So what do people really think about the older woman younger man? I'm 42 and have been asked out by mostly 32 year olds but recently a 26 year old. I've been told that I look around 34-36 and am always completely upfront with my age. My thoughts are if you if you click and have that instant attraction then it's worth a look in but... (typical librian) there's always the other side...questions which seem to outweigh the scales

i think that if you're interested in these men, then who cares what others think? i'm the "older" woman in my relationship....by 5 months 😉

almost any opportunity is worth a shot...

sweetie, you gotta forget about people you know - if you're bothered about what people say or think or if age is a question mark to you personally, then wouldn't be the best idea...if you don't care too much about public opinion then go for it ! age's really nothing in the long run

I was bothered by it at first but found that most men my age either were unavailable/detached or didnt take care of themselves as I do, so I wasn't interested. The only available men on offer of late are younger. I'm over it now but just want to hear others opinions. I got alsorts of reactions from co-workers but mostly good! Thanks

Women in the 35-45 range have a lot of life experience and have seen and been through enough to have confidence in who they are and just go with the flow of life and their desires a lot like men in their mid to late twenties. This in my experience is why a sexual attraction can be so functional between the two.

the guy is relieved of the pressure of being a provider and the woman is relieved of the pressure of being feeling needed.
