I have been reading a few post on a yahoo group. I deals with younger men wanting older men.
Some say that younger guys have a hunger for older men.
What do you say? Is there a "hunger" by the younger crowd?
And what are you limits to the age. Either for a younger man dating and older man and older men dating a younger man?

Until I left the dating scene for a partner last year, I wouldn't date men more than 5 years younger than me, with one disastrous exception at 10 years younger that only proved my rule. Here's why I have no hunger for younger men, and reject those who approach me:
There's a generational disconnect that neither of us is likely to bridge. Most of the things we know are grounded in the era in which we lived, especially during our formative years. Certainly cultural things likes movies, music, TV, styles in every field, catch phrases & slang, celebrities and so forth become part of our personal fabric. Added to that are politics, world & national events, educational approaches and many more.
That cultural snapshot we carry with us influences how we frame our references, view the world, and molds even the very manner of our thought processes. When those cultural references are seriously out of alignment, we have the infamous "generation gap" that my own generation made popular in the 1960s, and which can still exist today.
As a result, a date that's something more than a trick with drinks thrown in will not work for me, if I can't communicate and relate to the other guy. He's talking 1990s and I'm talking 1970s, and those can be like foreign languages to each other.
It's the classic idea of having something in common or not, and for me a fundamental of that commonality has always been shared experiences and outlook. I find it with my own age group, and a little older, but not much with the younger crowd.

Dirty bitch! You should know.  I dunno about real life, but I sure get hit up by a lot of 18 year olds on RJ and other gay sites. I'm already a cradle robber, but I would have to say that late 20s/early 30s would be my hypothetical limit.

Jayyp16 saidBeing 18 I'd have to admit that older guys are just attractive because they're mature...And usually aren't looking for hookups, and despite popular cliches...some of us youngin's just want some love. Thanks for a fair and sincere observation. Sure you want some love, and I can empathize with you about maturity, because that's high on my list, too.
The problem for older guys like me is that I'm working against the clock here; not much time left. I gotta plan for the REALLY old years, when no twink will care for me, but maybe someone my own age will stick by me, and we'll care for each other.
A young fella can move on to another man when an old guy like me drops dead, or gets put in a home. But if a twink leaves me now, it's likely a little too late for me to start the partner process all over again. I'm on my own until the end.
So that's another reason young men don't interest me: there's no future in it for me, and no future in it for them. Unless they think I'm gonna write them into my will, and that's the kind of guy I'd especially try to avoid.

I used to be attracted to older men throughout my life. But it really doesn't seem to matter now that I am almost 40 myself. Chronological age isn't a guarantee for garnered emotional maturity.
I am generally not drawn to younger guys but I wouldn't close the doors permanently on the possibility.

CuriousJockAZ saidI can definitely confirm that younger guys have a hunger for older men -- Thank GOD I live near ASU    When they are hot...who am I to discriminate?  Besides, as I've stated before - older guys have a tendency to know how to fuuuckk hehe Seriously though, I've always found the 30's age bracket rather attractive - they tend to have a rugged manliness that is incredibly hot. Personally, I think it's a sign telling me to look for a relationship when I'm in my 30's

***Virgin here***
Obviously I have no experience when it comes to men- who is the better lover, someone older or someone younger.
I differ I guess... I like guys adround my age and hope to settle down with one close to my age 5 yrs.
I can picture myself being with someone older and someone younger, but that age range runs from 19-28 years old. I think dating guys in their 30's, 40's and so on would be difficult in a way-- different paths in life. I'm at a different stage in my life than a guy in his 40's. I want someone to relate to and who can relate to me. Also I find youth more attractive than middle age/old age.
I think though that my preception may be off a bite. I suffered through an illness for six years and watched a large part of my young adulthood fly by me-- hence, I HATE getting older and thinking about getting older. I hate my birthday haha. I dunno like I'm not as horny as I used to be... and pretty soon things will start wearing down/breaking down/going slower within my body... no matter how much i work out.
I guess I'm like Pater Pan... except a young adult Peter. I don't want to age, get wrinkles, lose my memory, have a slower metabolism.
It is inevitable though and I'm working on excepting that fact lol
Though, if I met the right guy and we totally clicked and loved each other... I wouldn't necessarily care about his age-- but I still "search" for boyfriends who are around my own age..... at least for now!

