Yeah, that^ :love:

 

That shape. The body looks less girlish and more womanly.

 

That happens at 30? My body didn't get the memo. :laugh:

Lol, that is quite rare indeed.

Prefer comparable looks and maturity regardless of age. Or better in both cases. :)

 

I'm glad you mentioned this, because people tell me I look and sound younger than my age. I do believe we seek out those that are similar to us, so maybe that's why I'm more attracted to those that appear youthful.

 

this is what I would expect from a woman dating a significantly older man, so I too wonder what the hell they're thinking...

 

Looking for a father figure? Thinking that older men are more mature? Just having a preference? It does feel weird to me when you're the one being carded and your date isn't at a restaurant. ;)

that happens at 30 if you squat and deadlift with heavy weight 3 times a week + good diet

Sure it does, I know a lot of girls in their late 20s up to early 30s who look great :love:. Obviously gotta be maintained, but still....

If a guy approached you who was your age and was very attractive and seemed pretty settled, would you still turn him down?

 

 

Of course, age isn't a deal breaker. I am just stating based on my own dating experiences, I have yet to meet a 22 year old who was at the same point in there life as I am, and would be willing to think about a serious relationship at children at a younger age.

I generally find older men more interesting, more chivalrous, more stable, and more appreciative of my company.

 

I am also more attracted to older men physically. I love hair that's going gray and wrinkles around the eyes. :love:

Surprisingly that's true. Looking older/younger than your age has a large impact also. I behave and look older than my age, so a lot of my friends tend to be older than me...and then that slides over to the dating aspect where I wind up with women who like older men. Or older women. Or women my age who look older. So damn weird.

It is pretty common knowledge that women typically mature at a younger age than men. Not ALL, same as the fact that not ALL older men are mature.

 

What do you define as "mature"...?

Posted
What do you consider significant?

 

Eh, I don't know...I guess for me personally, anything over a decade makes me squirm and :sick: a little in my mouth... :laugh:

 

For me, my dating range is based on lifestyle. Too many men my age are just into partying and haven't really honed in on what they want to do with their lives. I prefer someone more settled.

 

Ah, generalizations are made...where you equate age with settledness...?

I know lots of women who look great well past their 30's. Some women gain weight as they get older, but most don't magically get thick.

 

I'm very thin and toned, so that sort of thickness isn't happening for me.

That's perfectly reasonable generalization. Most of my friends in their early 20s are definitely not settled and still want to party and have fun

Well she has a certain kind of genetics. You don't have to have a huge butt like that to look good - petite women can be beautiful as well if they take good care of themselves

And it's just as possible for an older gentleman to not be settled.

But you've dated a much older woman. Do you mean you're only uncomfortable when women date older? :confused:

Yeah, I hear you, but I bet that you still have quite a sturdy look.

 

The squats/deadlifts will definitely help get that thickness, as well as some hard food ;)

The average 30 year old will be far more settled than the average 23 year old

 

 

7 years from now, I will likely have a steady career and ready to get married/have kids. I'm nowhere near that right now

 

 

Her mindset is correct for what she wants

Yes I have...significantly older...but yes, I will admit this is rather hypocritical of me.

Age doesn't bother me that much. 18 to my age group 23-ish is good and all. I actually am attracted to some older women (I think that stems from a crush I had on a friend's mom :laugh:) so that's fine too. So long as I connect with the lady on a few levels; all is well.

Women of all shapes are desired. But any guy guy who doesn't fit the GQ model mold is worthless.

You mentioned "sturdy" in the horoscope thread and I thought maybe you meant mentally. :laugh: I look lithe and delicate, but I'm actually very fit.

 

Oh, I'm no stranger to squats.

I will casually date any age that's legal and attractive but if I'm looking to get into an LTR I date 20-26 or so.

How is it any different with men?

 

 

 

Skinny, buff and more thick (as in beefy but not ripped) guys can be attractive as long as they take care of themselves and have nice personalities

 

 

 

How is it any different with women? Skinny/Curvy/Thick can all be attractive depending on the man

lol, the wrinkes on the forehead and the grey hair is one of the reasons I'm not attracted to older men. I know I may end up looking like that one day though.

 

I agree that older men tend to be more chivalrous, because they were raised in that generation where traditional courting rituals took place.
