There are many many reasons and most of them to do with getting or hoping to get fun and sexual advantage for themselves..
I am not going to be able to do justice to the subject here as I don't want to type reams so please excuse the brevity
1 reason is the perception younger men have that older women are desperate - they believe that older women don't get much male attention and this makes them easy pickings
2 is that they believe they are doing the woman a favour and that she will be soooo flattered she will easily agree to sexual favours
3) is the idea younger men have that THEY are ultra hot compared to the older woman so there's power in that, again the lady might well feel she has to give more to please this self-proclaimed hot guy
4) the younger guy has the perception that older women, (perhaps because of their perceived desperation) are happy to give sex/favours without expecting to date, be taken out etc.. therefore easy sexual favours with little effort on the guys part..
5) the younger guy has the perception (not necessarily erroneously) that older women are more relaxed in bed, more experienced - some guys like the idea of being 'taught' while benefitting from free sex etc
6) Again buying into the perception of desperation and experience - younger men can perceive that older women are more willing to do wilder things in bed.
7) Some younger, (and older! ) men can buy into the idea that generally speaking older women tend to be more submissive when it comes to men, generally we were taught to be nurturing, caring, and to please men.. that can be a bonus if there's a perception that older women will be more manipulatable, more giving, less likely to say no, less assertive and perhaps (feeling self-conscious about their age) more likely to say yes
Of course that's not to say that some younger men don't genuinely have a thing for much older women.. some do.. but by far the vast majority have no idea how many young guys pester older women and are looking to get pics/sextalk or something else sexual from the older woman based on the perceptions above

@hartfire Some men realize they should stick with youger women because these men couldn't handle a confident, sexy, adventurous older woman. Young women worship older men who can tell them how to behave. What to wear. How to please these men. These men like princesses in the daytime and turn them into sluts in their beds at night. For the record, I am neither royalty nor easy pickings.

Why should they have to defend finding older women attractive ?
If someone approaches you and you don’t trust their motives, don’t date them. My friend (my age) is dating a 40 year old. He clearly finds her attractive—as do many men, actually.
Nobody questions women that closely when they find older men attractive. If he’s much older, it’s assumed he has money, but other than that...

@hartfire So basically you are speaking of two men ? And based upon them any man who expresses an interest in older women is suspect ?
I see. But it’s the kind of assessment that makes many older women feel like their lives are over. If we’re that disgusting, why would any men be interested, regardless of age ? And yet some still are.

Yes, it has been two men, both friends in my literary circles.
Sorry, Bijoux, but I'd like to make something about these two incidents a bit more clear. Neither man has ever shown any sign that he found me or any other older woman attractive. They don't flirt with them, date them - nothing.
Their statements were incongruent with their body language, and with all their other patterns of behaviour.
They are the only two men I've ever encountered who made any claim to find older women attractive - so the claim itself is rare.
Many older women do feel their dating lives are over from about the time they hit 53, roughly when the evidence of menopause starts to show on the face. I've heard them discuss it on radio and TV. Occasionally my women friends talk about it.
In the area where I live, 51% are women, 30% of these are over 60. Of those I know, only one, my friend Dede, found love at 70 and married her 80 year old.
I realise that it is false logic to generalise anything from just two incidents.
But my question is really asking, in this particular kind of situation when someone is obviously lying, what motivates them?
(Do they even realise how obvious the lie is? Do they realise that their body language and behaviour is what tells the truth?)

@hartfire I have noticed this too and I think maybe its just a fetish kind of thing, not real but something that people copy one to the other.
Older women want someone THEY can relate to.
Younger men often have trouble with women their own age so they make a judgment re: whats most important in life.
and if it to get laid they will redouble their efforts at getting laid.
The older women get hit on next.
ALL MEN OVER 40 ARE DOING THIS NOW
Reason: Life is just too hard to stop looking when we are dumped, the search must go on...supposedly.
Have money, continue search. More men are in this position than women hence more men looking for inappropriate partners than women looking 4 inappropriate partners, although they often get one, sought or not.
Personally I have stopped looking and not because it ever worked even partways. It never worked at all.

