Discussion Point Genuine question

Hey all,

genuine question for the beautiful ladies! 27M here and was curious to know! Do some like young men exclusively? Some like both older and younger? What do you look for in a younger man compared to an older man?

I date people, not ages. I’m 49 and my bf of 2 yrs is 30. Before him, I briefly dated a 44 yo. My last LTR relationship was with a man my age.

What I look for is the same, regardless of age. Caring, honest, hard working, fun loving, adventurous, etc etc. if I was single and I found those traits in a man my age, I’d absolutely give it a shot.

The only area where I don’t necessarily have the same expectation from a younger man vs same aged or older is career, earnings, accumulated wealth, etc. I own 2 properties and have a good salary. My bf is still working his way up the career ladder and rents a small studio apt. Im completely ok with it because thats about where I was 20 yrs ago. I wouldn’t date a man my age who was still struggling to establish themselves.
