Nope. I only crush on older guys.
Like, David Bowie old.

Well my last girl friend was 9 years older to me (she’s 30 now, 29 when we were last together and I’m 21).

The divorcees are on the prowl. Sometimes, you have to make sure you have an escape plan in the treacherous areas these women lurk…and yes, I have been preyed upon. And I liked it.

coogan's avatar

I meant LOVED it. They do craziness you wouldn’t dream about getting younger girls to do. AHEM or so I’ve heard ; )

Some do. In fact, just about every combination you can imagine (and maybe some you can’t) is out there, young @Disaster_Porn. I have no doubt that there are women older than you who’d like to make your acquaintance. But just like anything else that’s a matter of taste, some do—and some don’t.

Please say yes. Please say yes. <fingers crossed>

My friends and I just had a discussion about this the other day. I personally wouldn’t date younger guys but they said they would…then again we’re not that old.

Disaster_Porn's avatar

@Jeruba you one those ladies? Haha

Jeruba's avatar

Sorry, darlin’. Married 32 years, and faithful. But age doesn’t cause men or women to stop noticing attractive young people. I appreciate beauty where I find it.

Certainly like looking! messy Sawyer from Lost, for example

@Jeruba oh my heart sniff :(
lol

gratz to the marriage ya hear

From what I’ve been told, the cougars may like an in-shape, younger 20’s guy. If you’re going cougar, go for established ones that require wit, and make sure you have it as well or you’ll look like a dolt. A college education helps here. Athleticism is a plus because she really wants you to knock her socks off. Younger guys also have less responsibility, so they can focus more attention to the cougar than their next presentation or upcoming deadline. Again…this is just what I’ve heard. Cougar trapping is a risky business and more often than not, you will not be the predator, but the prey.

Some do.

Some don’t.

I’ve dated younger and older, but I prefer older.

escapedone7's avatar

I prefer much older men. I am in my 30s. I usually date men from late 40s to mid 50s. I have a hard time relating to younger people. However I know many of my friends feel differently. Different strokes for different folks. There is somebody for everybody out there, I imagine.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

I would think maybe for some, and even then, only if the guys were right for them.

YARNLADY's avatar

Yes, all three of my husbands have been younger than I am. My current husband of 36 years is 8 years younger.

Just_Justine's avatar

Yes, my current “admirer” is 30 which is 17 years younger than me. I also had a beautiful admirer of 21 but that was a bit too young loll.

Milk's avatar

How much older would you have to be to count as a cougar? My mother is 7 years older than my stepfather. Does she qualify? creepy thoughts…

coogan's avatar

A cougar isn’t a certain age older than her partner, she’s a 40+ y.o. woman, most likely single (divorced) who lusts for the seed of a young cub (18+ I hope). I bagged, or should I say was bagged by a cougar nearly 30 years older than me(I was 20 at the time, but I didn’t know her age). Just make sure she’s not a family friend or you may be the talk of next year’s Thanks Giving dinner : ) Giggity-giggity!

faye's avatar

I don’t think we care anything for the seed, actually.

coogan's avatar

@faye maybe not seed for conception, but I heard it makes a great alternative to Oil of Olay. There’s nothing wrong with a woman finding a younger guy to quench her lust. Men have been doing it since, well, forever. I support the movement. Donate to your local wineries and other cougar reserves. Protect these magical creatures who prowl in the night.

I am afraid that i don’t accept our husband is younger than me

delam's avatar

Sometimes yes!

margot23annie's avatar

Only if they are nice people and bathe regularly. Under these conditions, hell yeah!!

Pandora's avatar

Do we like younger guys? Sure why not. Pretty to look at but that is all on my end.
If I were single I would still just look. Maybe flirt a little but nothing hotter to me than a distinguish looking man my age or a little older who is in good shape and has excellent grooming habits and is a gentleman.

wilma's avatar

Umm ya.
Some of us do notice and appreciate younger men.
As for prowling, not me, but whatever someone else does is their business.,

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

What does age have to do with it? If he/she makes you happy, grab it. Look thru some of the news, questions on the web, or posts here. A lot of people are just trying to find a little happiness in their lives. If someone can make you feel like a king/queen for even a little while, it’s worth saying screw society, I’m getting a little.

Theby's avatar

Well, I’m married to someone who is 20 years younger than me. He was the pursuer, not me. I didn’t want to have anything to do with him as I thought he was for too young at the time. His persistence paid off and we married 5 years ago. Our age difference only seems to matter to other people, not us! We are very happy.

Sophief's avatar

I prefer older men, much prefer. I like my men to be men. Maybe when I am older I might want a younger man, but I really hope not. Age is number, each to their own.

Aster's avatar

Like, of course. “Get with?” No. Besides; I’m married.

Crossroadsgrl's avatar

I’m cracking up ;)
I’m 40, and ya I like a younger guy * right now*, but who CARES?! It’s because I act younger and am such a free spirit. My own age is so incredibly irrelevant to me I feel 30, and probably will when I’m 50. The predator/prey thing is SO weird to me. For me it’s preferences of attitudes and this particular guy seems to be similar to me. If dating we would appear to be the same age immediately IMO .

kristar's avatar

I am in my 40’s, but still prefer older men for some reason. I never thought of dating young men. I have a friend who is 9 years older than her husband and they are happily married. I guess what matters is that they love each other and happy together.

AnonymousWoman's avatar

That depends on the woman. Personally, the guy I am most attracted to turned 21 this year (2012) and I am turning 22 in less than two months. It’s not his age, but how he treats me and others that I like.
