    Why on earth do you think 60 year old wrinkly fat bald men get 21 year old girls?

    Even if it were “natural,” there’s nothing innocent or harmless or healthy about older men pursuing ceaselessly younger women. The cost is high to everyone involved. While a few young women may be attracted to much older guys (often because they falsely imagine themselves to be “so much more mature” than “other girls” their age) .What do you think?

      It doesn't seem to be a problem in the Philippines.  But I get what you're saying.  If women that young are attracted to older men in that age range, you have to wonder why they don't go for a 60-year-old man who looks like John Stamos instead.

    One of two possibilities... he's either rich as hell, or he's got a huge organ.

      Maybe the first possibility,because woman are biologically hotwired to choose a partner that is going to be best able to provide just as men are biologically hotwired to be attracted to women who are most likely to provide healthy offspring.

    I've dated older men and it had nothing to do with money or the size of their organs.  I have never been a shallow person or superficial so some of the men I've dated, would probably scare some of you. lol  I have always been very sensitive to a man's aura, or his energy when he's around me.  Numbers never mattered and still don't.  I can date a much older man like I can date a much younger one.   

    Being able to engage in stimulating conversation, listening to stories about a world I was never born in or experienced was addicting to me. I loved listening to stories and learning about life from someone who's already been there, done that.

    Of course there has to be some sort of physical attractiveness, I agree but that depends on the person and how they treat me, how I feel around them.   

    Older men are wonderful, gentle, secure in themselves, intelligent, experienced, they don't play games or have drama in their lives.  Their kids are grown, they are probably retired or financially stable (I'm not saying rich here, just financially mature).  These are the same qualities a younger man looks for in an older woman.   

    Plus, older men are attracted to younger women just as most men are attracted to younger women;  they have a natural instinct to reproduce.  The one with the wider hips will be more attractive because she's viewed as a better child bearer.  Look it up.

    I guess I'm coming in defense of the older gentleman because I love all men and just because he's 60, doesn't mean he's out of shape.  I know a lot of men over 60 who would put any man half his age to shame. 

    Maybe we need to stop stereotyping people because of their age and assuming that just because a woman is with an older man, he has to have money or a big member.  Maybe he's just a sweet man who knows how to treat her with respect, loyalty and love.  Maybe they are happy together and that's all we should concern ourselves with.

      Dear cleaner, I agree with you. Attraction is not based on finance(money) or in age preference. It is based on mental attraction, it may occur due to nice words, helps, friendship and so many such ground. Old people will, I think, more trust worthy.

    while its outside the norm,.... i think a great many of us need to grow up,.... i know many 60 year old men that have a great deal to offer,.... none of which has anything to do with $$$ or "size".... if the boys of the world are angry because the hot girl choose the old fart over the young stud,.... perhaps they should take a long hard look (pun intended) at the old fart and see just exactly what it is that atracted the hot young lady,....... more than likely it was a maturity level that men in thier 20's flat out dont posses these days,.... its possible that he takes the time to listen,..... it could be that he has his life in order and isnt wrapped up in a continuous string of jr high drama moments,.............

    never underestimate the knowledge and wisdom that 60 years brings to the table,........ of course having a fat bank account and an Rx for viagra doesnt hurt,...... but if the fling becomes a bonifide relationship,..... theres more to it than sex and money.

    besides boys,...... you'll be 60 some day,.... and I ASSURE YOU...... you will be asking this question from a compleetely different perspective.

      LOL!  A 60-year-old man who has a 21-year-old wife doesn't likely need Viagra.  While he is still under 65 years of age (the main eligibility age for social security) and his father is still alive, he likely doesn't see himself as an old man yet.

    Good question. I do believe it has to do with the Oedipal Complex (for boys) and Electra Comples (for girls). For those that are not aware, it's when a woman tries to find her father in older men because those girls feel desire for their fathers and jealousy for their mothers. It has to do with growing up and getting roles confused because of the complexities in the family relationships.

    I have a young neighbour (32-33) who married a man she fell in love with over the Internet; he's my age (around 50-and unattractive) and her dad is 59. She seems happy and to truly love this man--they have a baby too. Some of these mature men have greater understanding because they have already been 'though the process' others happen to have status and still others a pocket book to match their age. Each young lady has her individual reasons.
    Once I had fallen in love with a man about 15 years older than me. He swept me off my feet with his charms & his deep blue eyes (I was 21 and he 36). He left and I ended up marrying an even better man only 2 years older than me (tall dark & handsome). In my case, it was just 'chemistry'.
    PS
    For you gents that comment about 'size', know that it matters only in cheap Adult films and in male minds. Women function differently.

