  • A better question might be, why are youunger women attracted to older men. It's pretty obvious why older men are attracted to youunger women. They look good, boost their egos, and are usualy easy to manipulate.
  • In my family it is mainly the other way around . I am the only one that had a husband older than me. My sisters all go for younger men It is obvious why older men like younger women but just as obvious why the younger women go for older men and it is not the false teeth and paunches , it is the wallet in the inside pocket
  • It's a myth that men are mostly attracted to younger women. Have you not heard of "Mrs Robinson"? Certainly men like women's bodies that smooth and shapely, but that's more in our fantasies than reality
  • Maturity, life experience, ability to teach them and show them things, and let's be honest, finances do play a role as well. And, if you want to get all psychological about it, there is that element of some women looking for a father figure.
  • They smell of money is more powerful than the moth balls.
  • I married an older man and it has nothing to do with money. It has to do with the fact that he respects me as a human being and not some piece of meat. He is also more mature and cares about my feelings and not how big my boobs are like most guys do.
  • It has nothing to do with money and NOT all women are attracted to older men, regardless.
  • Nothing beats a fresh young wench that's ready to go. It beats a middle aged woman with sagging, wrinkly breasts and a dried out vagina I suppose.
  • G'day Bianca Graham, Thank you for your question. I suspect it is a matter of younger women being more beautiful although they generally have more in common with women of their own age. Of course, that doesn't mean that younger women are attracted to them. :>) Regards
  • This is obviously a generalisation but, they are full of life's possibilities. They are (usually) open to adventure/change/spontaneity/travel/etc.. and have not already settled. It gives an older man the chance to make his life a "do over". They make us feel young all over again. Generally, I find as women (and men) get older, they tend to find their "rut" and stick to it.
  • A new broom sweeps cleaner; a younger woman will help an older man to stay young at heart!
  • Well, from a physical standpoint, I'm assuming because everything is all perky and tight etc. Nothing vulgar here, but there's no denying that over time most peoples bodies don't look as good as they did in their 20's. I mean, yes, there are exceptions like if someone was overweight in their 20's and then were able to lose it, but thats not what this question is about.
  • Younger Women are totally HOT MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
  • It probably makes them feel better to be with someone who's emotional intelligence is on par with their own.
  • I do not know how other guys feel, but speaking for myself, yes younger girls are nice to flirt with. When it comes down to seriously pursuing a relationship though, I will stick to an older woman who is educated and has her head on straight. Seriously- maturity can be a sexy thing.
  • Because younger women are more fertile and thus more attractive plus they have sexier bodies.
  • Most older men are married to older women, and they eventually over time get bored of their wives. I think older men are attracted to these younger women because they are angry with their wives, and what would be a better way to get back at their wife than to lust after a woman that was half her age.
  • I think virtually all 'older' men are attracted to younger women to some extent - whether just having the odd casual glance at one end of the scale, or actually hooking up with a younger chick at the other. Women of all ages can look and be attractive, to some extent. Ok, with that disclaimer out of the way, lets be brutally honest and say that women peak in their physical attractiveness between their teens and early 20s. Certainly after she's left her 20s behind, though she can still be attractive, no woman is ever again going to be of "young beauty queen" status. Basic objective visual appeal will always be of importance to men, that's just a hard fact of life. As well as the visual aspect, there's the attractiveness and vitality of youth, and the different, fresher perspective on life that a younger person has, and it feels cool for an older guy if he can engage with that. I think that many men's appreciation of younger women develop as they get older. For me, I only started realising that I found younger chicks attractive once I was around 27 or so, and my appreciation has only increased since then (I'm now 32).
  • it makes them feel younger..for awhile anyway. but i wonder more.....what would make a younger woman attracted to an older man? if he has money, i understand completely. but if he doesn't? who would want a wrinkled version sooner than necessary?
  • because a lot of times the woman is naive (having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information, i.e., She's so naive she believes everything she reads, he says.) so a man can have the advantage.
  • I don't think it has anything to do with age. I think it has to do with the appearance of being healthy. A woman can be older and be physically fit and healthy. It is much more rare to see a healthy looking older man, though. In any case, the term MILF was not coined for nothing. I'm a woman who finds older men more attractive (older as in old - over 50) and i'm certain that if I were a guy i'd find older women attractive. Men who operate on auto pilot tend to focus on younger women but there is then the man who thinks for himself and he values all women the same. That is the mark of a mature man.
