Steevyv: That is simple. If a man can get younger why would he waste his precious time on older.
And why would any woman who could get younger (better looking and fitter) go for older? Works both ways. I suppose though that younger does not necessarily mean better looking and fitter. Think of George Clooney and Sharon Stone, then compare them with kids half their age on the streets, I know who I would prefer, think it boils down to looks. But then the men on these dating sites greatly outnumber the women - (does anyone know why?) and it has been said many times that men give up ever receiving replies from women. I think they should be realistic.

Maybe simple for you ? But why does young equal better ? Might just be good looking but dumb and inexperienced and since when is it a waste spending time with an older woman ? maybe she might not look as ' fresh faced ' but sure as hell she is often gonna be a lot more fun, easy going and mature . Frankly ( with exceptions at both ends of the age scale ) I find young means silly and old could be boring .. but its all down to the individual , isnt it ?

Now that is seriously shallow ..but whatever rocks your boat ! and I know your opinion is sadly shared by many other ladies who look for just the superficial make up of a man.
I have known a few hot babes in my time fine to go out with....but longer term, no way. Looks don't make a person .....character and personality does ! Most babes and studs are thick as a piece of 2x4
Perhaps, while you are deliberating your question, you may like to let me know why many women prefer to date younger men.
wonderwoman555: I receive a lot of messages from men much older than me, although I state my age preferences. If men are not getting many replies maybe they need to consider that most women in their early thirties do not want to date men in their 40's - most women find it creepy to be honest. My friend has just sent me this thread:
We are not living in the days when women need to marry any old man anymore, most women have their own jobs etc so we do not need to get hitched to a older man, but still I get messages from a man, say around 40 odd, who specifies he wants to date 30-40 women. And you can't tell me that just because he has been a commitment phobe all his life he suddenly wants a young woman to look after him when he hits 40 plus. Also, why do some men (and I guess some women ) on dating sites try to hook up with you if they are not even in your area, I means hundreds of miles away? I know all about scammers - but are these people for real? Or just wanting to skype all the time?

Age is just a number. I have had relationships with much younger and older woman. I know people who are 35 and they are old, and a 70 year old can be quite young.

lol they are just pushing their luck in hope of scoring,that is all,younger women equal fresher healthier more prestigious mate for them,I know where you are coming from and I find it equaly annoying when someone 10 years my senior thinks they are a good match for me,it is a little insulting..particularly when they look and remind me of my Father..
Long distance dating if you are free to relocate can work,specialy if you are not finding anyone local you can relate to,personaly I don't reply as I am not free to relocate,and find men in my area to talk to easy enough not to bother.
I have in the past,when a man 20 years my senior-(about 60),told me age is just a number and I should have an open mind and meet up,suggested that the women on here around 80 would be very happy that they feel that way,and wished them good luck. These men often become suddenly less open minded,I'm not sure why..

To me 50+ is ideal, but I think it's up to the individuals concerned.
Any younger they are just fliberty giberts, present company excepted <<-- to 50+ ers
If a man is around 40 + and he states on here that he looking to date a woman in her late 20's to only up to 40 (his age don't forget) let’s say his youngest target age is 29…which means he is looking for a woman 11 years younger than himself. Is he willing to date a woman 11 years older? If no, then men please don't don’t complain about younger women who aren’t willing to make the same compromise. Men are delusional. Older men (40+) are under the assumption that most women in their 20's and 30's desire an older man. Where they get this idea I don’t know??!! The media (most Hollywood films) can be a bad thing, as it gives a false idea of what is and isn’t available to men in reality. Also men often hit a wall when it comes to reaching 40, their looks go just as much as womens.
It seems an unfortunate fact of life that men in my age group, and older, seem to be looking for much younger women. For some reason I keep getting contacted by much younger men who are young enough to be my sons as they seem to think older women are desperate for the atention. One message last week said he's like to see me in thigh high leather boots and leather underwear - it's never going to happen but did make me laugh.
When i was a teen I watched a Sofia Loren movie on the box, she must have been in her late 20's or early 30's the moment she snogged a guy I thought what a revolting thought to kiss such an old bag. What I'm saying is that it's all relative, If I live to be 90 that doesn't mean I'm attracted to 85 year old women just coz they're the same age. A 30 year old stunner is just as appealing regardless of my being 32 or 92.It's also a mid life crisis thing where the younger the woman is, the younger the man feels....like I'm still up to it, but in truth women just become accessories to the guy.

Just look at men and womens profiles on any dating site. Men age discriminate in very high percentages. Their age or 15 years younger. Now look at the womens prefered age ranges. I think the raw age preference/range numbers speak for themselves.
Have been thinking alot ,,, the past hours to reply ...
But please ... what has a woman my age to offer me ???
That's my silly stupid question ..... to this ..
Have long thought about stop and look for anything ..... That I never will have.....
When is the time to stop ???? when is it the time to say, ohhh hello love wasn't ment to be ..... Friendship maybe ... yes ... but love ??? please come on.....
Feminism..... The modern society is inverting the roles between men and women.
Masculin hormons (don't ask which )are increasing by visual stimulation, because men were for many year hunters. So they "hunt" a younger girl. This is also because of the balance of strength. A older man is running slower than a younger girl...so they run with aprox same speed. In other words the woman keeps the speed of the man.
Was a need many , many years ago.
Today women are equal to men...in theory....of course have the same rights, is normal, and decent...but they are realy diferent.
If a woman is strong enough si can get a younger guy. But the younger guy will look always to a younger girl...biology and reflex. So now we have a competition between to girls...who wins?...believe that the strongest.
I think that biology will win always....of course begining with an age, biology is losing the strength, and culture, education, habits become more influent.
In this case...everything is possible , an 18 years old guy getting married with one 100 years old lady , or vice versa...but is natural?
So girls I respect human rights, but biology does not care about those....
You should take what I wrote more or less as joke containing some seed of truth.
