Do any men like older women?

Do any men like older women? All men I meet, seem to prefer younger women. Fact is, I look 10 yrs younger and I'm cute. So when I'm out with younger guys, they think I'm younger than they are. Usually, I don't mention my age for awhile if I'm interested because it sometimes scares them off. I would think that a mature guy wouldn't care about age. I do like guys my own age too that are in they're late 30's early 40's. But again, they seem to prefer younger women.

Most do; I think it reflects their fear of getting older and also their need to feel that they are still attractive. And who cares if an older woman is attracted to ya, eh? It's the young ones who count.
Not all men prefer younger women. I am 50 and dating a significantly younger man. So, keep looking.

I would prefer an older woman actually, but at my age, I'd probably be considered too young for most. I'm not a big fan of 90% of what goes on in college, and would want someone who's past all that.

Older women that workout regularly, have firm fit bodies, interesting lives, fun, giving and are good in bed: Yes.

Older women that never workout, are overweight, flabby, boring, have anger issues, are self centered and horrible in bed: No.

I dated a woman that looked great. I thought she was in her early 40's, although she looked a little older. When she told me she was 50 it hit me like a truck. I'm 42. I really loved her, still do to this day, but we split because she was into too many games. Too much baggage I guess. I did find her attractive, but I started to compare her to younger women subconciously.

To answer your question, their is a fascination with older women, but it's more curiosity than anything else for younger men. Men prefer soft smooth skin and a firm, non-muscular body. We are genetically programmed for that. That's why when the wife hits 40 and begins to sag, men start looking at younger women. It really doesn't have to do with the man's middle age syndrome.

It may not be what you want to hear, but it's a man's perspective
