You are 22. If the girl is 23, almost 24 that's what..1 or 2 years difference? it would maybe be noticeable if you were both teenagers, but at this stage it's all the same. I would understand if it was AT LEAST 7 years difference, cause the girl would be in a different stage in her life, but a 22 and a 24 year old they are the same. of course it's just a number in some cases. the last girlfriend you had she was older, but way more immature in more ways than one, and you seemed to be the grown up, so I don't see how her being older had an impact. you could find very immature older girls and very stable young girl who've got their sh*t together. don't choose the age choose who you think is compatible.
I understand, thank you for your kind words and compliments, I wholeheartedly appreciate them.
The point was trying to make is that since I'm already quite short, I'm already "disadvantaged" so I should get with younger girls and not older ones for some reason.
what? that's a new one. what does age have to do with height? do you think women still grow once they are adults and the young ones are shorter? :D :D if anything younger girls are more vain and still into looks, so they fantasise about the tall guy who might not have anything else to offer. older girls have been around and learned to appreciate a man who has something more to offer than his looks, they care how he treats them and makes them feel. height is more mens insecurity, women might prefer a taller man but it's hardly ever a deal breaker. older or younger girls height issue remains same way like DD bra size is for men.
I agree with you both on all those points.
In his opinion I just attract "problematic" women this way.
I just laughed it off and told him to mind his own yard, since he's not really tall too and he too had less than happy relationships. I think he was trying to be helpful, even if he was a bit misguided.
I think with the last relationship you had you will be very careful about starting a next one seriously. Tall or short, older or younger you need to check if she is a nice and stable person first haha. Noone is perfect but height or age does not determine if someone is problematic.
Not true, your friend is wrong
There is absolutely nothing wrong with dating older women. There are plenty of guys that prefer older women. But is does seem to be a common thing that whoever is the older person in the relationship tends to want to "take care" of the other. If you have a lot of problems with the girl telling you what you should be doing and her not listening to your advice, then maybe a younger girl would be a better fit for you. Is this always the case? Of course not.
Date whoever makes you feel manly and in charge
That's what men need
Younger girls typically make it easier for the man to lead.
Although mature/older women are really awesome, if they dont try to mother you, or make every decision, they make excellent partners

No! You cannot help when you were born and what if you were the older one? How would YOU feel if you got rejected based on something superficial and that you cannot control! Also, I think as long as it's not a big age gap it should be fine. The bigger the age gap, the harder it is to find things in common! Even sex wise!
I would say no. Some people are more mature for their age though. (: It can go either / or, they can be younger & act more mature then the average for their age orrr they can be older than you & still act like they're in their teens, it just depends on the person (: i for one atm haven't gone above 2 years older than my age 😅😊
I have been with someone older than me and also younger and I personally don't care.
In the end it comes down to what you want from life.
As a guy who want to have children your options are limited at some age.
Well you now could say you should have thought about this when you where younger. But this might not be an option for every one unfortunately. But I would say date who you feel you belong with who cares about age.
Always is kind of arbitrary. For marriage statistically it would make more sense for woman to couple with younger men because men tend to die younger so it would give a couple more time together at the end of their lives if their marriage lasts.
No. Age within the legal age of course is just a number. My boyfriend is one year younger and you don't really notice it. Important is that you on the same page recarding marriage and kids. Older women usually have the goal to marry and want own kids. If you are not ready for that don't borther to get in a relationship with them. Not all a like that. Find someone with the same goal in life.
Personally, I feel as long as long as each party is of the legal age of consent, it should be left up to that couple's opinions. It's not my place, nor my business to attempt to controll what other people do with their personal lives.
Yes. It's the natural order of things. Women have a biological clock. They need to have kids young and start a career later in life. Men on the other hand have no such restriction and can have kids whenever, so older man will have established himself somewhat while his wife takes care of the kids until they older enough where she can go to university and have a career. Women are also happier with fewer sexual partners whereas men need to plow a few fields before they commit.
I understand, but I'd honestly like to avoid all the sex thing and don't really see any purpose in having a child unless for inheritance reasons.
It’s more about maturity level than anything else. She could be 20 and more mature than most people. She could be 35 and still act like she is in high school.
I know people who are married, where they guy is younger than the girl. The relationships work fine. However, there are not a lot of years between them.
Date someone that has similar morals, interests, and compatible long term life goals. That is what really matters.
I always thought it eould make sense for them to be a little older because men dont live as long, so if you make it all the way to the end its more likely you'll die at the same time. Instead of leaving the other to live a few years alone.
I think girls age 30-40 are the most mature , now some ones age 18-21
are mature but they are far and in between , the same goes for guys the
same exact age.
Not really, I generally prefer older women because I thought they would be more mature, but a couple of younger women had definitely proven me wrong.
As long as you are on the same timeline it is perfectly fine. Trouble starts when the girl wants marriage in 5 years and the guy wants marriage in 10.
No you go with who you like and who you can see a future with it doesn’t matter about age. I’m going out with a 14 yr old girl and she is so more mature than girls my own age. I know that sounds wrong but come on no one can help who they fall in love with. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but age nine times out of ten doesn’t effect anything so no it doesn’t matter if u like them and they are younger go for it just be careful and if you like them and they are older go for it as well as long as you are happy that’s what counts
Guys need to be 5 to 10 years older, that's where you see long term relationship work. Girls are also active early 20s and and guys late 20s... generally. So if they meet with that small gap, they will also enjoy your each other more.
