    Yep, so long as there’s not a huge gap in the power dynamics, such as the guy isn’t their boss.

    Absolutely, just be careful with your heart. When I was in my early 20s a 40 something lady pulled me into a long-term relationship that was highly regrettable. Granted, best sex of my life by far. Some women that age are absolutely insatiable.

    It’s usually the other way around.

    Let’s modify your question a bit and see if it still makes sense:

    “is it normal for men to flirt with women?”

    Yes.

    Everything else is superfluous details.

    Probably not super common, but sure, why not?

    Online there is no normal.

  9. Quiet-Bloom_XO Avatar

    yeah, it’s totally normal. people are attracted to all kinds of things, and age doesn’t have to be a big deal 😄

  10. DuskwindEcho_5 Avatar

    Definitely, age is just a number, and if there’s a connection, why not?😊

  11. Financial-Maximum237 Avatar

    Yeah. Even 50’s early 60’s

  12. Educational-Tone2074 Avatar

    Yes. Perhaps the woman in her 40s got it going on for them

  13. VapoXD Avatar

    Im mid 20’s and i’ve never dated anyone below 40 so yea i guess so

  14. Spiritual_Impact8246 Avatar

    It was for me. Although you should be concerned with whether they want sex or a relationship. Relationships with older women are definitely more rare, but also happen.

    If she’s hot.

    Men will flirt with literally any woman if she’s attractive and/or they are horny.

    If she’s hot, why not. Experience can be sexy as hell.

    As a woman in her mid-40s, I’d have to say no, absolutely not, sadly. I haven’t been flirted with in decades.

  19. Simple_Step_9722 Avatar

    I think so, I get flirted with and hit on by much younger men pretty regularly. I’m 46.

  20. devildogger99 Avatar

    No but it should be.

  21. ValuableRegular9684 Avatar

    Yes, women seem to hit a period in their 40’s when they are extra horny, when I was doing PC repair in home it was very common to get hit on.

  22. JungleJuze Avatar

    I think it’s called hagmaxxing. Look it up.

  23. halodude423 Avatar

    It depends, are they a mature mostly put together adult? I (27m) dated a 37F from work for a while and it was the best relationship i’ve had so far. At the time I was taking care of my dad and it was good to be normal once in a while and she helped me be a bit better of an adult too so why not.

  24. lm2017italia Avatar

    It’s perfectly healthy. Flirting is natural. It’s a great boost to self esteem.

  25. Waytogolarry Avatar

    I’ve talked with a few guys lately at the bar that have expressed their preference for older women because women their age or younger are extremely demanding, entitled, and don’t bring much to the table. They said their older partners knew what they wanted and were happy to have a young man. 

    This is just anecdotal. Not a general statement. 

  26. OddPerspective9833 Avatar

    Yes, why wouldn’t it be?

  27. GhostKodes Avatar

    Older women usually don’t play games and are usually more straight to the point. So many younger men prefer older women.

  28. No1Czarnian Avatar

    If you look good sure

  29. Acrobatic-Skill6350 Avatar

    Flirting is okay. I could be flirting with 70 year olds when I was in my 20s. Didnt mean I wanted to have sex with them though. Some younger guys around 30 might be interested in women in their late 40s

  30. WorldlinessPlus6333 Avatar

    As a woman (48) it’s unbelievable the number of and amount of younger guys that hmu.
    It’s not for me (the age difference) but, wow do they try. I can do maybe plus/minus 5 years but, yeah. I’d have to say it’s normal. Probably not for a relationship but, to smash? Absolutely.

  31. VendaMel Avatar

    Absolutely! Age is just a number—and if the vibe is right, why not? Sometimes younger men just appreciate a woman with confidence, life experience, and a little extra sass. Let them shoot their shot! 

  32. AncientInteraction40 Avatar

    Yeah, but that’s a big age gap. Don’t be a creep pls

  33. PrestigiousTax5322 Avatar

    I am in my late 20s. When I was a kid I always had a thing for ladies in their 20s and 30s… as I’ve aged I’ve realized I still like those women I’m just almost 30 now and they have aged 20 years too

  34. Kimber80 Avatar

    My wife gets it all the time. If you’re hot, you’re hot

  35. WhyWhowants2No Avatar

    Yes. Turns out they lied to us. We don’t really look much different in our 40’s than we did in our 20’s and 30’s. The real difference is that we got experience and money now. As long as u look like something there will be men of all ages that are interested.

  36. LookinAtTheFjord Avatar

    Lots of young guys like older women. 40’s is usually when women peak sexually so it makes sense.

  37. Ade1980 Avatar

    Men want sex – shocker

  38. CitizenHuman Avatar

    Yes. In your 20s it’s called cougar hunting.

  39. whatchagonadot Avatar

    very common, if they look for a sugar mama or a one night stand.

  40. Round_Yogurtcloset41 Avatar

    Yes I did, and had sex with a 40 yo when I was 27, and a 37 year old a month later. Older women were loads of fun for me when I was younger.

  41. SpoonFed_1 Avatar

    Yeah, it’s not super common but it’s definitely not weird either.

    Attraction doesn’t always follow age rules and as long as everyone’s a consenting adult there’s nothing inherently off about it.

