Basically the title. I have an active social life and interact with a lot of women of all ages. Something I've noticed is that women older than me (40s and up) are drawn to me, whereas women my age or younger aren't. I'm not trying to humblebrag; I'm genuinely baffled, and if I'm being honest, kinda frustrated. I'm not interested in dating older women, but they're the only ones who seem open to it. The women I am interested in dating aren't rude or anything, there just seems to be this invisible wall they put up that says "I'm not interested in dating". I've been told repeatedly that I'm not creepy, repulsive, rude, or anything that might be a disqualifier, so what's the deal?

Dunno but I rejoined dating apps recently and all my likes are women older than me except one ..
Cuz your early fankles (face wrinkles) match their kankles (ankle wrinkles).
You got this gramps.
I think that’s just one of the joys of reaching your 30s. I’m 33f and I can only attract young men. Men my age or older want nothing to do with me.
Young women are concerned about the wrong things. They are absolutely awful at picking men.
Women are ready to settle down when they hit a certain age.
Because the older you are, the lower your standards. Young girl can have any guy so they are picky, while older ones have lower standards since they’re not as young.
Are you attractive but not successful? Bc I think older women would be more likely to open to that VS someone your own age looking for someone with more than looks
IDK surely it’s just an intangible vibe thing. I have the same thing in reverse – ever since my late 20s, only guys a few years younger than me are really interested. No explanation.
Bro youre blessed and you dont even know it. Older women are the best. They know their shit, usually have their life together. Less drama, either already have kids or dont want anymore.
Treat yourself and have a MILF.
Do you look older than your age? No offence, but many men are balding or getting more grey hairs in their early 30s.
I’ve noticed a lot of men are actually younger than I would initially guess, so maybe the younger women think your too old for them and the older women think you’re the same age.
Younger women might be looking for a husband or someone to have a child with, so they will want you to be a lot of things that maybe you aren’t able to or willing to provide. Whereas older women might not want those same things and dating for only shits and giggles.
I’m 32M and tend to attract older women as well. My last relationship was with a 38 year old woman. Nothing wrong with it. I do want a family one day though.
This was my situation in life and online dating for a long time, except it was with single women with a kid. They flocked to me online, but single, childless women, found no interest.
Maybe the older ladies have heard about this study — [why older women dating younger men are more satisfied](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-myths-of-sex/202303/older-women-who-date-younger-men-are-more-satisfied/amp) — and are wanting to find out for themselves… Equally, as a 28F myself, I get apprehensive about dating anyone who’s older than 32 lol
