Dating Advice for Men: Why Some Women Like 'Em Younger
By D.M. Giolitto

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Your old high school English teacher and... your best buddy?! Hey, it could happen. These days, if an older woman wants a baby, she can have one.

There will always be the Traditional Tina, scoping out an older fella who’s "on her maturity level" as she likes to think- and who's willing to play provider. But what of the ever-growing population of footloose women with their crazy cradle-robbing ways? Is this another Maggie May, who, as Rod Stewart tells it, will "wreck your bed, and in the morning kick you in the head?" Or is she some lonely desperado, hoping to latch on to a kinder, gentler generation of men? Here are some insights as to why some women prefer to date younger guys.

Not every girl wants a father figure. Often, a man who’s older than you assumes a protective and paternal role; and to many women, this is a real turn-off. Why? Well, for starters, we already have a daddy! Not to mention, the woman who holds a high-paying exec job Monday through Friday may have some trouble playing Helpless Heather on the weekends. She's used to taking care of herself, speaking on her own behalf, and yes, even paying her own way without the help of Daddy Warbucks.

Younger men are often better in bed. Ahh, the cruel irony of life. Remember sex with your college girlfriend? That 21-year-old ‘fraidy cat is now a tigress of temptation. Something funny happens to women as they age. Their testosterone levels increase; oddly enough, around the same time that men’s are plummeting. The hormone surge gives ladies a libido lift, which is why women in their 30s and 40s just want to get busy. Meanwhile, our same-age male counterparts are busy studying the inside of their eyelids. Need I say more?

Younger guys look up to an older, successful woman. Let’s talk about those corporate power babes again. Sometimes, it's lonely at the top... but not when there's a starry-eyed cutie-pie smiling up at you! There's something to be said for having a younger guy who admires you for your accomplishments. It makes you feel great, and the sad fact is, you can’t always get that kind of respect from an older man. Baby Boomers may love Donna Reed, but guys born later can understand and better appreciate women who go after their dreams.

The metrosexual male is our cup of tea. Nothing like having your boy over for some afternoon delight and finding out he borrowed your loofah in the shower. The New Generation of open-minded guys is A-OK in our book! This guy can whip up a Thai stir-fry using organic ingredients, grooms his fingernails and his toenails, is politically-correct to a fault, and won’t eat Starkist if it might harm the baby dolphins. To the 40-something who grew up with Archie Bunker, he's a breath of fresh air.

Girls just want to have fun. Some of us are downright immature, and we’re not afraid to say it! Perhaps "young at heart" is the better term, but the point is this: some old gals really do just want to have fun. Lots of broads who are pushing fifty still rock out at concerts, drive 70 mph with the top down, stay out all night, flip people off when necessary, and generally wreak havoc. That’s not to say we can’t find a man of ANY age to engage in juvenile antics with us... but, well, the younger ones just seem more willing to join in the fun.

Some women are late bloomers. Embarrassing as it may be, plenty of chicks spend the better part of their 20s mired in self-doubt and confusion. Instead of kicking back like they should have, the rainclouds of pessimism hung around to dampen their fun and turn them into neurotic freaks. Ten years later, some of those very same basketcases have mellowed into chill ladies who are just now ready to embrace life to the fullest. If this involves cavorting with young fellas in ways they never thought possible, all the better! Better late than never, right girls?

Guys in their prime are ohhhh, so fine. If you had to choose between a thick, juicy steak and some shriveled up beef jerky, which one would you pick? In the same way that men can't help looking at supple young girls, we ladies find ourselves drawn to guys under thirty. Younger men have tight bodies, bright eyes, great smiles, and usually a crowd of buddies to keep them laughing and pumped for excitement. What's the alternative? The balding bachelor with a beer gut who sits home smoking stogies and listening to Springsteen's Glory Days on repeat mode? No, thanks!

In all seriousness, it shouldn’t matter the age of two people who mutually respect and enjoy each other’s company. We love who we love, not matter what their age or what they look like. If an older woman and a younger man feel comfortable having a relationship, then no one has the right to criticize them. To the lady who simply likes a quick fling with a hot young stallion? Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson.

hummmm....well, this article has a "cougar" tendency. The only thing I liked was that age didnt matter when it comes to love. BUT, I personnally dont think I would date someone under 30. As much fun as it seems to be, to know a guy in its twenties, I only been having BAD experiences. Sooo, if a guy in his twenties get interested in a woman my age I have a suspicion he is looking for a "Mrs. Robinson" and I am NOT one.
Need to add more?

I agree the article is good Kathy. Just something about it made my eye flicker lol

Yep...I agree with you Faith...the article has both good and bad things in it...and yeah, my advice is ...if you have a choice...don't date someone in their 20's..if you happen to fall in love...that's one thing...if you have a choice..don't do it....speaking from a couple of years experience here...and it's been a rough couple of years let me tell ya. :( I think I need a hug today Faith...

I was just wondering from what age do you consider it to be ok and from what age do you think you become Mrs Robinson?

:(

(((((hugs))))))
hey! whats happening girl...pm me if you need to talk ok?

I was just wondering from what age do you consider it to be ok and from what age do you think you become Mrs Robinson?

huh. thats not quite my point. I am saying that men in their twenties that approaches women in my age range usually are looking for a Mrs. Robinson. There is exceptions to the rule of course but rarely.
Many guys in their twenties think that women around my age are looking for some "fun". And since around that age they usually arent ready to settle, unless they met the right woman for them, well, they are looking for experience, soooo...one of them is a Mrs. Robinson. :rolleyes:
Yes some do but its not all of us believe me!

