It's how men are designed! It's in the genes and scientifically backed. Men are wired to breed, like all animals. They seek youth and health and big tits that will feed their offspring and hips that will blow those babies out one after another. It's nature just the same as why women are attracted to big strong dominant men that will protect the pride. We are all animals and not so far removed from our ancestors that fought and bred for their genetic line to carry on.

Strange my line made it so far though when you think about it...

As a woman, I like younger men. It's not so much a fascination as an attraction. I don't find many men my age who are exciting, adventurous and all that appealing once they've let themselves fall into comfortable middle age.. We are expected to "keep up" while they are given the freedom to "give up." lol That's just my experience and preference, and I think a lot of men feel the same way about us. Youth is appealing and enticing and beautiful. And something we all still wish we had I think it's natural.. And men are filthy pigs hahahahahahahaha.... JK!!

I have had two girl friends, long term ones, who were 14 and 12 years younger. In both cases I didn't know their ages before we became an item and the first time when we both realised there was a bit of an age difference, we looked at each other and smiled with "whatever". Didn't make any difference. It's about activity level and what you do, that defines you, as far as we were concerned.

My brother on the other hand married a woman 15 years his senior. He is younger than me but he is a much older person, non active and slow in his nature. They suit each other perfectly as she is an older person too.

When I was 27 I had a girlfriend for two years and she was 35, I never even asked her age before we had jumped into bed after a few weeks.

So I personally don't have any fascination with younger women, just women who suit me, some younger, some happen to be older.

I do have a fascination with women who wear high heels in the bedroom and have attitude .

It doubles my chances compared with only being fascinated by older women.

Some fifteen years ago or more I read an article about a famous celebrity who married a woman that was more than 30 or 40 years his junior. I recall the words of a female friend at the time who said: "She is in love with him." I asked her how many 75 year garbage truck drivers she knows who are dating beautiful looking 25 year old women.........

It's the hard-wired 'breeding imperative'.

OK - men don't always want to father children, but the 'gut reaction' to potential partners is driven by that 'biological aim'.

Young women tend to be healthy, and are therefore 'prime breeding partners'.

I am 54 and now anyone under 30 looks like a kid

Once I heard a conversation between two 75 y/o men: One said "I married a 25 y/o lovely lady." How do you see me? The other answered:

"I see you like a cow's head....far away from the vagina and near the horns."

I think a younger woman rings an evolutionary dinner bell in the limbic brain.

Some men like younger but based on personal experience some men like older by as much as 25 years.

I'm no expert, but I'd guess there is an evolutionary advantage to being attracted to younger females. One has a much greater chance of passing on genes with a younger female because she is, on average, more fertile and has more years of fertility than an older female.

That being said, I have a difficult time connecting with women who are significantly younger than I am. Most 20 year olds just aren't at the same place in life or interested in the same things that I am at 37. Give me a mature woman who can hold her own in a serious conversation!

For me personally, when it comes to conversation the older the better . There is no one better to talk to than my wife’s 90 year old aunt . So many interesting stories . Obviously this has nothing to do with intelligence but I feel I have much more I can relate to with older woman.If men had more common sense they should stay with woman in their own age bracket for serious relationships. . Casual dating is other thing. I am married to a woman 9 years younger, and a lousy 9 year gap sometimes can prevent conversations on certain issues and events that she has no clue about

I have a pretty wide age range that I find attractive. I have dated 20's to 50's. When I was a young man I had "older" lovers (30's-40's) and never really thought much about peoples age.
Here in San Francisco there really isn't much judgement about who you date. Race, gender, sexual orientation and age are all between the two consenting adults.
I am not fascinated by younger women at all. I do date them but it's not about age. It is about attraction. I don't care how beautiful a lady is. If she doesn't have it going on upstairs, it's not going on downstairs!

I'm the complete opposite, I much prefer older women. I'm 29 and my ex's and people I've 'seen' have all been between 38 and 60... LOL

I don't like it. Men need to find women their own age.

I've had the opposite experience. I get hit on by guys in their early 20s. I'm going on 42 so I'm always surprised when it happens but it happens regularly.

If I were cynical I'd explain that a woman blossoms into adulthood and ages from then on like a new car vs the model from ten or twenty years past. Who doesn't like driving them off the showroom floor?
So glad I'm not cynical.

I’m attracted to mature men. Grey can be sexy. Smile lines can be attractive. 45-49

I’m attracted to younger guys. I’m a bit youthful, and feel like I was born ten years too soon. 38-42

I’m 44, and I date in the range of 38-49.

I’m not saying that hot twenty somethings aren’t yummy to look at occasionally, but experience and maturity are better than tight tits and ass. Besides, I was hot and 19 once, I don’t begrudge them their 15 mins.

Now being a younger woman, why does that bother you... lol

Younger women are attractive but I prefer someone of my age or older than me.

If I answer this honestly, will y'all answer a question of mine honestly?

You can't generalise. I'm as playful as I was in my 20s.

I don't think it's just about fertility, though. I'm still considered fertile at 31 but men my age already are targeting women in their twenties over our peer groups more often. I think a big part of it is also that society has taught that young women with certain characteristics are primarily more desirable than others. Which also contributes to why more people are willing to date white women than WoC.

Although, already at the ripe old age of 31, I do get a few whippersnappers who can't even legally drink who think I can be their Mrs. Robinson. :cries:

Well, speaking for myself, while younger women can be enjoyable to look at, I really desire a woman my own age, someone with similar life experiences, someone to grow old with.

What is the fascination with younger men for women? Simple our own view of ourselves is that of being younger than we are! We all age at different rates, yet the mindset does not always keep up!
I have had it both ways! When I was younger older women were always there, as I aged the reverse became clear! Most of my companions and lovers have been younger with an occasional older lady in the mix! It seem once I passed my thirties it was all most exclusively younger ladies! By the way I am not into large or big breasts, large butts! I prefer long hair, someone who takes care of them selves both physically and financially! There are a lot of scary crazy ladies out their, that will do anything for a relationship with an older man! I see just a as many older men promoting the same tendencies to be fair!