My friend is seven years older than me an i am 62. I don't notice the age. We eat together and most other things. I have another friend who is my age and has lost her teeth. We talk often. She luves an hour away. She was my first love. I don't see the age. She's still the new girl sitting behind me in english class and next to me on the bus.

So, are you saying all ladies past 60 are ugly and time to put them out to pasture
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@hartfire theres a big difference in finding someone attractive and wanting a relationship with them. Heck, think of many older actors that are most definitely very beautiful/ attractive and we can appreciate that they are still gorgeous.....surely you get that?
That does not mean however you'd want to be in a relationship with them.
I think your point here is more 'why would a younger guy want a relationship with an older woman' and has nothing to do with how she looks.
Heck....if ya fancy someone.... its chemistry.... not choice...lol.

I knew a young man who kept insisting on a relationship with an older woman 20 years older!!!
He was handsome but had been rejected by women his age.... so it might be a matter of finding someone who cares mutually for you. I can handle a 10 year difference. But unless he’s over 50 and I’m 70, I don’t think so. Lol. And if I’m 70 and he wants me, it’s the money he’s after. Although my mom is 85 and I think she’s the prettiest of all!

@Elevatorpitches The anime image certainly doesn't match a male of 31-35.
and the username "Rokasu" means a traditional Japanese garment worn around the neck of Zen Buddhists who have taken the precepts.
From his comments, either he hasn't taken the precepts, or he's playing up.
Either way, I take the incongruence as a sign not to take the comments seriously.
If I reply seriously, it's not for his sake, but for the others that might read it.

I understand exactly what you are saying. First off there are a very few young men that do find over 60 attractive but most of these are into fetish. I personally find older women very pretty but obviously in a different way than a smoking hot 21 year old.
I get what you are asking.
No I do not believe that most young men would want sex with over 60 woman. People online say many things for various reasons. Becareful.
Take care.

@REMsleep Thanks for your thoughtful and honest reply.
Yeah - I never have trusted the online thing - which is why I've posted serious warnings on my profile. Fortunately, they have proved effective and I rarely get hassled.
My post is really about two experiences in real life (i.e., rare) in which both guys were obviously lying (their body language and behaviour was incongruent).
Since I wouldn't expect an honest answer if I asked them, "why lie?" - I thought asking in this forum might be more likely to attract good guesses - or even someone who has lied and is willing to say why under the cloak of anonymity.

@hartfire also most people shy away from discussing the sado mascochistic aspect
Its so easy to ridicule an older woman trying to make up for lost time
Rarely in our society is anything so ridiculous to see.
Except such woman looking JUST LIKE THE MENFOLK for ANYTHING including the nocturnal pleasures, supposedly...... and thats deplorable.
and many women don't care.
Makes me LOATHE being female.
(not "A female" ....that's for people who are REALLY afraid of all women and call them "females" just to dehumanize them!!!!)

@REMsleep That's quite an interesting video.
I don't doubt that this young man is for real - but I think the documentary video was made precisely because someone like him is rare enough to be bizarre - not bad, wrong or in any way worthy of negative judgements - just bizarre.
What is also clear is that his relationships with them are predominantly sexual, that the ones he likes best are also friends, but that he;s very reluctant to commit to an intimate relationship with one person. This suggests that he's not particularly interested in the benefits of their maturity of mind. If he ever did commit, would he be happy to nurse them through the last four years of their lives?
Would he be happy to never have kids of his own?
He reminds me of a palomino stallion I once knew. If a chestnut, palomino or cremello mare passed him, he would go crazy with excitement. If a mare of any other colour passed, even if in full oestrus, he would show no response.
It's a fetish, a classic Pavlovian conditioned reflex.
