What do you mean by that exactly? Example?
[–]iron_ee 11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Don’t act your age, match their level of maturity. Brush off/tease back if they comment about your age. Pretty sure most older guys steer clear from younger women because they don’t know what they want, are insecure, imature, you get my point.

I’m 39,but i really do like someone slightly older than me,but i do not limiting myself at certain numbers of age,because we never know our fate.My advice to you:You just haven’t meet the right person yet,don’t worry about your situations right now,try living in the moment(mindfullness) and always to improve yourself in any area of your life and when the time is right,the best person will come to your life and everything will fall into place.You got this!

Personally, I think it's a little unrealistic to expect a guy 20+ years older than you to settle down with you and play house. And even if they did, there'd be a huge disparity in maturity level that would be difficult for even the most sincere relationship to overcome.
Tbh OP, you're just asking to be taken advantage of. It's one thing for a girl your age to want to mess around with older guys, but wanting a relationship with them puts you in an even more subservient position, and not in a kinky way, but in an unsafe way.
This reminds me a little bit of the old internet story of the self-admitted gold digger asking why she can't lock down a rich man, and a rich man replies saying "what do you bring to the table that matches what I could give you? Sure you're hot but that's a depreciating asset that makes me want to rent rather than buy."
But if you want to be taken seriously by older men, my advice would be learn to handle your own life. Men want to make it official with women who have value outside of sex and aren't needy. In fact, if you could combine some maturity and self-possession with the "submissive cutie" traits that drive men to younger women, you could be a force to be reckoned with.
But please be careful. Older men will treat you like shit if you let them.
[–]xoxo2413 -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I know all of this to be true, but only for women who aren’t in it for the right reasons to begin with.
I’m worth way more and I’m doing a lot more than women half my age are doing. Very intelligent, and I can bring a lot to the table other than my good looks and great sex... and these men know that but I’ve been kind of letting what I want slide and they’ve gotten a bit too comfortable with it.
I won’t make that mistake again with any man, rather he’s my age or not.

[–]_donkenstein_ 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm in your target age range and am looking for something long term with a girl in her 20's. Not all men my age are just looking for sex. To be honest, it seem that most of the younger girls are just experimented with older men. Keep looking...... eventually you'll run across the right man.

Not true, I’ve messed with older men who wanted a serious relationship with me... I just didn’t want one with those certain men. & a provider? That’s a mans job! He’s supposed to provide and protect his woman, is he not?
That’s what my father and the men in my family taught me. If a man isn’t submitting and providing for his woman, and the woman isn’t submitting and providing for her man... then the relationships worthless.
& that goes for any man regardless of his age.

Find different men
[–]BlancheCorbeau 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just... talk to them. The thing you are attracted to is these men know how to be themselves, and aren’t trying as hard to impress everyone.
Be like that. Be clear and ask for what you want, no weasel words or make them go first bullshit. You’ll find your guy if you do that.
It won’t even take long or be difficult. They’re out there, just waiting for you to be ready.
[–]heavensanus 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Are you sure you're communicating your wants properly? You used the word "nagging" in place of expressing and that tells you may not be communicating clearly.
I was recently in a semi serious relationship with a 22 yo (I'm 33) and although at times she gave me the impression that she wanted to be more serious, she never did communicate that to me. I, and many other men believe that it is the woman's place to initiate that conversation.
you’re right. I do need to express what I want more.
[–]Cold_Application6193 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Be up front with what you want and don’t be afraid to not give I. To what they want until you get some of what you want! Don’t be afraid to blow them off a little until you have some of your needs met! You have to show them that your serious, not just use words and not give in!

