do men in their 40s find teenagers attractive.. like ages 14+?

Question

What is the youngest average age men find teens attractive? There have been instances of men finding me attractive (i'm 14..) I don't know if thats normal or weird or what..

Answer 1

Normal older men may find young teens "Cute". Cute in the since of their bubbly personality and unique "naive" way of looking at things. It may remind them of their own puppy love days when things were a bit more innocent. Memory joggers.

It is not normal to consider them sexually attractive. A mature man knows that there's much more involved in a sexual relationship than just being attractive and realizes a young teen is too naive to make these decisions. A mature man also realizes that young women may have a flirtatious mannerism about them, but it is basically innocent and just a learning process. They even do it with their Dads. Not trying to get sexual favors, but maybe a little form of manipulating to get what they want. A mature man knows this and may play along...but never if it leads towards sexual interests.

Again, that may be normal for a young lady, but it's not normal for a mature man to assume it means sexual interest or to take advantage of a naive young lady. A mature man knows it's wrong legally and morally, but also simply is not interested in an immature relationship regardless of how cute the young lady may be. .

When I say a mature man...I mean mentally and emotionally. Age really doesn't guarantee that.

Answer 2

Finding a young woman attractive is one thing and not abnormal, but coming on to them if they are under eighteen to engage in a sexual relationship, is illegal in the USA. Many young women have bodies that are more mature than their minds. Some act older than they are and some like to tease, ignoring the negative consequences that they can bring on themselves, including by dressing in provocative attire. The age difference you mentioned is a bit extreme, but men do like young women just as women like older guys(again, probably not the difference in age that you mentioned). If you were in your twenties, it wouldn't seem as weird. Even if a guy is old enough to be your father, when you are are of a mature and legal age, and if he doesn't look like he is your father's age, then it is easier to deal with.
There is no average thinking for all men, and if some one says there is, they are generalizing.

Answer 3

Personally, I want to protect kids from the kind of guys who do.

You are 14 Zoe? If you notice guys in their 20's, or older looking at you, tell the nearest adult you trust with your safety.
Never hang around these guys, and never let them get you alone!

There are males who find girls your age attractive. It is against the law for these guys to do anything with you. Plus, trust me, these guys do NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!! They care about what they can do to you that would be fun for them, and not getting caught.
If a guy over 18 talks to you, put your guard up fast! NEVER trust him! If a guy ever hurts you, go to the police FAST! If you feel or sense something wrong about the guy, DO NOT WAIT to figure out what it is, get away.
Listen to any self protection information your school counselor or police department has. Tell your parents that you notice guys looking at you, and their ages.
Okay, you are probably attractive, which is great! But there is something wrong, mentally ill (really, medically) with some people's brains, and they look for teens your age. It might be normal for an attractive girl like you to be looked at by everyone, but don't let them get close, and if they talk to you, be polite and leave fast. Guys will compliment you to get to know you, and it is WRONG legally and morally for a guy over 18 to do anything sexual with you, which is the ONLY reason they are talking to you!!! I am sorry for sounding like your parent, but you asked a great question and there are alot of rapists and mentally ill people who look perfectly normal. I hate to read or hear about young people getting hurt by older people, and it happens ALOT.
Thanks for reading all this Zoe.

Answer 4

ok Zoe-- Honey, I'm a mother of three daughters and no it's way not normal- it's DANGEROUS!!!! If you're out and see older guys (grown men) checking you out, then you need to watch yourself, cause there is some real sick people out there. You hear of it all the time, these sick perverted men (and women) getting these real young kids, so honey- Don't be flattered by that kind of attention. Those kind of men are only up to NO GOOD. Take Care of Yourself. Celinallll

Answer 5

It's tough to say...if a girl LOOKS 14, that's one thing. But there are many, many 16, 17, 18 year old out there that have matured physically and look MUCH older. The birth certificate might say 18, but her body says 24.

Answer 6

I'm 52 and I notice young attractive girls but I don't flirt with them or act obnoxious about it which would be sick. I'm old enough to be their Dad so I do not look at them the same way I would a woman say 25 or more which is still very young to me.

Answer 7

You're playing with fire.....you're young and anybody over 17 shouldn't be involved with you. If you're trying to get a man 40 to look at you, you could be the cause of him going to jail. Cool yourself down your hormones are raging.

Answer 8

It's perverts trying to get a sweet innocent young girlto do with as they want ...You don't even want to go there........It is also cause for rape and you need to be careful..Better yet ..Stay Away from the older guys stick to your own age

Answer 9

your cousin shouldn't be sexually attracted to you in the first place, isn't that kinda like incest? Anyways, I guess men like young youthful women? I could say the same for a lot of women who like younger men lol.

Answer 10

18 is the limit I suspect. I once dated an older man when I was 18. He dumped me because he said that even though the sex was great, the other 23 hours of the day were devoid of meaningful conversation.
