What is it with this misinterpretation of terms these days? 21-28 hardly constitutes "an age gap" nor is it really a case of "younger woman-older man" maybe it's just me but shouldn't there be some healthy 15-20 years between them so that the terms aren't as out of place?

*Waves to the interesting-and-a-tad-older-man above though and refrains from using the lovey dovey smiley instead of a devilish one that doesn't exist on LS*

Personally, I am. Here's why:

- They tend to be more mature
- Generally financially stable (not rich, just stable!)
- Have outgrown the annoying party phase
- Don't think it's cool to just buy alcohol and get drunk
- Don't dress or in general behave a particular way just to impress their friends.
- Don't spend a fortune on a car just because it's "cool" (seeing a theme here? )
- Physically, they tend to have filled out more, thereby not just being skin and bones. They actually have a little something to snuggle up to in bed.

And lets face it, there's just something about the thought of an "older & wiser" man that does it for me. However, I try not to tell IWHer that he's wiser too often or it makes him get a big head.

i agree. there is way too much emphasis on finding "types". people get it into their head that they want a certain physical "type", whether it is age, or race, or height,weight or whatever and they see the world with no peripheral vision. they shortchange themselves.

of course, you know me, i only date pillows

That's a deeper one.... not to mention that the covers need washing and ironing or else one they they rot and fall off...

But I digress, let him tell us all those and THEN we can analyse why he is attracted to that particular type.

Dude, your pillow can't watch you, can't even see you, you're on invisible. Get back on the Prozac!
