i'm not exactly sure what category this is...

Hello,
i've been searching around the yahoo groups for a quite a while to chat with OW but had no luck. Most of the yahoo groups are filled with spam and contain no activity. Then last night i came across this site!


i saw a thread about why OW don't approach YM. i saw a lot of interesting responses. I personally have seen lots of very attractice OW but they also seem to already have a significant other. There's also that huge fear that they may think i'm nuts for even liking someone so much older than me. i remember telling one person through instant messager that i found her attractive but when she found out i was 19, just started laughing saying that her kids were older than i was. so it wasnt exactly a fun experience.

Do any of you fellow YM ever feel like all the OW are already taken. It seems like there are not many more OW interested in YM.

Are there any additional places or site for meeting OW?

Don't let your experience with one OW turn you away!

Read more of the posts here, and you'll see that many of the women who are in long-term relationships with YM had to be gently persuaded to open their minds to the possibility.

Then go to the personals, and read the ads (there are a number of unattached women here who are already convinced of the benefits of YM!), then post one of your own.

Hint: for the types of ads that get the warmest reception, check out the ones with the highest number of replies. Ads blatantly seeking sex and nuthin' but, described in multiple four-letter obscenities, won't go over well -- this is a serious, conservative site (with the nicest members on the Net!)

P.S. See jaye's reply of 17/2 to berkeley boy in personals for the "essay requirements"! :D

yes!!
i agree with you...
i think it is hard to find an older woman who is interested in younger men....
if it was reversed, and you were a younger woman looking for an older man....no problem...

but for some strange reason, the universe have deemed older women/younger men relationships wierd and unnacceptable...
so, i get responses like that all the time, you are younger than my son! or you are old enough to be my grandson!

i don;t think too many older men say that to younger women...

and i have been looking for a place to meet older women as well, and i think this forum is the best shot you have....
another suggestion, is to go to something like match.com, and just reply to an older woman;s post even if she doesn;t say she wants a younger man...i think most older women think that it is impossible that even if she wants a younger man, there is no way a 20 yr old man will be interested in a 50 yr old woman.....so just reply to someone nice, and see what happens..

let me know

bigagegap I was going to suggest the same thing - about replying to a personal ad. But, man, remember that when you do that, you will get many women who think you're crazy. Most older women find it very difficult to believe a 19 or 20 year old could be interested in her. Most often they will think its a joke, so be careful and make sure you let them know from the beginning that this is something you feel is right for you and that it is not a joke of any sort.

I also want to say, that its very likely that you already know someone who would be interested in you. Think about the women you know and think about whether (if you like them) they would appreciate knowing that you are interested in them.

You sound like a really nice young man. I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a woman who would love to go out with you.
Good luck and welcome

thank you savannah, bigagegap, and sunlover02 for the great advice!

i'll take it into consideration and hopefully have a good outcome.:)
