Online find guys younger than me attractive

So I've just joined an online dating site and I've swiped right so many times in the last 24hrs the sites going to run out of men Confused I've dropped the age bar twice because guys that are more age appropriate are doing nothing for me. Not looking for a relationship really, just want to date and see where things go. Im 37 and a single mum but swiping left for guys 10 years younger Confused is this a problem? My last relationship lasted 9 years with someone 8 years younger than me. Guys around my age do nothing for me I wish they would but you can't help what you like right?

If you do OLD when you are 50 will you fancy guys a similar age you are now now I wonder?

I’m trying to think if I know any attractive 40 year old men but then I suppose 40 year old men (&older) are also looking for partners younger than them so I guess it works both ways!

Beauty is more than skin deep, those younger men may not match your life experience and be dull as dishwater, but you like what you like & I guess the only way to find out is to meet in person & see if there is a spark. Good luck!

@3001signon thanks for the reply. Funnily enough I was wondering that too Grin
Thing is your going off photos online it's loads different to on the off chance chatting to someone in real life and having a connection. I chat chat to every single guy online to see if there's a spark I'm going by appearance only, and the younger ones are more attractive and pleasing to the eyes Confused it makes it more complicated that I'm not looking to be in a relationship because if I was I'd be looking for someone that looks like husband material Confused

I'm so confused.

With online dating there won’t be any connection until you both swipe each other and get a match

As it’s visual just carry on rejecting those you aren’t into and accepting those that you are
Pop down to any write up to aid whether or not you might be interested

Bearing in mind you’ve said that you aren’t looking for long term/husband material then stick to what attracts you
(You won’t want to date the man you aren’t attracted to just because he is ‘age appropriate’)

Throughout the years I’ve dated women who are older, younger and the same age
For many different reasons there are those that I will swipe away and swipe to like, the first picture is a big factor but I have to be a sure no to reject from the first picture

Reject those you are not attracted to
Accept both those you are plus those that you might be
If you match then you can chat, and still accept/reject depending on how you feel