Kuddos to you Jayyp ..age is just a number and the maturity in what you just said does prove that you can be 18 but well aware of what you really want and a little wiser than a what most people think that age should be . Your right youngin's do want some love and i hope there are guys who recognize that us older guys need some too

I'd agree. I am 20. Been out of the closet for 2 years and have never dated a guy. But the ones I have come close to dating were 26 and 35... all of my gay friends are from 21 to 35 basically... Older are mature, know what they want, and know where they are going..
Sure I am young. But I have a goal in mind after college. and am maturing ahead for my age. My hand can do anything a guy can ;) so friends are my thing now. never did a slutty phase, probably never will.
Older men just know what they want and what they have. Cuddling and movies with them and discussion is always a good thing

Speaking for myself, I find the reasons I'm attracted to older men have nothing to do with looking for someone to take care of. I've had a stable, self-supporting job since I was 21. I actually have issues with someone 'taking care' of me. I don't like to rely on others. Mature men, who have a sence of themselfs, know who they are and what they want in life, thats the most attractive quality.
And like BioMatty said, you don't have to worry about em in the bedroom. I mean, I've taught a guy a trick or two, but gernally the know what thier doing, as opposed to the younger kids.

Being that I'm only 27 there isn't a ton that I could really call 'younger' when it comes to dating. I will agree with Red that there are a lot of generation issues that form and I've seen this enough with friends of mine (until I moved to Chicago, most of my friends were old enough to also have been my parents).
Right now I'm seeing someone that's 22 however it's not working out well simply because of his age and how it relates to what I look for. I really don't find a vast age range attractive - right now I typically look for people that are 25-34 because the most important thing to me is that I need to connect with someone on a mental level and too much of a gap makes that all the more difficult. Stability is another thing. With an older guy, your chances are a lot higher than with someone younger. But with someone too much older, I find that the 'father' complex forms where it's the older partner being more in control vs. equality.
Really, it just boils down to what you're looking for and your personality. Age is not a set scale on which to judge someone; life and all its experiences are what make each of us unique.

I will say MATURE men rather than older men are just more attractive to me in general because they are more confident, not so caught up in the superficial and better educated, not necessarily in school but about life in general. Conversations are good and we can both learn things from eachother. They just seem to have it together a bit more.

I think the whole idea limiting who you date based on age is absurd. And this idea that the youngest you should date is half your age plus 7 is just as absurd- who the hell came up with that!? I bet there was a lot of hard science behind that equation. My point is this: if you find someone that you connect with on any level, who cares what age he is? I'm dating someone 13 yrs younger than me and it's been the healthiest relationship I've been in. Some men my age don't know what they want, and are more immature than men half my age. And the best thing about our relationship is that although we have a lot in common, there is so much we don't that we learn from one another. I'd rather be in a relationship where I learn something every day from my partner instead of some dull, mundane relationship with someone just because they are closer to my age.

Young guys are hungry for ANY kind of sex! That's why we have people with fetishes - they're bored of all the "hunger" and need something to focus on. Do I have a sexual hunger for older men? I guess so, but would never act on my desires unless it was meaningful. Run now...I'm looking for a LTR. Age limits? Doesn't that defeat the classification part of this question? I suppose I'd have to limit beginning a relationship with someone at age 55. I'd like to have at least a good 20 years with "Mr. Right!"

i agree with most of the 'young' guys on here.
i'm in my early 20's, and I am definitely attracted more to older guys than younger guys. not all of us young'uns are immature, undriven and strictly on the prowl for some hot animal sex. (although every now and then when i'm not in a relationship, i do get the urge...to herbal...lol).
in addition, a lot of the younger guys I meet are immature, shallow, don't have a lot going on in their life, and are living a rather superficial life; not looking for a deeper meaning to life or life-changing experiences.
i consider myself mature for my age, and there's something about an older man that just does it for me.
maybe its their maturity. their experience. their wisdom. or the way that they mature and age. (btw, overgrooming aside, men age incredibly well and i find it very attractive). i dont know. call me 'hungry', but i'm a sucker for older guys.