    Some guys in their late 20s or early 30s are genuinely into older women. Could be the confidence, the experience, the emotional stability, just a whole different vibe compared to dating someone their own age. Some are just physically attracted, plain and simple. Others might be curious, looking for something outside the usual, or maybe they’ve had good experiences dating older women before.

    It can turn heads depending on the setting like if it’s in a work environment or among conservative family but socially speaking the stigma isn’t what it used to be. If the interest is genuine and respectful then yeah it’s totally fair game.

    Are you asking because it’s happening to you or just wondering where the line is

  42. Syrajase Avatar

    Does the Pope where a funny hat?! Of course it’s normal. We want to plug in

  43. Natural_Estate4216 Avatar

    As woman in her mid to late 40’s who just started dating again, there is definitely a subset of young men that have a thing for older women.

    There are a variety of reasons for that. I gather that a lot of it comes down the fact that we tend to be more direct, we know what we want and how to ask for it. Particularly if we are busy people. We don’t tend to play games. And we are probably not looking for a commitment with a younger man. Some of them seem to be turned on by the power dynamic as well.

    It is now. Many young men are openly seeking financially secure older women. Must be love.

  52. perolikewhy714 Avatar

    I 48f seem to ONLY get approached by that age range. I hate it bcuz Im not attracted 😏

  53. DiversifyMN Avatar

    No, not at all. For someone in his 20s, women in their 40s are as old as their moms.

  54. IncubusIncarnat Avatar

    I’ve been flirting with women in their late 40s+ since I was 18. I dont think that has changed in 10 years 🤣

  55. boarbora Avatar

    No it’s not normal

  56. GiraffeWithATophat Avatar

    It depends. Are you hot? If yes, then yes. If no, then also yes but slightly less common.

  57. CommanderDark126 Avatar

    Normal is relevant. Its definitely a gross age gap. Flirt with and date people in your around your age.

  58. VeryStickySubstance Avatar

    wtf is late 20’s early 30’s? either you are late 20’s or early 30’s?? And yes, it’s totally fine

  59. ParamedicGloomy7063 Avatar

    As a 40+ ….. yeah it’s normal for me. In fact my kept boy is about 4 years younger

  60. MrPresident2020 Avatar

    When I was 30 I was dating a 40 year old woman and she could smash like she was a competitive esports player.

    its normal no matter what the age on either side is.

    Why not? Let adults live.

    We should stop infantilizing people. We’re very resourceful. I believe in you.

  64. Carlpanzram1916 Avatar

    If pornhub is any indication of what people fantasize about, yes. Sleeping with an attractive, sophisticated older woman is almost as desirable as sleeping with your stepdaughter.

  70. Ashamed_Ad8140 Avatar

    Bro, y’all are both grown ass men and women. If your over 18 and its completely both your choices, you could fuck a 70 year old for all I care. Life’s too short to give a crap about what others think about your love. So long as it’s legal and there are two consenting adults involves, hell, it can be more, I see no problem.

    Is it normal for men ………. to ……………..? Yes. Yes it is.

  72. Due-Season6425 Avatar

    Reverse the sexes, and most people don’t think twice about the flirting. There are attractive women of all ages who are flirt-worthy from younger guys. It just saddens me that lots of middle-aged and mature women have been convinced by our culture that their best years are behind them. As a man, it honestly infuriates me. I can only imagine how it makes women feel.

    Seems like younger men pursuing older women is more and more common these days. We’re practical and know what we’re doing in all of the ways. Some of these spring chickens are more trouble to deal with than they’re worth.

  77. mguy666 Avatar

    I mean I’m 22 and I’ll flirt with women in their late 20’s all the way up to mid 50’s. A hot chick is hot and milfs have less drama

  80. YakWhich5052 Avatar

    Depends what they’re after, I guess. I’m 35F. The last significantly-younger-than-me guy who I was talking to, I agreed to go out with. Then he suddenly hit me with, “Can you come pick me up for our date? I don’t have my license. And if we end up in a relationship, can you help me pay my fine from my DUI, so I’ll be able to pick you up later?” Block.

    At 35, I do suddenly find myself attracted to younger guys. It’s so different for me, because I’ve always been attracted to older guys. But I’ve reached a point where I’m getting tired of men in their 50s having lower sex drives and not being willing/able to do round 2. So that makes me consider going for a younger FWB instead of an older FWB. But I don’t want to be a sugar mama haha.

    As they used to say in my younger days when I worked off shore “Any hole’s a goal”.A crude but fairly accurate description of most guys screening process.

    I just found out I’m spending a week at the same random training class as this cougar regional director I work with somewhat frequently. I’m not saying I’m gonna try for anything, but I’m a natural flirt and she’s a saucy old lady; if she does a chardonnay and a cock grab on me, I’m not gonna fight it.

  87. TotalTarp Avatar

    I’m in my early 30s. I get hit on now way more than when I was in college/my 20s, but it’s pretty evenly split between guys in their 20s and 40s plus. Alas, I’m invisible to my own age group, though.

  88. RobLuvsCurvs Avatar

    I dated a woman in her 40’s when I was in my late 20’s. She was amazing…so yes I did flirt with older women. They are beautiful and smart for the most part.
