Is the reason i'm attracted to older men because I got raped and molested by older men?

Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

No.

You are looking for a protective daddy figure.

You should get see a psychologist who will help you through the process of accepting and letting go of whats happened to you and teach you to take care of yourself.

Answer 2

In this question you are trying to be funny aren't you? It isn't funny. If this question is factual you should seek out a therapist.

Answer 3

lol rob,

must be George Clooney.

Answer 4

Yes more than likely or you are looking for a father not a boyfriend. Have you gotten therapy. If you haven't then get therapy, lots ot if quick.

I understand where you're coming from similar experience it sucks

Answer 5

Probably. You're sub-consciously attracted to what's familiar to you.

Just be careful and don't re-victimize yourself.  Pay close attention to who you're attracted to.  You might be attracted to the wrong type of men that want to take advantage of you.

EDIT: She's not trying to be funny...This is something that a lot of rape victims experience..to be attracted to the same type of people over and over again.

The truth hurts, huh.

Answer 6

It might be, or it might be because you don't have a strong father figure, or it might be because of George Clooney

Answer 7

I doubt it.

I've known a lot of women with this fantasy, or attraction, and most of them were never raped or molested as children.

Answer 8

Speak to a professional therapist.

Answer 9

I would think that you are in need of a father-figure.

EDIT: I also think that George Clooney might have something to do with it like Robert G says! Or is it Harrison Ford? Maybe it's Kevin Costner....

Answer 10

Well, when I was about 20, I got asked out by a guy who was 30.  I thought he was horribly old, and would never have thought of him as a possible s*x partner.  The fact that you would look at someone out of your age range and see him as a possible s*x partner is most probably directly related to your abuse.  There is no natural attraction to older men, and I think that you are not the only one.  I know another person who was molested at a young age who only dates older men.  She doesn't see men her own age as sexual.  

It is certainly a form of early training for girls to see older men as s*x partners.

The opposite is not true, that all women with older men were molested, but certainly some were.
