Age Difference
I was just watching a video clip off foxnews.com and an expert was giving reasons why men typically marry younger women and women typically marry older men.

because men my age are stupid and haven’t hit puberty yet.
Women mature earlier…so we don’t want to date younger men; they are already too stupid.
Kidding. My husband is a year younger….
I prefer women in their sexual prime.
Girls mature faster.
hotness.
money.
?
It’s tighter and more perky, you naive imbeciles.
Men and women desire different qualities in their relationships. While men give heavy consideration to physical qualities (those more easily had with younger women), women desire financial success and stability (those more easily had with older men).
Huginn has the right idea…but the second time around I did the opposite.
What Huginn said. I think that has been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

I can think few random things that came top of my head.. Some older man marry younger woman to feel young that they haven’t lost their youth. Or cuz the older woman knows he isn’t all “that” easy to pull wool over younger naive eyes.. Some women married older man for “father” figure.. As some like to go with men who have more experience in life that they don’t have to put up with some immature guys who is their age.. Older men do have money and more willing to take the younger woman out.. Not too selfish, cuz they got older and bit wiser from learning their mistakes.. Some older men are more settle down than the younger ones..
I’m a woman, and I think I like younger men…Demi Moore is my Idol!
I don’t know. I married a younger man.
Men are trying to prove to the world that they aren’t in fact aging or losing their youth but could still make sexy time with a perky-chest toned 20-something.
And women just don’t have that much of an ego … or testicles.
women like to be taken care of.
Perky?
i would never date a younger guy, i dunno, it just feels wrong. i guess i like more maturity, cause i feel like im mature for my age. currently im dating a guy 2 years older than me, i like the age gap. not saying all young guys are immature, and all older guys are mature of course. i feel like he has more knowledge and experience about things to be able to lead the relationship,
Because women mature faster, and they want men who know how to look after them. Of course it’s not always the case. After you reach a certain age it doesn’t really matter. I’ve always liked guys that are older than myself.
I can’t really speak from the male side of things, though. But I’m sure I have a pretty good idea of why they prefer younger women…Of course, it’s not the same for everyone. My brother has gone out with women up to 7 years older than himself.
Older men have had more time to be sucessful, and men like the physical qualities then woman have when their younger.
Tits, Nathan! TITS.
Oh, I was thinking about a perky pussy for some reason. That could be a sitcom on Lifetime.
Older men are hot.
Perky Pussy: The Post-Abortion Adventures Of Little Tina.
Don’t forget her pesky neighbor Mrs. Creationist. They fight all the time, but deep down inside they love each other.
LMAO @ Drakonskyr…
I prefer my men younger. More stamina and they are not so flippin’ needy.
because its been proven that men that are the same age as women are less mature than their women counterpart. =). so if women marry older men. the maturity levels even out.
Because it’s always been like that, ever since the begining of marriage. Girls get married off to make babies the second they get their period.
Because older men actually have a chance of being mature… young, immature kids, on the other hand, just like to make references to body parts.
Case in point:
It’s tighter and more perky, you naive imbeciles.

I don’t have a clue as to why ANY woman would want anything to do with men when there are people like drakonsky, thenegativegoats and that whole bunch of immature little boys. It is a good thing some women can see past such cowardly immaturity.
Hah, it’s funny, because my incredibly attractive, highly intelligent girlfriend is just amused by my lechery.
It’s good that father and daughter can, you know, get each other’s back in this, though. That’s just awesome.
I am in a minority then. I married a man 3 years younger than me! Our maturity levels just meshed. Interestingly enough, my parents followed the same pattern. My Mom was 3 years older than my Dad. hmmmmmmmmmmmm…
for women- we value maturity and stability that is usually lacking among younger men
for men- they value looks which tend to go south more swiftly on women as they age, also it’s easier to get a 20 something yearold prego than a 40 something yearold… back when I was in high school and we had to take sex ed, the teacher asked both the males and females if they planned on and wanted to have children in the future… about half the girls raised their hands, all but one or two guys raised theirs… ah, says something now don’t it?
