off.

    YOUNGER men want the pure sex and I can go near crazy with them- we go crazy together! I don’t have to play coy anymore and just be hungry. And they WANT me to take over and show them that I want them! It’s FANTASTIC! And needless to say younger men are physically active and take care of themselves, and they are proud of my accomplishments instead of jealous and spiteful, in my opinion.

    I’m in my 30′s, not my 40′s btw and very thin and fit. Why should I look forward to hitting the hay with some older guy with gray hair sticking up all over the place, flabby legs, and just doesn’t give a damn how he looks? So he has a little money. ANYBODY can earn a little money!! ANYBODY! Women can earn their own but many are too lazy for that, so they’ll sleep with old crabs to get a quick buck (on his terms).

    And P.S. Just because a man is younger doesn’t mean he can’t take care of you. There are younger men making money and looking good, too. No geezers for me; we are through! Bye!
