I asked “Charming,” the 50 year-old woman who I quoted in Know any Unavailable, Dishonest, Self-Centered Men in Pittsburgh for CHARMING? to expand on the experiences that lead to this statement: “If you’re young enough to be my son I’ve been enjoying all those brave winks and e-mails. Keep em coming! Growl.”

Here’s her reply:

Been on Match a month and a half. In the first 2 weeks I had 5 winks from young men under 35.

Amused — I winked back.

Three brave souls went as far to follow up with e-mail, which I unfortunately deleted. Basically, they said something very similar:
“You’re really hot. (news 2 me!) Do you go for younger men?”

My reply to each:
“Well, Bad BOY I will never shoot a MAN for trying, and I’m flattered, but flattery will not get you anywhere in my case. Thanks anyway, but you are WAY too young for me!!! Better luck elsewhere.”

Only one die-hard 25-year-old wrote back after that:
“Do you like bad boys? I don’t have any problem with our age difference. Why should you? Age is just a number.”

That’s when I had answered:
“Give me your mother’s number so I can tell her what you’re up to”

No reply.

LOL

Having learned, now I just ignore them.

I’m still very intrigued by the younger guy – older woman thing. Are young women just too much work? Are they afraid of marriage o and children and a women well past menopause is appealing? Are older women perceived as being more desperate an thus easier? I just don’t get it. Any ideas?

Any men out there who date older women who could help me figure this out?
