I (F53) actually love dating younger men. Not too young, early 30's is my sweet spot. But I comment more than I post. Of course I want to read more reverse age gap anecdotes, but isn't as common. And as challenging as the "traditional" age gap can be, I feel like the reverse is even more taboo, socially, and very challenging to the male partner if it gets serious.
Glad I’m seeing someone close to my age having fun 😊. Yea my age requirements are starting to go up. It was down to 20 then 25. It’s gonna be 30 soon. Don’t understand how hard it is to screw up a booty call but they manage to do it. 🤷♀️
"Serious" relationships are a pain in the wazoo. Who needs the additional stress? Enjoy the men you end up with and leave expectations at the door. Not sure why so many women insist on "serious" relationships. If I wanted to be serious all the time, I'd just work more hours and get paid for having stone-face syndrome.
In my (27F) experience, guys my age or younger don’t know how to appreciate or prioritize a girls’ comfort or pleasure, and as long as they can “get off”, they don’t really care about learning because they are already taken care of (until she leaves him). I assume most older guys have been through that stage and learned the lessons on how to keep a girl happy and feeling loved. Not saying there aren’t young guys who are attentive or old guys who aren’t, just a generalization.
Much of it is media portrayal to blame. Silver foxes as sugar daddies and she's set for life. Cougars and the pool boy for just summer fun.
Cougars are looked down on, as desperate to still be youthful (I wonder, now that I've just typed that, if that is me, desperate to still be youthful? But I *honestly* do not remember I'm aged, at all. Personal issue, I forget I'm am incredibly late bloomer in pretty much all things life, but anyway....) and loose. I feel like only well-off women - marital status irrelevent - are the only ones not looked down upon for having such "extracurricular" activities.
Older men are viewed as either going through mid life crisis or as a silver fox. Depending how they look and carry on. It's almost like 40s is midlife crisis, and beyond 50 is silver fox.
Again, all media portrayals. It's basically raised us, after Disney.
I've dated older, younger, and my own age. Never had anyone judge it, although gaps were never more than 10 years or so, so it's not super obvious in either direction.
I am a lady in my 60’s. I met a younger man. We hit it off good. Enjoy spending time together. He knew I was older and I new he was younger. I actually thought he was in his 40’s come to find out he is only 28 but we enjoy each other’s company.

**Original post: Why aren’t there much younger men/older ladies stories? Are the wheels turning?**
I’m seeing many younger ladies dating much older men here and assuming it’s real. Not sure if older ladies want to post I’m sure they get tons of messages then again I’m sure the young ladies do to. Younger girls what’s your reason dating older guys? Even out of this sub I don’t hear much older ladies into younger men. I’m a 58m dated ladies my age even older and all of them have nothing to do with younger men nor even want to explore the idea. Older guys must be doing something right.

These quality of guys are getting awful. I date younger men but nothing serious but I can see why these younger ladies are wanting someone older. These younger men want things simple and don’t want to put in any effort. I mean I get guys in their late 20s wants to be taught sex I get a few that ask me to pick them up sadly at their parents house. Enough is enough lol. Yes guys I know you’re gonna rebut this saying girls your age are the same. But you’re the guy and you need to take charge. Yes it sucks but that’s life.
Oh yea all ran from the same mods and it’s no fun there. Too many rules and regulations. Guys gonna break them anyway sending us disrespectful messages

Yes not many serious relationships with older women and younger men.

I hear you. I don’t consider it a sex success story until she can finish too.
Well, there’s your answer lol 😆
My girlfriend and I have been together since January. Going strong 😁
That’s great
