I'm not going to generalize here, but why is it that many women are attracted to older men? Is it because older men are intellectually stimulating and much more interesting; they are quite knowledgeable in philosophy? Or is it because they are seen as "mature" in the sense that they don't goof around and have an established career/goal? Is it beacause they have more money?

Girls what you think? Guys I wanna hear from you too!

Why are Women attracted to older men? they're not

by Emillaaa...

i think maturity.

young women can relate better to older men i think.

by Nina :)

its because girls dont want to date someone younger then them, most people think of it as weird. me personally, i rather have someone my age, or older by a year or 2. it really depends on them, because i really cant speak for all the girls here.

It's hard to tell, I mean, there can be many reasons here. I think older men can make me feel more comfortable, more at easy around them than those my age. And everything just comes naturally. I'm more on the shy side. And men with lots of self-confidence are attractive. Those who show they feel at ease with themselves and don't have any insecurities. Older men know who they are and this makes them attractive. They can also be more understanding towards a woman's insecurities than men her age.

because they can actually carry on a conversation...and they have tons of experience..you can learn a lot from them

i love older guys
Probably because they're more mature.

I'm 21. If I dated anyone younger then me [even by a year] I'd feel like a child molester. I don't know what the problem is I just don't like younger men.

Women like men with power.

Older men exude more power than younger men.

Money. Older men have had time to establish themselves in their careers and have a good income. They also have less to prove to people...they don't need to get in fights or drive like a video game. They're more appreciative of a younger woman and often have better manners and treat women with more respect.

by Molly A

because guys act 2 years younger, so if he is 24 he will act 22, and its cooler to go out with a older guy [unless he is lke 15years older tan yo

Women mature faster than men, so it's natural for younger women to want to date someone on the same level as them.

And sometimes it's just the money.

Not even 20 yet.
But, I am attracted to people older than me.
No more than like 3 years, but I really have no clue why.

by Brandy W

I am generally attracted to older men because they have and aire of maturity about them.

They are more confident and comfortable with themselves and they don't feel the need to play with your emotions.

I am 26, I got married when I was 20 and he was 27...now he is 33 making 125,000 a year, while all of my friends who married guys the same age, still live in apartments and make 40-50k a year......

Older men have drive and determination....I like that.

by Trina

Typically girls mature faster then guys do so the maturity levels are closer when there's a bit of an age gap usually. Also women are usually looking for to start a life and settle down and guys aren't ready to do that until later. I'm 23 and I have a hard time being interested in anyone younger than 30.

I don't think that's true. Interesting and mature people come in all ages. Most of my friends date a variety of guys...younger, older, same age, it doesn't matter. (Unless they were underage or old enough to be your father, in which case that would be creepy, just my opinion)

 by Eve bean

They are not attracted to older men! They are attracted to their wallet, possessions, position & credit. They are truely attracted to younger men like themselves....but they have a whole lot of "nothing" & a lot of debt.
You ever heard of marrying for security (money) & not love?

by dave

Maybe there looking for a father figure?
