I've loved older men since 6th grade

Alrighty. I'm an 18 year old girl and ever since I was 12 I began obsessing older men because I found them attractive. I can't remember anytime I've found a boy my own age to be cute. Usually they are in their 30's, 40's, and yes, even 50's. I'm pretty much attracted to every one I see. Is this normal? Is it just a personal taste that I have? Does anybody else have it?
Legally I'm an adult now so I guess it dosen't matter, I was just wanting to know if anyone else out there feels the same way. Thanks!

    I think it's perfectly normal, even healthy. As long as you're sure you're not being exploited or disrespected in any way. This is something to be careful of. As a previous poster said, girls mature far faster than boys of the same age. So it seems perfectly natural that you would be attracted to older men. As an older man myself, I've dated women much younger than myself. It suits me, as I seem much younger than I am. As long as it's legal (and reasonably moral) and you both like, respect and get along with each other, there's no problem that I can see.

    Well I like younger girls, Im 41 and would love to date a 21 or 22 year old. My one step daughter is going out with a guy my age, it doesnt bother me at all. I wish the 21 year old girl I like thought that way LOL

  • It's the same way with me! guys aren't so attractive when you're a teen because girls progress faster than them, and guys a pretty much two years behind in immaturity

    I don't know if it's normal or not but I've been attracted to older men.. as long as I can remember. Before I even really realized it. I definitely started feeling some sexual attraction at 12. But I'm still a virgin at 24 and I've never dated (I am not making that up, but I've also been through a lot of shit and the timing to date has never been right for me and that doesn't bother me). I'm not really interested in casual sexual relationships but I feel like.. one day I might be a little more open to it. Maybe. I definitely feel like I need to be into someone emotionally before I feel a strong sexual desire. I have strong sexual desire but no urge to really act on it with some random dude.

    But anyway, I've always been attracted to men 35-55, I can't get into guys my age. Especially babyface. No way. That's probably another large factor in why I haven't dated pfffft.

    But I definitely have daddy issues but I don't really want a man that's going to dote on and "take care of me" as much as I want an equal partner but I find the more aged men way sexier. I'm starting to accept that's just what I like.

    You don't have to have everything in common to have a good relationship, and you don't have to have ANYTHING in common to have good sex. What you like is what you like, and nobody can tell you it's wrong as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult.

    I'm an older guy (47) who loves younger women. I find them delightfully open-minded, fun, and unspoiled compared with women my own age. . . and I like to be with someone who is young and hot enough for me to physically worship in bed.

    The problem for me is that I feel like I can't make the first move on the women I'm interested in, for fear of being creepy. I'm up for a relationship but not clingy or jealous or needy, so if a young woman is interested, she just needs to let me know, and let me know what her boundaries are.

    So, do you live in Northern California? I'd love to meet some interested young women! :)

    Most men prefer younger women, most likely because women aged 18-30 (well actually even younger, but I find that repulsive myself) are simply more fertile and likely to produce healthy offspring.

    Thus our brains are programmed to make us attracted to women in this age-group.

      Oh, and for a woman I suppose older men are attractive (on a subconscious level) because they're more likely to have "good" genes (they've somehow proven that they're able to take care of themselves and stay on top of the competition with other males). On a more superficial/materialistic level older men are also more likely to have stable finances and be able to provide for the family. Yada-yada.

    I prefer guys only about 6-7 years older than me. lol. Some are younger but yeah I think it's perfectly normal. It's just a different taste.
    Those men usually look more clean and well groomed. They tend to know more and usually are very interesting to talk to. I'm pretty sure it's normal.

    I always liked older women. I think it was because they were more mature and less silly and self centered. Remember that attracted is ok but sex is something best left out of any relationship at this age

    Seems slightly odd, but whatever floats your boat. It sounds normal to me.

    I'm the same. All the boys my own age act like they're in kindergarten.

    I would understand if its 10 or 15 years but anything more is not. I've always loved older girls and when I was 16 my girlfriend was 29. For a 16 year old to date a 29 year old model like chick was not easy but we dated for 4 years off and on and had plans to get married.

    She went all psycho and I had to leave her. She ended up being one of those "IF I CANT HAVE YOU NO ONE CAN" bitches.

    I don't think this is odd, I feel exactly the same. I've found someone my own age (19) attractive only once. I think for me older men represent stability and maturity. Like you can actually depend on them.

    It's normal. older guy seems so fascinating for me, either. :D

    There is nothing wrong with that at all!
    I have the same issue - I'm younger than you and it's bloody difficult to talk to anyone about.
    Nobodyspecial is right - age doesn't matter if you're in love.
    Besides, men are supposed to be more immature than women so there is more chance of you finding someone right for you than say a man trying to find an older woman - sad, but true :(
    Good luck x

    Older men have rougher features and to me that is sexy. Babyfaced men look too much like girls to me. I have loved to watch older men and dream about them since I was at the onset of puberty. Also, I think older men can sense more strongly when a female likes them and right away they (most of them) start to give back attention. Older men have always flocked to me because they could always tell I liked them and I was a boost to their ego.

    The sad part is that many will just use you for an ego boost.

    I have always been into the older man since I was about 10. As it happens when I was 17 I met a 60 year old man and 19 years later we are still together. We are married and have a 14 year old. If you fall in love with someone older then thats the way it goes. If you respect eachother and your both happy then thats ok. We can't always control our feelings. Like all relationships its great to get to know eachother. We lived together for 6 years before we married. Good Luck !!

    Me too. Older men are definitely sexier.

    It's normal babe..
    It could stem from something like not having a father figure during childhood, and feeling as though you need an older man in your life. Or it could be that you have experienced young, immature boys and you want a man!
    I'm 18 and would never go with anyone under 20, I know its a bit different to your scenario but its still the same concept x