“because the other way around i gross“
This is just a cultural thing IMO.
There have been, and in some locales still are, cultures that value age in women equally to or more than in men.
it’s all about maturity!
I actually prefer younger men, in general, although I am with a guy roughly my age…
i could never marry a younger man…i would never respect him. it would just be weird.
“Whatever gets you through the night” as John Lennon would say.
maturity level. i would date an older man simply because he has a little better chance at being at the same maturity level as me. i know older men like me because they think i am a good young fuck.
I am the wrong girl to ask. Danny is a little less than year older than me.
i dont think its because of that whole….”the older men are more mature”….i just think theyre better looking.
…and they usually tend to treat a girlie better because of the whole “i like young women” thing.
t.i.t.s.= Time In The Saddle [for all you cyclists out there]
Why are you asking us, aren’t you the one who watched the video? Is there going to be a quiz later?
P.S. we’re giving our kitty away this Sunday
Drakonskyr: I have not once seen your or your little childish group argue intelligently about ANYTHING. All I have ever seen any of you cowards do is cuss, call people names and act like a bunch of spoiled wrotten brats. Grow up and act like men, not little boys that have to cuss and call everyone names to make themselves seem important. Quit acting like cowards that hide behind your computer screens.
I wouldn’t know; I’m two years older than my hubby.
Younger men are immature, they don’t know what they want yet, they don’t want to settle down yet…
Older men know what they want, they have figured out what they want to do in their lives, they’re ready for more serious relationships, they’re more financially stable in order to get married, their values are more developed…
Younger women are less likely to already have children from another man, they’re more easy going, they’re more attractive…
Older women who are single are probably divorced or somehow damaged by previous relationships, they might have children already, if they don’t have children then they’re in a hurry because they’re getting too old, I think the older women get the pickier they become because they narrow down what they want more and more based on experience which they have more of…
OH YEAH, older guys are better in bed and have bigger muscles.
Older men are hot !
Cowards; that’s funny. I’ve never even commented you and you’ve blocked me and you make gratuitously presumptiohn statements about my intelligence. Strange that.
Stop hiding behind your comptuer screen, sir.
Don’t men mature slower tahn women?
Oh, and though I don’t think much of his taste in music, I must agree with Drakonskyr on this one. =D
older men marry younger women because they’re either in love or because older men being with younger women won’t make them feel like they’re from the stone age. i really don’t know about why younger women marry older men but i’m sure it’s about the maturity level or some sort of connection between the two. good question, sir!!
maturity
I make comments about your maturity, of which you have none. You and your group are spoiled rotten little kids. Grow up, get a job and treat people with respect. Why must you constanly berate women? Why do you constanly call people vulger names? Why can you not simply argue points without treating people like dirt? I don’t think you know how. Why do you have such hatred towards everyone? That is nothing but a sign of immaturity. Like I said, grow up. And yes, you are a coward. If you spoke to people like this in public you would be flat on your face because decent people do not put up with this garbage. You have to go online to spout your garbage. That is the sign of a coward. Face it little boy.
No…I’m like this the rest of the time too. The advantages of being in a liberal town with freedom of speech where most people just take to outrage. An advantage in my favor, given my antagonistic nature. And I have a job. Your ridiculous set of presumptions doesn’t do you any credit.
But I’ll let it go. It’s obvious we don’t exist in the same sort of mindset. That’s the best thing about the world; to each his own. No matter how retarded the other finds it.
I like older men.
Less immature.
<33
I am thankful we do not exist in the same mindset. I have respect for my fellow man. That is how I was brought up. You have respect for no one, including yourself.
