I have always and still get alot of attention from younger men. I am currently married to a man 9 years my junior. It was flattering to start with but after 6 years together, I have to say that I would prefer a man who actually has a clue what it means to be an adult.

What I don't get are the guys who try to tell me age doesn't matter, after I've been specific about the age range that works well for me. I get that age doesn't matter to some, but why not try to find someone more compatible who also doesn't think age matters? So, if you met someone that was fun, smart, interesting, good looking, but was outside your age range, you'd turn down a date? This is why age shouldn't matter. there are always exceptions but people still have general standards that they use to 'narrow' things down I may , for instance, meet a convict who was wonderful , fun, smart, interesting, and good looking ,,,but I still would not date them because there are too many NON convicts to choose from for me to take the potential risk I think everyone and anyone can have redeeming qualities, but that doesnt mean overlooking their built in 'risks' someone may be married and miserable yet all those other things,, but the risk that there is a PATTERN of a marital commitment not being binding to them, would cause me to avoid dating them someone may be fresh out of college and all those other things, but the risk that I would basically have to be going through all the things I have already been through a decade or more earlier, with them, is unappealing to me,,, not being a match doesnt mean anything negative, not everyone is a good match for everyone else,,, and life experiences do play in to how well people are matched and how long people have been alive, also plays into the likelihood of their having similar life experience,,,

It matters to me. I wouldn't date a girl under 20 neither would I date one that is more than two years older than I'm.

So it must matter to YOU, because you asked the question. See what I mean? I don't want someone who has their whole life to explore new things, as someone in their early twenties would want to see who else was available. I don't honestly think a guy between ages 18-29 would suddenly want to commit to me. Why would he? I also don't want someone so old that I end up dating a skeleton.

At my age I am beginning to see why mature women are seeking out the younger men, not necessarily men in their 20's. Men my age are scared to death that they may not be able to perform. That's no big deal but they don't want to face it so instead they leave and look for the next exciting conquest and once that excitement wears off, on to the next. Just my observation with older men.
