I never had a relationship, but I noticed that I feel attracted to older men. I was never really attracted to anyone of my age, the closest I've come was a guy maybe 5 years older, but usually I'm into 30-50 yo men. Which was a problem when I was still underage. :wink:

I think it's because young men tend to be more extrovert, loud and immature.

I'm into women - hope I can still post.

I like my partners much older, too. Always have. Had a huge crush on my math teacher when I was 13 (she was 32), have been with partners who were respectively 11, 19, 21, 2 times 14 and 17 years older than me.

Always felt more comfortable around adults, and I think them hugely attractive, too. I'm weird that way, I guess.

I like to talk to old men at parties and events because they are interesting, but I like being married to a man my own age. I want to feel superior to him sometimes, and I think it would be a lot harder to feel that way when a guy has a lot more life experience than I have--moreso it would be likely that an older man simply would not acknowledge any points in which I am superior. Age doesn't necessarily mean one is superior to a young person in every way, but it still can be difficult to prove that point. I like being equals.

Oh, and I also have the best of both worlds. At my wedding, some of my relatives thought my husband was in his late 30s.

I like older men just for friends. I enjoy their maturity and wisdom. They don't usually turn me on, though. Since I'm 40 now, the much older men group are generally not too sexy any more. :D

Absolutely. My husband is still not the age I would like him to be.

Ever since I was 12 I have preferred guys over the age of 40, even into their 50s. I obviously never did anything at that age! But I knew then that it was my preference and still is. I've never actually been with anyone who wasn't close to my ago though.

I interact better with older people. My friend (who is a woman, and I'm not gay) is old enough to be my mom. I haven't dated or had a boyfriend yet, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if my first one turns out to be significantly older than me.

I've never been attracted to older men.
I wish I were though, because being younger itself is an advantage.
Men are willing to overlook your flaws If you are significantly younger than them.

I have always been more interested in older men. I think it is because I didn't have any friends my age in school and gravitated more towards hanging out with teachers. one of my first major crushes was on my 27 year old history teacher when I was 12. that lasted for several years. I tried going out with boys who were closer to my age but found them immature and not interested enough in important things. now I am 18 and my boyfriend is 33. he acts more like he is in his 20s most of the time though

I'm not massively into middle aged men, due to a lot of experience of them perving on my when I was a teenager. I remember my dad going through a bad mid-life crisis.

I can find men in their 60s and 70s attractive, but that's obviously too much of an age gap and they would be even older than my dad. The men know this themselves, since I don't hang out with rockstars and strip club owners. :wink:

Men in their 30s are not much older than me, so I don't really even think of them as 'older men'.

I am more attracted to younger men than I used to be, but that's probably because I'm getting older and 'younger men' are in their early 20s.

I've dated a couple older men and I came to the conclusion that I wasn't interested and attracted. There at a different stage in there life there can be rather an imbalance. I think me being in a relationship with an older guy would resemble sorta an adult/child-like relationship. I'd end up the child and he'd end up taking care of me. But that can only last for so long cause I'm ambitious, argumentative and still rapidly changing so it wouldnt work out.

Same here. I don't think I'd like that.

Plus its not true to say that older men don't care about looks - quite a few of them are looking for "trophies" to spend their money on and some of the worst and most disrespectful comments I've had on online dating sites have been from men over 10 years older than me.

It really depends on the individuals - you get good folk and bad folk across all age groups.

I say if you like older guys then go for it. Don't be worried about other people's judgments - its about what works for you.