The preferential difference between man and woman seems to be an emergent property of two related ideas:
1.) Nearly all women have hanging over their heads the high price of child-bearing and family raising. The whole enterprise carries a very heavy biological and personal investment and, historically, the serious risks of malnutrition or death in childbirth. Through biological evolution or the development of social thought, women have realized that the most prudent decision is to minimize the risks involved.
The most important traits in a man, then, would to ensure the welfare of the woman. Prehistorically and in early civlization, this means bigger and stronger (sane, stable) men. In present times, a security provider would mean a person with financial or personal success. More than anything else, time is a major factor in the development of security traits in men. Older men have time to develop physically. Older men tody have time to build up skill-sets for success financially.
2.) Most benificial, trait, I ‘reckon is genetic. Evolutionarily, it would make sense for women to have developed the tendency to seek the best man possible to pass on these traits to their kids. Older men fool this process by appearing, relative to the younger competition, more fit with desirable traits for boyfriend-hood and/or father-hood.
The flip-side of these points also apply to men. Younger women are more fertile and with better tools for child-birth and child-rearing. The trait to seek younger women, then, would be a behavior evolutionarily selected for. The relative lack of an investment and risk for men in fathering a child would also explain how many of us grew up to be jack-asses in relationships.This idea is fully illuminated biologically: Women have their total biological investment in a single monthly egg. Men, on the other hand, produce thousands or millions of sperms in the span of two or three days.
Drakonskyr said: “It’s tighter and more perky, you naive imbeciles.”
You are the one who is a naive imbecille, Drakonskyr. You evidently do not know enough about the female anatomy to understand that a woman’s vagina does not neccessarily get looser with age or even after having multiple children. This is especially true when she practices Kegal exercises to strengthen the PC muscles which helps with the sexual gratification for the woman and her male partner. A woman with strong PC muscles can give her man a very thorough massage during intercourse and they both could just simply be laying very still. Men can also do these Kegal exercises because the PC muscle is also found in males as well as females. In males strengthening the PC muscle helps prevent premature ejaculation and can even help achieve multiple orgasms.
Great, now I’m considered a groupie.
Valk. Don’t be so testy. It was a joke entirely based around the older male preconception. I was mocking the ignorant.
But it’s okay. I guess meta-referencial humors just a bit beyond you.
I’d rather have an older man because most, not all but most men my age and younger act like pompous know it all jack asses who do not know how to treat a woman other than a sex toy to be used for their own sexual gratification. Most, not all, but most older men have already sowed their “wild oats” and have already learned through trial and error how to treat a woman properly. Older men make better lovers.
my husband is 15 years older than i am.
i don’t think men mature at the same rate as women. so an older man = a better fit.
No, TheNagativeGoats, you are simply an immature little boy like Drakonsyr. One day all of your little group will be forced to grow up. But for now, you simply go on spouting off hateful, immature remarks. The entire group of you need to grow up and join the real world. The world that has respect for his or her fellow man or woman. There is not one of you who has respect for women. Why? Why do you treat women so bad? There is only one reason. You are immature little boys that don’t know how to treat people any better. You are hypocrites and scoffers.
Drakonskyr, you just mock all those who are opposed to you and do not buy into your Xanga-godlike persona that you’ve created for yourself. You consider all those opposed to you as ignorant, which to me makes you the ignorant one.
Actually, I treat my girlfriend quite alright. But she’s an exclusion.
As for you, Valk, obviously your sense of humor died with your taste in music and left behind some nasty persecution complex, but that’s alright. I’m a forgiving, understanding soul.
TheNegativeGoats ”Great, now I’m considered a groupie.”
If you don’t want to be considered a “groupie” then maybe you need to reconsider your choice of avatars. Afterall it looks like a caricature of Drakonskyr. But hey, to each their own. Oh well.
You’re right. Supporting my little brother and I while attending college because both my parents died in a car accident is a real sign of immaturity, jackass.