I don’t like dating men my age. They’re almost NEVER into the same things that I’m into so it’s even harder for me to connect with them on any kind of level.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 12 points13 points14 points 5 years ago (32 children) | Copy Link
As a man in his 40s, the other commenter is right. I’d date a 20-30yo just for fun and good vibes, but I wouldn’t seek any serious relationship. They technically might be my daughter and, despite 20-something people are way more “freshy” than a woman of my age, For me it would be hard to have a meaningful interaction, our life topics are somewhat too different: job seniority, health issues, ex-wives/kids.
Just my 2 cents
[–]xoxo2413 -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (31 children) | Copy Link
that’s the weird part for me, you couldn’t be serious romantically... yet it’s easy sexually?
That’s so backwards and if you think about it a bit fucked up lol There are 22 year olds out here who can handle all that you’ve explained and then some. Haven’t given it a chance so you can’t stand on it until you try the next step.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (18 children) | Copy Link
You’d be amazed by how many 20-something I met or approached me in clubs. The point is that, at least for me, the conversation dies pretty quickly because I get bored. 15-20+ years is usually a huge gap for a serious relationship.
I’m talking about life, experiences, goals and plans. A 40+ years person has already built some background, is (almost) in his middle-age. A 20-something is starting his/her adult life right now, what kind of topics might bring then?
Of course, there are exceptions on both sides, but this is a matter of numbers: 90% is like I said.
Also, as others have already pointed out, a 50-something in a relationship with a 20yo should be taken as a red flag. 30 years of difference, is a ratio of 2.5:1 in terms of life experience.
[–]xoxo2413 -3 points-2 points-1 points 5 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link
I understand this ( but I’ve seen older men be with younger women and they love each other... everyone look up Nikki & Chris on YouTube ) I’m not saying this as a “I want it because they have it” or because “I have deep daddy issues” or because of anything else other than because I genuinely am attracted to older men just as much as I am to men my age. It can work, and yes some older men can be weird af but so are men my age.
I’ve met older men who I could sit with for hours and discuss matters that we’re both interested in, and still have an amazing time together. So your statement only applies to your bad experiences, but I’m just letting you know that if you feel comfortable enough to fuck a 22 year old... and not be with them? Then maybe you shouldn’t be fucking them.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link
No offense, but I think my life experience is much more wider, deeper and “lived” than your youtube-based/fantasizing/anecdotal one.
When I was your age, you weren’t born yet. While you were growing up, I was traveling the world, making a career, having a family etc
About sex: having sex is easy, keeping a convo that I could find interesting everyday is much harder. Sure, you can talk for hours with someone older than you, maybe it looks like he understands everything you say and has a meaningful answer to give. Easy, right? But... are you able to have same effect on someone really older than you?
Try to date a 15-17yo, a cool/cute one, with great body and all the physical things you want from a male. You think he’s really fuckable. Then, try to build a romantic relationship with him. Good luck
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago* (15 children) | Copy Link
I wouldn’t fuck a 15-17 year old A. That’s illegal and B. how could I even be sexually attracted to something that isn’t even developed yet mentally?
It’s weird and nasty.
& if that’s how you think of it... then why would you fuck them?
It would be as if you’re having sex with a child? ( which isn’t true at all ) which is why it’s not illegal. Age has nothing to do with anything once you’re of legal age, the person on the other hand does. & clearly I just end up choosing the wrong men lol
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
Put aside the legal stuff, I was making an example about how does it feel. I know a lot of guys which are physically and mentally mature to have sex, but not enough to be considered a man.
But, I’d like to ask you the same question: do you feel mentally developed compared to a man with 20-30 years more than you? Do you really know how an adult relationship “usually” works? Do you think you know the usual needs (in terms of fun, life, work, love, sex, etc) of a 40-50 years old person? People at that age has already built something, they’re at a later stage of life. You’ve just started your journey.
And again, if I’m in a club, dancing and having fun, then I get approached by (or just grind with) someone on the dance floor, and stuff just happens, a kiss here, an hug there, some easy banter and you wake up in bed with someone you met last night. That’s not the same of purposely approach/chase a young girl.
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
That makes sense, and some of your points are valid... but to answer your question yes. I know how an adult relationship “usually” works. The way that “usually” looks is different for everyone.
Regardless if he’s 35... or in his 50s.
Maturity has no age once you’re legal. It’s all about timing, and what you and the other person wants and can bring into the relationship. Play your cards right and you’ll get what you need and want.
If a relationship in general is something you’re not looking for then regardless of age, that’s you just wanting to fuck.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Oh, to reply about relationship Vs sex: sex is mostly based on our (animal) instincts, once two people are adult and with reciprocal consent, having sex is just physical. It might happen randomly once (or it becomes a FWB), but it doesn’t involve anything else.
Relationships are a totally different league, and it’s even more different in the various stages of life. At 20, 30, 40, 50 years people has different mindsets, goals, needs (along with achievements).
Just a simple example: I took my university degree in early 2004, when you probably were at the kindergarten, had kids in 2013 when you where in high school. Now, if we met in a club, we might have enough chemistry to have some fun (not necessarily sex, but why not?). I might appreciate/esteem/care about you/etc... but the chances I might fall in love for someone your age are close to zero.
I’ve already been there, already done that.
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Sex is not just physical, it may be for you... but for women of all ages it’s not. & of course you know that it’s not just a physical thing.
So you being able to have sex with a woman half your age but not look into anything further rather the sex is consensual or not, is selfish and a bit weird and it does not make you a man. You knew what you were doing and know that in the long run you may possibly hurt the person you claim to “care” about.
You’re not an animal lol, you’re a MAN and your instinct should be to protect and provide. Even an animal knows to protect and provide.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
When it happened to have sex with 20-somethings the context were clubs, festival and sometimes concerts. In those contexts I’m not asking their age or life questions, lol
In everyday contexts I don’t chase them at all, because I know they usually don’t bring relationship material for me.
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I don’t talk to men in clubs, let along attend clubs, festivals or concerts much... so that’s not it.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
That’s your own anecdotal, 20-something, experience, indeed. Facts need to be contextualized. The fact that I fucked young gilrs happened in a club/festival context, where there isn’t much room for deep conversations.
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Then that’s your fault, change your scenery/choice of women and you’ll find that there are plenty of 22 year olds with experience in all categories.
Regardless of their age ( same with men )
I don’t think the problem was ever age, but of the men I chose to try and be serious with. Most of these men were divorced for a reason, had no business messing with them in the first place and that’s my fault.

