The fad seems to be today for a lot of women to want boy toys.
Well I think this is totally nuts.

I have had mostly guys in their 30-50 and younger, email me.
They all "soo love" older women.
They can teach us. Oh really? well guys I am still learning myself.

What can you have in common with kids so young, you can't spent all your time in bed.
Besides If he could be my son, age wise, I could never go there.

I think they just love older women...some men are attracted to older women because life is less complicated that way.. little or no drama to deal with.

Actually, I am 50/50:

PRO:
Younger women are more into-
-Fun
-Kids
-Marriage

Older women are:
-More settled/know what they want out of life
-Are more likely actually 'want' a real relationship

Con:
Younger women are more into-
-Playing the field
-More concerned with their looks

Older women are:
-Going through menopause, which really mess things up a bit.

In my humble opinion, I am not sure where I "fit", not that young (no more babies!!!) sure as hell not old, but I will tell you that a # is just that, nothing more than a #. I am not saying that I relish the idea of the whole "cougar" thing, but if there was a man who happened to be younger than I, but we found a mutual attraction or whathaveyou, there is no way in hell that I would let numbers get in the way....who knows?
This is within reason and common sense of course. grin

Question for you young man. Which menopausal woman have you dated?
Not all women during that stages are a problem. Some women are quite relieved....i.e free from some problems they experience when they were younger... For most women it actually spell the word Freedom!

Hi Mychelle:

For younger men with older women - If we are indeed younger than the woman (you fill in the the number of years difference) we face a problem. I know many women are different, but menopause does bring on a few issues:

- lower desires, dryness, etc.
- thinning hair, etc.

Don't get me wrong. I like older women. They are different from younger ones, are more mature, understanding, and less caught up in the jet-set lifestyle.

I am only referring to women who fall around my age group. If the woman is, say 30, and the man is 25, I don't see a problem.

I have been really tossing this around all day and have decided that I have to go out on a limb here....JMHO, but why does alot seem to be so generalized, people painted with one brush so to speak? I wonder -Lonely1, you are aware that many women in their mid to late twenties can begin to experience perimenopause and all the symptoms you deem problamatic? Yet there are many women in their mie 40's to mid 50's who are very fertile, desirable etc. etc. - please stop with the generalizations, it can be a very "unflattering" game to play...Shall we? You are 48? according to your profile - uhm...should we discuss E.D. in men YOUR age, or thinning hair, or loss of muscle tone, or so on and so on? - No, because that would be generalizing. We are all individuals, depending upon our life styles, genetics, general health etc. etc....Oh, and did you not get the memo that 40 is the new 30? and so on and so on. and what goes with 40? We pretty well know what we want and what we don't, we have had enough practice to know what we are doing in all of life, we don't play the drama and head games etc. etc.
Don't take this personally, I just, quite frankly, was "rubbed the wrong way" by all of this, and had to post my opinion. roll eyes

Oh my gosh, what have I gotten myself into?

Yes, us men of our age have some of the the same problems that older women have. I have noticed a difference however - if truth be told - that men the same age of women looks much younger. Why?

Of course we are going to be dead before they are, so I was told. So if we choose a woman who is older than us by seven years, we will both die at the same time and no one would be left behind.

I know of several men who have out lived their wife. In my family my great grandfather out lived his first wife. He got married again, this time to an old girlfriend. He outlived her too. He than outlived world war II and a town wide cellibration was held for his 105th birthday.

My uncle is 85 and outlived his exwife. And he is more healthy and fit than many 10-15 years younger.

Like many said above every one is differant and we don't know how long we get to live.

You have got to be kidding! Men the same age as women looks younger? Some men doesn't look their age, just as some older women look far younger, say ten years younger than they really are. It goes with saying if a woman takes good care of herself . and don't get too stress out, she too will look rather young for her age. Now have you been stressing someone out?......lol

Younger, older, what's the difference. So long as you get along, like and respect each other what does it really matter.

Since when don't you learn something from your partner irrespective of age. If you stop learning from and about each other, you may have a problem anyway.

I've found for some reason I relate to women older than myself better than I do to women closer to my own age or younger, but not always. I have met a few younger women that are quite interesting as well. grin

In the end, who cares, so long as you're comfortable with whatever it is you're doing. head banger

Is she going to die from stress or what? The relationship seems doom from the start.
