Why does it seem like only younger men are interested in middle aged educated established woman?
I try talking to men my own age & they are always looking for the trophy partner who is 20 yrs younger than them?
Men 20 yrs younger than me r the ones who want to talk to me, are they just looking for a sugar mama? Or, are they the ones who are not intimidated by a professional girl?

No, I think you may be on to something. No matter how confident we may appear to everyone else, we all have our insecurities; our self-disappointments and personal (and sometimes private) failures. For a man, this can be very difficult to deal with. I think that when we meet a woman our own age who has had greater success, there may be intimidation. Let's face it, no matter how old we get, none of us guys likes it when we get beat by a girl. And don't forget that we were brought up in a different age when men were supposed to be the providers, along with some other gender roles that have gone the way of the dinosaur. These deeply ingrained traditions and moral values don't go away easily, nor should they necessarily, although they do sometimes tend to inhibit in some ways, just as you have so clearly illustrated.
Boy, this is fun. I could do this all day.

Society teaches us to role play & when step our of the boundaries we seem to be punished.
Woman who take care of themselves financially appear not to need a man in their life, this so untrue though!
How do strong woman still appear to be the weaker sex when it comes to romance?

I think most younger men are looking for an older woman just to score a cougar or milf.
For me, age is has little meaning, younger or older.
As long as we're attracted to each other, sexually compatible, have similar interest and goals, she's intelligent, mature, she respects herself and me, and she's a good woman who appreciates a good man, we should be fine.

Your data is incorrect. It is not possible to generalize because everyone is free to pick who they fancy. Why would men your age be intimidated by professional women? If you said they know better than to come close to a professional woman, I would maybe understand where that is coming from. Cheers! Vinod

There is a huge difference in the attitude & beliefs of the baby boomer generation verses the gen Xer's & even greater difference in the millenniums! Culture has changed & the mind set on gender roles has changed as well.

Boomers were raised to believe the man should be the supporter of the family. Xer's are the first generation that woman were suppose to be equals in the work force, tho we all know pay scales are still not equal. The millennium generation is truly the first to see woman as equals.
My point being that younger men are far less threatened by profession woman because of societies changes.

my point being that you are grossly overgeneralizing. was not the equal rights amendment pushed by the baby boomer generation? the womens liberation movement? if women have made any progress at all it's because of people like me advocating for women during much of the seventies. my daughter is about your age and i recall watching the democrats debate in 2008 with her. hilary had just made some point or another and my daughter said that she could never vote for her. i asked her why that was and she replied that the bible says that a woman must be subserviant to her husband so voting for hilary would be the same as voting bill clinton into a third term because she would be biblically bound to bow to the wants of her husband when making policy decisions. and you say you're generation does not have members who stifle the progress of equal treatment of women?

Actually if you do a bit of research you'll find this is an extremely common problem arising with women as of late. The problem isn't men want trophy wives, its that men don't want an equal partner. They want to be the king of their castle like it once was before the feminist empowerment movement. I am not making this stuff up. Have a couple articles.

Lara I don't think it's about the professional side men look at, I'm 20 and I take care of myself and older men try to talk to me in fact they try more then someone around my age
I think its exactly the professional side men look at. The reason men talk to younger women is frequently BECAUSE younger women are not career driven and even those who are stable with a job and can take care of themselves - frequently do so out of need not out of being career driven. Far more girls in their teens and twenties WANT to be taken care of than that ladies who have careers - who vastly want to take care of themselves and have a partner who takes care of themselves.
Whats the purpose of the relationship if the man can't take care of the woman? Companionship? I think most men could do just as well with a maid service, a puppy, and a hooker.
(I'm just being honest this is what I feel this is)

I did say "far more" not "all".
Honestly though, I think guys who for girls that they can take care of, vastly would pass over a career driven 20 year old just as easily as the career driven 50 year old.
However truthfully there are more younger girls taking that traditional role of "I want to be taken care of" than that of their parents generation... leading a lot of men to look to the younger generation, as the ones in their generation have been all but brainwashed that equality only exists in a two income family where a woman is empowered because she works in the work field.
When women couldn't work, they wanted that right (and rightfully so).
However now that the right does exist, many women want to go back to being taken care of by men, and many men seek those kind of women out. They are vastly the younger generation. This doesn't mean ALL... but there are a lot.