I know that I am attracted to older gays because they are usually more masculine than gays my age. I think that men in their 30's and 40's can still be extremely sexy, and they also grew up during a time when it was not acceptable whatsoever to be a flaming queen. The guys my own age are mostly spoiled princesses that want a new "serious relationship" every month or so and think that love is constantly being filled with cock as long as this person has been your "boyfriend" for at least 3 hours.
Thinking about being with any guy who has the mentality of a teenage girl and dances like an intoxicated stripper makes me cringe.
Most young guys think that being the gayest of the gay will draw positive attention to them, and while I have a lot of fun with people like this, I couldn't date one.
Older guys are kind of easy to get. They are more straightforward about having sex and will let you know whether or not they are looking for a relationship. They have had enough time to get past their super gay stage, and homes and hopefully beds that are their own. I want to be able to go to both a hockey game and a Madonna concert with someone, and that is what most older men are able to serve up.

Maybe it's some natural law, but the older guy usually is the one that is expected to call all the shots and be the wise one. That is flattering, but sometimes I want my guy to be the one to take the lead so I can chill. Sometimes I want a guy who "gets" all my references and can relate to what I am saying very easily.

I guess I should modify my statement - I won't date an 'older' guy (more than 5 years my senior) not only because, as a general rule I don't 'date', but also because of the generational things previously mentioned. The reasons I don't date are varied, but have more to do with the fact that I'm leaving this shithole of a city (ok, it's not that bad, but fuck, I grew up here) in a year or 2, and I refuse to do long-distance of more than 100 km. It's not fair to lead a guy on, and I find that older guys are much more capable of dealing with this than the guys my age that fall in love in about 30 seconds. Really, I'm not all that lovable.  but OW, anytime you feel like NOT fucking the dead...I've got a pulse. Just remember, no matter the size of the bed, when I sleep on it, there's really only room for one.

I know it would be cool to date someone with that experience, but at the same time it would also be cool to learn and grow with the person you are with.

Of course dating an "older" guy is relative. For a 20 something dating a 30 yr old is older and dating someone 50 (my age) is often unthinkable. Actually dating a 50 yr old is pretty much unthinkable anyway I've found...it's "over" that magic line.
And I take offense at anyone who thinks that the older guys are all fat and slobs who don't take care of themselves, I don't consider myself either. I've worked hard to get and stay like this and I'm anything but fat...ugly is debatable, I'll give you that.
And you'll hear a lot of guys say..oh yeah I'd date someone older and most don't define older. If they say older than 50 they're probably full of S$%# because it's a rarity trust me.
The much younger are looking for maturity and a father like figure, those in their 30s generally not interested, 40s generally looking for someone in their 30s and 50s are often out of shape, don't care how they look and wonder why no one will pay them the time of day.
My 2cents...for what it's worth.

what an intresting thread...just the fact that this topic is out there makes me think I can wait awhile before going out to pasture  To be honest when I was 30 I probably didn't give guys over 45 a second look. It is nice to know that some of you are open minded enough to not be as short sighted as I was...

I can offer with a degree of certitude that bright, well educated, career oriented, well traveled, stable, good looking younger guys are hungry for mature guys with those same qualities. It is all in the experience.

I was a virgin until 22. I only went out with guys my age, 2 or 3 years younger or older but 25 seemed old at that time. Young men are adorable, at the peak of perfection, but you don't know how they will age or what crazy change in direction they might take. I'd love to be loved by one now that I'm 47 but I never search for them. I search for guys about 7 years younger or older. When I was about 27 and in college, I dated an 18 year old college student and was surprised when he told me his age. He was the youngest and furthest apart in age.

