Younger or Older?

I've noticed something curious. Women tend to go for men who are the same age or older yet men seem to go for women who are the same age or younger.

I never understood this as I find it easier to relate to a woman who is a bit older than me. Perhaps I'm just wise beyond my years :P

However if I put a more broad age range on my profile I'd be afraid I'd look desperate or something and scare people off. Silly I know laugh

In truth I would have no problem (if the chemistry was right) dating a women up to ten years older than me. If we had stuff in common, there was an attraction there and we got on well then what else do you need really?

Thoughts people?

When I was younger I liked older guys! Now that I'm in my 40s I like them younger! But no more than 10 years younger. It's all about how good you look for your age! I've seen men my age who look older than my Dad and he is 66!
@Belle - Oh I know what you mean. There's women in their 30's who look better than girls my age.
dublin,
Its a strange thing. It seems that we woman have what I like to call an "expiration date" which states : "Best if used before age 40" dunno laugh

Stranger yet is the fact that though there are many beautiful 20 something year olds , there are also not so attractive younger women but I guess its a number thing...the problem is that numbers as well as people always change cool I guess some people have not thought that part of it through yet confused
@Lana - So basically age is just a number. I like that saying. Act your shoe size not your age haha. Your as old as you feel blah blah blah. Anyone got any others?
tell 'em dublin dweeb... tell 'em ... I've been trying to get this across for ages .... some support is veryyy welcome!

Anytime 10k! Women who are older then me are more grounded, easy going and generally look after their appearance.
I am attracted to older heavyset women.
I like younger men...10 years or sokiss
I'm with you Belle. When I was younger I liked them my age or older. Now I like them younger than me. wow wow wow smitten I'd go 5-10 years, not sure about more than that. I asked someone who was 13 years younger than me what he thought about the age difference. He just said 'what are you gonna have a heart attack when you kiss me?" lol! Can't help what you're attracted to. But I'd still date someone a little older if the chemistry was right.
Personally I prefer older women and I think there are a lot more beautiful women that are older than me than there are younger. Besides, they have alot more life experience for the most part and I can relate better to them because with a few exceptions they know what they want and are ready to have it, unlike some younger women who just want to have fun
laugh i had to check your profile to know how old are you.

Gosssh... well... When I was younger -20ies- I like men on my age. But now... hmmm max.5 younger and 10 older. How greedy I am..
laugh
It is all about biology. Older women are not capable (in general) to get pregnant, while older men can make a woman pregnant. People usually don't have this fact in mind when choosing a partner, but... nature has its laws and people mostly behave in accordance with them.
dublin, actually few peeps care what u put there in ur profile.
mine says 25-30, but very few man who ever mailed me meet that criteria. so u can even put there 999 and anyways if sumbd likes ya they will connect ya.
about older or younger. why this comparison? there is a certain age that all of us like...blushing laugh and if u are under this age u like the olders....if u're over that - then vise versa...etc.
My ex boyfriend's prior girlfriend was 5 years younger than me and toward the end of our relationship he kept bringing up the topic of how she was "younger than me" and since he seemed so taken by her I decided to look her up on facebook just to see what this "goddess" must look likeroll eyes Well to my shock and surprise she was anything but attractive! Seriously...I litteraly had to laugh out loud when I saw her pic and thought to myself "Is he kidding?? If he is that stupid her can have her"rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing wave
@vyoleta Good point.

Me, I just want a relationship with a woman.

Age really doesn't matter!!!! that dsnt mean i am interested in54 yrs old guy!!! chemistry!! doesyay yay yay yay
to wanting a mature woman you ....
normally this is not correct.
why?
what is the reason?
should be no anomaly.
as the youth is nothing.
Also this woman who wants a young man, normally
should
To appreciate this favor.
which is not done.
sometimes I too mature women.
and yes I had.
if you live a lot with it though
then do not want.
why?
many reasons.
The most important reason to say no ..
is that: a mature woman has lived her life ..
so what are you doing with this woman?
second reason ...
important and this ..
You do great psychic to this woman, who does not appreciate.
if this woman but appreciate, then stay.
I have nothing with the divine.
but...
from my own experience I tell NO.
+ To get the mindset of this woman ..
and one day you will say that I am? what? Why I don't have a new girl to do family? and the smile? :))))))
An obsessive research for a younger partner could represent an illusion

'I'm still staying young'

BTW a pure illusion. Chemistry works better.
I find I get messaged by a lot of older guys (I am talking early 40's to late 60's) and although also get some messages from guys my age it seems to be that older men like much younger girls and younger guys like older women (from what I have read, correct me if I am wrong).

Personally I will date guys anywhere from 20 to 33 (I am almost 23). I will admit I prefer older guys, but in the big scheme of things as long as they fall in that age range personality and maturity play more of a role then a number does.
Personally I think age is just a number. If the attraction and the interest are there and the two people are really into each other who cares how old they are. Now in the same breath it does not matter as long as they are of legal age and of a certain maturity. I would atleast want the person I was with to know what some of the movies and songs of my generation were and not refer to them as classics like Pretty in Pink and the Breakfast Club which are now the classic 80's!!! But that is just me!