[–]roxanreveals 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Trust me. Anyone that says “older guys are more mature” or anything close to that, 9/10 has a deeper issue. It’s not in our anatomy to be attracted to something significantly younger than us. Do you see older lions with a lioness who just stepped out on her own? No. The same applies with humans. I agree with @yoooitsjoee ... are there some exceptions to the rule?? Of course theere always are but please do not waste your young years purposely picking over men your age because you think they don’t have anything to offer. Some older men prey on women like you to rob them of their youth. Don’t think you are smarter or more mature than the men closer to your age.
[–]xoxo2413 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
wow that’s deep, I can a agree with you both... it does sometimes feel as if they’re trying to just tell me what I want to hear so that they can have sex with me.. but I have met some older men who genuinely want what I want. ( I’m not with them because I just didn’t think they were the ones for me ) but you’re right. Maybe I should try being with men who are closer to my age. Might find a guy who enjoys the same things that I do.
[–]roxanreveals 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This is a fear of mine and why I stray away from older men. I have this weird idea that they are very experienced sexually and are almost trying to turn me out. I’d rather grow with someone closer to my age.
[–]xoxo2413 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I agree with you completely, but I have seen people work out with men half there age. I’m not saying that it’s all I’m into, because I’m attracted to both men my age and men older than me. I just know now that I need to voice out my expectations rather sooner than later & if I see red flags... then I should leave before things get too deep.
[–]xoxo2413 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It’s okay Joe, I respect your opinion and you’ve made some valid points. I do believe it to be a bit weird that a man would have sex with a 22 year old but not be in a relationship with them? That’s strange... but not all older men are like that.
now men who ONLY date younger... yea they’re just trying to control and fuck on something young. Which is extremely weird!
but yes there are men who date both half there age and women that are closer to age, and they’re just focused on the connection more than anything. Which I sincerely believe to be genuine. Just haven’t ran into that kind of man yet for me lol both my age and older.
But we’ll cross paths one day. Just needed to cut off the bullshiters lol and didn’t really know how without sounding like a nag.

