Personally I think it depends on the person and maturity level. I have always dated younger men but I feel it is due to my personality and I like being quite active. I have ended some bad dates because the younger men were superficial and only wanted a quick lay w/ an older woman "Mrs Robinson complex".
If a younger man is independent, driven, intelligent then yeah why not. No I don't consider any arm candy either. I like to have someone w/ a sense of humor but can be serious when needed.
