For some reason yes! (only 22 myself though, not a guy either!) I just watched a show where they take ill-dressed women, usually alittle overweight but nothing serious and re-dress them to suit themselves, well the episode was based on women who had young men aged 20-ish, and the men weren't 'ugly' they were all attractive well fit men! I'd like to undertstand it from man's side as I don't think I could go out with a 50-60-40 year old guy.

I'm 44 and I have had younger men interested in me although I've never been involved with anyone significantly younger than me. A couple of my friends are in long term relationships with men who are much younger - at least ten years younger - and it seems to work ok.
I think the attraction may be that as a woman gets older she has more confidence, is more assertive, more independent and I think some younger men do find that attractive. However, I would say that for that kind of relationship to work the man also has to be secure in himself too.
I also think the reason some older men go after much younger women is because they find younger women easier to cope with. These are generalisations of course - there's exceptions to every rule - but I do think women get more "challenging" as they get older. I certainly have - I could scream when I think about some of the crap I put up with from men when I was younger!

I think ae is not the main factor in this case? it fully depends on the capability of the woman.can she make it or not with in a certain limit.