Lost_Lover saidI have been reading a few post on a yahoo group. I deals with younger men wanting older men.
Some say that younger guys have a hunger for older men.
What do you say? Is there a "hunger" by the younger crowd?
And what are you limits to the age. Either for a younger man dating and older man and older men dating a younger man?
40 is the new 25 so my limit would be hmmm 18-45 ;)) but is it because of sex? nah don't think so, more of assumed maturity and stability

mtnjock saidI think the whole idea limiting who you date based on age is absurd. And this idea that the youngest you should date is half your age plus 7 is just as absurd- who the hell came up with that!? I bet there was a lot of hard science behind that equation. My point is this: if you find someone that you connect with on any level, who cares what age he is? I'm dating someone 13 yrs younger than me and it's been the healthiest relationship I've been in. Some men my age don't know what they want, and are more immature than men half my age. And the best thing about our relationship is that although we have a lot in common, there is so much we don't that we learn from one another. I'd rather be in a relationship where I learn something every day from my partner instead of some dull, mundane relationship with someone just because they are closer to my age. I totally agree with this sentiment. I am attracted to younger guys, and wouldn't hesitate to date someone 10 or even 15 years younger (I'm 34 now). One of my best friends is 18 and I've learned a lot about myself from my friendship with him. In my experience, age is truly nothing but a number.

Jayyp16 saidBeing 18 I'd have to admit that older guys are just attractive because they're mature...And usually aren't looking for hookups, and despite popular cliches...some of us youngin's just want some love. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I have met many older guys want to hook up and nothing more. I find a lot of young guys are more mature than older guys. That is my opinion. I could be wrong?

Another thing... Some older guys don't have enough energy for party or have sex. That is why some older guys may look mature, but in their head they want sex and party lol

Probably more to do with the individual than the age. Older guys that just want to hook up were probably like that in their early 20s as well. Or they have become jaded with relationships due to bad experiences, who knows. I rarely wanted casual sex when I was 20, 25, 30, etc.. I always wanted the stability and intimacy of a relationship.

At this point in my life, I would never trade my age for youth. It's impossible for younger guys to understand the confidence and total power that comes from having wisdom and experience........in every area of life.
If you were to tell me when I was 20 that I would be at my best at 50, I would have laughed at you. But it's true.
Don't get me wrong. There are some very wise youngins out there, and I get my share of attention from them. I enjoy the exhuberence and energy and new ideas they bring to the table.
The best thing about being older is having that same exhuberence and curiosity about life and sharing those qualities with a younger guy. Also, sharing those qualities with a guy my age is priceless.
Healthy lifestyle, proven methods of stress reduction, letting go of grudges, laughing, and a firm belief that "everything I put out there comes back to me" will make you feel and look young.
I think gay guys hurt themselves when they add age as yet another issue to discriminate and ostricize each other......as if the gay community needs more reasons to treat each other with disrespect.

Eh...I won't deny the fact that older men drive me nuts....though, anything more than 10 years my senior just makes things awkward....that's TOO much of a generational gap for me to really key into the personality of whomever.

I somewhat agree. When I am on hook up sites I will just about never start anything up with someone less than about 35. Thats about 15 years younger. Still I have no problem hooking up, just for sex, with someone younger but they would have to make the first move. Beyond that though, we just can't talk at all....

Age is Mind Over Matter. If you dont mind, it doesn't matter! 
Generational gap? Life Stage?? Maturity level? I agree that all 3 of these things are important.
But basically, Isn't it all about a connection with someone??
Relationships between men are hard enough to manuver without adding more conditions and rules.
(MANuver hahaha!)

ObsceneWish saidRed VespaYes, being 96 as your profile states does likely narrow the field for you. Have your tried watching the "Today" show where Smuckers does the salute to those over 100? Some prime candidates there. BTW, you look extremely good for your age. Any age, in fact.
Smuckers? The jelly people? That stuff is great. You don't have to chew it and you can use it for lube too.
LOL!! Easy to get down when you take your dentures out, too, huh?
