Attracted to Older Women?
Posted: 05-08-06 21:41pm

For as long as I can remember I have always - can't think of the right word - admired? Older women. Since primary school I guess. Women on tv, teachers... I always thought I was weird as other girls my age seemed to be interested in only boy bands which bored me.
Anyway I dated guys in my teens and the thought of dating girls never entered my head. As i've gotten older I realise i'm not attracted to men but question whether I am attracted to women. As it seems unless they're a good say 10 years older there's no appeal. Am I looking for a mother figure? I don't know. Is it just admiration and wanting to be like these women rather than being attracted?
Any advice? :oops:

Hey,
you sound exatly like me, I havent had many boyfriends and I have always amired older women and never really thought about them sexually untill I realised I could be gay or bi.
I now think it is just about two people who love each other no matter what the sex you both are.
Someone told me that your feelings and body will tell you, meaning that butterflys in your tummy when you see that person,your whole being lighting up when ypou are with them.
Regarding the mother thing that could be a issue, I did have issues with mine which I have and am looking at.

All the best love:0)

that of the butterflies in your tummy is overrated. When I was younger I thought that was it but after being ditched after ditched with guys I felt butterflies for I learned that true love was not defined by butterflies but in their capabalities of commitment, understanding and sacrifice. Now that's how I fall in love.

But going to the topic a coworker of mine is married to a woman 10 years older than him. They are doing okay. I was told they did had problems (of sexual nature)at some point for her older age. She doesn't want that he looks young because the people at work make fun of them. In spite all they have had a succesful marriage I believe it is because he is a very good man like few out there that loves her and sacrifices for her no matter what.