A good man. A real man. Would never date a young woman especially at 35-50. That's just me. I don't think it's right.
You don’t think it’s right, that doesn’t mean men who do it are not “real men.” Pretty much the only time I hear people talk like this it’s because they’re bitter or jealous.
If a younger woman wants to date an older guy, and an older guy wants to date a younger woman, that’s completely their choice.

Be mature, grown up, with drive motivation and goals yet still keep that happy & fun vibe, thats what works with me and younger girls.
yea I’m a pretty chill person, who keeps my goals to myself. I can be fun, but it really takes a fun and genuine man to bring that side out.
I met an older man in Downtown Atlanta and we had the most fun that I’ve had in years with anyone! He wanted me to be his girlfriend but I couldn’t during the time. So I know that the man for me is out there, we just need to match each others energy for sure and make sure we want the same thing as far as a potential future together.

There are men in this group who shame other men for dating younger women?
Wow, so if a 35-40 year old woman dates a 20-25 year old man is she less of a woman?
I don’t think so, it’s all about people’s perspectives.
Some people don’t mind it... some people do, but you won’t catch me being with nobody under my age at all! Let along having sex with them?
Now if you could see yourself with a man younger than you more than just sexually then do your thing girl. I can’t judge.
Your doing nothing wrong, it’s American culture. This is normal throughout the world and for the vast majority of human history.
I BELIVE the biggest issue is social shaming of those men,they would feel awkward being too serious because society now days says that it’s gross. Just like women are slut shamed,many men are looked at wierd now days if they have a young woman.
Your not doing anything wrong.You just haven’t found the right guy.
I’m 35 ,I’d date a 22 year old. And I’d consider something serious if she was a loyal, sincere and healthy woman with similar values.
However if you behave like a kiddy ,Tik tok watching brat, then I couldn’t have a serious relationship.

I’m a 23 year old man and I have a on going fling with a 49 year old lady. I would never ever be in a relationship with her. Older man might be your fancy but young guys have it going on too. Not every young guy is full of shit you have to find them. Be realistic honey age doesn’t make you mature, experience does. The same shitbag at 23 is the shit bag at 45 only thing that changed is now he has a gut. Forget age and find out what you really want in a Man don’t be bias. Women rejected me because I’m young for them but their love life is non existent. People don’t like taking risks some do hence the lady m messing with. Do some soul searching
I don’t JUST go for older men.

They have more to lose. What would their kids, friends, and exes say when they moved their 22 year old girlfriend in with them? If he's a good guy, he keeps all these relationships in mind when he's making choices. Give it a few more years and it will be a different story. If you're looking to settle down do it with someone 10 years older, not 20.
I like this. Thank you ♥️

The brain doesn’t finish developing before the age of 25. You are too young to get married.
Married? who said that?
... we don’t rush into marriages over here.
Marriage, long term commitment, whatever is you want from older men, have you ever asked yourself why? Focus on yourself, and your dreams. The right person will come along.
I do everyday.
Because you’re young and immature to them.
but not immature enough to have sex with? lol they weird.
No, you’re weird for dating guys twice your age and wondering why they won’t get serious with you. I’m closer to your age but I’d never date a 50 year old woman seriously.
and that’s your preference, and if you think I’m weird for mine... there was no need for you to comment because regardless I’m not going to change it because I know that there are good older men out there who take younger women seriously lol
There was also no need for you to make this post but we’re here aren’t we.

You can definitely find guys with similar demeanor at a younger age, just much harder to find. Most guys around your age wont be as confident and carefree and bold. But they do exist. See if you can find people who've been through a lot. The more someone experiences the more confident they become. They'll probably be more compassionate if they've been through a lot too.

