This came up in another thread and someone suggested starting another thread about this, so that is what I am doing.

It seems to me that the only sexual attention that women are ever flattered by is sexual attention that comes from boys in their teens and the teenish looking 20somethings. It seems that even women in their 40s and 50s are repulsed by attention from men their own age and even the mature looking 30something and 20something men, whom they for some reason don't seem to consider "younger men".

So why do women feel this way? Isn't attention from boys that young actually more creepy since sex is usually the only thing on their minds? Attention from a slightly more mature man should be considered more of a compliment, shouldn't it? Is it that these women actually find the younger boys more attractive despite preferring to date men their own age?
