Since I am a kid at heart and 52 yrs old, I have a problem dating women near my age because MOST are either out of shape or act like a MOTHER (Clearly there are exceptions, I just haven't been that lucky). So I am trying to understand what the issue is dating younger women.
Being 70 I must say that young for me would be 60 with a dash of hope maybe a 50 year old woman. So, clearly, I do not see any problem in dating a younger woman. What may be the obstacle is that you will have to find a woman that feels the same way. What matters here is what you want to do and you don't need my permission. So ask a young woman out. She may surprise you.

if you don't have a problem with choosing younger women and it's your preference for the reasons you give... then what's the problem do you care about what other people think of you for your preference?

I've been using that excuse for years, lol, and dating younger men .. but I agree with you 100 percent, I mostly find the same thing with men my age.
Don't see any issues with a man dating younger women..do they have a name for that yet
Because apparently if a woman dates younger men she is a cougar ugh, gimme a break.
Live your life however you want, no one has any say in this except the fit, healthy younger woman you're planning to date next

Can you elaborate on your question as to what seems to be the problem?
If that's what you both{the younger woman and you} want,
It really does not matter when a woman is 20 and man 40. But thinking about future... When she will be 50, he will be 70... I really didn't met a man who is sporty, and fit, and full of energy in his 70... And woman in 50 is starting to bloom again, when she's finally over child raising and self establishing problems. The age gap should not be bigger than 15 years I think... For both men and women. I don't see anything wrong when a man is younger than woman also.
I dont see anything wrong with age difference if you're happy with a person whats the problem? Having said that my preference is for guys my own age. Their kids are grown up, financially secure and hopefully past te point of trying to impress his peers.
Am not going to date you,though i approve to date my son,he is 3 years older than you.

Stick to exceptions,and if they want to MOTHER you, simply tell them,dont need a mother,i need a g/f. I have dated women half my age,and am 16 years older than you.- I think you are unlucky or your style not right.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but most young woman who date older men, want their money, status, or just some other things he has. Really sorry about this, but it's true. Very few women really like to date 20 or more years older men. I don't deny that most older men are wise, and more likely to be real gentleman, and they know many interesting stories to tell, many places to show. But those who try to act if they are still young and energetic as boys are so not good looking. You should have this in mind and concentrate not on your youthful appearance and behavior (because you will never look younger than young men:)) but on positive things that come with age: wisdom, patience, intelligence and etc. And date women who are capable to value these features. There are plenty of them. But if woman likes older men, she likes not that youthfulness you are trying to show...

I am 52 and my wife is 44 I think....I know ,Iknow she is a bit old for me ...but I still love her all the same....
i'll date you, i'm a year younger than you - i act like i'm at least 10 years younger, have the spirit of a 20 year old and boundless physical, creative and mental energy...
actually, i get a lot of attention from younger men in RL you may be too old for me!

I will start from top.-I know they after money and possessions,but i have dated younger women,for a good talk, dinner, etc without paying any money for their company,-Stateman...Never in my life have paid money to sleep witn a woman. Don't try to give me a lesson, as am well aware of my age ,and i donnt act foolish despite my youthful appearance, i know very well that i cannt compete with men the age of my son or older. Patience for foolish people donnt have,but i think i have intelligence and wisdom. And lastly am not trying to show youthfulness,but a lot of my friends in the island where i live their age is between 30 to 50. I have a couple of friends my age,though i wonder why younger people they consider it important to be my friends???.-

opentuit: My ex husband is 17 years older than I.... and I say this:
The age difference that didn't matter when I was in my twenties began to really matter later on.
That is true..I think that once the age difference reaches a spand such at 10-20 yrs..things tend to fall apart later. My moms husband is 23 yrs her senior..it was great when she was 40 and him 63 but now she's 58 and he's 81..not good. He has dimensia and has had several strokes..hard to see her hurt for him..and it's frustrating for her..no matter how much she loves him she is frustrated at his forgetfullness..and he sleeps alot so they don't have much of a social life. Things to consider when you date someone older..time catches up.

Until my marriage ended in 2004, I had NEVER dated anyone younger than I was. I had always been interested in older men. My marriage cured me.
Seriously though, now I feel strongly about only dating men within 7 or 8 years of my own age in either direction... preferably even less.

Born 1963-1969???
Haha! For the last year I only dated men 5-7 yrs younger then myself..fun but man..the drama!! Then they want babies..say they don't but then BAM!! they start talking kids..one even tried to get me pregnant..long story..I think age isn't a thing for me..right now..all I ask is for love, support and the ability to get it up..
chris27292729: If this the case,why then you courting me.
what??? If I talk to someone, that does not mean I am courting him/her :) That's ridiculous.
And words about youthful behavior were written for author of poll.
About young people wanting to be your friends. That is so greek. I spent two summers in Greek islands (Rhodes, Symi and Halki). I was also very friendly with a man who was almost 70 I think. He was wise, he was full of love to his island, to Greece, and life in general. He traveled a lot in his life, he lived in US for long time, he returned to Greece leaving prosperous life, and began everything from scratch. Of course you want to be friends with a man like this. And all islanders were his friends. Everyone liked him. And if you also know how greeks respect older people. But I never even thought about him like a man whom I could date. He was 15 years older than my father :)) How could I?

davpk10: I am 52 and my wife is 44 I think....I know ,Iknow she is a bit old for me ...but I still love her all the same....
To davpk10, just want to verify whose older???????. You and your wife????? but it contradicts your words"but i still love her the same". Isn't that your wife's has to say that to you? cuz she's younger than you are. Here's to older men and women. We age differently, and act differently. It's one of us has our own uniqueness and style. Some older men i find it vibrant on thier 50's and 60's but i don't go further. VIO is right!!!!. No perfume/cologne that can musks older people smell he! he! he! cuz i worked with the elderly. Esp. if the have poor hygiene. But not only that, most young women are after with those material things such as money, power, good looks and etc. If you don't have that qualities, then you have a hard time getting a woman younger than you. Unlike an older woman can easily get younger men 10-15 yrs. younger than her if she don't look her age. Bec the fact that women outlive men. So, good luck to everyone whose looking for beauty instead of friendship.
What about this.... Both around 50 and married a couple decades, for a 50 year old man,his wife is older than his 39 years old secretery, who is trying to get him to bed,and surely she wiil.-
