Women Only Please: Why Do Young Girls(17-25) 'Like' Older Guys(40's-)?

    Well, as I found out several decades later, yes, it is sort of creepy. In retrospect. At the time: well. . . .when I was 15, I was getting ready to rock. All the boys I knew were just dweebs and kids to me. To get any intelligent appreciation (or what seemed like it at the time), men several years older seemed attractive. Mind you, I'm not talking about men in their 40s. I meant, for me, about 10 - 12 years older. And that was in the 60s. The only thing I can say about girls 'liking' guys their father's age is pretty obvious. Their own father proved inadequate at being the father of daughters. The female instinct is to protect family, even if she is treated badly or unfairly. She feels, instinctively, that there must be a better relationship out there. Except that by the time she's in the 17 - 25 age group, she understands that she will be expected to engage in sex. Which means she is obviously in a very, very conflicted state of mind, desperately wants protection. In fact, for many young girls, it's like the protection of marriage - you only have to deal with one guy. He will keep the rest of them off of you. And for that essential margin of safety, she will align herself with this father age lover, despite knowing how unequal the relationship really is. In such an unequal situation, 'true love' is very unlikely to find a way.

    Cause it is true... they might not be playing video games, but they are hanging around doing nothing and usually broke. Girls dont want a scrub that cant take her out for dinner, shopping, or fun places....On top of that young boys only care about getting themselves off, when older guys want to pleasure and please the woman and themselves

    Could be, but there are more older creepy guys out there than there are older guys who just haven't met the right girl yet....and those creepy guys set a stereotypical precedent for every other older guy looking to start a relationship with a woman who happens to be younger than them.

    Older guys have more experience, which means they are better at playing mind games, and acting like they are powerful and competent even when they are not.

    I'm pansexual so this goes for trans and women too

    People in my age group SUCK. Even though there are some older creepers, I'd rather hang out with a more mature crowd. Someone to talk about life and philosophy and deep things in life, not just freakin' tabloids and celebrities because most of those people mean nothing to me. I'm not jealous, but its annoying when people get paid millions to act like someone they are not.

    Older people are more settled down, stern, self assured. Young guys want numbers not romantic late night walks in a park. Young guys want to spread there seed as much as possible and they are so influenced by the culture of treating women's bodys like score points that they can't see past anything else.

    Young guys or boring and insecure, just as much as young girls maybe even more. They feel like they have to be macho douche bags to impress their friends. Ugh

    Older men have wisdom, knowlege and those alone are sexier than having had 100 "broads" in one week.

    I keep hearing of this stereotype of young guys getting a hundred 'broads' in one week, it's not true of every guy....and of course young guys are boring and insecure, they're trying to figure out who they are just like women their own age which makes a lot more sense for young men and women to be together than older'creepy dudes looking for young girls because they know that their fragile minds can be twisted and manipulated to serve their own purposes.

    I think we want to have a boyfriend, who has experiences and behaves in a more mature way. It's not because the boys in our ages are not mature enough. It is because the older men seem more attractive. Their behaviours and perspectives of life are different. Maybe we also feel more secure with them.

    Girls mature faster than boys, so a lot of times when girls are looking for someone to be with, they seek out someone with a similar level of maturity and it's hard to find that in your late teens and early 20's with same-aged boys/men. Plus, they're mysterious, experienced, and can help a girl feel safe.

    Lol, I'm just saying why some girls do that. I was kind of referring to a smaller age difference though, like 18 with 25 or 23 with 30. The bigger gaps like you're talking about usually make me think they have daddy issues of some sort.

    I never did. nor did my friends. we were creeped out by that and my neices are as well. of course they are all gorgeous. The thing is an older man might give a young woman a family which a young man may not want at the same time. There is that societal pressure for women to marry and the young ladies are impatient sometimes and may actually be attracted to the confidence and security offered by a man who can provide them with the things they want--marriage, kids, home, car. plus they can get training in lots of things--I mean an older man should be able to teach them a few things without a lot of fuss. nothing like experience.

    Of course young women have fantasies of getting married but older men shouldn't manipulate them into a relationship so they can 'fulfill' their fantasy of being married and starting a family, and most of the time, guys are just looking for one thing, sex.