However big differences are also not good, considering the emotional needs may not be aligned
I don't know; anyway girl get's more mature sooner than boy; so, i think it's good girl dating older man than herself;
from my personal view, I prefer younger girl than me ; but people say one can fall in love with anyone so its all depend on how thing turn out in one's life and what they will find and get.
There is a good logical argument for men to do just that.
Men's peak sexual market value SMV is tied to social economic status. Most men don't achieve high status until their late 30's and 40's. This is when they are the most attractive to highly desired women and can get the highest value mate.
Women's SMV is based on beauty and fertility. This is in her 20's.
So it makes logical sense for an older high SMV value guy to pursue younger high value SMV women.
Just find someone you want to be with.
My brother is younger than his girlfriend.
My mom is younger than my father.
And my grandmother is about 10 years or so younger than my grandfather.
Hmm nah i don't think it's that of an issue if it's that of a small gap. I am dating a 21 yo girl too.
What about all our favorite milfs out there? Don't leave them out to die alone.
You can't help who you fall in love with. She can be older or younger but within a reasonable age. That number differes from person to person.
in my opinion it doesn't matter what age they are I've dated people younger and older and much older and none worked out so far i hope this one does
It's been 28 years, since I have dated a woman older than me. Older women tend to have more baggage and emotional damage.
It depends on how people get along. Nothing to do with age. I know people have 20 year age gaps and get along great and you’re talking about a 2 year age gap? Oh sweetie... lol
age is not big deal. so many guys are dating with older women instead younger women than them in these days.. and nothing to be shocked. 🤷
I don’t date old guys. I’ve rejected them outright.
No; I like old women and young women. Old women have this beauty in them that a young women sometimes lacks, and young women may have qualities that an old women may not have. (Not just body I mean personality too)
I would say no, because not every guy wants that and compatibility is ultimately the most important issue.
Wasn’t it like 2 weeks ago you were all like. I’m never gonna date women again. Wtf you crazy
I'm taking things slow and with the agreement she will wait some months for some things
For example - no sex, no kisses, no inappropriate touching for a while, etc.
She was the one who started it and people and friends told me I would have done wrong in turning her down, so I have to at least try it.
It's not that I see it as a punishment, it's just that I'm not sure it's appropriate and have my honest doubts.
I like her so I can't outright say "no", but things will take time if she's willing to let me recover from my problems. Otherwise, she's free to walk away.
@cavmanier What do you mean?
I think that the no sex and no kiss rules would actually make the relationship more transparent and show if she's trustworthy or just wants to hurt me.
Go into a relationship when you are mentally ready. If she isn't available then, there's plenty of options. I suspect you will probably not even like that girl once your brain is past the grief and lonely feeling. I mean you may like her in some ways but I doubt she's going to be the one you really want.
@cavmanier To be honest I just wanted to be on my own, but since two weeks ago she started crying when I told her to leave me alone and mind her business, I decided I couldn't be that harsh on her.
She's making me smoke less and eat healthier after all, and even if she's dragging me to them the activities she proposes are enjoyable after all. As long as we keep the appropriate distances, I think it can go well.
@cavmanier She didn't want to date me during my relationship. We have been friends for years and she never really liked my girlfriend, but we always got along well. She started to get closer again now, and I appreciate she's trying to help me out.
@cavmanier Believe what?
I don't really care about what she wants to do - if she wants to help me, good. If she doesn't or wants to harm me, I'll cut her out my life and be on my own. That's why I'm taking very small steps and keeping caution.
@cavmanier Maybe I'm being a bit of a bastard, but that's her own problem. I'm dealing with a break up, stress at work and health problems, it's enough as it is. I can't worry for that too.
@cavmanier She helped me fixing my computer, keeping my documents and paperwork in order, clean up my new apartment and dealing with some health issues.
@cavmanier What does boinking mean?
Anyhow she's the one who always gets too close.
@cavmanier I don't want any sex and I made it clear to her.
I like older guys, so I'd say they should. But everyone's preference is different.
Girls want older men, because they think they're more mature
I'm 30, and I still live with my parents, so, it's not true
No, i dated when I was 24 a women that was 33, she learned me a lot if you know what I mean , we broke up because she wanted kids and I that age I didn't...
My opinion is that u need a woman not girl who doesn't know what she wants or a bad girl that plays with oth peoples emotions.. which are 85% of girld 15-28.. I think its better if she's older.. a bit
YES im all for that , im attracted to younger women ……..
if they are 18 and truly love then age is just a nimber
I don’t care if they date younger girls or not because it has nothing to do with me 🤷🏽♀️
No my last ex is 24 and I don't mind dating a woman younger or older than me
Date whoever you want regardless of age
Yes , younger girls also like old guys compared to younger men
Of course, as long as the girl is shorter than the guy then it'll be fine.
Okay, try telling that to someone who stands 5 feet tall!
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM this is a very epic question...
oh no, my mind was CONFUZZLED BY YOUR QUESTION!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY MIND?
Yes we like older men.
Yes. The girl should always be younger. It's the normal way.
Guys should date who they want to date.
I would say, generally, yes.
I think they should date who they like.
i like older girls much younger girls are immature
I haven't dated anyone younger than me
Date younger AND older
I think, age not problem, but personality...
No older women rock, especially in bed
But when it comes to younger girls I take the half Ur age plus seven as my lower limit
younger girls get wet early so yes if u want yummy sexual experience with that soft wet warm hole of hers and tender tits.
Okay but the issue is that I don't want "yummy sexual experiences"
well for rough and troublesome experience, older women are best.
Lmao
No, not always
No that's dumb
I doesn't matter
I usually do but just way it has been working out.
No, not necessary...
I'm 62 my ladies 60 , woohoo😁
Absolutely.