Heck, I would like to find an equal that would work together to benefit all. I don't really care about age. But those in my age bracket seem to like to have too much fun after raising their kids, and are not interested in doing so again. What does that leave me with to choose from? Younger ones seem to get the wrong idea as to most my age just want younger to play with. ..... Ahhh. I've already said all of this before. Now if there is a gal that could prove me wrong locally. lol

It dosent matter. When a womans built in triggers are hit, she cant control her burning desire for you. No matter profession or stability because she feels that you can fulfill all of her desires which has nothing to do with material things. Everything a woman desires is emotional, mental, sexual, and subconscious desires. These are true desires which I want my equal parner conscience of. Not those fake generic material desires which cant be truly fulfilled. Only true desires can be truly fulfilled.

having an older lady means a few things, 1) you have experience, 2) you have stability, 3) we don't have to teach you how to be a lady, you already know. 4) your alot more mature, 5) us younger guys love a cougar

==============================
For the record, I am not intimidated by anyone or anything.
Men in their 40s and 50s, and I know lots of them, start out by looking for much younger ladies because they dont want, to be blunt, the troubles they just got rid of. Sure, its a generalization, but why date a 45 year old who beauty and body is fading, if not gone, who has issues with kids all the time, when you can, if you have the professional job and income, attract the eye candy? His definition of relationship may be far different than yours or mine.
And yes, thats a gross overgeneralization. You just havent run into the right guy in the right situation yet. It takes time. I figured out years ago where I stood in life, and am happy. Being a bit of a nonconformist I dont measure myself against others as many people do. So I get personal satisfaction from life and enjoy it. So if you are an established person with your own self identity and measure of self worth, I am not intimidated. But a relationship still requires a meeting of the minds on how we live life and what is important to us individually as well as a couple. A lot of people never have those conversations.
Since you are local, happy to continue the conversation.
I work with a lot of younger people, so have a pulse on how they think, except I cant figure out the music.
Enjoy.

Whats your definition of equal:
Equal intelligence, inquisitiveness, and active mind.
Equal looks
Equal financially
Equal charm
Equal amounts of energy and drive

Nah! You love the idea of a woman paying for your stuff and your bills and giving you all the sex you want. Girls your own age won't do that stuff! You forgot that with experience older women have a lot of knowledge about men and how they think.

I am sixty and if I were to take an interest in you would you think I was looking for a 'Trophy'?
Where were you when John F. Kennedy was shot or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated?
Do you know about the 'Cuban Missile Crisis'? Were you taught how to hide under your desk in elementary school because the Russians were likely to send a missile over North Pole and we Canadians were in the direct line of fire?
I am not saying that these issues are insurmountable but the twelve years that separate us is pretty significant.
In terms of a flirtatious relationship - one that is only held on to until the 'real thing' arrives, some people are flattered and willing to engage in them. If you are one of those people then your questions are more about seeking approval than requesting feedback. If you are not willing to enter into one of these part-time 'casual' kinds of relationships and your interest is in finding someone for a 'real' relationship then you have, by this post, set certain boundaries. However, I cannot tell from your posts which it is. It doesn't matter to me personally but for you having that clarity may be important.
I have toyed with the idea of a 'casual' relationship before in my mind but have decided that it would be unwise as it isn't what I really want.
And NO - I am absolutely not intimidated by anyone else's professional status, money or position. I am interested in their quality of character, sincerity of heart, generous spirit and purposeful drive. If you have the former that is fine but they are secondary to the latter.