  • In general I believe it is because of the thrill and the whole idea of having something young and tender on his arm but,I must say I have always been attracted to older men and not for there money because I have always provided for myself and have even gotten into arguments with guys about me being to independent. I(18yrs old) am currently in a relationship with a man who is 10 yrs older then me and its has been great. I can honestly say I am attracted to his personality and the way his mind works. we have even discussed that if he did have money and was set but had a different personality I would not be with him because he is honestly not my type physically,mentally or emotionally. but the fact that he is different from what im used to and how he shows me a different outlook on things then im used to makes me even more attracted to him in all three ways.
  • Because some of them are old pervs or pedephiles...no offence to some guys who were lied to..about age
  • Being a younger man, I've always wanted to try my luck with an older woman. They're so sexy!
  • According to evolutionary theory we all look for the best partner that could help us keep our genes going. So men look for a healthy partner, and younger women looks more healthier with their glossy skin and youthfulness. Also being young help them provide more progenies to the man. Of course never a man think all the way, but evolution makes man's brain wired in this way to be attract to a younger partner.
  • For the same reason men cheat and dogs lick their privates...cos they can. Anyone can be attracted to beauty. I don't see guys going after younger girls that are sub par in the looks department just as I don't know any guy in their 20's that would turn down Christy Brinkley. If someone is hot you'll pay attention. Don't worry about others just take care of yourself...besides worrying gives you wrinkles ;)
  • The same reason why some elderly woman are attracted to men who are much much younger.
  • To some it's an ego boost. To some, younger women look prettier. Some simply fall in love with someone younger.
  • Two reasons. 1) All animals, including humans, seek healthy mates that can bear us many young. Even those like me who have no desire to reproduce are wired that way on a subconcious level. 1a) Younger people are more energetic, and energy is seen as a sign of vitality and health 1b) Younger people live longer than older people. More accurately, they die later. 2) Females only have a certain, rather brief period of child-bearing years. A woman in her mid-30s is less able to bear a dozen offspring than a girl in her early-20s. Again, even those of us who consciously decide against reproduction are hardwired so that our standards of beauty are somewhat skewed toward younger women on a more instinctive level. Note that #1 can make those that grow old gracefully like Tina Turner (or give the appearance of such, like Cher) can be seen as more desirable than women half their age. Attitude, makeup, and just plain good nutrition can skew things a bit.
  • Stimulation and I don't mean mental.
  • I know older women are usually better at sex and almost always more intellectually stimulating. but that I still want a hot looking 18 year old. It's just the texture of their skin, the softness and vitality of their hair, lots of energy, raw sexual desire.
  • Their brains stop working after a certain age. They have zero imagination and only can repeat what they wanted before that they think made them happy, with no regard for their own lack of mental growth. Older women don't want them, because they have nothing to add to any intelligent conversation.
  • Because Mother Nature/Biology tells them to be attracted to the young, healthy, fertile, and nubile, so as to increase their chances of spreading their DNA as widely as possible. It's all about reproduction, the survival of their DNA and the survival of the species, even if they don't think they want children. That instinct is operating no matter what their better judgment tells them. In some men, the better judgment never gets the upper hand.
  • Speaking for myself...my taste in women's appearance hasn't changed over the years. What I find most visually attractive in a woman is the same now as it was when I was 15.
  • Younger women taste more fresh down there.
  • really not many 45 year old men want 20 year old ladys most have daughters that age
  • They can relive their youth.
  • Statistically speaking, most men (about 90%) are heterosexual and have no interest in young men. That is why they prefer women.
  • Just like women, guys want the best possible deal for the least effort and cost. When young women start going for guys their own age, stop saying they only want mature men, stop saying yes to dates with older guys, and stop putting out to older guys...their market value and opportunities will swiftly evaporate.
  • We want someone attractive and to have sex with. Not a boss.
  • What a bs question majourity of older men have young daughters and have no interest in young girls. They might like to watch 20 year old girls strip for 5 minuates but have no interest in talking to them or takeing them out.
  • Fresh meat. 🙂
  • Older men are attracted to younger women, significantly younger, because they want to recapture their youth, to feel young.
  • Because they don't know any better (they see themselves as a contemporary of the younger woman).
  • Older men can't get it up like they used to. Young women don't have a basis of comparison and they are easy to manipulate.
    • 11stevo73
      if a bloke cant raise a fat he doesn't need a woman does he?
  • They can relive their youth.
