His lovely bank account. lol
-
guys our own age tend to be pathetic and immature. in general some arnt to bad
-
actually i am a guy "23YR" I want a "women" in her 30s i just feel that im to mature for "teens" I dont do the party scene i want someone that is secure and stabile with herself...
-
There are fewer assholes amoung them. Plus, I'm not my male peers' "object of affection" anyway.
-
Money money money money.....MONEY

My husband is 6 years older than I am. It didn't really play into why I was attracted to him. I can definitely see why a woman would be attracted to an older guy. I think it makes her feel more secure. Security is very important to a woman. IMO. A guy her age may be still sewing wild oats, or may not be ready to settle down. He may not have the financial security she is looking for. That's the way I see it.
-
Confidence in who they are, secure in their knowledge and usually more in tune with emotions both ours and their own. In short they seem to understand women more
-
Most of the time with age comes wisdom. A little gray hair on a man is very attractive to me as well.
-
They say that men mature slower than women. My boyfriend is 8 years older than I, and he seems to be about my level. Because he is older he has had more time to get things in his life straightened out, he has a steady job, has his (our) own apartment and can take care of himself. He has had the time to learn more life lessons that he can share with me, and I can show him different point of view. Also, alot of women like to feel taken care of and safe and an older man generally makes us feel that way. Plus older men have had more practice at some things and know how to utilize their assets. We'll just keep that at that. ;)
-
They are distinguished for one...
-
Not in all, but in most cases, women are usually more mature than guys, so we have to look to older individuals to meet our match.
-
I have never really dated an older man before. I honestly cannot say that the men I have dated before were immature. For the moment the relationships lasted, I enjoyed them and cannot see that age played a part in them. I think had I dated much younger.. then sure there would probably have been a maturity issue.. a natural issue I would think. My fiance' is 16 years older than me. Our dad's have been best friends for years but my fiance' lived in California and I did not meet him until a few years ago. I fell in love with the way he spoke to me and others. I fell in love with his zest for life and his all around decency. How I feel about him influenced me. Not his age.
-
They are just sexy & self assured(or at least act like it). They are usually not as dramatic as younger men, they usually know what they want & have the means & ability to get it. I would leave my hubby for Sean Connery & his sexy accent in a nanu second....
-
The are all grown up. My man is like a fine wine, much better at 42 than 22.
-
They are just so bloody hot. Especially with their grey hair and walking frames mmmmmmm. Nothing like a good catheter either.
-
Personally I'm not so keen on older men. All the men I know who are around my age even, have let themselves go!
-
I'm no more attracted to older men than I am to other men.
-
the first man i was passionately attracted to just was older had this aura that i have never found in any other man since and I think that I looked to older because i was hoping to find it again. it was a unrequited thing btw.
-
Honestly, older men are not afraid of oral sex. In my experience anyway...
-
for me it was how much more stable he is than me....it kinda balanced things out, ive learned a lot from him. im 21 hes 29
-
yeah, i don't know why. my friends tease me a lot that i get attracted to older men a lot. infact most of my crushes are older than me. i am 20 now and they are all 35 around. :>) i guess the probable reason being, they are experienced in life, they do things right(also may be because of their past experience). and all i can say is, they are experienced. oh did i already say that. lol.
-
How old is older? In the 40s or 50s?
-
Their attractive bank account :) As it seems. I am not interested in way older men...
-
I do not like dating men my age or younger because they are immature and not set in their ways. With most older men they are secured in their lives and they know what they want most of the time. I am finding out also that with older men they can be more respectful. I know younger men can be too, but with my experience the older men will out weigh the younger men.
-
I am a man, but I actually love older women. They seem a little bit classier, refined, and reserved. Of course this is not always the case, and there are exceptions to every rule, but as a general rule of thumb I am more attractive to women who are older than me. Some young girls are wise beyond their years, but most seem flighty and superficial. It is not about age ... it is about experience. (JUST FOR FUN - I added a clip from a movie called "White Palace" where a younger guy dates an older women. Enjoy!)
-
They know how they feel. They have solid opinions. They take control and are chivalrous.
-
Older guys are more mature and intune with what we want. They also (not always) know how to control themselves
-
The illusion of maturity.
-
They don't have time for the games, they are looking for a serious relationship and have already been taught how to be a gentlemen from there past relation ships that didn't work. Maybe you haven't heard, don't throw the man away you have to make him a better man for the next. Over time they become that older man that you will be attracted to.
-
more secure and in control of emotions
-
Oh wow, I've always been attracted to older men, ever since my early teens. I'm with one right now who's almost twice my age (when we met he was twice my age when I was 21). I just find the maturity, experience, confidance/self assurance and being secure in who they are very attractive. Like not 'Who am I?'. Nothing wrong with that, but many young guys are like that, confused about things and insecure about it, I just never liked that. But the smoothness of older men, in the way they do things with such assurance and knowledge/experience oh wow ;)
-
Because they've been "around the block" and know more then men the girls age.
-
Nothing.
-
To each their own. As for me, I prefer not too old for me but if he's just a friend then why not? (- -,)
-
Because they are more mature and confident.
-
Their maturity, gentlemanliness, confidence, chivalry and flirting in a non-cheesy manner lol.
-
they know how to treat a lady, they have more money, their children are grown, they drive better cars, they are better in bed, etc
-
Maybe it's there man boobs or wrinkly skin....lol...just kidding...it's probably that they are stable..or appear more stable than their younger counterparts.
-
there mature more sexual experience.....%-( not sure
-
Because they are more mature, more experienced in life, have old fashioned points of view.
-
males mature slower, thus the females wanted to have a mature man.. go with an older one.. also, a man who knows what he's doing is never a bad thing.

Im 22 and my hubby is 43. We hooked up 5 yrs ago, (my mom was fine with the fact i was 17 and he was 38) we have a 4yr old and a baby on the way. I dated alot of guys my age and 5yrs or so older then me before i found my husband. and they all were annoying, immature, and dramatic, not to mention they didnt know what they wanted in life, and are more prone to cheat. My husband and i are at the same level mentally. We have alot of the same opinions, and like alot of the same things. My Aunt Polly told me when i started dated Jeff, "Its better to be an older mans sweetheart then a younger mans slave". Thats the truest statement. Older men are also better in bed, they have had alot more years to practice.. lol

They listen without judgement cos more than likely they've been where you are. Never underestimate the power of good conversation when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Act like you're older and you'll get the same girls or better.
