When I get hit on by old men, most of the time, I get creeped out or feel insulted, because those guys must think that I am on the "same level" as they are in terms of attractiveness and desirability. I must say that if you're an older man trying to hit on me, personally, you MUST be as HANDSOME as Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Brad Pitt, Rob Lowe, etc. to make up for your old age. If you're a RICH old guy, then I'm sure there are plenty of young women from poor/broken homes looking to get financial support. By the way, the men I consider to be "too old" for me would be 33+. 29-32 would be ideal.
Basically, I feel that most normal, decent women would prefer to date men her own age or slightly older rather than a much older guy.
At my old job the company president, who was 37, was hitting on me. He had divorced his 34 year old wife and was single and looking. He was good looking for his age, for he worked out daily. Although he seemed smart, ambitious, and mature, 2 things troubled me:
1) Though he claimed to be looking to date women who were intellectually equal to him, he admitted dating women as young as 21 years old, which was a HUGE red flag, since most men who date very young women are looking for playthings. Just trying to get laid. I was insulted that he *possibly* thought I was a slut.
2) He was good looking for his age but was no match for the youthful good looks of younger men. If he had looked like Pierce Brosnan......he would have TOTALLY qualified for me.
