I dated older women all my life. In fact, when I was 29 I married my wife who was 46. (divorced now)

You gotta be careful because you can get a genuinely good woman, but sometimes you may run into the ones who want to control you and treat you like one of their children.

And beware, if you have one of those 'strong, independent' types who have run their lives ALL their lives....

They wont be so willing to give that up just because they are in a relationship.

Think I'm full of it....check out some of the women's profiles on here and look at all the hoops you gotta go through just to say 'hi'....lol

Must be this
cant be that
if you're not this

I will differ with you here young man...those of us strong, independent types are very reliable, dependable and loyal...we have held our own, made our own money and we are confident. We have also learned much about compassion, understanding and forgiveness. I would be more than willing to give up the reins to a wonderful man who appreciates my strength and knows it is for him also should he need it...
If a profile is clear as to the wants and needs than I would think that would be a good thing...At least we know what we want and aren't afraid to go get it..we don't settle, because we don't have to.

I am 21, and I find that older women to be much more exciting, lemme know if you are intrested.

well last bf was 23 iam 35

See what I mean...lol. I know I didn't generalize, in fact I clearly stated that I have only dated women older than myself. So I am really not complaining. My present fiancee is seven years older than myself and we have been together for five years.

So the man asked me about older women and I gave him advice from my own personal (see the inclusiveness there) experiences from BOTH sides of the fence.

The fact remains (when you get off your soapbox)that there ARE some women who are controlling and who have an extremely intolerable attitude when it comes to what they are looking for. Doesn't imply in the slightest ALL women.

Not to advocate settling at all...but if I found the woman of my dreams and she snored (one of my personal deal-breakers) I would be open minded enough to accept that flaw for the sake of a great relationship. And believe me, my girl snores every night in my ear, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Another fact is that there are women who would never compromise in that manner and as a result, lose out on some potential relationship that would have fulfilled all their desires.

I in no way intended for you in particular to take offense to something I meant for someone else. I try not to judge, stereotype, or profile so if you think I did, then all I can do is offer my sincerest apology.

But there is some reason you bristled up at my comments...maybe I could invite you for a cup of herbal tea and we could talk it out?

I'm not offended...I say what I want, just like you. I was simply responding to your comments. The get off your soap box was unnecessary..
I don't need a soap box to express myself..just another quality I bring to the table in a relationship..you'll always know how I feel...and I won't expect a guy to be a mind reader.
Peace young brother
