I've noticed, and not just of late, that most guys profiles specify age ranges way younger than themselves. I saw one just now, he was 38, said age range 18-28. Another 38 wanted women 25-30.

Now, I dont wanna seem ageist or anything, but I just wonder what would a 25 year old have in common with a 38 year old?? I know tastes in music etc are not necessarily age-related but come on guys!!! Surely you are more likely to find common ground with a woman nearer your own age ?

I suspect that a 38 year old may have sown his wild oats and want to settle down and have kids, in which case he has better chance with younger women.... but a fifty-something, who wants a thirty-something ?? That's TWENTY years, for **** sake !

If women were to specify guys fifteen to twenty years younger than them, we would be villified, laughed at, scorned etc etc.... So what do all you guys and gals out there think ??

What does it matter? Do what's comfortable for you and don't worry about the rest.

My profile says 18-99. Does that make me a bad man?laugh I do prefer about 10 years either way, but there may be exceptions to that as well. wine

Curiously.... younger guys will want their own age or slightly older, but older guys want (for the most part) younger....

Yes, I agree, nature is wonderful. I also think that dating sites like this are wonderful as a means to meet prospective partners and as a means to make friends. However, I wonder if guys are restricting their chances by specifying much younger women....

I know that when I was 25, I wasn't interested in guys who were 38!! I'm thinking that perhaps guys are deluding themselves... and in the process, missing opportunities to meet with women nearer their own age, who would have more in common with them and be more likely to form long-term friendships/loving relationships with them.

It is nature, Older men having kids with younger women are responsible for the age we now live to nowadays according to recent research.

"It turns out that older men chasing younger women contributes to human longevity and the survival of the species, according to new findings by researchers at Stanford and the University of California-Santa Barbara.

Evolutionary theory says that individuals should die of old age when their reproductive lives are complete, generally by age 55 in humans, according to demographer Cedric Puleston, a doctoral candidate in biological sciences at Stanford. But the fatherhood of a small number of older men is enough to postpone the date with death because natural selection fights life-shortening mutations until the species is finished reproducing."



Who would have believed it?

I would imagine "wow, doesn't she look good" pretty normal and healthy I would think!

So do you find younger men attractive?

...............nah not looking for a younger woman.....but anytime I've went out with a girl she's always been younger.... apart from the the obvious attraction element for me ..... younger girls in general seem to be less anger with the world .. an for me a lot more fun ... but to be honest it's the person i go for an no the age......scold rolling on the floor laughing

Good point Harry......I think that men who only want to date much younger women should have a good look at themselves.....are they just desperately trying to hold onto their declining youth? I think so...they tend to be very self centred men who have to reassure themselves on a daily basis that they can still be appealing to younger women....from the young womans point of view its usually his money that does if for her....just look at Peter Stringfellow....can you imagine him working down the docks without the trappings of fame and fortune behind him.. Wonder who he would manage to pull then????? roll eyes
