Men reveal: 'Why I date younger women'

By Tobey Grumet

Ever feel like all the men your age are dating women half your age? OK. Maybe not half your age. But you get the idea. What makes men drawn to younger women? Is it just about looks and our youth-centric culture? Well, that’s part of it. But you might be surprised that the real reasons go way beyond the physical. Men, it turns out, are a bit more complicated than that!

感觉到你这岁数的男士都爱约会比自己小得多的女士了吗？呵呵，甚至岁数比自己小一半还多的?难道只是因为相貌和以年轻为美的观念?那只是部分原因.如果说到那不仅是生理上的原因,你也许会有点儿奇怪.事实证明,男人的想法还是要复杂些的.

It’s about math…

“When you reach your late 30s, it's not so much that dating a younger woman becomes more attractive, it's just harder not to. The law of averages means that proportionately fewer women your age are single. But dating a woman in her 20s when you’re approaching 40 is also less demanding; you’re not faced with the same requirements to make a decision about your future. When your new girlfriend is 36, she expects you’re thinking about the next few years, not just the next few dates.”

―Colin, 38, Chicago, IL

是数字使然

男人到了奔四十的年纪,不是说约会年轻女士更能吸引你,而是不约会年轻的很难。规律告诉我们你那岁数单身"老"女人的比例已经很小了.当然你也不必在快四十的时候一定去约会一个二十几岁的女孩.不同年纪的女人对你的要求也不一样.如果她36,想的可能是你们这几年的事情,而不是象20几的仅仅想到以后的几次约会

Have it my way

"I'd say the allure is that younger women are less judgmental and less set in their ways. They don't (yet) have a laundry list of what they want in a partner, in a career, in a life. Younger women are more user-friendly, I suppose. I think that kind of attitude appeals to thirtysomething guys who want a relationship to really be on our terms."

―Larry, 35, Edison, NJ

自己做主

"我得说年轻女人的吸引力就是没那么主观和没有那些刻板的处世方式.她们还没来得及准备每次都列出一个她们喜欢的东西的清单给你看.呵呵,年轻女人还是容易控制点儿.这种姿态对我们这些三十老几想跟女士建立良好关系的人还是有吸引力的".

The fun patrol

“Honestly, younger women are sometimes more open to goofy good times than a women who has a few years on her. You can invite them to Kung Fu Hustle without getting a skeptical look.”

―Mitchell, 39, Baltimore, MD

更多乐趣

"说实话,年轻女人有时比年长几岁的更能容忍一些瞎折腾的场合.比如邀她们去看中国功夫片时不会招来怀疑的眼神"

Check all baggage, please

“The appealing thing about younger women is their outlook on life. They tend to be untainted by experiences that have hardened older women. Like when a woman’s been lied to a lot after years of dating, she always thinks you’re lying to her. And that’s a turnoff. Younger women are less cynical and that’s a big draw.”

―Alan*, 46 New York

不喜欢老女人的生活积淀

年轻女人的可爱之处在于她们对生活的态度.以为年纪她们会更少地接触饱经风霜的女人经历的东西.就象一个有在几年约会中多次被骗经历的女人,总是想着你也是个骗子那样:}这就是转变.年轻女人不是那么尖刻,这就是吸引力."

Marriage-minded…not!

“What makes a younger woman a good catch? She's not itching to have a ring on her finger. She's interested in the here and now, in going out, in having fun. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s reality. I'm not anti-marriage, I'm just anti-agenda. A younger woman seems more willing to let things take their natural course.”

―Roger, 35, New York, NY

不刻意追求婚姻

年轻女人的吸引力来自何方?她不刻意追求那个戴在手指上的戒指,而是更关心此时此地的乐趣.也许听着象陈词滥调,但这是事实。我不反对结婚,但讨厌为结婚设定时间表.年轻女人似乎更愿意顺其自然.

The age-defying principle

"When a guy reaches a certain age, he worries he sees his youth and vitality wane. A younger woman reaffirms for me that I’ve still got it going on."

―Mike, 40, Orlando, FL

与岁月抗衡的感觉

"男的到了一定岁数,就担心岁月留痕\活力渐失.与年轻女人在一起让我觉得我还行"

Let me lead…

“One advantage of dating a younger woman is that you can play ‘cruise director’―show her all your secret favorite places that she probably hasn’t experienced yet. They’re easier to impress and very willing to be escorted around. Women like it when you have a plan and it’s well-executed.”

―Bill, 33, New York, NY

我主导

"跟年轻女人约会的优势之一就是你能当个"向导".带她们去你喜欢的而她们没经历过的那些地方.这样更容易打动她们,而且她们也愿意陪伴左右.女人喜欢有个明确的计划并很好实行的男人".
