Weird interests? Older guys/men

[Pup]

I'm currently in a relationship with my boyfriend, who does not want to be my daddy. 
But I am noticing that I think that guys or men who are older than me are attractive. 

I'm currently 23, but I'm developing interests in men between 30 - 40. 

Is that weird or normal?
And how should I deal with this?
 

I don't want another relationship, I want to stay with my boyfriend. 

I am not looking for someone else. 

It's just that I fantasize about older guys/men. Even daydreaming. 

This week, I fantasized over a man that was helping me fixing my glasses. I was daydreaming about him while he was in front of me. I felt ashamed that I had thoughts about him. I guess that he was around 45 yo. 

Help! How do I handle this?

I've always had a strong desire for older men, so it's not weird to me anyway. It takes time, but you probably should stop daydreaming about them, try daydreaming about your boyfriend instead when these thoughts pop in your head. Imagine your boyfriend is older than he really is.

It's not weird, it's just one of your preferences.

You can't stop that attraction even though you want to stay with your boyfriend.

Fantasies are good but you have to decide if/when you want to make it a reality.

Hello. It's perfectly normal. It's as normal as some women loving men and others loving women.

 

It's quite normal as some women like older men as they see them as confident knowledgeable and therefore attractive.

I know you feel conflicted over your bf and your desires. I've met and helped lots of people with similar concerns. It's easily do-able

Nothing weird about how you feel. I think in this day and age, more and more younger women in their early 20's are finding older men more attractive.

Why does it matter what other people think about your interests? If you're into it then so be it. If you think its weird then maybe do something about it.

I honestly think that the best way to handle it is simple, just acknowledge that you get turned on by a thing and be okay with that. Being attracted to a man or certain type of man that doesn't fit your boyfriend won't ruin your life or your relationship. Having your fantasies isn't wrong in any way. Maybe just having fun with those thoughts by yourself will help a little if you find yourself desiring it a bit too much, but other than that there isn't really anything I think you should do except resist the urge to do something out of character if that urge arises.

 

At the end of the day, you are allowed to be attracted to people, even if you're in a relationship. It's a natural response, not a problem.

Thanks for your replies.

It helped me a lot and I feel less afraid of this interest now.

I guess fantasizing is okay if it is just in my head and I'm not doing anything with it.

 

And I'll focus on my boyfriend more. Maybe it won't be a big issue then and hopefully the interest won't grow.

 

I want to have a happy life with my bf and I won't let things like this get in the way.
