Why do younger girls like older dudes? Daddy issues?

The older I’m getting the more attention I get from younger girls, I’m close to 40 and whenever I go out and there are younger girls, 20 to 27, they give me eyes and is not uncommon to hook up or date. Daddy issues?

  • I am actually dating a man 7 years older but not because of daddy issues or because I want his money. I actually love him and can be myself with him. We always find interesting things to talk about and would dive into deep thoughts together. I think he is really wise and confident and I learnt a lot from him, and even though he looks so tough and manly, he has the most gentle and delicate heart ever. That is what attracted me to him.

    I hate when others say that I probably have daddy issues or it is because he is older and has a more stable life and money. Actually that is the only thing that is causing us problems... he always wants to help me whenever I am in a financial problem but I always refuse because I don't want his family or others to think that I am with him because of his money and he told me that he feels sad because he has the ability to help his girl but he is not allowed to.

    Honestly, for me I like him because of his kind heart, mature and polite behavior and the confident aura he always displays

    • You're lucky you found someone like him. He's a keeper.

  • Not every girl is like that.

    100% of the guys that have ever asked me out are usually significantly older than I am, usually old enough that they could be my father (most recent guy to ask me out was 17 years older than me).

    I've turned every single one of them down and consequently have never had a boyfriend. I don't like older guys. I don't want to be with an older guy. I want to be with a guy of my own age bracket. I have an "ideal" rule of 3x5 (no more than three years younger and no more than five years older) for me to consider dating someone. I would potentially consider some guys outside that bracket depending on the individual, but as farther general rule if the third digit in your birth year is not an 8, you don't have a chance.

    • This is pretty interesting. I always prefer women older than me. So you've NEVER been in a relationship before?

    • @ManOnFire , that is correct. I have never been in any relationship before.

    • Why not?

  • No. Some just prefer men who know what they want. The average male in the 1950's married at the age of 22. Today, the average male marries at the age of 28. Younger men don't want devoted relationships, they hardly know what they want. I personally prefer a man who knows exactly what he wants & doesn't settle for less, just like me. It's a very sexy character trait. I don't find indecisive men attractive at all.

    Don't get me wrong; I am in NO rush for a relationship. I've been single all my life & I don't want children... But I also don't want to date some guy who isn't serious about me. I deserve better than that. Older men understand that. I set my standards, & they will be more than happy to meet it. Younger guys... not so much.

    • Yes for the most part, but many guys my age here in NY are still playing the field. So she doesn’t necessarily correlate with being serious about relationships.

  • If you're a hottie, yes, you are going to attract certain young women. When I was in my 20s, I always like men in their mid 30s, and up to early 50s. I'm still the same way today. I find some men hot in those age range. So far, I've been with a hottie old man.😂

    • He is 43.😂

  • My thought on that is they are women are looking for a stable and mature man that knows what he is doing and going somewhere in life, a REAL man. Now days most "men" don't consider them self as men untill they are in mid 20' or above. It's like this, you need to have education, work and maybe even a house to be stable. And that takes a lot of time. And even when they are finished with all that they still need to work on their dating skill, and that thing takes a lot and a lot of time. Which is very hard to do. espashily with all this media stuff that takes away all our focus, like this app. And that is why women would go for older men in many cases. Now this is my last post on this app so don't bother replaying.

  • I've gotten some attention from younger females too and I'm not interested. I think it's a joke really when younger women want to date older men because they're not even on our level like people lie to them and tell them they are. They like older guys out of novelty, frustration with their male peers, and cuz they want experienced sex with older men. Yet the irony is that they think guys are bad for wanting older women for their sexual experience.

    Most younger women don't even have anything to offer on the bigger scale of intellect, real depth, or life experience for me.

    • I see. Interesting.

    • @Kenni You are interesting though. That's why I tell you you're a sweetheart.

  • I would say that a majority of the time it isn't daddy issues it likely the fact that men in their 40s usually have a stable job, income and are looking to settle down if they haven't already. Women biologically look for mates that can take care of them and their offspring. It's natural for a younger women to find success sexy and the idea of an older man who still looks attractive as well is not uncommon.

    • Yeah that’s what seems to be he general consensus. And in turn for older guys younger girls are very attractive for the opposite reasons, perfect match!

    • Guess so haha

  • I don't think it's always daddy issues I mean seriously have you seen the guys our age lol they act like idiots lol so immature so personally I would say it could be the fact that by that age you have started to settle down and sort yourself out

    • Lol! Good point, I do enjoy the energy of younger girls, sometimes I do miss the experience of older women though

    • If you talk to the girl with respect and tell her nicely that you like something a certain way if she genuinely likes you she will do her best to try and improve

    • True, older girls are more relaxed and comfortable with their bodies for the most part though, I know I’m generalizing but that’s my experience.

  • I like older guys and yeah, I have daddy issues but I'm sure there are other reasons as to why a girl would like an older guy

    • Other reasons such as?

    • They're more mature I guess and the whole "silver fox" thing can be really hot

    • Lol salt & pepper?

  • I just think older guys are hot. I've always dated guys older than me. When I was 14 I dated guys 18, 19, even guys in their 20's

  • It's certainly possible, but it's very unlikely to be 'daddy issues'.

    It's considerably more likely that you get to date/hook up with them because they find interesting and attractive.

    • I think you are right but there are still a few who have other motivations.

    • I'm sure that there are, but, in general, I don't think that it's something to worry about.

  • Their Maturity & Like They Seem More Manly. Well 2 Me That Is. And It Isn't Daddy Issues Lol Even If It Was Who Would Wanna Date & Fuck An Older Man Cause They Have Dad Issues.

    • I agree, it’s not necessarily daddy issues, maturity should play a big role too, the manliness, well what can I say? Yes 😉

    • You Already Kno Bro Lol

  • I’m into older guys there is no problem it’s just you guys are attractive

  • Fuck off

    • Friendly dude!

  • They just see you more settled and sorted and they could use around for better.
    Consider it more like matters of convenience.
    Things might be more combined with a settler guy having ample surplus savings to spend...

  • I sometimes like older guys because they are mature not because of there money or sex but just because they are nicer to look at and are nicer in general

  • They older I get the more younger guys are into me. I guess mommy issues?
    But seriously I don't think you're old enough to really fit into the daddy issue side of things. Maybe I'm wrong.

    • Lol mommy issues! Never heard that one before! I’m 39, but GAG doesn’t update your age... and I’m becoming salt & pepper quickly so I think I do!

    • Salt & pepper looks great on men!

    • Thanks!

  • I don't think I'll ever want to get with an older guy now. I see how you view us.

    • 🤔 And how do I view “you”?

  • Why does every guy assume that every girl has daddy issues?

    • And 20-27 is fine to date an "older" guy

    • Lol! Sorry I didn’t mean it in a bad way, it’s just something I didn’t expect...

    • Well I know there are some girls with "daddy issues" but I don't know it just find it stupid when guys say that.

  • I see two points;

    1, A lot of younger men are immature to embarrassing levels. as opposed to most younger women being quite mature

    2, The experience- both from a means point of view and also the fact we are more worldly

  • mmm from what i know those women have a brain problem and poor or homeless and others are forced to date older dudes by there parents and yes it happen in muricah.

  • No, its that you're finally a mature man. Enjoy it before you get too old
