As a man in his 40s struggling with self-esteem at the moment, could anyone explain why some women seem to like older men? I cant understand the attraction. Why might someone like a man in his 40s over a man in his 20s or 30s? I dont get it. OP posts: See next See all. Pinkbonbon · 11/07/2023 14:41. I don't get it either so nope can't explain it xD I suppose someone in their late 20s might want a man to be a bit more mature and career accomplished? So might look for someone a bit older. Stability in family life if they're looking fir a hubby perhaps. At 34. I couldn't see myself dating someone past his early 40s. Infact my dating range is set 26-36 atm. If you just date 35-45 then there's no need to concern yourself with why young women might date older men now is there? If you have low self esteem, certainly don't go chasing after 20 somethings. Because contrary to what Hollywood may convert, most 20 somethings do not want to date 40 somethings. Sorry xD. Pinkbonbon · 11/07/2023 14:42. justimtime · 11/07/2023 14:42. I think you'd need to carefully consider the potential reasons, as there are several, aren't there? There would be some women with daddy issues (avoid those!), some who are genuinely attracted to the older looking man, some who just see experience, some who think you might be wealthier than the younger man, some looking for security, some who might see you have a good track record (if you've been married). The list is quite long isn't it? What do you think? 5128gap · 11/07/2023 14:43. If the woman is in her 40s herself she may believe she has more in common with a man her own age, similar life stage, shared points of reference. If the woman is in her 30s and the man is attractive, decent and possibly solvent, she may see him as an option on account of the age gap not being that significant. If the woman is in her 20s, to be honest, unless he's rich or powerful or there are issues in the woman's life that make it harder for her to date her peers, typically she wouldn't be interested. Farmageddon · 11/07/2023 14:56. I think for some women, they want to be taken care of and believe that a more mature man can offer them the security of a lifestyle that they want - in terms of money, but also a maturity in terms of wanting to settle down and raise children. aSofaNearYou · 11/07/2023 15:02. I think it's the maturity thing, particularly when compared against men in their 20s, sometimes 30s. Also, for me, the vast majority of sexy" characters we see in film and tv are in their late 30s at least, so this was definitely the sort of man I was programmed to find attractive! That said, now I'm older, I do judge men for dating women that are significantly younger. And I haven't ended up going for a man that was significantly older than me. Juanmartinez · 11/07/2023 15:02. It's individual taste, when I was in my 40's I wanted to be with someone a similar age as me. I also dated a man 13 years older than me when I was in my 20's . Why? Because I was attracted to him and his personality. Williehollobooby · 11/07/2023 15:05. Not a clue. Unless it's for lifestyle, obvs. SueVineer · 11/07/2023 15:07. I think (talking about young women in their 20s here) it’s generally about security- they think older men are more able to settle down and to support them. Also the age gap means they are more desirable than to a similar man in his 20s so they get to date “up”. I wouldn’t say younger women looking deliberately for older men want an equal relationship, but of course some people just get on and have a lot in common despite the age gap. Original poster. Nightpain · 11/07/2023 15:07. Im not looking for anyone new, at all, Im perfectly content with my partner, just trying to find any reason to feel good about myself. Im working out, Im dieting, Im looking at a new hairstyle. Anything to allow me to feel the slightest bit attractive. Im not trying to attract anyone, I just want to feel attractive. Im sure most women can identify with that. But I cant see why anyone would be interested in me or what I have to offer now I am middle aged. I barely had any interest when I was in my 20s/30s, so I am mystified as to what anyone could see in me now. And yet there are women who seem to go for men my age if preference to younger men. I just want to understand why that is, what they are seeing. Because I dont understand it and I feel like sh*t. OP posts: See next See all. perfectcolourfound · 11/07/2023 15:11. If you have a partner, and she is attracted to you, why does it matter more to you that some random, theoretical younger women might like you. I'm happily coupled and couldn't give a sh*t if anyone fancies me, other than my husband. I can get all the attraction / complements I need from him. Why do you need other women to fancy you? Surely your OH fancying you is all you need to know? greenspaces4peace · 11/07/2023 15:12. Looks and confidence, accomplishments (travel work life experiences) stability maturity. 20 yr old men are not much different than silly teenagers, many 30 yr olds are still “finding themselves”. Near 40 might be a perfect age. i can think of many reasons. TheYearOfSmallThings · 11/07/2023 15:13. They will tend to like older men if they are successful in life and willing to offer commitment (children and financial stability) that younger men can't or won't offer. If you are employed, own a home and are ready to settle down you are good to go. justimtime · 11/07/2023 15:14. Nightpain · 11/07/2023 15:07.
