Why do some girls like to date man 10 times older than them? Just a little curious and is it normal?
-
Age is a state of mind. Forget about ladies dating older man...some even prefer to date younger men.
-
i have dated guys my age and have dated guys older then me. I prefer older guy because they know how to treat a lady with RESPECT. :)
-
That is exactly it. I am with a man 13 years older than me, and it shows that he was raised in an age when his daddy talked to him about how to treat a lady. We have been together 10 years and he still shows me old fashioned chivalry daily. He loves to hand me the remote and take his turn in the kitchen, to just pick me up little gifts whenever he is out, whatever he can just to show me that he is thinking of me. Even after 10 years together, he still likes to hold hands in the stores...And this is NICE after I divorced a man who told me straight out I was his property and women didn't have voices and are just obedient - - but, whatever, that's over.
-
hmmmm maybe they're looking for afather figure.
-
That is so true age is only a number and you are only as old as you feel. I had an uncle that in his second marriage he married a woman twenty years younger than him and were the happiest couple you ever seen and their is a ten year difference in age with my grandparents.
-
It might be a father figure kind of thing. But there are men out there that like to date older women. And that seems to be an experience thing.
-
I completely agree.
-
I agree that age is just number , because if you have a positive attitude and take care of your body , you can look and feel younger than your age . Also you
can accomplish anything you want no matter what your age .
-
I'm voting for experience and maturity myself as well. My wife is five years older than me and the main reason I was attracted to her is that she was looking for an actual relationship. It just happened to be in my case that the women I know around my age were all hopelessly immature and none of them were truly ready for a relationship. I think some people just happen to mature at different rates hence the attraction to younger and older mates. Just saying from my experience.
-
10 times older? I don't think anyone does that. My sister is dating someone 10 years older than she is. It is what it is - I didn't think much of it personally, so long as both people are of legal age.
-
I think some of use like older men cause they know how to treat a lady and have more respect for u then younger man/me personally like the man to be i little older then me ;D
-
I hope age is just a number because my number is pretty large!!
-
I just don't know what it is, but when they get up in age they get jealous of their younger wife. Accuse them of all kinds of things, because they are old and afraid. :peace:
-
:-XThey are looking for money, shugadaddys, :heart:golddiggers, father figure, codependent relationship.......
-
You got that right!
-
I'm 25 and I prefer to date older women because women around my age seems to be all about going to bars and 420 friendly. It also seems like the world is just fine with younger women dating older men but, they think its wrong for a older woman and younger man to be together. I don't see anything wrong with it as long as the younger person is a legal age of course.
-
Most young men have their own interests in mind like life with their buddies, out partying or any sports or other activities. As men age they move away from that lifestyle and direct their attention to a commited relationship.

Age is just a number!!! I think when you find someone that really connects with you, age can be an issue, but if you truly connect with someone, age just shouldn't matter. You might not ever find another like that in your lifetime! Go with it!
-
I agree that age is just a number in relationships, but when I wake up with all the usual and new aches and pains every morning, then age is definitely more than just a number!!!! ;D

I know what you mean. I'm 57 and some days I feel more like 97.
-
From my view point some woman like older men because they are usually ready to settle down and men our own age seem to want to start family later in life,But that is not all cases I am 3 years older than my husband, but my mother ane her husband are 8 years apart (mom being the oldest, same goes for him his wife in 8years younger.
-
Whahaha, "Hudsonmike09"....we speak the same language....I'm 58 :thumbsup:
-
My guess is that respect for others is less about age and more about good parental training.
-
Older men in "general" are more mature than their younger male counter parts. More mature emotional, psychology, and hopefully financially. Women tend to have more respect for these men, and they usually know how to treat a woman better.
-
I am 24 and my husband is 61. not sure how things happened but we ended up hanging out and fell in love. love doesnt know numbers
-
its more about the person and not their age. men will be men. if they like to cheat then that's what they will do regardless of their age. Its all about finding that one that is the best fit for you. If he happens to be 20 years older than you then so be it.
-
I don't know now that I am in my 50's everybody looks so old. Seems if I dated someone in their 60's it would make me feel even older. When I was younger I liked older men just because they seemed a bit more mature.
-
Depends on the situation, really. You've got some women who have father issues who date older men, and then you've just mature women who are looking for something more serious so they go with someone older and mature.
-
I agree that age is nothing but a number. You have to do what makes you happy and just go with it.
-
I agree, age is just a number! I like guys that are older and younger than me and some that are my age. I guess it's different qualities they each have that is attractive. I don't know...
-
I believe girls look for guys that are resposible and reliable. Most young guys work til they get a paycheck and then party til it's gone.

I was married to a man who was 9 years older then me. He treated me like i belonged to him and it was to be do as i say not as i do, and only when he said too. Put up with it for 15 years and said by. Am married to one now who's 4 years younger have been now for almost 20 years. He is a great man. My family really like him. But before i would date him i had him investagated. Now adays who know.

I always thought it was a 3 letter word.

Thanks for the feedback I was just looking to see if I was normal lol, in high school I wouldn't date anyone older then me because I always thought it was like dating my father or grandfather but over the years some of the younger ones I have been with are still little kids so I thought I was crazy when I feel for someone who happens to be older then me.

Most young men have their own interests in mind like life with their buddies, out partying or any sports or other activities. As men age they move away from that lifestyle and direct their attention to a commited relationship.
'Many young women havetheir own self-centered interests in mind, such as gossiping with their female buddies and gold-digging ploys. Before these young women age too rapidly, they will sometimes direct their attention to acquiring the financial security of older men while pursuing younger, poorer men for other interests.'
-
I feel that age is just a number ... when the chemistry is there ... it's just right.
My significant other is 14 years younger than me but we just clicked from the moment we met.

I am 26 years old. I dated guys the same age as myself and even married one. But I woke up and realized one day that I was not being treated right. I was being cheated on and left at home alone all day with no transportation most of the time. When I realized that this is how it was with all of my previous relationships, when I got my divorce I promised myself I wouldn't go back down that road again. I started dating older men, one because they are more mature and I believed that they would treat me better. So far I was right! I am married again now for 6 years and counting! He has never did me wrong. Now I am not saying that all men the same age as me are terrible, but where I live most are not so great either. I believe that you have to do what makes you happy and not worry about what others think. Age is a number, however my own opinion for myself I wouldn't be with someone old enough to be my father. I just couldn't but if that is what you prefer go for it and do what makes you happy!

i dont think age matters its hard to find good people anymore so if u find someone u love u better hold on to them no matter wat their age is
-
Age is a number. I know some women who date younger men. Why? They said because they are done with the older men using them and not wanting to settle down. They like the younger men for sex. All they are interested in now is a good time. Some women do date older men for their money are whatever else they can give them. Some men date younger women because they want someone to control. They feel they can boss them. Some men date older women because they want someone to take care of them. Every person ha their own personal reasons for whom they choose to be with. I feel age is not an important factor, but in reality, it is a factor.

it has been said that females mature faster than males when in actuality a lot of the youth look up to people who are mature or "older" than they are. In way dating someone more mature than you are gives you experience in dominating in future relationships.
