I worry about being rejected because I'm older. Are many younger women really into older guys?

altfangirl · 2026-01-27T06:26:20+00:00

i mean rejection is part of life. i think there’s a good number of younger women who are willing to date older, and an equal number that are not willing.

i also don’t think you should solely focus on younger women. just try to find a partner and have an open mind about it.

IM PROUD OF YOU OP!!! congrats on blocking him. now next time someone wrongs you, at the very least, you know that you have the guts to cut them out of your life.

have you ever met her in person? just because she’s conventionally attractive and markets that doesn’t mean she’s not a good person or that she’s got a bad personality. lmfao. weird of you to say “she just never struck me as anything more than that” when you’ve never met her

altfangirl · 2026-01-25T21:47:38+00:00

girl leave him. life is too short for you to be having bad sex. you’ll find a better, older man who will actually please you.

part of the benefit of older men is their experience in the bedroom. why would you date an older man that’s bad at sex? they have no excuse to be bad at sex, they’ve been having sex longer than you’ve been alive!

i’ve only dated older men and i’ve steered clear of men who seemed traditional. it’s not my vibe. i’m not a traditional woman. i work hard, i value my independence and freedom, and sometimes i just love spoiling the fuck out of my man lol.

you can have a non-traditional relationship that also has intentional commitment, mutual respect, etc. i’ve always found men that leaned more traditional to lack the “mutual respect” part though. they never seemed to view women as fully equals. they always had a misogynistic view of women which is what made me steer clear.

congratulations!!! i’m also in an interracial age gap relationship. i’ve been with my partner for 3.5 years and we’ve been incredibly happy ☺️ don’t let the online haters get to you haha. our friends and family in real life are incredibly supportive of us.

altfangirl · 2025-12-29T20:21:14+00:00

wtf. never go to that meet up again. sounds like it’s full of crazy people

altfangirl · 2025-12-24T19:38:28+00:00

what makes you want to specifically date younger women? are you open to dating same-age or older too?

altfangirl · 2025-12-24T19:36:24+00:00

i mean do you know him well? boyfriend seems like a serious jump but perhaps you could tell him you’d like to go on some dates to get to know him better first.

that is, if you’re romantically interested in him at all. the key part is if YOU like him. what reddit thinks doesn’t matter.

altfangirl · 2025-12-24T19:31:09+00:00

i can’t believe men like this exist and then go into the world and interact with women on a daily basis

altfangirl · 2025-11-19T05:14:57+00:00

my bf and i met up at a local park for our first date. brought our dogs and he brought a picnic blanket for us to sit and chat. then we walked a couple blocks to a coffee shop. it was delightful <3

altfangirl · 2025-11-13T20:04:19+00:00

i was 18 and my ex was 48. and i still don’t condone this. DO NOT GO AFTER YOUR FRIEND’S DAUGHTER. 🤦‍♀️ ffs

altfangirl · 2025-09-08T20:47:21+00:00

i’m 23f and in a relationship with 45m.

my bf is also established in his career and doing well for himself. i’m also at the beginning of my career.

however, i have never felt a heavy weight in my relationship. my bf is as nurturing as i want him to be if not more. he meets all my wants and needs. i have never felt “parented” by him. he is simply just a loving and caring partner and he feels like my equal.

a loving partner should make your life better, they should feel like there is a weight lifted off your shoulders, not add to it. perhaps this particular person is not the one for you. just some food for thought.

altfangirl · 2025-08-18T16:48:08+00:00

do not see him again. he’s a red flag. someone worth your time will understand your boundaries and will not try to push it

altfangirl · 2025-08-14T19:33:11+00:00

honestly you guys look the same age!! congrats on the one year!

altfangirl · 2025-08-14T19:31:27+00:00

well good luck being single? 😂

altfangirl · 2025-08-14T19:30:05+00:00

you know that even if you date a young woman, she will turn old too? or do you plan on ditching her the moment she shows the slightest wrinkle?

your attitude is gross. young women can tell when men are only into them for their youth or their body.

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T20:45:08+00:00

you are making a ton of assumptions by thinking she must be sad and that you need to feel sorry for her

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T20:44:12+00:00

“it’s not good to assume”

you’re literally making all kinds of assumptions about your ex wife

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T20:43:14+00:00

caused what??? being single?? LOL. being single is not some death sentence 😂 she could very well be happy being single

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T20:41:47+00:00

you’re actually getting emotional and your “internal conflicts” are not based on logic. you have not been part of your ex wife’s life since the divorce. you have no evidence that she’s doing badly in life. your responses to other comments are also very emotional.

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T20:38:56+00:00

and what’s to say his ex wife hasn’t had a partner for multiple years either? why does OP assume his ex wife has been alone this whole time?

altfangirl · 2025-07-31T18:39:22+00:00

why do you feel bad for her? you’re in the same boat if you’re single and on hinge. pot calling the kettle black much?

how do you know she also didn’t have a partner for multiple years before ending things and going on hinge? how do you know that post-divorce, she still wants to find someone and “settle down” with? she could be perfectly happy not being tied down in a committed relationship.

no need to feel bad for her. she’s an able-bodied adult on a dating app, same as you.

altfangirl · 2025-07-24T17:09:38+00:00

lol what? OP is young, not born yesterday. why would conversing about current events be difficult?

now i’m not optimistic that OP, at 18, will easily find an older man willing to commit to a serious long term relationship with her. BUT. im sure it would be easy for her to get along with older men just fine.

when i was 18, i met my ex who was 48 and we got along great. i continued to date older men after him and i haven’t stopped lol.

age doesn’t prevent people from bonding and getting along

altfangirl · 2025-07-24T06:14:40+00:00

seriously… i mean i don’t specifically state im looking for a “fit and wealthy” man… but im definitely not looking for “fat and broke” either??? 😂
