OLD, why so much interest from younger men?

I have tentatively dipped my toe into OLD after coming out of a very long marriage at the start of this year. At first I set the age preference within 5 years either side of my actual age, I am 44 BTW. I have had a steady stream of interest, but habe not had a lot of luck. Either ones who would be frightening over keen before you had even met, ones who match and then never reply to a message, or others that send inappropriate photos within a couple of hours of chatting.

A friend recommended changing my age perimeters, which I did yesterday. I have since been inundated with men in their early 30's, some really attractive. I have a young looking face, but would consider myself fairly average looking. Why would all these younger men be interested. I am absolutely baffled.

It's just a thing. Young men like older women.

They are often looking for no strings sex with women who they find attractive but wouldn't want to be in a 'get married settle down' relationship with.

If that's what you are looking for too then they are a good bet - better than the older men as their cocks are more likely to work, they can keep up, and they are often a good laugh as well. Middle aged men can drift towards the Victor Meldrew if not careful.

SOME young men. Others couldn't think of anything worse.
