 What Men Have To Say
British Actor Daniel Craig (aka James Bond) starred in the film The Mother (2003): He says "When older men get together with much younger women, his friends slap him on the back. Vice versa...People make
fun of it...But what is actually wrong with it?...Actually its nobody's business..."
Lenny, 38: Neither of my relationships was about being mothered. Both women were professional, very focused on their work lives and extremely confident and sure of themselves. That was very attractive to me.
Michael, 27: They were just surprised that she was dating me first of all. It was interracial so that was different for them. They had a tough time accepting that at first, even more than the age gap. After they got to know me, they were okay with it.
Barry, 26: I got more of a reaction from men than women. The men my age and older were jealous that I was with her. They would look at me as if I had something they wanted and didn’t have; because I was younger, they reacted more strongly. And women my age disapproved of the relationship...but I would wake up happy...our relationship just made me feel great.
Ahmad, 40: Don’t get to analytical. If you’re open to it—and she’s open to it, just do it. If you try to break it down, you can get lost in the tangle. It’s a relationship and she’s older, so?
Andy, 28: I love feisty! I like a woman to have that spirit. I think the cougars have it, or some anyway. It's a massive turn on. I like the thought of a woman knowing how to have a laugh and not being so up tight. I guess that comes with age.
Greg, 36: I guess I’m “converted” now. I only want an adult woman. They know who they are – in and out of bed. I did the other route..looks great but it’s all show.

 What Women Have To Say
Barbara, 44: I didn’t want to date younger men, but men my age and older tell me I’m intimidating. Younger guys say they’re “turned on” by what they perceive as my power and accomplishments while older men reject all that I’ve become.
Karin Bacardi-Fien, 48: It's a cruel fact of life that when you are younger and at your most stunning, you aren't confident with men. But when you start getting wrinkles and your breasts are heading south, you become full of confidence. I think that's why I'm appealing to younger men. Young girls are starving themselves, whereas I am voluptuous, have my own life and am financially independent. I'm comfortable with myself.
Berta, 58: When we first got together, I had several people tell me it was self-esteem issues...that I didn’t believe I deserved more...It was harder because of his age...but it didn’t ring true...Then one lady said, “You must have really high self-esteem to do this...I just couldn’t handle it."
Loraine 48-year-old mother of two: I started seeing Nigel, who was seven years younger than me. I was blown away by him. He was so attentive and old-fashioned, and he held doors for me. I also liked the idea of someone younger and fitter looking after me as I got older. That relationship ended after six years, but when we parted, I found that I was a magnet for younger men. It wasn't a conscious decision to only date them—but I wouldn't do any different now.
Kathleen 39, speaking about Mark 27: I always liked older men. They seemed so exciting—wiser and more knowledgeable than me. Their power and confidence was a real turn on. Then one day (I was around thirty five), my thinking shifted. I saw these men as old, boring and used up. I saw rigid behavior, a set lifestyle and no sense of spontaneity and fun. When Mark came along I realised I needed that spark, that life-force he possessed. All the excitement and joy came back—and every day with him was like a new day.
Kathryn Janus, psychotherapist: Please do not let the age be the thing that keeps you from experiencing a potentially wonderful relationship.
