However, there is also a trend for younger men to be seeking older women.

That's because older women are a "sure thing." Guys don't have to put forth much effort to get in their pants, because for the most part, older women are desparate.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, not all of us. What is your experience level on this issue? Please give details.

Yes, all single men beware! Somewhere around you is a desperate older woman waiting to get you in her clutches. You can find us anywhere, we're just waiting for the next man to do us a favor!...LOL.

I wouldn't say "desperate", more like "reality has set in". Younger women can have fantasies of Prince Charming showing up (or in the modern versions of the story, like "Pretty Woman", having a billionaire investor suddenly recognise their irresistable charms).

Older women have to face reality: if Prince Charming hasn't shown up by 30 (much less 40), it's time to select your best deal from the pool of people who actually have an interest in you.