Hecalmsthestorm
I make comments about your [Drakonksyr's] maturity, of which you have none. You and your group are spoiled rotten little kids. Grow up, get a job and treat people with respect. Why must you constanly berate women? Why do you constanly call people vulger names?
You have to realize, that each one of us arrive onto Dan’s site for different reasons and for different purposes. I’m a nerdy hack who loves procrastinating his repsonsiblities, so I favor trying to enter academic debates with fellow posters. Drakonksyr likes having his fun his way. I personally draw the line at making unprovoked personal attacks, but most of the time, he doesn’t appear to do this (only making his points as direct answers to other posters, or expression of his personal ideas– as vulgar as they may be).
I love Dan’s laisse-faire treatment of his site. If you don’t like Drakonksyr, you’re more than welcomed to answer with the same vulgar speech and sarcasm that he uses. Free speech against free speech.
Like I said, grow up. And yes, you are a coward. If you spoke to people like this in public you would be flat on your face because decent people do not put up with this garbage. You have to go online to spout your garbage. That is the sign of a coward. Face it little boy.
Christopher Hitchens is one of the most annoying public figures I know. But he’s smart, and he’s right (and able to back it all up, if he’s put to it). Being an ass in the public sphere doesn’t mean one’s coward, or one’s stupid. He has his own motivations for behaving the way he is. I tried to censure one of his attacks on Creationists and Republicans (even though I’m a Evolutionists and Democrat myself) and he didn’t take it too seriously. At the point he hears and realizes our disapproval — let it go. No one is forcing you to pay any attention to him.
Free speech is one of our most beautiful liberties. As everything it has its drawbacks: The stupid, the inane, and the bad. Take the good with the bad, bud.
Also, don’t diss our entire generation!! One day, you’ll be relying on us for your social security check. =)
I don’t know the there is only one marriage in my family that way — we women were all the cradle robbers……lol
Drakonskyr said: “Actually, I treat my girlfriend quite alright. But she’s an exclusion. As for you, Valk, obviously your sense of humor died with your taste in music and left behind some nasty persecution complex, but that’s alright. I’m a forgiving, understanding soul.”
So the only female that Drakonskyr treats “quite alright” is his girlfriend. Is that before or after sex? And what about your mother? Does she not deserve to be treated with kindness and respect? Do you have any sisters? What about your coworkers? Any female coworkers? Do you go around work and act like a total jack ass towards all female co-workers? Or is it just online that you are like this… hiding behind the computer screen?
And what the fuck does my taste in music have to do with any fucking thing? Talk about lame come backs. And as for my sense of humor you sure as hell do not know me well enough to even begin to judge what my sense of humor is like. And as for you being an understanding and forgiving soul… if that’s so… show more of that side of yourself instead of this facade you put on.
Yes, you are immature. You treat people like dirt. Your comments are hateful. You have no respect for anyone. Supporting your brother and attending college is admirable but it does not make you mature. People deserve better than how you treat them. You are a very hateful person. Why? Why must you cuss people and treat them like dirt? Do you think you are so much better than them? We are all on this planet together. There is not one of us better than the other. Your life might be better if you would learn to respect your fellow man instead of calling him or her names. All that shows is a lack of immaturity. While I cannot agree with LadyValk in many ways she does not in any way deserve the garbage you dish out to her. What if the whole world treated your brother like dirt? You say you are supporting him so you must have some sort of compassion within you. Do you care for him? If everyone lashed out at him would you retaliate? We are all in this together but you treat everyone as enemies.
My half-sister’s an idiot who’s sleeping with a hippie, and my mother is completely insane.
You sure as hell don’t know me well enough to judge me, Valk. So really enjoy the subtle taste of hypocrisy right there.
TheNegativeGoats said: “You’re right. Supporting my little brother and I while attending college because both my parents died in a car accident is a real sign of immaturity, jackass.”
Whoa! If you are being for real here… wow… that’s very nobel of you. Kudos to you!