Would you elaborate on what "being taken seriously" means to you? What makes you feel that you are not being taken seriously? What would make you feel like you are being taken seriously?
[–]xoxo2413 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
not being lied to, and actually being treated as if I’m a human and not some sex object. People lie and think I’m stupid lol
[–]bandsupjay 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Ur being treated as a sex object because ur delusional and don’t have any values
I have values, it’s just hard for me to set boundaries because I can become such a people pleaser at times.
& neither’s healthy.
[–]asph100 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This was going to be my next question - how are your boundaries. I think that's your answer.
There's a saying - there's a plan for your life. Either it's yours or it's someone else's. Similarly, there are rules in your life. Are they your rules or are they someone else's?
If you're not enforcing your boundaries, you are sending the message that your boundaries and, by extension, you are not to be respected.
If you start enforcing your boundaries, and the people you know cannot handle that, then you now know who is not going to respect you, and you have to decide if they have a place in your life.
Once they're gone, the people who will replace them are the respect the boundaries that you enforce.
I’ve been setting some for sure. People are leaving, and that’s fine.

Lol what do you mean neither’s healthy what are you talking about. If you had self respect, knew your self worth and had standards for yourself none of this would take place. I don’t care what excuses u make, anyone with a strong personality and knows themselves doesnt let shit like this happen to them
very true.

I sometimes date girls your age and even though there have been some that really impress me in their ambition and emotional maturity work ethic and other things I will never take them serious for a relationship. I feel like there are certain natural phases we go through in life and even though we all go through them at different speeds and some people get stuck in some, it’s not a good thing to be with someone that’s on a totally different level in life experience, you can be having the same interests and journey of self development but you as a 22 year old will still have a different perfective and in my opinion it is always more limited, sort of like you would look at a 13 year old right now and because you have been there, while they think they are going through all kinds of unique experiences and struggles, you know exactly where they are at and what they are feeling and it becomes impossible to have an equal level relationship and it quickly becomes a teacher student or a manipulative relationship
It’s not the same at all. I would never have sexual relations let along a relationship with someone younger than me.
so if you wouldn’t even have a relationship with someone younger than you.. why would you have sex with them? That’s manipulative within itself, especially since you know they’ll more than likely get hooked.

I am very open about this from the start, so why wouldn’t I have sex, I know this is like the opposite of what a lot of people think but I think two consenting adults can enjoy sex, but I think a healthy relationship is probably usually not possible. Where’s the manipulative part in that?
you know good and well that 9 times out of 10 if a 22 year old woman is having sex with you... and not asking for money in return... she’s probably genuinely interested in you and will most likely catch feelings. You knowing that there’s just no way that you’d take her seriously enough to even be in a relationship... should just leave the entire situation alone to save the trouble and waisted time? That would be the ADULT thing to do lol but instead you fuck and are happy with just that because at least you got what you wanted from the situation?
I’m pretty sure you utilized every situation perfectly in order to get exactly what you wanted, knowing that in the end she’d probably want more. Now if you look up the definition of Manipulation... that would be quite the example.

I feel like you are projecting something, sorry if you were treated wrong by guys, but don’t put that on me. If I tell a grown woman I am not looking for a relationship and we can just have some fun and she is up for it somehow you assume she is not getting anything from it and she is somehow a victim or not capable of making her own decisions.
I don’t think you realize that an adult is an adult ( nothing more, nothing less ) that age difference means absolutely nothing love. I’ve seen men 45+ struggle with things they should have gotten down in their 20s and still as childish as ever lol. You can’t say something just WON’T work just because you haven’t been in the position where it has.
and I wasn’t projecting, just stating what some people do.
[–]Shadow__Account 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You didn’t read my first reply, I literally touched on that and I am sure it can work but I think In general in most cases it doesn’t or it isn’t healthy
I did to.
