ketostix Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I've been going out meeeting girls a lot. The thing is I like girls around the age of 21 with no kids. I'm 29 although I think I look mid 20's. I find them prettier and more vibrant and not as much baggage usually. But I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm just too old to meet a girl who isn't older, been divorced has kids etc. Another problem is I never meet any single girls in their late 20's. I'm not saying the girl has to be a virgin, but I don't want any divorcees or women with kids. Does anyone think that a guy my age can date girls 18-21? What things should I consider?
reliance Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I dont think the age difference matters. It's the person. Younger people may also be not as willing to settle down etc. It all depends on their needs and your own.
compassion42 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Until you are in a place in your life where your desires change from things like women who are" pretty and baggage free" to things like the type of person they are,values they possess,level of maturity etc. then I say that you should continue to date the young girls. They do say that age is nothing but a number, but I think that a woman in her late teens to early 20's is in a very different stage of life than a woman in her late 20's.Ultimately though, you should do what makes you happy!
Starla Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 i wonder why you are limiting yourself like this? you might miss out on the most vibrant, beautiful, exciting thirtysomething!! you find attractive who you find attractive...but i think you are making a mistake 'boxing' people like this, like only wearing white shirts or only having steak when you go to a restaurant!!! the people we form relationships with can be so varied - that's part of what makes life wonderful.
carhill Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Does anyone think that a guy my age can date girls 18-21? What things should I consider? Yes, and, most importantly, consider compatibility. Lastly, don't apologize for your preference in women, even if it might appear shallow to others. I believed all women were equal (potentially) and trust me when a tell you an "average looking" divorced woman with kids can beat a guy up emotionally just as handily as a supermodel. Focus on the important criteria for you. In my generation and locale, prior to 30, I met many contemporaries (age-wise) who were childless and unmarried. No such luck for you?
witabix Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Someone told me once that to find your minimum age partner you divide your age by 2 and add 7. So 29/2 = 14.5 + 7 = 21.5. So from 20 years upwards? I dunno really but it seems to be reasonable, if you buy into the whole math idea. With this rule in mind lets chart it out Man -> Woman 20 -> 17 30 -> 22 40 -> 27 50 -> 32 60 -> 37 70 -> 42 80 -> 47 90-> 52 100 -> 57
witabix Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Sir, you give me hope! Its all in the numbers man!

How in the hell did that happen?

Okay so up until 6 months ago I was in the same boat as you. I'm 27 female, no children and never married. I found myself dating younger guys 22-25...and let me tell you I hated it...ALL they wanted was errmmm...SEX, and I wasn't giving in. I stopped dating because I was sick of the games the young ones play. They are in a different stage of there life then I am. It's hard to find guys older then I am that have no children (that was my main issue, i have dated guys with children, I just wanted someone without...I want my own family not a shared family...im not saying that you cant be perfectly happy with someone who has a past with someone else, its just something I didn't want, I can't compete with a babies momma...I give in... always putting myself second to them and the children)... anyways back to my story...I found a man without children (he was married once 10 yeas ago for 9 years) and he is 12 years older . its been so nice we are on the same page, and best of all NO GAMES, and he is even more handsome then the 22 year olds
