Guys, have you ever had older women express interest in you?

[coloradodem2005]

The thing is I have had a few do so. Some of them have been 20 years older than me. I just thought it was weird.

[Misunderestimator]

1. I've had much older men ... 30+ years interested in me...

why is it interesting to have an older woman interested in a man?

(Oh, and I've had plenty of 20+ year older women interested in me too, over the years... not weird at all.)

[Merlot]

2. Lighten up. Attraction isn't weird. People do it all the time.

You don't have to get involved, and can still be slightly flattered...

[Dogmudgeon]

3. Yes indeedy

But not recently.

When I was in my late 20s, the 30-40 set liked me a whole lot. But these days, it seems to be single girls in their mid-20s with children and mental problems.

It's all like the tides. In, then out, then in, then out ...

--p!

4. Not for twenty years.

For a woman to be older than me now, well, she'd have to be OLD.

[lectrobyte]

5. Sure, not a problem.

[loudestchick]

6. I was always interested in the younger guys...fewer bad (sex) habits

[blondeatlast]

13. True that! nt

[Longgrain]

7. All the time

When i was in college most of my friends were women in their late thirties/ early forties, usally married with kids my age.
It was actually kind of intriguing wondering why they spent so much time talking to me. :shrug:

8. Why is it weird?

Older men have expressed interest in younger women forever - why is it so unusual that older women might be interested in a young man?

Your reaction might be a good thing to remember for when you're 87 and trying to feel up the 22 year old waitress who just brought you your porridge....

[coloradodem2005]

9. Probably because I think it's weird that any woman would be interested...

...in me.

[Nikia]

10. My husband sold computers

At a retail store in and shortly after college. Middle aged women hit on him all the time. A few even asked if he could come over and help her for non traditiuonal payment.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. My wife is older than me....it rules.

[blondeatlast]

12. My hubby is 12 years older than me. Celebrating 9 years in April.

Try it, you might like it.

[coloradodem2005]

15. I don't want to date a girl 12 years younger than me.

If I dated 13 year old girls, I'd get arrested. ;)

[blondeatlast]

20. Yokes--I meant to say that he's 12 years OLDER.

Yes, my original reply gave me pause.

[fishnfla]

14. Yes, especially as I get older too

better learn to deal with it

[MrModerate]

16. Umm, yes -- but I don't kiss and tell n/t

[jmm]

17. Now you know what us women go through

Last week a co-worker of my mom told her he was old fashioned and asked for her permission to ask me out. It only feels weird to me in situations like that when someone is close to one of my parents.

[Cush]

18. women my own age don't show any interest me......

let alone older ones.....

[tjdee]

19. I've expressed interest in Jamie Bell, and he's 10 years younger than me.

:silly:

They may find you mature without being stodgy.
They probably feel younger than their age.

Plus, young people are constantly drilled into our heads as being most attractive.

[trof]

21. When I was in my 20s, 40 years ago.

And she was married.
"Separated", but still married.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Sure...when I was 25, I went out with a 42 year old for a while.

I learned a lot. :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

27. and i bet she had a great time with you, too!

:evilgrin:

[Borgnine]

23. I'm 21 right now.

As it stands, the only people who express interest me in me are teenage girls (thanks, but call me when you're 18), gay men (I'm flattered, and it's nice to know I have options, but I'm straight) and older women (35+). I guess being a self-deprecating neurotic doesn't play well with women my own age.

[NightTrain]

24. I was 17, she was 22. Does that count?

[bettyellen]

25. when women are in their 20's, a lot of them chase good looking bad boys

and totally ignore the nice guys. a lot of us rethink this and start appreciating men as people once we've had our fill of eye candy.
so, i'm guessing that you just come off as a good guy, which makes your audience mostly 30+!
I get guys 10-12 younger hitting on me all the time... i think it's because there are more of them who are single. sometimes it's flattering, weird? no. even when my friends 15 years younger son hit on me, LOL, i guy hitting on a gal at a party ain't ever going to seem weird to me.....

[mark414]

26. well uh...once

this past summer i had a bit of a relationship with a 28 year old...and i'm 19

[Joe Power]

28. I dated a 30 yr old nurse when I was 21

Life was good!:bounce:

[Steve Nash is god 13]

29. no

[leftofthedial]

30. ever since I was a teenager

older women have been after me


so have younger women

and a few my age too

[Swede]

31. We had a bar in town where older women and young men would hook up.

I guess every other bar in town would be the opposite.

[prairierose]

32. My best friend has been with a younger man (20 years diff)

for almost 6 years now. I always tell her that she's my hero! I also told her that if I ever lose my mind & decide I need a man in my life again, I'm looking for a younger one. :evilgrin:

[NC_Nurse]

33. My husband is 11 years younger than me.

We've been together for 10 yrs. :)

(Disclaimer: He was over 21 when we got together. )

[Withywindle]

34. When I was a teenager I was always attracted to older men...

...now I'm with a guy 4 years younger.

I guess 26-37-ish has always been my ideal age for a guy and always will be even when I'm 80. :evilgrin:

[Squeech]

35. Older women rock

Mrs. Squeech is 6 years older than I am.

By now it's a cultural thing more than anything else. People who didn't go through the '60s, at least conceptually if not in person, generally don't strike me as interesting.
