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.

 

 

oh you're perfectly fine. As long as you're in shape and you have some muscle tone, you're fine. I don't expect every woman to have DDD tits or size 40 hips

 

 

I personally prefer the thick look with the big bubble butt but I would definitely date a petite girl if I liked her

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.

 

I think how you feel is common. I just have an old man fetish. :laugh:

 

I rarely ever find men in their 20's sexually attractive.

 

I find men in their 50s attractive, but that's probably too big of an age gap.

Hehe, okay. I was wondering if I was alone in my views. :laugh:

 

I'm going to sound like a hypocrite too, BUT one of the men that I'm the most sexually attracted is also 9 years younger than me. He also finds me attractive, but it would be out of the question to date him. I actually feel embarrassed liking someone that's not even 21, but he's a well-known musician and that adds on to a more mature and refined presence.

Why is that embarassing? I was pretty handsome at 20 :p

You associate one with the others...? :eek:

When I was dating the age was never a factor to me. All I wanted was to find a female who was good looking, honest, intelligent and had a fun personality but also serious when need be.

I guess. I'd date anyone aged 18-32 (I'm 24). But I'd prefer somewhere around 21-27 I think.

I have generally found this only with older women...

 

But that's just from my very limited experience...

He's of age so you might as well give it a try. However, I wouldn't expect anything serious (based on his age and profession), so if you're set on having a serious relationship, you might want to avoid it.

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:

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Before you jump on me for that statement Ill have you know that I said men that age TEND to be more settled, I also said that if I met someone my own age who was I would be more than happy to date them. ;)

I'm just taking a guess as to why I'm so attracted to him. I like musicians with long hair in general anyway. ;) The band he's a part of (all 20 and 21 year olds) has been called mature for their age numerous times.

 

 

Iris-He has a serious girlfriend, which is why I can't dont pursue him hahahahaha...

Not jumping. Just a not-so-subtle reference back to my generalizations theory... :laugh:

 

I knew what you meant.

Based on my experience I saw the same thing. I got lucky with the Aussie (6 years younger)

It was a great answer, but note how he/she says "good looking." I haven't found enough older men to be good-looking, unless they're a celebrity. :o

I am a he.

 

Good looking to me of course. I can't say who everyone is attracted to.

I prefer younger men, although not more than 5 years younger. I have never dated anyone more than 2 years older.

 

I think for me, being 33, I was a late bloomer and don't have the relationship experience women my age have. I feel uncomfortable with older men who already have marriage and kids thing behind them (and most men over 35 do). I also hate how some men over 35 let themselves go and look like my dad.

 

Having said that, I most attracted to people who had comparable life/relationship experience to me, regardless of age.

You sound like me, girl. The 37 year old man that I went on a date with years ago also had a child and was going through a nasty divorce.That impacted my ability to relate to him. In my family's culture, it's very taboo to marry a divorced man with kids unless you're in the same situation.

Yeah, when they started talking about ex wives, divorce process and kids custody, it is so alien to me; I feel I can't relate at all.

And here we insert my "tour bus theory"...which is why I struggled with dating the older woman...

you look quite young yourself for your age. More reason why I believe why we may not be attracted to someone that doesn't represent youth.

 

My friend is 35, but looks like 21. She gets 19 year old college boys hitting on her all of the time. Her husband looks young too. He's around her age.

Most people, men and women are surprised when they hear my age. They think I am in my mid-late 20s.

Yes, and that just takes away from the "connection". You want someone on the same wave-length who is going to experience "the firsts": marriage, kids etc with you.

I'm the opposite, I've been told I look to be in my mid thirties (apparently :() but I'm 23.
