Have any of you dated or gone through a phase of dating younger men?

Unfortunate for me, I have not ran into this situation. LOL

I'm 43 and one thing I have found is that men my age or older are looking for the 20-30 women. I've often wondered if it's because when most women are in their 40's their still more than likely raising children and don't have as much time and energy for these 40-50 men that are going through their mid-life crisis and they want someone that can keep up with them and lavish all kinds of attention on them. With this in mind, most late 30 to early 40's women are more sexually and socially experienced so maybe that's why the younger guys are drawn to them. They know that having a serious relationship is totally out of the question with older women.

Very unfortunate for the men my age that they don't realize this. I definitely don't want another kid to raise.

I have dated a few younger guys. Age is not so important as to their situation and where they are in life. The thing I didn't like with most of them is that they weren't very settled in their jobs and careers - and my situation sort of requires that - I don't want to move - or date someone who works a LOT of hours or who wants to launch a risky business.

Ahhhh... younger men. I love em!! But i say this all the time...lol...

Yes, i've had younger men lie to me about their age too.. which IS funny because we are the ones who normally lie, right.. I had a 24 year old try to tell me he was 32.... Apparently, i gave him a look that says "tell the truth, now." I have found, after being single for a year, age doesn't matter. If i feel a connection or attraction, it doesn't matter to me.

The only time i date guys my age or older is when i meet them online....

I think sex is a factor in why younger men like older women.. But there are many other reasons too.. older woman are confident and less girlie... I think that is attractive to younger men. Older woman are less dramatic and less clingy.. We have soo much other responsibilities and interests than just trying to say "yes" to whatever he thinks.

And if older men want younger women, then they can have em.. I'm happy with my younger men!!!!

Oh, and my friend Summer is 42... and before she settled with a boyfriend, she was dating men 1/2 her age... so i thought more power to her.
