Why do I only like older men / women? 

[RosmertaOfficial]

No, don't tell me that a calm, grounded silver fox of a man isn't attractive. ❤

[james]

I'm attracted to the ones that are pleasant to be around.

[sanjanareddi]

I'm attracted to someone's maturity. Whether it's older or younger. Someone that's more responsible, understanding, supportive, not judgemental.

[I.lovepinetrees]

I'm attracted to older people because I was forced to grow up at a young age, and I am now mentally a 40 year old.

[elysianpattier_]

Because they know what they're doing, what they want and can actually meet me on mental, emotional and intellectual level? Without pulling all unnecessary drama, emotional outburst and have healthier communication style? Plus the charisma is damn bonus ✨ Older tho not old

EDIT: many people don't understand both what's being written and the true definition of parental issue

[senegoid]

Or, and hear me out, it could've been one of the other three valid reasons before that last one

[batlyghost]

I have always had both my parents present in my life and I love them and they did everything for me, but people my age have such an ego and immaturity that I can't tolerate so old men do provide what I need in a relationship as a person

[JaSunBeauty]

My partner is a decade older but never regret a day in my life choosing him. I think age plays a factor but its not just about maturity, the quality of many commitments and promises being religiously kept is the main factor. I'd ride or die with him for anything any day, as long as we're both commited to and with each other.

[anikatasnimsaba]

for people saying they like maturity, hear me out - age doesn't dictate maturity. I see many young people more matured than older people 🤦🤦

[ValentinaCervera]

For girls saying its because they like maturity: It does not come with age. My dad behaves like a complete teenager at the point that I feel like he is more like a brother to me and my siblings and he is 60. My current boyfriend is 3 years younger than me (I’m 24) and he has been the healthiest relationship I ever had and behaves more mature than my previous ones that were way older than me. Maturity is a choice once you become an adult. Dealing with past traumas and their consequences are one’s responsibilty and no one else’s.

I have to admit that for me this is true, I do have unmet childhood needs, and my childhood was not a happy one. Now I understand why I am more attracted to older women. I technically am craving for that parental love and affection that I didn't receive to fulfill my emotional demands.

[slimaine]

Men between 25 and 40 are just way more stable, masculine and attractive than young boys. Besides, it's a natural desire for women to be with a man slightly older

[JamaicanFujoshi]

No. I just don't like people playing with my feelings.

[tinyrick]

I was raised old school, not a lot my age can relate and don’t share the same morals, views and goals. It ain’t always that deep 😂

[theanimal]

Older women aren't as spoiled, know what they want, know how to please a man and are just good for my soul.

[roseberrybushasmr]

it turns me on when i see they have a kid. and they treat them nicely. because that’s how i want them to treat me.

[MikeKollin]

It's in our DNA...
Younger women have always been attracted to older men! Period.
It's part of your mating strategy for healthier smarter children and for stronger family, protection, provision etc...

In other words this is normal and healthy!

but some people do have needs of an older person for unmet childhood needs... a friend of mine was only attracted to much older women...

1 day he broke down crying and told me his mom died when he was 4 years old and he missed her with all his heart...

[sofiasanchezvarela]

This is the answer I have been looking for. And I have never ever even been in any sort of romantic relationship, but I just happen to feel attracted to older men somehow. I have never acted in my feelings tho, I actually want to get rid of that habit since I recognize it comes from a necessity that wasn’t fulfilled.

[Nyxx]

can I have a preference without you assuming shii ?? 💀

[levihorn]

For me it’s because older women don’t play games and are typically less drama. Most all women my age or younger drink exclusively, party, do onlyfans, etc… the ones that don’t are taken or high maintenance.
