Do most older men prefer younger women?

Just wondering as woman what your thoughts are? Do you find it harder to date in 30’s or 40’s or have you found ‘true’ love later in life?

Not in my experience. I met DH when I was mid-50s and he's 8 years older than me. We've been together 6+ years now. Before meeting him I'd no shortage of men my age approaching me. However I have a good social life centred around dance and music and exercise events aimed at my age group. Alongside just going out and about with female friends sometimes. I think if one sticks to online dating then that's where the creepy chancers hang out as it's easy for them. Of course they'll try it on with younger women. Probably a numbers game to them, if they contact 50 younger women they imagine a few will bite and they're probably right. They are absolutely not representative of older men in general tho. In more ways than one, the Internet has skewered our view of what real life is.