Women marry older men for stability- in theirselves, in finances, in their place in life, in their relationships, job, etc.
Men marry younger women for status (as accessories) and libido. I think.
LadyValkeryie
.. evidently do not know enough about the female anatomy to understand that a woman’s vagina does not neccessarily get looser with age or even after having multiple children. ..
Even though we both use norse screenames, I have to say that you’re wrong here. Unless you’ve found the fountain of youth, connective tissue have to loose their elasticity with age. Maybe we have different time-frames in mind, but I’m sure everyone would agree with my point taking into consideration spans of at least a decade.
huginn: the reason I call him and his group cowards is that they attack posts with cussing and hatred. I have never once seen this group of cowards combat anything with an intelligent discussion. All they do is cuss and ridicule. Just once I would love to see any of this group defend his or her position with facts.
Drakonskyr said: “My half-sister’s an idiot who’s sleeping with a hippie, and my mother is completely insane. You sure as hell don’t know me well enough to judge me, Valk. So really enjoy the subtle taste of hypocrisy right there.
You’d be surprised what empaths can feel about a person whether it’s face to face or online. As for your half-sister, she sleeps with a hippie and suddenly she doesn’t deserve respect as a female? And if your mother is truely insane… and believe me I know what a real, truely insane mother is because I fucking have one… then no she doesn’t deserve any fucking respect. And you know what? Yes, at times I am a hypocrit. But at least I can admit it… can you? How often can you admit your mistakes and wrongdoings? I do it all the time… it’s my way of becoming better than I was the day before. Try it sometime.
Because older men they’re sexier.
My little brother thinks you’re a fucking idiot, Hecalmsthestorm. Sorry for all that cussin’ and sassin’.
It’s a good thing I always check twice to make sure my comment makes perfect sense.
Yeah, you’ve proven to be real accurate with that “empath” shtick before.
And yes, my mother is completely batshit insane. We come from a long line of high-strung Jews, really, and she’s the most bent of the lot. But…you know, I don’t really feel like I’m big on discussing how fucked up my family is. Hell, my father’s a fuckin’ sociopath and my grandfather…hoo man. That’s a hole with no bottom.
Once again, TheNegativeGoats, you prove my point. Just cuss, slam and ignorant. GROW UP.
* act ignorant. You must be use to that by now.

I never said that a woman’s vaginal muscles never, ever lose their elasticity. Why don’t you re-read what I typed. I said does not neccessarily which means that it’s not always the case but sometimes it may be the case… and if you further read I said that this is especially true when the woman practices Kegal exercises… which means the chances of her vaginal muscles losing their elasticity are lessed, especially when she uses Kegal throughout her lifetime.

Okay. I thought you were grouping the entire anti-theist group together argumentatively. I identify with Drakonskyr’s anti-religious positions, I just favor the approach of seeking intellectual discourse while appealing to common ground.
So whatever became of your wife, Hecalmsthestorm?
My ex was older than I, and I’ve dated both older and younger.
My forever love is younger, and she is HOT, and she keeps asking me about what it was like to be chased by dinosaurs in my youth. So. Hmm.
I guess the simple and truthful answer is, older guys dig younger girls because they’re hot and fun and make them feel younger, and younger girls dig older guys because they’re handsome in a distinguished way (?) and are more worldly, more refined, and offer more security (?) … that’s my guess at least.
In my case, I think I just lucked out big time. If her love goggles ever fell off I’d be in trouble.
I am not grouping anyone. My problem is that there is a group of immature little boys who have no respect for anyone. If they do not believe in God or religion, fine. I can respect that. Why do they have to spout hatred, especially towards women? There is no call for that. They should be able to argure their point with intelligence, not hatred and cussing.
Any one can believe how ever they want. But why do people feel the need to cuss and belittle other people? If someone does not believe in God or anything else, fine. But don’t cuss at me and call me stupid names because I do.
i have no clue. i can’t someone to marry me. i can’t even get a date.