      I think 10 or 15 years difference is not much if you are especially in the thirtieth.Satisfying women has nothing to do with size.takes more than height to make a great basketball player, and more than biceps to make a standout football star.

      Yeah, but what I notice is that these 60-year-old men with a 21-year-old wife or girlfriend have a certain sense of humility.   On the other hand, these glamor boys who are popular all throughout adolescence and marry their high-school sweetheart at age 19 or 20 are flamboyant and like to brag about themselves and boast about how young they started their marriage and family.  It's like a Tony-Danza-style ego trip for them.  They ruin high-school reunions for everyone else.

    James-wolve,
    It is the question of attraction. To attract each other or two mind,  AGE is not at all a constraints. They may have enjoy the sweetness of life which no one else can give. The young lady find love, satisfaction, trust, and all such what she need.
    The sex and love, it is depend up on personal choice. And it is wrong to think that only young and youth can satisfy woman. Physical strength is different and between man and woman mental satisfaction is more important and I think woman gives more  importance in this regard.
    Any way let us congratulate the man at 60+ who are lucky win a young woman's heart.

    I find your question offensive and stereotypical.

    Your statement is full of judgment -- "even if it were 'natural'," "nothing innocent or harmless or healthy."

    I married my wife for love. Do you really know what that means? Or are you one of those who only thinks of lust?

    We are spiritually connected. We would answer each other's thoughts. We would get online at the same time, despite a 9 hour difference, sometimes at 3 o'clock in the morning.

    I'm not rich. She's smart -- valedictorian in high school with a college scholarship. I'm not too shabby myself -- bachelors degree summa cum laude.

    The only unnatural thing is other people's judgment and ignorance.

    Ouch. There are some pretty judgmental and stereotypical answers on here. And some by people I thought were pretty open-minded and cool. 

    I married someone who is 28 years older than myself. And no, he didn't have any money. Just a working guy, with the average amount of working guy debts. The first time we met, it was like old friends meeting. Like we had always known each other. We were neighbors and friends for a few years, then realized that it gone way past friendship.

    We are coming up on four years together, and haven't had a single fight. I know a lot of same-age couples that are already divorced before they hit the two year mark. So why is that more acceptable and attractive?

    I really do not have an answer, but I do have an extension to the question:

    Is it the fact that the lady is 21 that seems to be the issue?
    AND
    Is there a time when it is more acceptable for there to be such an age difference? 

    For example:  70-40 or 80-50?

    I am 55 and my partner is 26 and I can assure you she has more money then I have, (does that make me the prostitute then?) we have been together for five years and have had our ups and downs like most couples, we have different tastes in music, films, food, drinks and hobbies, but for some reason the relationship works very well, if you could tell me why she pursued me for weeks I would be eternally grateful because I would bottle it and sell it.
    There are a few other things I don't quite understand either so maybe with your font of all wisdom you could help me out, why is it her family have accepted me without any bad feeling, why do they see me as part of the family even though I am older than her own father?

    Most of the older men I've met are more intellectual. They can discuss a wide variety of topics with anyone. They also have much more fascinating life stories than many younger guys I know. Younger guys tell stories about their drunk driving or tell stories about their shallowness. Older guys can tell stories of the variety of jobs they've done, their hobbies, their appreciation of art or their wide knowledge of decades of music and they're much better at listening and are more polite. I've never dated an especially older guy than myself but I did go out with a guy once who was eight years older than me and he was much more smooth and comfortable with himself than all the younger guys I've dated. He also opened doors for me and treated me like a human being instead of in a sexist rude way like many younger guys do.
    Bottom line though, if two people are consenting and of legal age it doesn't matter if they want to fall in love. I don't think it's harmful to anyone as long as the girl is of legal age.

      We get it, Rochelle.  You're not a Hugh Hefner fan.  The problem here I'm having with your school of thought is that many women find nothing wrong when it's a young man with a cougar even when the young man is 18 and the older woman is 70 years old.  It's like a Joan Collins thing.  It's also a double standard.
