well first I dont thin there is any correlation between young girls liking older man and pregnancy. Accidents can always happen wether they are dating older or younger men. This is not really the issue.

I personaly am attracted to older men because I feel that I can talk to them and communicate with them with more clartity and understanding ( but this doesnt apply to the majority )..while other girls might prefer older man because older people know how to manipulate young girls..seduce them because they know their weak points. However that is bad.

So you see we cannot really generalise. It all depends on the case.

Prob because virtually without exception, 'older' men are sexier, more complete in every way, more mature. Guys under 20 just haven't become real MEN yet. Though I whole-heartedly agree that girls 13-15 should stick to guys absolutely no older than 16-18 max!!

Because older men are mature and more stable.

I'm 19 and I've always fallen for older men. Not only I'm emotionally attracted to them, but I'm also sexually attracted to older men.

Sometimes they think an older guy will be more mature which is not always the case. Some have the whole needing a father figure thing. Some because older guys will have a job, care, security etc... there's a number of reasons.

Gabrielle Stoker agony auntAt the age of 13-15 it's a combination of

1. An Electra complex

2. The fact that boys from 13-19 are rarely attractive.

As a girl gets older it's probably a desire for security and stability (apart from (1) above) that the older, often wealthier man seems better equipped to provide.

Point worth remembering is that not ALL girls go through this phase.

A female reader, Princess Aunty Mauritius +, writes (24 November 2010):

because men that are say ten or twelve year older than them seems to be more mature than an 18 year old boy. they respect someone more than a young boy would and most important of all they know how to maintain a relation.

they understand the importance of relation and value the word ''love'' whereas a young boy would take it as a past time.

when a girl is in a relation with someone older than her to quite some extent the relation is more likely to survive longer. also it is said that boy matures a bit late as compared to girls so this might also be a reason of it as any girl would not want to date an immature boy.

But some men usually take advantage of it. yeah they use the youngs for their pleasure. yeah indeed some girls become pregnant very early in their age because they are totally unaware of the real world yet. it was just an act of theirs whereby they wanted pleasures without considering the consequences..

hope this helped

One word: Maturity. Even tho those girls are immature, maybe its the guidance they like. Often times women who seek much older men tend to not have had a father figure...otherwise, why the hell would they be getting pregnant so young? Dont worry man about this...those women can be lost causes.

hi rubixcube777,

girls of the age (13-15) vary a lot, but one very big influence can be the culture in which they live.

The smarter girls in that age group, and i am not talking IQ, i am talking EQ (emotional intelligence) recognise that getting involved with a male of any age can wait. But their hormones are stirring and they are leaving childhood, and entering a new phase, but they are not yet women.

They are at a very vulnerable time in their lives. And sadly they are easy prey, for unprincipled men who want to talk them into misguided relationships, with males who are too exploititive for them to handle.

And its all very exciting and these very young girls think they have 'arrived' and are special because an older guy is paying them attention.

I feel so sad for these misguided girls, being used, abused, and dropped by older men who can correctly be called pedophiles when they have sex with a underage girl.

It is sad that society cannot better protect very vulnerable impressionable girls, influenced by the culture around them. Some of these girls think to be accepted that they have to emulate what they thinK is the norm in their community.

And in some cultures they see sex selling products, they see inappropriate sexual connotations presented as a 'joke' on TV in programs. They see sexually provocative clothing or messages on a Tshirt where the message is inappropriate on girls clothing. Or worse on little baby girls, which i find sick to see a baby girl dressed up in such clothing.

I find it ugly when adult movies are left around the home, and available for the very young to watch in their room on a borrowed dvd. It gives a twisted view of real life.

Just meeting a boy does not mean that sexual relations must be instigated asap to prove they love each other.

it is exceptionally hard to change culture. It would take a huge groundswell of people saying enough is enough. And some well funded good school programs to show just how illogical it is to applaud underage sex. As if the latter proves the girl is attractive.

No it does not.

It just show the girl has been ill advised and poorly protected, and that a male has taken advantage of her naive state.

I am disgusted that some teachers in USA schools think it is cute that a 13 year old has a boy friend. And cute that the couple are caught necking at school.

And it is downright dangerous that any parent would condone her/his 13 year old to be dating an 18 year old or older.

It suggests a need for a serious rethink of sex education in USA.

I am not suggesting a puritan 'say no no no'. But what i would like is more programs that better inform teenagers and younger, and demonstrate by real exercises, how demanding young and older men can be, by cajoling, by lies, humiliation, by blackmail, and just plain date rape, to get the girl willing to have sex. It can lead to sexually transmitted diseases.

And lead to teenage pregnancy.

Something is wrong in our society when baby mums are only just a little more than a decade older than the child they conceive.

And i would love girls to stop fantasy idealistic outlooks that make them think they are all grown up because they are pregnant.
