I don't know how old you are but usually the older the woman gets, t5hey younger she dates, so both parties sexual prime are in sync. The fucking is tremendous. Then again if you are looking for relationship material it isn't the case. I would rather someone be intune with what I want and need, take care of me etc.. and vice versa than tending to someone who wants their mummy all the time and think they are the beesknees.

I'm 33. And I've always like guys around 23-24. But these days I only date a few years younger than me, around 28-29.

JustErin said:

Same age, nearly 34, but I dated older guys when I was younger, now younger guys have the hots for me. I don't know why. They are fun and passionate if that's what you are looking for. Luckily my boyfriend is only a couple of years younger than me and we get along in most ways. Things are kind of crap right now though. Sods law, but that's just him.

MissMe said:

I've always had younger and older guys interested in me. But what I hate about older guys is they constantly try to impress you with money and material things. Younger guys don't give a shit about doing that and would rather just be themselves and are far less concerned with trying to impress you.

I'm not really into having someone attempt to impress me. I'd rather just be impressed by who they are as a person.

I'm not saying dating younger is any better, though. They're a handful, that's for sure.

JustErin said:

You are American, right? See I get the opposite. Older guys are more comfortable with themselves, but along worth their baggage and insecurities, younger guys WANT TO impress, so show off more to an extent. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I don't know. That's just my experience.

Men are men and that's complicated enough for us women.

Well of course younger guys don't try to impress you with money and material things. They don't have any of that! Older guys use what they have at their disposal. I agree that it's totally tacky, but it's what many younger women go for, so there's a shared responsibility there.

MissMe said:

Ouch. That one had to have hurt.

MissMe said:

Canadian!

It's true. They don't!

I think I must actually prefer that.

JustErin said:

I am sorry. Canada is beautiful.

My bad.

MissMe said:

I forgive you.

JustErin said:

I want to go ski-ing there. And I know the people are wonderful too. I have friends and distant family there.

MissMe said:

Screw that.

Come in the summer, it's way nicer.

I just hate winter. HATE IT!

JustErin said:

One of these days I will go travelling. It's number one (well two) on my list.

Young or old, I don't think a guy has ever tried to impress me with money.

They must think I'm cheap.

I hate sport clothes.
I don't listen hard-rock/metal as much as I used to do.
I hate alcohol
I prefer to have female friends than male friends

CarrieMpls said:

No, you are fortunate. They must have tried to impress you with their charms, their interest in you and more. That is so much better.

MissMe said:

Ya, I think it just means that they probably didn't think you were a shallow skank just looking for money and to be taken care of.

JustErin said:

I must have fooled them then.

Lucky you.

I'm about the same but I liked Marilyn Manson a helluva lot more than I like him now.

Last night I chatted up the owner of a brewery

free beer all night long

at 40 quite a bit...

i'm less interested in adding new friends to my life as i feel content with the ones i made throughout my school years (ever since 1st grade).

BUT my circle used to be exclusive to friends whereas now i don't mind contacting/meeting colleagues every now and again.

Not very much...I've always been pretty self-defined and secure in what appeals to me.

One of the few lifestyle choices I changed in complete 180° fashion though, is to support recycling. 10 years ago when I lived in the U.S. I used to scoff at the idea of separating trash or recycling bottles and plastics and believed rather erroniously that it was some kook idea meant only for my more new-age-ier, hippy-er friends than me. Once I expatriated to Europe and was confronted head on with the practice of it here (where it's quasi-required, and one has to pay for grocery bags, or 25cent deposits on canned bottled beverages so that a 69 cent 6pack of water costs 3.69 in the end) I got with the program REAL quick . I can say happily that carrying my muslin grocery bags and keeping track of my plastics are second nature now

Other than that I like fennel or the occasional dash of tarragon in my foods more than I ever did previously
