Junior is gonna be disappointed

Well, he will learn he has to step on many
stones to get across that river.

He is not even at the river yet ;-)

I can't think of a single reason why older women are better than younger women. it's not a contest.

Indeed not a contest but oftentimes you do see women around 40-50 being highly attractive. They've got a different aura than younger counterparts. They carry themselves differently. More confident, knowing what they need & want in life, what they stand for and more ease and inner strength. Maybe even more inner calm.
Often all the not so important drives from the past have fallen away (wanting to have a career, success, a family and so on). They either achieved it and/or realised there are more important things in life.

I can understand the appeal.

Question is:
what age are most addressing when they say 'old'?
Are they talking 40-50s? Or grandma age?

Old is a very relative broad term.
In the eyes of a 14 year old someone who's 28 is old.

Cat gets it....

Men don't actually give a shlt about women's accomplishments.

They don't care about confidence, knowing what they want or need, what they stand for or her inner strength.

They want peace and virtue.

Older woman r more matured & can read better mind of man and also when the lights r switched off, it all depend upon the orifice dia

If you have no interest in a potential partner, then get a blow-up doll.
Aside from that, what you say is total nonsense. Men are interested in that. Men who are beyond the blow-up doll level and are seriously seeking a great partner that is.

Like all glittering generalities, there's little truth in this one.

🤣

Blow up dolls give a lot less back talk and don't spend your money!

Keep telling yourself what men are interested in...I'm a guy - what do I know?

- men don't date for status. If he does, it's only based on her being hot. He or his friends couldn't give 2 shlts if she has a PHD or how successful she is. He gains points when she's hot, loses points if she's a ho. Gains points when she's pleasant, loses points if she's combative.

- women don't share their money with men, so why would he care about how much doh she makes. Women don't offer to pay for first dates - if we want equality, why is that? Some will say chivalry, I may say she's stingy if she's so successful and doesn't want to share.

- What she stands for, inner strength, and knowing what they want is another way of sayin she's a potential pain in the azz and a guy won't find peace. A man needs to lead, and he can't do that effectively if he doesn't have submission

When you realize men and women ARE different, you'll come to the conclusion that what we value will be different as well. There will be common values, of course - but the priorities will be significantly different.

I don't think many men are interested in that.. Men and women think so differently.

Where can I find a sale price on a good pitchfork?
There's enough manure (my wife used to laugh out loud every time I said that word) here to keep a person mucking out the stalls for a month.

hahaha Your wife´s lawyer!!

This is an interesting and highly interactive topic, almost every possible perspective has been discussed. However, after years of navigating the dating scene, I find it incredibly fascinating to interact with younger women, watching them explore their boundaries and interests, recover from failures, and try again. Older women, on the other hand, have already gone through these stages.

In short, whether you're interested in the "process" or the "result," both are enjoyable and equally rewarding. I could even make a table about it, haha.

Thanks to bobtail76 who stated his "facts", then the fun began, soufiehere, peterb, and Jerome the giraffe

I understand the point you’re trying to make, but I have to disagree respectfully.

Not all men are the same, and many of us—especially younger guys who choose older women—do care about more than just looks, peace, or “virtue.”
Some of us actually value maturity, emotional stability, and real connection.

A lot of younger men prefer older women for reasons that have nothing to do with blow-up-doll fantasies. In fact, it’s usually the opposite

Interesting point about process and results. I can agree with this. But then you are comparing women into 2 categories - "for fun only", and "for long term success"

As for my "facts". There are only facts. Nothing makes them mine.

Any dude that would take the older version of the same woman is a liar. The only exception to this, is if the woman is way too young. And even then they would take the minimum amount of years to make it appropriate.

I have yet to hear a guy say "you know, I know you're 40 - if you were only 60 we could be together"

Older Women Have Experienced More Than Younger women. Give Younger Women a Break They are Still Learning. They Have to Learn Somewhere. That's Why younger Women Like older Men To Learn From Their Experience. I may be wrong but it is Just My Opinion.

Not to be disagreeable bobtail, but in this instance you've just run into someone who's said those very words to a younger "girl" - many times in truth.
As a bartender for a decade in my younger days young'uns would literally throw themselves (as in open a "wrap" dress and unabashedly display everything that they thought they had to offer) at the guy who served them drinks all night & by transference made them "happy" that night.

Sad to see really, because with a few more years of experience on 'em they'll finally come to understand what a man like me, even in my 20s, REALLY wants in any real relationship.
I wasn't responsible for their "happiness", overindulgence in alcohol was, which is an issue with me from the git.

Maybe I'm an outlier (I am a "high potential" person who might encroach on the autistic curve on a far end as a result of being born "high potential") but over the years, after dissociating with guys who stayed stuck in the high school mentality, I've met more that a few adult men who choose and appreciate maturity in a woman.
Looks fade, brains - for the most part - do not.
You aren't in love with a skin suit, f/f/s, you fall in love with the person who lives inside it.

Even as a teenager I always found myself attracted to women somewhat older than me and eventually married a younger one only 2 years older than me.
In no way did it hurt that she was totally out of my league in every way, but it wasn't for her incredible beauty that I instantly fell in love with her.
To this day, more than a half century later, I still do not know why she decided to make me a lottery winner and the luckiest man on earth.

Because they are emotionally mature, available and well-experienced

They come with much more wisdom
