A 15 year age gap with an older woman is a rarity.
The cougar thing sure has gotten a lot of press. We even have a Real Cougar Lifestyle Examiner. But do men really want older women?
According to a recent article in the Boston Globe, the answer is no.
Men will always seek the traditional relationship involving a younger woman. This holds especially true as men age. For some of them, they never develop a liking for women their own age.
I always set my age bracket for 2 years younger through 10 years older. But despite this, I'd get emails from men insisting they were "a young 54" or that "everybody thinks I'm in my 30s."
According to a spokesperson for free online dating site PlentyOfFish, for every 55-year-old man with a profile, there are three 55-year-old women. Sad, but true.
Mark Brooks of Courtland Brooks and Online Personals Watch was quoted as saying "With men dating women, it tends to be up to six years younger but it will only be up to two years older."
Have you ever dated someone significantly older or younger than you? How did it work out?

I am looking for an older woman! right now early 30s seem good. I'm in my mid 20s (25), but I discovered this a few years ago.
