I'm no longer "young" and I have been looking through the age group of 26 - 30 yr old women. I noticed one thing though that on dating site, there are a LOT more 29 - 30 yr old single girls than say... 26 - 28. Anyway. My question is...

 

What are some things you cannot overlook when looking for more "mature" people? Besides the getting your life together and financial stability reason.

 

For example. Do women still appreciate sarcasm and hyperactive humor when looking for a man who is 30 vs 25?

 

What about the same question for the guys? What are some things you cannot overlook just because the woman you are seeking is of a certain age?

 

For me, I still tend to look for the exact same qualities when I was dating 24 yr olds vs 30 yr olds. I mean, I know what I want, but maybe as women age, they lose some of the qualities? Possible?

I cringe when people refer to 30 as "older" or more "mature." But I see what you are driving at.

 

I don't think anything changes really. If anything, as people age, they desire mates who are energetic and witty. I think physical fitness becomes more important as we age because we think about our health more. And we know we must preserve our bodies to remain youthful.

 

I heard somewhere that a person who is 60 will feel like they are 18. I totally get that. I am 42, but I still act pretty youthful by going to parties and having immature hobbies. I don't think of myself as middle aged, even though I am. Rather I feel like a regular adult, with no age attached.

 

TL;DR Age doesn't matter in dating because nobody believes that they are aging.

In my opinion this should be a natural process. I don't think you should or even can change the type of women you're into. It either clicks or it doesn't. You fall for her or you don't. In my opinion as a guy you can figure out in a fairly short time whether or not there is at least potential for chemistry between you and a woman.

 

In regards to age range, I no longer care. It's about attraction, being happy together and needing each other.
