Your question is a good one. Why [i]do[/i] some people attract younger men? One reason you may be attracting younger men is that you’re surrounding yourself with younger men. If you work with younger men, that’s who you’re with during the day. If you go to places where younger men are going to be, then you’re probably going to get hit on by younger men. Consciously change your “traffic pattern” so that you begin to go to places that has a 40 and over crowd. More expensive restaurants will usually attract more established men. Theatre, opera, and Broadway shows, if you’re near New York, will also usually have a higher ratio of older men than younger men. Better men’s clothing stores will attract older men than those you’ll find at Urban Outfitters or The Gap. Then, of course, there’s always the simple way to do things: ask your friends to introduce you to older men or to set you up on dates with older men they may know. Ask and you shall receive.
The other reason you may be attracting younger men is that you’re more attracted to them and subconsciously you’re flirting with them, so they become interested. If you don’t give men the signal that you’re interested, you’re less likely to have them approach you. See if you can be more conscious when you’re out and about to give the signal that you’re interested to older men, and turn it off when you’re around younger men. I bet that’ll do the trick.
