For some strange reason, I do prefer to be with the older generation it seems that they have better flow of character and have a special feeling to them I mean there is a limit on there age, but it seems that at work I still check out both female and males that come in to buy stuff just why is there a lil kinky thing for older women? :P

xxx I think that as far as it's consensual and both are adults knowing what they do, I don't care if I am with a younger person or an older one, as far as I feel comfortable with him/her. I'm currently having fun with an older lady friend who is a few decades older than me and she wants more sex than many of the really young ones I've been with!!! lol

All the best,

hmm sounds all funky hmm only thing is older ladies seem to be a rare myth unless they are at some orgy which they are probably up for most things I guess...

Lots of guys, especialy hetero/het leaning bi guys seem to have an attraction towards older women.

Personally I don't really get this but mainly because while I like some women I like them to be around my age and not older.

I do like older men though but not guys who are geriatric or my grandparents' age.

Most of the guys I've dated/had sex with or who I've been attracted to are older even if it was only by 5 years.

Also I like it if guys at least look/act older like I do.

I don't really see this as being a kink as we all have our attractions and there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm intensely attracted to two people. One 5 years my senior and one 11 years my senior. I'm not bothered by this in the least, because the intellectual equality is there. Also, frankly, I'm burned out on people younger than me after the last few drove me completely up the wall.

yea it's kinda funny that some 20yo's act as if they were 17 and then some 17 yo's act as if there were 21 but yea I wouldn't do grandmas, it's just that thing where people have a great understanding of more to talk about rather than sitting in silence staring at the wall :P

You're 18, nothing bad about it... it's merely a matter of them liking YOU at this point. :)

No sweat, no worries, pikers.

We love younger men. Particularly cute younger men. Wish we could find some close to us that liked folks our age.

You like who you like. No big deal. It's no one else's business besides yours and your partner's anyway.

Just relax and enjoy it.

I like older women and men because I am often older than they are.
So, I guess I really like younger women and men, even if they are old.
I like some women and men who are actual older, but not too much older.
Otherwise, they might be dead. :eek:

Is it bad to like older people? I certainly hope not, my husband is about 12 1/2 years older than I am. It's no problem for the two of us, though you do get some folks who make comments out of spite. Even prior to marrying Jeff I look back and noticed that I have nearly always drifted towards folks (male or female) that were older than I. Why? Not too sure, maybe has something to do with them being more settled in their ways, whereas the folks closer to my age always seem to have to prove something. Bottom line is, you like, love and care for those you do, regardless of why, it's just there.

In my twenties, I had one guy (not counting the many causal encounters -I never asked) who was 3 years older than me, one that was 10 years older than me, another that was 14 years older and finally one that was between 19-22 years older than me. I also had a woman who was 11-14 years older than me (and she was a creep, frankly; but that was a personal issue, not an age one).

Nothing wrong with it, as long as you're with them because you genuinely like them. In my case, my self-esteem was in the crapper during my twenties and that affected who I went with (half the time I was simply happy anyone would give me the time of day).

When it comes to men, I've always preferred guys my age or older, preferably older. The one younger guy I went out turned into a fiasco and reinforced all the ideas I'd had about younger guys (ie that I would end up babysitting them).

Its not the age but who you connect and feel comfortable with.

Well, ... My Lady (9 years together now) is 23 years younger than me.
My ex wife put it well
She said . I'm a very young 50 and my Lady is a very old 27.

Its the spiritual connection that counts.
When I'm 70 it may be an issue.. till then I refuse to worry..
And, yes we do get some vile stare in the malls because we are still very in love and and are affectionate. We always hold hands to this day.

Women my age are the worst for giving us the evil eye.. mostly to me....

That all said I do not play with much younger guys. I play with men around my age and older too. Old guys in good health can be great lovers. Patient and knowing the buttons. Women are losing out by stopping their play in older years...

Age is just a number (I can say that cuz I've got a lot of those numbers :tong: ).

To me, it's more the maturity level of the person than their age. One of my past lovers was much, much younger than myself (she was 23, I was 41), yet she is more mature and responsible than I am.

As long as you can hold a conversation and have things in common, it's all good.

I am 31 and my first real gay friend I was intimate with is 54 - I PREFER it that way because I really want someone with EXPERIENCE who's been around the block a few times and knows about how these things go. When I think about how confused I was as an 18 year old gay kid .. no offense - I'm sure if I met the right one..they can be very playful and really live life.

Same thing with ladies - maybe it's a strange "Freudian" thing but I prefer older women too. I think more than likely it's a dom/sub thing on some level too..but I also like older folks for all of the aforementioned reasons.

Like I said in chat though - in the end we decided to be "just friends" because he is still of the generation that believes that "women" doing things like "driving cars" makes the world that much more difficult. I try to point out that - just like gay people - women didn't really choose to be born that way .. but it's set in with age now.

exactly right, seeing a younger woman now myself, and feel closer to her than any I've ever seen

We both tend to relate to the person rather than their age. We have enjoyed people half our age and others older. As long as we all had an interest in one another, age was never an issue.

Hi Cat
I am happy to add to life’s little pleasures with humor about an issue that can cause significant anxiety.

If you are very young you can only look for romance your age and up. (Legal issues can get in the way. You do not want to be on the sex offender registry list.) If you are on the older end of the scale you can only look for romance from your age down (Life span is limited). So young people will tend to feel more attracted to older people and old people more attracted to younger people. People in the middle can do what feels good and right at the moment. I sort of remember being 35 and the freedom to have relationships both up and down the age scale.

I only have a problem with those that that are “upper middle age” (55+) that ONLY want and ONLY will consider romance with those men and especially women 25 year old or less. I cannot say this is never a workable romance. But, I do not understand how this can work out well for the younger partner in the long run, unless the older partner has many millions of dollars and is sure to die very soon. Even then, think about of the end of life tragedy of Ana Nicole.

However, most of us should not worry, and use a little humor on those that object to our romantic preferences.

As we get older, age is nothing... ya, its a BIG DEAL if your say 30 and the persons like 13....

but after your 18, it doesn't matter anymore.... its the maturity level that starts to become most important.

Ive seen 20 year olds at work who are much more mature than a lot of eldery customers lol

When it comes to dating, all thats really important is maturity and having things in common. You fall in love with thier personailly not thier age (or gender)
