So, I've decided to go back to school to change my career. I'm 29

[J1nnishere]

Ill be 30 during my first semester surrounded by a lot of people in their early 20s. more likely than not, ill be getting my mack on since I feel there's a much better selection of women than women in my age(met some single moms and lots of girls have emotional issues by then from previous bad experiences)

just for my awareness sakes, my questions is this. how would a 30 year old be perceived by women in their early 20s? I presume most won't even care about that before many other factors but I just want to know if its such a considerable variable to them? also, I m cool, attractive and look 25. I've just never been here before.

You can be any age to suffer emotional distress.

Not only that women are getting children younger nowadays.

It is not uncommon to see women in their early twenties with children.

All I see is huge generalizations here on how you perceive women in their twenties to be.

(Which is single, no kids, or emotional distress).

This is untrue,

Moving on,

If you're worried about being a little older well here are some things that will comfort you.

-men are usually older than the woman by a few to several years when they enter into a relationship.

-some women love older men (so it won't be an issue).

-there are people older than you in college (so you won't seem old at all).

Age is only a problem if you allow it to be.

If you have a lot in common with someone, they will pay no focus on a number that is beyond anyones control.

youve made some great points, but, its a lot more prevalent and lasting with older women. AND the ones id acutally be attracted to are ususally taken form my experience. yes its general and there are more qualitfied ones(to my standards) as I get a bit younger. also, when older women a certain way, theyre more likely to be stuck...

a lot of women like older men but to be honest it's much more attractive when the older man is ahead of them in life. so, if you are still in school with them studying the same thing you lose some of the older man allure.

[J1nnishere]

well I m a home owner(condo will be done building in 2015) not that I would tell them and I have an infinity? lol I avoid the material girl who like older man for these things. I've seen too much nightmares...and my ex was super materialistic. I've grown to like the nerdy smart types who takes care of their bodies.

it's not about what you own it's about just being done and out of school and in the "real world" whether you own a home or not. it's just exciting.

[J1nnishere]

oh I see, I know, school life again. sigh. but, I figured it can be better for the relationship since were in the same place in life? I mean this is the reason I wouldn't date a women my age if I were in school cause we have such different lifestyles...

[Opinion Owner]

to many girls yes. it will help you attract younger girls because you are more of an equal, but you will not have the same "older man appeal" doesn't mean you won't attract them anyway though, it's just a different type of appeal.

[J1nnishere]

yah, seems like it all depends on the person. as long as she doesn't have a supermodel attitude with crazy sense of entitlement I m OK. if she can't take me there intellectually and emotionally its not gonna work anyways.=)

[Prof_Don]

I wouldn't get self conscious about that bro... in my opinion the main thing is to make sure that u don't "act like their dad".

As long as you maintain a youthful vigor about you, you'll fare just fine.

The saying goes... you're only as old as you feel. 8-)

[drjohno]

"I m cool, attractive and look 25"

Those plus the ability to "seal the deal" is all you need, bro.

[J1nnishere]

thnx buddy.

[pr3ttybr0wn]

if your cool and good looking then you'll be fine

[J1nnishere]
