Would You Date An Older Woman?

Post Reply New Topic

hmm, i have a rule for myself, should be around my own age, +/- a year or two, so right now would be ranged around.... (im almost 21, so ill just use that as the centerpoint.)

19-23, or 20-22

Yes I would. I've actually joined a local group that has "cougar parties", though so far I haven't been to any where there were more that 4 or 5 people. I also find younger women closer to my own age attractive, but in a slightly different way.

Though I also wonder what my odds are at this point. I'm unemployed (between graduate school programs), am living in my parents' house for the time being, and of course I'm not socially the best either. For those reasons I think someone close to college age may be able to relate better.

My main focus is finding someone with the same interests and beliefs. I try to look for people close to my age, but if I can't, I would be open to bigger age differences.

I'm 39 and my wife just turned 50 in March. We've been married since September 2008. We met playing WoW (World of Warcraft) and the relationship just evolved from there. I hadn't really considered if I would have dated someone 11 years older until we had gotten to know each other.

Being as that she is from Columbus, Ohio, USA (where we now live together) and I am from Calgary, Alberta, Canada we couldn't meet in person for several months of first meeting in the game. After talking a lot online, then on the phone, then on Skype we decided to meet face to face.

After her going to Calgary, then me vacationing in Columbus we decided to give things a try.

Sometimes it's a bit trying because I feel she doesn't respect my life experience and opinion, but she's also a first born and a bit bossy too. She is incredibly supportive of me as well though. We're learning to deal with each other, it's only been 8 months since we started living together.

I don't mean to offend anyone here. I imagine that many (not all) guys think that older women are to be avoided because they don't look good naked or other such reasons. I can't speak for many women, but my wife is still damn fine looking with clothes and without. She is getting gray hair, and she's a bit self conscious about it (especially standing next to me).

I might not have dated an older woman except that circumstances came about in which I got to know one first.

In any case it's a personal choice.

Sure, I've liked women in their 30s before.

Now I wouldn't date an old wrinkly woman with grey hair... but <40 is ok.

I am 21 btw

Actually I agree - the less than 40 thing is just general really. I mean if I thought she was hot then I wouldn't care how old she was - I wouldn't just think "s**t, I like her, but she's 42 so no way"

I doubt many women over 25 would be interested in me anyway tbh - I am not very independent and look pretty young for my age

EDIT: I should add, not many women under 25 are interested in my either

I think they're hiding