I actually have entirely rational, intelligent reasonings behind my anti-religious beliefs, but I really feel like cursing and starting trouble is way more fucking fun. And besides, given what Hecalmsthestorm and Shortythechildhead write routinely (the Bible having faster-than-light travel and evolution being the work of Satan), I’m not sure any sort of rational attempt at divulging opinions would get me anywhere except a whole bunch of scripture quoted at me, which is a rather ineffective measure of an argument.
So I don’t bother.
You know, it’s funny, the first time I read one of Hecalmsthestorm’s posts, I thought he was a master satiricist. I thought it was hysterical, honestly.
a) sex
b) money
Easy one.
I think it has to do with maturity. I usually go for older men, but that’s just because I get along with them better.
So whatever became of your wife, Hecalmsthestorm?

What in the world does that have to do with anything? Why, all of a sudden, do you act like you have any compassion towards anyone? Why do you want to bring my personal life into this? All this does is prove my point. You spew forth hate. IF you really are supporting your brother or anyone else then you should understand that we are all in this world together. We shouldn’t spew forth hate and bigotry. I truly pray that you and your group of “friends” could understand that.
sorry
maturity
Drakonskyr: You keep proving my point. Debate the facts. Come forth with inteligent arguements. Put aside all “the fun” for now and show the world your opinions and points have merit and inteligence behind them. You have nothing to lose but the world’s perception of your ignorance.
We all (me included) have to remember not to take things so seriously on this board… after all, it’s just a xanga.
But yes, some people on here really know how to push the old buttons. Sometimes I have to take a short break because people on here can get really ignorant sometimes.
Let’s all take a collective breath!
for everyone!
Actually, that does make me wonder. Are you serious, Hecalmsthestorm? Or are you just exaggerating your beliefs to make some sort of point about zealousness?
It’s on!
I would say it’s a maturity thing.. but I guess women are looking for more stability — something an older man could provide easier. Men are looking for someone attractive.
from my culture, it is almost assumed that older, richer men go for younger girls and vice versa. 23 yr olds date 22 yr olds, 43 yr olds date 22 yr olds. I am 25 and am considered old. Ekk, pressure from family…
The only point I am trying to make is about you and your little group. Grow up and treat people with respect. Is that so hard? Is there such a lack of respect for your fellow human beings?
not sure…I married a younger man…
God, where the hell is the Trun? This would have been perfect with her asinine opinion every two minutes.
it’s because the maturity level evens out.
p.s. thanks for announcing the baby!
She would have only gone off on entirely irrelevant and poorly typed insultingly misinformed tangents about our personal lives.
RYC: yes. very excited… especially when they’re paying me!!!!!!
and……
i like dragonskyr’s comments.
i don’t know why.
maturity?
possibly.

hmmmm….. I am the older woman and he is the younger man, so we don’t fit in either category
Being married to an older woman in my first marriage and a yunger one in my current marriage, I would have to say the difference lies in the fact that when we get older, we become comfortable. Comfortable in our habits, comfortable in our beliefs, comfortable even with who we are. We also have the need to feel needed. Older women are unfortunately the same in that regard, yet thir differences push men like myself aside. Making us feel less than useless attime and even going so far as to demean us by saying that our exuberant behavior is often inappropriate. My first marriage lasted 8 years and I tried verything I couldto hold it together. Guess what? It didn’t work! We had boh grown comfortable with who we were before we got married andweren’t going to sacrifice anything for compromise.
My current wife is young enough to be my daughter and yetshe has the patience and understanding to allow me to see through her eyes. She lets me know I am needed. She has married me for the security and love I can give her, never doubting that my boyish antics deliniate my committent and compassion to her.
is it the men doing it or the women? just curious
I have not seen the real answer yet, and I probably am not the one that should be saying it, but I will.
Men date younger women to make sure they have someone to take care of them when they get old and feeble.
