When an older man pursues a younger woman, it’s considered normal. When an older woman pursues a younger man, she’s a bit of a novelty. But that may not be the case for much longer: in the world of online dating, at least, women over 50 pursuing younger partners is par for the course.
Of course, when both men and women are looking for younger partners, things can get a little tricky: the 65-year-old man wants to date a 55-year-old woman who’s got her eye out for a 45-year-old man… good thing we often end up dating people who don’t match up to our descriptions of what we want.

The element that this article neglects to mention is the upsurge in younger men looking for older women. The only reason I know about this is my own informal reviews of ads on Craigslist, which I suppose has a bit of everything! But more than people looking for someone to spank, what surprised me was the 18-35 year old men saying they were interested in women 30 years their senior. “If you would describe yourself as a cougar, I’m looking for you!” they proclaim.
