Don't you guys see what is going on here?

[MrLuvr]

Older men, i.e. 30+ are becoming the "Old Maids" of this era!

The feminists, suitably supported by a willing media and in collusion with beta males everywhere have made this the case.

They are attempting to cast men who date or profess to want to date younger women as socially undesirable.

Instead, feminists and the media are trumpeting women like Demi Moore and Madonna, referring to them with adulation and admiration.

Such is this movement, that now attractive women in their 40s don't even want to date guys their own age. They are going younger, much younger. After all, why can't they be the next Demi Moore?

We can either fight back, or let the pendulum continue to swing in that direction. Don't fall for society's BS. Date who YOU WANT. Not what society thinks you should want.

Men haven't had the media or popular societal opinion on their side for at least the last 30-40 years. If younger guys want to date older women, I say fine. More younger girls for us older guys .

If younger guys want to date older women, I say fine. More younger girls for us older guys .

There is always a silver lining. However, older women going for younger guys has always happened I think. Only now it's the vogue thing to do. When I was 18 (oh, 14 years ago! holy crap I'm old!!!) I was propositioned by a 33 year old. I turned her down though because she had the "Eastern European dental plan" going on (aka snaggletooth). Other than that she was pretty good looking.

Even though I had been in a LTR with a much younger woman before coming here, it did take coming here to help me bridge the gap after the separation.

Despite the young ex, I had internalized the negative stuff and it took some back and forth to get over the hangups, fears, shame, etc.
I'm still working on it but have made lots of progress internalizing the much healthier attitude that I can pursue a relationship with any woman I'm attracted to, with obvious restrictions.
Now I just am friendly will all women and keep my radar tuned for interest and chemistry. It must be working to the extent that my no. 1 plate now is a couple of decades younger than I, and she was more eager (with the formality of some lame ASD/LMR) to shed her clothes than I was.

I'm not opposed to older women as long as they're attractive, but man, I am happy right now for as long as it lasts with this combo.

Thanks, guys- you rock!!
Seriously, it would have been much much harder on my own; now I even love to look back on some of the ridiculous rejections I got- totally worth it....

And, still learning and adapting.

 

[decades]

nothing "they" say can change who "you" are. live your life and don't worry about what "they" say.

 

[mrRuckus]

I don't think many really buy it.

It's hard not to inherently know your worth. Fat people date fat people, flat chested women know they're playing without a full deck, etc

Fading older women generally can't get younger men who have actually have other options. Demi Moore actually still has a bit going on. I doubt Ashton will be around when she's 10 years older.

 

[Warrior74]

I went out with a 23 year old last night.

I got a call from a another 24 year old who just broke up with her man.

I'm spinning plates with a 34 year old, a 36 year old, and a 28 year old.

I got a 21 year old intern at work that I've turned down offers from (no women at work, but it was still flattering).

I have a 28 year old in texas who wants to fly me out.

Old maid my ass. Yah brothers, don't fall for the media programming bull****. I was talking to a 40 year old with no kids and dates a player I know who has been stringing her along for the last 3 years. She looks almost 50 in the face, but she's got a nice body. All she talked about is how she's gonna get some young 21 year old. I thought to myself really? I don't think so babygirl. You ain't hot enough...if I was in a slump I'd hump you but I got options. She asked me out to go play pool and get some drinks, but I had to decline because I was going out with the 24 year old. lol.

The Myth of the Lonely Old Man

Ah, the lonley old man myth rears it's head once again. Yet another feminine social convention with the latent purpose of maintaining women as the prime sexual selector.

This notion is one of the biggest AFC rationales ever perpetrated on men. Is lonelines a disease that necessitates a cure? If men could be made to believe so, think of the potential profit to be made from, and the potential for manipulation of, men. The real test for a man is how he lives with himself, alone. Precious few men ever truly allow themselves to be alone and learn real independence and self-reliance. The vast majority of guys (particularly in western culture) tend to transition from mother to wife with little or no intermission between, going from LTR to LTR until they 'settle' without ever having learned how to interact as an adult.