Women date older men because the man will probably die and she can look for another man and possibly another estate. There! Does that address all the unspoken theories?
Basic rule – 20 up and 10 down (unless you get into the “danger zone” of under 18).
That is my crude thought for the night.
XANGA WARS!
No kidding! This seems to have brought out the worst in everyone. And Dan is probably fast asleep.
I am done with the little immature boys of Xanga. Go ahead and spout off your garbage for the rest of the night. One day you will be forced to grow up and join the rest of the world.
I really found this whole altercation as being rather dull.
Because men have a tendancy to care more about the physical. And younger women are more beautiful, by our cultures standards at least. Women, on the other hand, because they mature faster, look for maturity, life experience, and also wealth and safety/stability, which is easier to find with older men.
Older man don’t find women their age range as attractive as a young girl. Also they want to feel young again by being with someone younger. They want to feel appreciated. They also feel that at their age they won’t ever find a person who is interested in them and feel that the younger girl will be more vulnerable to marry them since younger girls tend to fantasize about marriage themselves.
Younger women feel that the older man has experience and is mature. I think girls who like older men are kind of dependent & childish and still want someone older to protect them. Older men tend to treat younger women with more respect than guys around the girl’s age range.
Yeah, Hecalmsthestorm is kind of one note and intensely focused on…really, not paying attention to what’s being said, but just overshooting the whole thing with no sense of humor.
But that’s his right. And we have to respect that.
Lists of comments such as this is why Xanga needs to have a more message-board feel to it. To encourage conversation! I make sure to supplement my daily Xanga with the forums at BT

Sounds good for a movie to me.

That would be pretty cool.
Guys want youthful looks, women want a kind of father figure in their relationship.
Younger women: tighter vaginae
Older women: saggier breasts
take your pick
I should have brought my raingear, there is some real mudslinging going on here. It seems many have gone way off topic, no wonder there are that many more comments than eProps. Or maybe we have not, as the answer I was planning on was maturity, or the lack of that many younger men have. They don’t really provide that safe and secure feeling that an older man with a stable job and paid-for house would. It’s also why it’s more comman for a wealthy woman to have a younger man than a poor one. Of course, this all has nothing to do with love, it’s more about the money. The larger the age-gap, the more it tends to be. Like the 20-something models that marry 90-something millionaires.

I married a man 60 years older than me so he will die when I am like 25-30 and then I will be rich and have a huge house! Just kidding! My husband is 3 years older and it is just because he was more mature than the guys my age.
NOSE!
Wow, someone’s not a Drakonskyr fan.
What gives? He’s ‘The Man’, and then some.
Oh, and he doesn’t just treat women with contempt and disrespect…he does it to men too.
Another one of his very fine qualities.
And now I want to go read TheNegativeGoats..he seems right up my alley also!
Sex, & Money respectively……….
Because it just turn out that way.
I’m laughing hysterically at all the testosterone being flung around. Come on, guys, you’re missing the point- Drakonskyr is simply a master of dark, abrasive humor. You letting him provoke you is proving his point.
You don’t have to agree with it to find it humorous.
I agree with the people saying that it’s because maturity levels even out.
OR, it can just be that men like to take advantage of younger women and women think it’s cool that they hooked an older guy.
OR, the girl can be a gold digger and the guy can be a sex fiend.
I don’t know…I’m a bit agist…I am more comfortable with people of the same/similar age being together.
I still like my movie idea over the XANGA WARS… BUM BUM BUM!
RYC: haha you butt
I don’t know, but it’s depressing. I’m 46, and I really don’t want to go out with a 60 year old. Ick.
women like older men
cause they just KNOW more
about life
and they feel protected and taken care of by the man
Younger women havent been as ravished n screwed up by other guys.
I have always felt older and more mature than even women my age. I have always been attractive to older men. I have found them more mature. However, I am discovering that this isn’t always true and men my age are finally at the point where they no longer act like children.