Well.. this article just rubbed me wrong and made me squirm one time too many. Maybe cuz its too cougarish?

I mean, I like straight talking, shoot from the hip kind of writers like this ~ but this just didn't sit well with me at all.

Hope you're alright, kathyw. :(
~phos

ok the bones of the article, good enough.

but could she have USED more sterotype catch-phrases? i mean, jeez, calling older men shriveled up beef-jerky? :rolleyes:

I think it was very "tongue-in-cheek" ladies and meant to be humorous. She even says at the end "In all seriousness" which, to me, showed she was purposely being over the top before that.

I thought it was playing on a lot of the stereotypes and was funny - while making some arguable points! ;)

HEY, KATHY!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Would you like a smoochie woochie with that?

I agree Kristin, I enjoyed it and took it as light and playful and didn't find it at all offensive.

Entertaining article. A little 'enhanced' to entertain but not in a super misleading way necessarily...just kinda funny.

But...

The metrosexual is not my cup of tea. No, I’m not hot for a unibrow or a guy that chews is toenails to trim them. But I’ll leave the pretty boys for someone else.

Oh, but don't get me wrong. I definitely like the scenary. :)

Yep, I agree.... it was lighthearted! :)

Well, I found it both tongue-in-cheek and cougarish at the same time... BUT.... WHY WHY is it always an English teacher that sorta "goes bad"?????? :rolleyes:

OPOPS I meant WHO goes bad.... grrrrr..... (Gotta git that grammar right since I am singling out that profession!) :D

well wouldn't ya know that the one gal who hardly EVER see's things in a serious light around here, took THIS seriously. geesh, i amaze myself sometimes :rolleyes:


i need more tea, obviously :D
thanks for putting a different spin on it ladies.

just SO many dang articles are derogatory, i'm starting to see them ALL that way, maybe?

Oh, see, Jeremy is the closest to a "metrosexual" as I've ever dated. I guess I had to agree with the article that it's nice to have a guy that likes to style his hair, wears hip jewelry, uses lotion, cares about his appearance, cook and cleans and will watch a romantic comendy with me! And he is far from a "pretty boy."

I guess I see metrosexual more as a life style than one particular look?

MY understanding of a metrosexual male is that he'd never have a unibrow or (ugh) chew his toenails LOL, he's more likely to go have those things professionally done.

like kristin said, metrosexuals take more time with their hair, nails, clothing, cologne than your average "yuppie" or "average joe" does. and it's not to say that he's better than the other type of guy, he's just a DIFFERENT type of guy.

*loves her some bad boys that happen to be pretty boys* :D

My honey is pretty and in his 20s! Met online when he was 25, he's not one of those who wants a cougar type. He's still only 28, and proposed the other night. So ya can't judge 'em all by each other. :p

He does use nicer personal care products than a unibrow type and he likes to dress nicely, but he's still definitely a GUY about all that stuff. He's way more about comfort than pretty, still tosses his clothes on the floor, hates to iron, doesn't wear cologne. He does like nice shampoo, trims his goatee handsomely, and has some Clinique for Men facial stuff. He's definitely of the younger generation who is more aware of those "finer" things but when it really comes down to it, still totally a guy. If he hasn't anything pretty to wear that's clean...he wears whatever is available.

My 3 brothers, on the other hand, are all more fashion-y/cologne-y/hair product-y...metrosexual. Heh. The youngest is my honey's age and the others are over 30.

Goldie...........Congrats on the proposal !!!!!!!!!

You guys seem like a great couple. I really wish you all the best :)

Thank you miss b! :D :D :D

Congrats Goldie!!!

Congratulations GoldieCat!

Guys in their prime are ohhhh, so fine. If you had to choose between a thick, juicy steak and some shriveled up beef jerky, which one would you pick? In the same way that men can't help looking at supple young girls, we ladies find ourselves drawn to guys under thirty. Younger men have tight bodies, bright eyes, great smiles, and usually a crowd of buddies to keep them laughing and pumped for excitement. What's the alternative? The balding bachelor with a beer gut who sits home smoking stogies and listening to Springsteen's Glory Days on repeat mode? No, thanks!


so then I guess this would also apply . Not so humorous this way though.

Why some MEN like women younger.

Woman in their prime are ohhh so fine. If you had to choose between a think , juicy steak and some shriveled up beef jerkey, which one would you pick? I the same way that women cant help looking at firm bodied young men, we men find ourselves drawn to women under thirty. Younger women have subtle bodies, bright eyes , great smiles and usually and crowd of buddies to keep them laughing and pumped for excitement. Whats the alternative? The sagging spinster with wrinkles who sits watching tv all day and getting fat? NO THANKS.

:eek:

Sure it is. You forgot to emphisize SOME men, though. They have every right to feel that way - it's personal taste. But the OW here aren't usually that kind of woman, so wouldn't be in that catagory and wouldn't be offended - but you and I both know that that kind of woman does exist. ;)

Once again..you've read my mind. :D

That's exactly what I thought.

As for metrosexual males... yesterday I cooked dinner (with a little help from my g/f) and did the washing up. But before that I put together a futon... admittedly it took me about 3/4 hours to do it and there was a lot of swearing going on, but I DID do it. Oh, and I use hair thickening stuff on my hair (obviously) and have face cleansing... err... stuff. This kind of thing is becomming more and more acceptable for men to use. We're allowed to look after ourselves now!

LOL @ Gina, me neither, girlfriend, me neither.
