They are more mature... most are not AS afraid to commit....men are like wine, they get better with age :o) A man with salt and pepper hair looks distinguished. They are more likely to express more feelings and less macho attitude.

Well, I always seem to get the guys younger than me, but if I were to go for someone older, it would be for the feeling of security and the hopes of them being more mature in all ways. I think any girl that is too young and going for an older man is looking for a daddy..same as an older man looking for a younger girl is looking for someone he can manipulate.

Not all women are, but I'm one of the ones that is... so I'll offer my expert opinion.

It has nothing to do with money. At least, not with me. I've been dirt poor my whole life, and money just doesn't mean much to someone who's never had it.

I was attracted to Jason at first - because he had interests. Not just hobbies, but things that he felt so powerfully about that it seemed they were part of his soul. And when he (for example) has his hands on a guitar, it's as if it were an extension of his body that he had lost, and with which he was rejoined. Most of the boys closer to my age did not feel passionately about anything, except maybe World of Warcraft. And, IMO, sole obsession over the product of someone else's talents is childish and stupid.

I liked him further when I learned he was fond of reading, and had as many non-fiction books in his library as I did. Being able to sit for hours and discuss things we have read about Bronze age weaponry, or the Knights Templar, or the mysteries surrounding the Nazca plain... it was very refreshing.

He took care of his mother for years, through her insanity and medical conditions. He works hard and takes pride in his work. He is always willing to sit down and learn - he doesn't have the attitude typical of other people I know: "I'm better than you, I know more than you, revel in my awesomeness"

I guess, in short, I was attracted to him because he was, indeed, a grownup.

I would say because young women (18-late 20s) are tired of dealing with the boys in their own age group. They see older men as more mature, more grounded and level headed and as being true men and not boys.

I was never attracted to older men. I ended up marrying someone 20 years younger than me.

I have to admit, this subject has been on my mind for a while, mostly because of friends my age dating girls my daughters age. Personally, I passionately believe that it is a parents responsibility to act in their kids (regardless of age- but how you act differs with age) best interest. No way some old perv is dating my daughter. Think this is an immature outlook? I am curious as to why you would- in this world of technology, freedoms and internet- can you not find someone with common interests and beliefs that is not old enough to have spawned you? Are you searching for something or what. And to the perv- Karma!

Actually, I only saw the tiny avatar next to your comment.
I checked your user page (or whatever they call it here)after you informed me of my faux pas.
You're definitely not a guy, and you have pretty blue peepers, I might add.