Younger women means beauty, youth, health. Older men means more money, can provide. According to anthropology that is.
Because women’s maturity level is equal to that of an older man. Usually older men have the same maturity as a woman younger than them
coz, guys my age are immature snobs.
older guys are more compassionate and they understand better.
I don’t know because I married a younger man.
Men are less mature at any given age is the reason that I have always heard. I think also its more socially acceptable.
because women are Exasperating Conniving bitches, and marry old men because they will die soon and they will get the money,
why do men?
because they want to feel young again,
and they want arm cand, and sex and young people.
etc.
the truth =)
well im my world any way.
or because women are more mature.
because…
One of the most important things for women in a realtionship is security and one of the most important things for men is sex. Therefore, a woman feels more secure (financially, and etc.) and the man gets a nice little sex toy.
it has zero to do with maturity and everything to do with lust. Men want younger women because they feel the younger girl is hotter….period.
The answer to this question is so obvious that I don’t feel like typing it out… or maybe it only is to me because I read so many advice columns. XD
cause nobody really wants love anymore. Guys are pigs((ya i’ll admit it)) and just want the girls body and woman just want an older more accomplished man’s money…..example hugh heffner((i didn’t spell that right did i?))
My fiance is a month younger than I.
I have no preference but in general… men who are younger than me RIGHT NOW are still quite immature and don’t have financial stability. I just got lucky.
If I were 40 and on the prowl… that would be a whole other story. I’d definitely be hunting out a younger guy at that point.
There’s no clear cut answer to this. You can’t say all younger girls marry older men for money and stability, and you can’t say all older men marry younger girls for arm candy, better sex or just because they have a better body. Sometimes two people can fall in LOVE and some people out there don’t care about the age difference. It would be rather ignorant to say there’s a clear cut answer.
Men dont mature as fast as women, and men can’t pull some of the crap they pull on women their age so they go for the younger ones.
Personally, I can not date a guy younger than me. go too young it’s illegal lol. The youngest I can go is 21, being that I am only 22. Some rare cases tht works. majority of the time no more than 7 to 8 years older than me. after you go too old it gets awkward.

Hey, aren’t older women attracted to younger men as well?
What about that one, Dan?
My forever love ran with the dinosaurs in his loincloth. I think most people have it pegged in why men want younger women. As to why women prefer an older man… there are men(y) ha ha reasons, but an older gentleman has learnt how to appreciate his woman and truly cherishes what he has. Men also mature better than women. Just look at Sean Connery! As to my love goggles……… Eat your heart out Sean!
I swear if you ask one more blunt fucking obvious question i’m going to send you an email virus.
Women are drawn to the security of a man who is more established. Men are drawn to younger women because they’re having to deal with wrinkles, weight, etc. less than women their own age.
I guess.
If anything, that just accounts for some cases.
My wife’s two years older than I am.
women mature younger.
“I swear if you ask one more blunt fucking obvious question i’m going to send you an email virus. ” – crykp
I second crykp…except for the email virus part.
I prefer men around my age, though rather older than younger. My general guidelines are no more than 1 year younger; no more than 3 years older. Why does the older side extend further? I feel as if I would have much more in common with a college student- even a junior or senior- than I do with a high school sophomore or junior.
Well i only like older boys. Guys my age are too immature.My bf is 3 years older then me and sadly im still more mature then him.how sad i know.
cuz it takes men so damn long to grow the fuck up
Women mature faster, so we look for more intellectual guys, usually meaning they’re older. And men…well, I guess younger women have the whole nice body/ good looks appeal.
Men go after younger women because old women are saggy and often lose their sex drive after menopause.
Older men are like wine. As they grow older, they become finer. Younger women see that and crave it.
Hahahah, DMV.
Social Stigma –
What’s so bad about that I married my huband and he’s now 45 and I’m 36
Age is just a number so shut up!
