why do women over 30 think getting attention from teen guys means they've still got it?(read the whole ?)?

Question

from what i gather, most women over 30 love getting attention from 17-20ish year old guys. they seem to prefer it over attention from guys in their 30s and even guys in their mid or late 20s.

they say it's because it makes them feel like they feel like "they've still got it". but what makes them think that it's harder to attract teenage guys than guys in their 20s or 30s? most teenage guys are actually EASIER because of the hormone rush. and a lot of them just have this older woman fantasy. i am 19 and i hit on older women all the time who aren't that hot. it's probably harder to het the attention of a 25-35 year old man. so why are most women over 30 more flattered by attention from an 18 year old than from a 27 year old?

rovale, there aren't many men over 30 who prefer girls under 21. and the ones that do are seen as pedophiles.

i'm only 19 and i see women in their mid to late 20s just as attractive(if not more) than teen girls. same with women in their 30s.and i don't find girls under 18 attractive.

rohak, when a guy whistes at a woman in the street i don't think he's interested in her "mind". in those situations it's pretty obvious it's physical attraction. and women know that.

and i wouldn't consider a 30 year old man old. what reason would he have to be desperate that an 18 year old boy wouldn't?

Answer 1

I'm a 32 year old woman. If I get attention from guys that young, I am flattered. But if they are hoping for something more than a casual acquaintance to friendship, I am forced to let them down as gently as I can. I have rarely been interested in men younger than me. When they're THAT much younger than me, I see them little more than as children. I much prefer the attention of older men. I relate more to older men than younger or even my own age.

Answer 2

I have never had problems getting attention from men of any age. The fact that you even bring up that women might have problems getting attention from men their age is a joke. I'm 30 btw so I fit the age category you're talking about.

I don't enjoy being hit on by younger men. It's creepy, and I usually tell them they're wasting their time. I eventually stopped going to bars where all there were around me were 18 year olds. Same with men that are too old; it's creepy and odd to have someone much, much older or younger than you try to pick you up.

Getting the attention from the 18 year olds is good for a laugh, but I'd hardly say it has any kind of affect on my self esteem.

You are really young to be stating truths about life.... to do that you have to actually live the real world.

Both men and women alike find flattering to get atention from the opposite sex (well from the same sex as well)... its normal human behavior. From what you are saying you are against older women dating younger men....I don't see what is the problem in the first place.... second you assume to many positions why are you expert in what women think?... why are you expert in what men in their 30's think.?

In my case I do prefer men over the age of 25, I don't find attractive guys who spend their time with their play station, online games, anime, and if not the above on their normal college face... because I already went through those things. but that is just my personal preference.

Sure maybe teenaged boys are just boiling masses of hormones, but that exactly why the older women like their attention. A hormonal teenager's attraction is visceral and carnal. If he's interested in her, he wants sex. So she feels better, knowing that she's still attractive physically. With an older guy she might think he's interested in her mind, or personality, or is just getting desperate and she's good enough. So, teenager equals physical desire equals validation of her physical attractiveness.

Answer 5

I know I've still got it and don't need a young pup to tell me so. Plus that is sick.
Women, I repeat, women over 30, do not like far younger men if they have any decency and morals. And unlike what you think, just because a woman may be older, it doesn't mean that they're desperate.
It just means us older ladies wouldn't touch a young guy with a barge-pole, especially one who thinks the sun shines out of his backside.

Answer 6

Nice try, but your premise is false. You always assume this is true yet the answers you get completely contradict what you've "read" so why do you keep asking?

I'm 28, and I don't love "attention" from teenage boys. A compliment is always nice, but I don't want a teenage boy coming on to me, because that's creepy. Stop basing your opinions on women from daytime talkshows. I don't know any women my age who want sexual attention from teen boys. It's NOT hard for a woman my age to get the attention of a man in my age range, so you don't know what you're talking about.

Edit: seriously, why don't you take your questions to the DATING section. Your questions never, ever relate to sociological gender issues.

Answer 7

It's really not that much different from older men liking younger women. I guess it does surprise some people that there are older women who like younger men. That's because they tend to assume that all women like men who are their age or older.

Answer 8

I wholeheartedly agree that "Women over 30 do not find teen boys attractive . . EVER"

and would just like to add that the mere THOUGHT of it

makes my SKIN CRAWL and I am left feeling NAUSEOUS.

OK D'YA GET IT, KID????

Answer 9

Women over 30 do not find teen boys attractive . . EVER.

Get over this obsession with age. You are so out of it.

This is your worst question ever.
