A younger dude

I was pretty much "done" by the time I was 25...and my gf 23.

 

All of these "rules" go out the window when you meet the right person.

I don't get why everyone is making the assumption a younger man isn't going to want anything serious, it is a very flawed view. Age has so little to do with it, the only approach is to look at each person specifically and judge for yourself based off of their actions and words.

 

Being that younger person, it is incredibly frustrating for people to assume these things. I am 23 and want a long term relationship leading to marriage, and most likely kids. Yes I know it is extremely rare, but there is others that want the same at that age. Not everyone mid 20's person wants something casual. Just like not everyone whose in their 30's is going to want something serious.

 

I really think if you're judging these things strictly based on age you're going to get burned. Yes someone older has more life experience, but it doesn't make them more mature, willing to commit, stable enough to want to get married, kids, etc or anything. Nor does it necessarily make them know more what they want. On average yes it does, but everyone is different.

 

In this post you say you want a long term relationship, but you also say you want marriage and kids. A mid 30's woman might be happy to have a long term relationship with you, but that won't necessarily mean she wants marriage and kids.

 

Is there such a thing as a mid 20's man that want an LTR but also doesn't want to breed? (and doesn't mind being with a woman much older than he is.)

One of my female friends is 45, very attractive, great body, and 2 years ago dated one of my tennis buddies, good looking fun kid.

 

She was 43 then, he was 30. It worked though after a while she said she could tell he just needed to live life a little more.

 

l I say GO FOR IT!
