I think it depends on the circumstances. some men are looking for something casual, wanting to experiment w/e. Those types prolly are looking to "learn" and take advantage of an older woman's experience. But most older women are not going to be interested.

Despite what Dodo and Journeyman think, there are also young men who appreciate older women....I find the replies echoed by Dodo and Journeyman insulting and they insult a sizeable portion of the females in these forums as many of us are middle aged or older.

Many people do not really look at age....just as many don;t look at race, or hair color or what have you. And some do. I think these 2 men need to realize that it is possible to have a preference without insulting those who do not fit it. Fortunately they speak only for themselves (at least I hope they realize that). It's OK to prefer younger women but is it necessary to be insulting to those of us who are older? How would you like to read comments about how younger women don;t like older men because they all need viagra? lol

How about re-reading my previous post carefully.

I said nothing negative about older women.

I described the perception that some younger men have about older women.

They are not evil eyes, they are insightful, and see down to the heart of the matter! I don't need money from a man, and neither should he need money from me, although I would gladly give it, since money means nothing to me. To me love, honesty, caring and integrity are of the utmost value, not someone's bank account.

That so many older women say money means nothing to them; until they have been defrauded of almost every penny they have, their credit is trashed, and their children or the state has to support them is exactly why a certain percentage of younger men will pretend to be so devoted. They know they can enjoy the fruits of someone else's hard work and then when the golden years turn to the lead years when care is overwhelming they are dumped and the younger man usually comes out smelling like a rose with hidden assets that he can use to live it up as an older bachelor getting whatever his ill gotten money can buy him.

I guarantee if older women plead poverty or at least refuse to give gifts, cash, invest in businesses, or provide shelter the younger guys would move on real fast. The younger guys can tell you it is because you are a superior lover but they are hitting on the side with a younger woman or another man 90% of the time.

I've been exposed to that too, but still that kind of usury can come from an older man as well, trust me. In the end, though, it's up to us to show wisdom in dealing with any man...the only point I was making was in response to the previous statement from Willing2, which seemed to come from a total materialistic viewpoint, although he denied this being the case. And he is an older man, not a younger one! Surprise?
