Contacting younger guys
| Sun, 06-26-2005 - 9:45am |
I'm 30 and I've seen guys on dating sites that are younger than me, 25 or so. I wonder if there are many guys that age interested in someone my age. Do any of you contact guys who are that much younger? If so, do any of them get back to you?

I'm 40 and prefer to date guys 34-40, although I will go up to 43 or 44 if they really appeal to me.
Going 5 years younger has never presented a problem for me.
I'm open to dating men up to 10 years younger than I am, but I won't contact a younger man(or any man for that matter) unless his indicated age range shows that he's open to meeting someone who is my age, or at most cuts off a year or two below me.
And yes, I've heard back from, met and dated younger men.

I'm 50, and typically I don't date men younger than 45 or older than 57, that was up until about 6 weeks ago. Up until then I had never contacted anyone out of my age range. That was until I saw my 39 year old Tattoo man, he browsed my profile, in return I browsed his and found him to be interesting and he certainly looked like my type, so I threw caution to the wind and sent him a wink. Within an hour he emailed me and said that he would have winked but since he was under my age range he didn't think I would respond. We talked on the phone that night and met the next day and we've been seeing each other since. We've not had the exclusive talk and both still have our profiles up and I'm still meeting other people because I'm not sure there is LTR potential there. But, I can't speak for him because he'll go for days without being on the site and he usually contacts me 2-3 times a day. But my guess is he's not by the way he teases me if he calls and doesn't find me at home in the evening.
To be honest I've never thought about the age difference with him because I enjoy his company and that's all that matters. I broke my rules and am really glad I did because I now feel like there are more opportunities out there for me since I'm now open to dating in a larger age group.
Hi Kathy,
I usually date guys younger than my age. I'm 45 and they have been mostly 37 and 38. Some I have contacted (if it shows my age in their profile) and some have contacted me. My last bf was 37, but he ended up having committment issues, but that was his own issue not just his age, I feel. I have dated guys my age, but they don't seem to want to do much but stay home, which is fine sometimes but not all the time! So I guess I like the energy of the younger guys and that they like to do things. The 20 somethings contact me a lot, but I just delete them because they just want to say they've been with an older lady - not much in common there! I'm looking for the LTR with the right guy, not just the casual stuff.
