As a male at 27 years old, this is totally normal! In fact, most women feel the way you do, especially if they're driven and intelligent. Be weary, however, of judging a guy just because he IS your age, because believe it or not, there are some pretty evolved interesting young men out there. I've always been attracted to "the person"--I like women of all types--and older can be a real turn on. This is because they' know what they want, and they're more mature--sexually, emotionally, and intellectually. In another way, there is the "Freudian" notion of the "father figure," which even without conscious sexual attraction to you dad, of course, you may be attracted to those qualities that are "man," and that often is represented by the example of your dad.
I say this: watch out for men that only look for younger women--because even at 27, an 18 year old girl is half girl half woman, and many men take advantage of this innocence. Furthermore, go with your instincts--if you are really drawn to an older man, if he "does it" for you, and you think he is sincere, then go for it!

I had a large healthful courting with my dad. I in no way settled for any loser men. maximum men who i replaced into fascinated and were given alongside with were evidently 8-15 years older than me. i'm shocked at 26 how suited 30-40 year olds nevertheless are. For me, that's not an age vast difference element, that's their age- era. fortunately, on the ripe old age of 26, courting a 38 year old guy would not be as socially appeared down upon as being 21 and courting a 38 year old. Older men are purely frequently so cool! i'd decide on it. If in many years you're nevertheless attracted in common words to men atleast 10 years older- nicely, you may have themes with "wanting" someone to be older than you- yet no matter if it isn't inflicting complications... do not "fix" it :)

I don't think there is anything wrong with this necessarily... but developmentally, someone who is 10 years apart from you is at a different place in their life/self development (sometimes)... so it kind of depends i think on maturity level, compatibility, and so forth. I do know larger age spans can create difficult relationships sometimes, but then again look how many are the same age and have horrible relatinships. So... nah, not a problem... but under 18 dating someone older, that's a "no go" always!

I am 32 and date younger women. When I was younger I could not understand why girls my age would date older men, and it would drive me nuts. Now I see. I am financially stable, Own a home, have a nice car, and I don't drink till i puke anymore. Oh yea it does not hurt that I pass for 24. Just be care full, most guys just want to take advantage, there are huge differences in life experience. 19 is young, but you sound mature enough to make good decisions.

LOL....Your a guys dream come true....but I'm thinking that guys that are just 8 or 9 years older then you really dont qualify as "older men"
Now when you get into the 35 to 50 age bracket....where people gasp at the sight of you two walking hand in hand....Now thats more like it!

Nothing wrong with liking an older man. Personally, I prefer younger men...Well, to each his own.