The fear of loneliness is entirely too exaggerated in modern western romaticism. The popularized fear-mythology of becoming the "lonely old man who never loved" is the new 'old maid' myth made popular in an era when a woman's worth was dependent upon her marital status and equally as false a premise. But in our brave new generation AFC, men (who've become women) are repackaged and shamed into believing this horsesh!t as part & parcel of feminized gender role reversal. And thus we get Speed Dating and eHarmony and a host of other "conveniences" to pacify the insecurities that this reversal instills.

Don't buy into the powder-puff idea that if you don't find your mythological soulmate ONE by the time you're 30 and ASAP you'll tempt fate and risk a life of quiet desperation. This contrivance only serves the interests of women who's imperative it is to enjoy their party years in their 20's with as many Jerks as they can attract and have a stable Nice Guy who's petrified he'll live a life of loneliness and desperation waiting for them at 28-30 to marry and ensure their long term security.

Don't buy this lie. The man who is comfortable with himself and confident in his true independence is the one that women will want to be associated with and to share in it. How you handle being alone and what you do with the opportunities that freedom allows is the real measure of a man.

If you're single and 50 you STILL have options if you're only brave enough to explore them. I know divorced men in their 50s who're dating mid 30s women right now and I know men in their 60s who've been trapped and emotionally blackmailed by their wives for 30 years

 

[horaholic]

I dont see why anyone here is paying any attention to that.

 

[Hooligan Harry]

Its a cultural thing now. Everywhere in the world, women date men much older then them. Eastern Europe and Russia. Greece, Spain, Italy. South America. Asia. There are biological reasons why men want younger women and why younger women tend to find older men attractive

http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/old-men-chasing-young-women-good-thing-14203.html

Why? Because when you come down to it, older men are more stable and can provide for their families. For a woman in Russia or Colombia, the thought of marrying a man who is only a year or two older is never really a possibility because men in their early 20's have not had time to establish themselves. That, and they are busy ****ing the 17 and 18 year old women.

Women in the west want it all. They want the young good looking stud who is going to cater to her every whim. He must be rich enough to provide, good looking enough to make other women jealous, popular enough that they can take him out all the time. All while tolerating her drama with a smile on his face.

For this, they offer a body that has been ****ed and chucked more times then a white collar criminal in prison, an attitude straight off desperate housewives/sex in the city and a career as a PA/marketing assistant that barely covers her debts. Her kids will be raised in daycare while she pursues a high "powered career" and by the time she is 40 she would probably have let herself go to the point where you wont even recognize her anymore. The demand for these women is so high that almost 50% of them will divorce the men they marry because they know how easy it is to replace them.

People are shaming you for dating younger women? Let them. You are a man. Men like young women. Dont apologise for that.

Its threads like this that make it more and more difficult for me to accept life in western countries these days. Every day that goes by is another day that I seriously consider packing it in and moving to non English speaking country where traditional values still count for something.

Be thankful that the only men who are being hurt by this are the ones who believe it.

In this world it's every man for himself. That's why although I do find these kinds of things annoying at times, i realize that it only serves to weed out competition.

If you really think about it, as long as you don't buy into this crap, you stand to benefit greatly from the perpetuation of these myths.

The REALITY of things is that no matter what women or girly-men say, "owning" your physical age without letting it control you actually makes you more attractive.

Think about it. When older women know that you wear your preference for younger women as a badge of honor, it brings out their competitive nature.

I had a chick awhile back give me sh!t because she said I was "one of those guys" (referring to my preference for younger women).

We talked about many things, but when the subject of sex came up I explained to her that in my experience, younger women are better lovers.

Her response? She tells her friend "Makes me want to prove him wrong!"

Own it. Do not apologize for it. Hell, use any opportunity to throw it in their faces. They are trying to shame you....might as well make them feel like the washed up has-beens that they are!
