women always want to be younger than what they realy are, they want to be like that because they feel theyre life is going down the drain

because the young people are sexer

They're not. Who told you that?

Older women AREN'T jealous of younger women. HERE'S A TIP... An over 40 woman will never wake you up in the middle of the night to ask " What are you thingkin'?" She doesn't care what you think. An over 40 woman knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing. An over 40 woman usually has had her fill of " meaningful relationships and committments". The last thing she wants in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover. Over 40 women are dignified. They seldom have screaming match at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Over 40 women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. An over 40 woman has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her bestfriend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. An over 40 woman couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to an over 40 woman. They always know. Over 40 women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. And lastly... a woman who is over 40 is... ME!!! :-)

In the context of whether they are competition for me in the world of men and dating, well if I am jealous of any woman, younger or otherwise, then I need to step back and deal with my own self-esteem issues. Now, granted, I have found myself envious of younger women for other reasons (which could also be self-esteem issues). When I got to the point where I had to realize I would probably never have children, I went through a period where I was jealous of younger women who were mothers (or would be). It took a year or two, and I had to grieve the loss of motherhood, but I did come past that and realize I have a world of freedom and I don't have to be a mother to be whole. I have been jealous of younger women for having younger bodies, having more energy, being able to do things which is harder at my age. But it is all relative. If I am wise, I will put all childish behaviors behind me and realize that I have just as much going for me now. Experience and wisdom -- and I'm still getting that! Plus, if I were honest, being young isn't all it's cut out to be. We tend to remember the good stuff about youth, and forget the bad. So, I'm not sure if that answers the question, but its as honest as I can put it.

It's not to do with age. Some women, older and younger are just jealous.

A general question begs a general answer. So in general, most older women avoid the company of most younger women because they just aren't very interesting. They have no knowledge of women's history. They're consumed with their appearance, their relationships, acquiring things, and celebrity gossip. They have no interest in local, national or world events, and if they express an opinion, it's usually not backed by any facts. If you need proof, consider the arrogance of the question we're responding to.

Says who?

They are not, and what is considered older anyway I am older than the teens that makes me an older woman.

It's natural that women will go through periods of jealousy at their younger counterparts - perhaps at certain stages, like hitting their 30s or passing childbearing age. But hopefully other things in life will take over and jealousies pale away into insignificance.

mostly older women get jealous cuz they aren't valued in our cultures and they get scared, i think, and hit on younger women , which is a crying shame cuz really we're all the same in our need for love as well as our diverse capcacities to give love. i am so tired of the gross envy and sarcasm of older women who resent my younger, and to some more sensual, body, but truly i forgive the deadly psychologoical assualts of older women on me and the young cuz i know they got hedged into seeing themselves as beyone redemption when they got old in years. may this sexist pattern be transformed now by the goddess and all that is good.

Most older woman are jealous of younger women because of youth, they have many younger aspects that older women lose with age such as (younger skin with no wrinkles, perky breasts, energy and young slim/athletic bodies). Age and wisdom is good and all but if you want a fun energetic beautiful female than youth is what you want.

I'm an older guy. I jealous of everyone in the world who isn't me.
