'Men date younger women because they're afraid of getting old'

Hmmm, I guess that's one other reason! I thought the older more experienced woman would be less inhibited though and more comfortable in her own skin...

I think younger women experiment more and are willing to to do a lot of things some older women would think were no no's...

hi lila, i am always like your responses very much.they ar of good quality.friend,that i will agree with you that mans ar looking for experimenting then they will try younger one,becuase women always have experience so they are difiicult to handle as compared than to younger.the olders are demanding too,they looking fo something always.this may be the reason they will choose young and fresh woman or girl to use. happy mylotting

Interesting ladygator what is the age gap range? The article did not specify the age gap but the celeb couples they gave examples of had 10 years+ between them.. I wonder what Hugh Heffner would say about why he dates younger women. Hmmm, good one!

Hi ladygator, i should congratulate you having a mature and responsible husband, you're lucky coz you're husband is a brainy man who can handle and understand your need.. Wish you all the best and God Bless

Oh that is okay. And thank you for your point of view. In my reply, I did not generalize all. If you are 9 years younger than you husband then I am 20 years younger than mine. Before we got married, we waited 3 years and within that year we are ocean apart. He is here (USA) and I am in Philippines. To think, he could do things he wanted to because I am not on his side and same with mine. Maybe if you trust, respect and loyal to each other you know your limitations to remain with your relationships. And maybe it depends of the maturity of every old men when it comes to relationship with younger women. So far, with my husband I can really say that we are aware of each other wants and needs. His not the kind of guy who loves to flirt or stare to other woman. He said, he have done mistakes before and he doesn't want to do it again but rather than to try his best to do right things but we all know we are just person who makes mistakes and I agree to that. I thought our age gap would be difficult for us to manage our marriage life, but it is just getting better and better. Marrying him, makes me act more mature of things happening in my surroundings and of course of making decisions too...hehe.

Hi! sorry to say but i should disagree with you egarding that matter,my partner is older than me about 9 years, but we hardly understand each other, before i used to think the same way you think but my experience told me that i was wrong, Getting older man than your is not an assurance that they really show commitment with a relationship or in my part they handle more the relationship, maybe there are some who's already matured about relationship but there are also some who are not. In my field of work i have known different kind of man, and i noticed that most of them are bachelor, as i ask them why at thier age (30's) they are not yet married, they simply say, they still want to enjoy being bachelor and still they dont want any commitment. I should disagree also with you that when men say's life starts at 40's it means they will start to enjoy their life by hanging out with younger woman and some other things that they didn't do when they are at their younger age, It's not, my father give me his point of view and i have known also who think opposite they way almost interpret that saying, In mature man, when they say that it means they already tasted the real life here on earth and already learn from the lessons, they start to think the real world that we live in, that life isn't easy as we think. They are the one who fucos more on the welfare on their family. As my father says to me those men who think that being 40 is an age to begin enjoyment is a man who's still immature and irresponsible . Hope i did not get you offended, im just sharing another view

Congratulation that you find the perfect match for the life ! It is hard and is impossible for most people where they still searching for that. =) The appearance can always be improve regardless with younger or older person. Thus it is more for inner feel on accepting on the situation. Normally other factor is the one driving for the situation.

Crazy! There...did just that! NuclearRabbit, I think there's a lot of attractive older women; what would you say then for younger men dating older women? I think they find older women attractive.. or do they want a mother figure perhaps?! The article did not divulge much further than the above and would've been great to look at it from other angles too.. men who date older women and women who date younger men, would be great to hear the theories on those scenarios too

Very confused about the point in your comment.. Did I miss it somewhere?

Interesting input LittleMel Cheers for your honest response

Interesting comment! Yeah, I think the study generalised quite a bit as they generally do Cheers for the response

Keeping up can be an issue, which why the wiser of us older men only get involved with younger women who show maturity beyond their years, are intelligent, and who seem to have realistic expectations. But a party girl, well, no, I don't think so. The ones who go for the party girls probably are the ones who are trying to pretend to be younger than they are. Lash

Good Point..

Yeah, age doesn't really matter when it's about love.. Think the study holds some substance though it does generalise to some extent

It does apply in some context but not all.. Thanks for sharing

Hmmm, I doubt that second point very much..surely there's other reasons more than that Anchopy

What about those the same age as them?

Did you read the title or the whole discussionMaddie's mommy.. cute baby It is an article that I read, not my opinion...though it does hold some truth in it

Yes, there's always exceptions to the matter as studies and 'research' tend to generalise based on the small sample of people they took.
