Meow!

I usually attract younger guys, but I think a part of it is I look young too. I haven't really been around too many older men, but also haven't really noticed a difference in maturity level based on age alone.

I never have. Even if I was single now, I don't think I would. Not for any reason other than I tend to be attracted to slightly older guys.

A friend of mine (who is 40) has always been into younger guys. She's currently seeing someone who is 23. She loves it!

I am the same as you... I am currently seeing a guy that's 10 years my senior. I love his personality, even if he is a bit bossy.

Whoa! That is WAY too young for me. Interesting that she loves it though.

I think for her it's the sex more than anything else. And knowing she can still pull them at her age - she says it makes her feel like she's 'still got it'.

I don't think I have ever dated anyone younger than me (except by a few days)

And as Erin said, we are emotional nightmares, but animals come sacktime!

The only thing I know about +35 years old woman is that they usually use the words "never" or "always"...

I mean, a 25 years old chick would say "you didn't support me the other day, and I needed you"...OK, my bad, but a +35 chic would say "you NEVER support me" or "you're ALWAYS late"...if that's not bullshit, I don't know what is...

Yeah, I am not looking for an ego trip or any kind of mentoring role either. I want a mature serious relationship with someone intellectually and spiritually compatible.

Then don't bother with a youngin' because the odds are against you when it comes to anything long term. When both are 30+, sure...but early 20s....no.

Really?

I've known a lot of "I don't wanna argue-I don't give a fuck" 20-29 years old girls, but all the +35 years old women I've known/seen (big sisters, mommy, mommy's friends, etc.) seem to enjoy a long, nasty argument and are just bitter about issues as stupid as punctuality...

Perhaps it is a case of "birds of a feather...".

Hayell Naw!

Don't have anything against younger guys, it's just I find myself attracted or attracting guys older than I. I prefer guys 25 and up but I end up drooling over the ones 35 and up.

if that 25 year old spent the last 10 years with you, then yes, she is probably justified when she says it

Well from the men that I've talked to, they say that older women know what they want and are less likely to play mind games with them. They said that women their age or younger play just as many games as men do and for the men who don't play games, find that to be a turn off. Apparently, some men feel that it's hard to find a good woman out here just as women say that it's hard to find a good man.

This here.

I think I need to go up a little higher in age next time. Maybe 32ish.

10 years? My "longest" relationship lasted like 10 weeks...

I am NOT dating anyoe in their 20's and that's final!! That is not what I meant when I started this thread!

Use the 20-something year olds just to fling with.

Because I was HOT!

But yeah, the differences were too much.

(He learned a lot, tho! )

Same here, sista!

chocolate1 said:

When I was 40, I dated someone who was 22.

I didn't realize HOW young he was at first (I thought he was at least 30).

The difference was just too much. He was born the year I graduated high school.

I was only 6 years younger than his mom, and we couldn't relate culturally- music, pop references, etc.

And in other areas... it was fun for a while, but...

I'd date someone slightly younger now, but I'm done playing "Cougar".

takes out laundry list....

heartbeatocean said:

What is/was your experience of it? How much younger?

It never occurred to me to date a younger man. And then out of nowhere, one seems interested and impressed.

oh dear...

Guys my age are usualy immature..... I doubt I would date a younger guy than me.

1, 2,3 years younger I don't really consider "younger" than me, but a guy 4-5 years less I consider "younger' than me. I doub lt I would not date a guy 4-5 years younger.

Most likely date an older guy.
