Why Millennial Women Want to Date Older Men

http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog ... -older-men

From the article:

"More and more women I know are dating men twice, yes twice, their age. In her new film, The Intern, Anne Hathaway stands with Robert DeNiro and a bunch of young male colleagues in a bar and draws a harsh comparison: “How in one generation have men gone from guys like Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford to . . .?” She gestures despairingly at the four men in front of her, archetypes of my generation in their hoodies, craft beer in one hand, iPhone in the other, with their untrimmed beards and general lack of ambition. I see what Hathaway means: Why put up with Tinder when there’s a whole generation of men out there who wouldn’t dream of using it?"

"My friend Gabrielle met her boyfriend at a restaurant opening. They are twenty years apart, and they’ve been together for two. He “treats me like I’m a person,” she told me. “I watch so many of my other friends agonize over text messages from guys who . . . just clearly don’t care.” The stereotypes, she says, are true: Older men are attentive, they aren’t threatened by your career success, they didn’t grow up watching porn on their laptops, and they certainly don’t expect sex from you before you’ve even had a chance to meet. It’s not an “old-fashioned” dating scheme, it’s just a more humane one. “I wasn’t trying to go back in time,” Gabrielle added at the end of our conversation. “Nobody wants to go back to the 1950s, we just want to be treated with respect.”

Jeepers thanks for that totally innocuous generalization. Instead of pulp clickbait methinks we should recognize individual choices for what they are. Something like this could only be posted out of personal bias.

Also I'm 23 & I f*****g loathe tinder.

I didn't post this for men - unless they can learn something from it. It's actually what the younger generation of women are finding out - that older men appreciate women more and they are more traditional. I can't help if you take offense to the truth.

Respect is an individual responsibility which has nothing to do with age.

BS. The younger generations have no respect, in my opinion. They're rude, disrespectful and think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter without any effort on their part. I'm tired of dancing around the truth. They also don't believe in commitment just like this article says. Younger men are going to find out that acting that way will not get them very far (unless they just want one night stands) - the younger women just happen to be finding out sooner. The way that most of the younger generations act just plain sucks. What this article pointed out for me is that when I do fill out my EHarmony questionnaire this week, I'm going to broaden my age wants towards older men (instead of younger men) and give them a chance. Younger isn't always better.

Respect also isn't BS. I only implied young people are equal, not better. Seems to me this version of respect is a one way street.

Typecasting other people's values isn't cool. Tons of young guys fit your bill.

Both my uncles have wives 15+ years younger than them. They're both pretty happy.

Younger men don't fit my bill. I implied that young people are NOT equal. Just like the article says (and another article I posted in regards to dating web sites), most younger men only want notches in their belt with no commitments. A couple of threads on this website are currently talking about only finding a blonde with blue eyes or someone who is younger than them - its all about looks first. That's what these dating websites are - just meat markets for one night stands (IMO). It's articles like this one that remind me of why I don't like dating and am still single.

Case in point, I had a nice older gentleman patient this last weekend that complimented me on my hair. I can't recall the last time I even got a compliment from a younger male patient - most just say crude stuff and think it's funny. Like that male co-worker I was talking about in another thread asking me why I was laughing at this other guy's joke - he actually came out and asked me if that guy was my "boy toy". Gotta tell you, the younger men just don't impress me with their smart-ass comments. They act immature, if you ask me.

After spending a ton of time around mostly younger men the past few years (mostly 20-25) I have to 100% agree with this. I would also add they generally have zero communication skills and are dirty and underhanded with Narcissistic traits rampant. Most I knew didn't think past getting drunk or laid on the weekends yet usually were doing better at their careers than I was at that age.

Still, I don't totally blame them: most of it was because they were spoiled by their parents. Even when I was 20 myself I cringed at how most guys acted and treated girls..... yet they were always the ones with the women while I was always on the sidelines with my 'old fashioned' personality.

You did something right - you're happily married - because of EHarmony. I hope to find someone who has the same "old fashioned" personality like you when I try my hand on that site this week.

Not even going to click on it.

Ew. No.

I am not offended.

Many younger women to gravitate to older men.

That's why I always tell people who are 30-something that better days are ahead for them.

$$$

what it comes down too

Many times it does----but it's not universal.

I've never had much money---but I've done okay.

I didn't even drive until I was 37. And had no car until I was 50.

I don't think guys want to date anybody who believes inequality is a principle.
