It seem to be more accepted if men are older than the woman in a relationship, but it also seem to be common for younger men to be attracted to older women. Sometimes, much older. Why do you think there are so many young men attracted to women who are much older?

I think age is not a important criterion for having a relationship. All that matters is the love you have for the other person. If a young woman can be attracted to an older man, why not the other way round ??

I agree. Why not the other way around. But my question was about motive. Just curious about what the nature of the attraction is.

age is not important.i am only 17 years old and this has happened to me.i can say that it was only attraction nothing more than that.many young boys think that if they have relationship with older woman[5-8 years older than boy] they will have great fun and enjoyment as they are mature than them[ its not my opinion].and this is not done yet.many girls also think like that.so its upon particular person what he/she thinks whether to have relationship with older person than them or not.

I'd say it goes both ways. I've seen young women go with men who are 20+ years older than them. Maybe they like the stablity or are just attracted to them. If both people are happy and are together for the right reasons, I guess it's alright.
