I have registered myself with a few dating sites and when I view women profiles so one phenomenon is commen and that is of older one. A girl of 25, for example, have written the age of her would-be husband more than that of hers 28 or 30 or perhaps more. The question is that why she does not want a man of corresponding age or less. A man of 25 or 24 will might not be acceptable to her.

I don't understand those ladies either. More precisely, I'm not like that. But that depends on what is she looking for. If she's looking for someone she can look up to, who's well-adjusted financially and so on, it is kind of logical to look for an older guy. If she'd pretty independent, doesn't want a guy for his money but truly values good company then it would likely to be a guy of her age.

There could be a few reasons...
1) She is more comfortable with older men because she is an only child and was comfortable around her parents friends.
2) She has found the men her age and younger to be too immature for her.
3) She feels that an older man can provide for her better as they probably have a better paying job than that typical of men her age because they have been in the work force longer.
Actually at age 25, a five year difference is not that much.

Because girls mature faster than boys....by the time a women is 25, she may be ready to settle down, marry and start a family. The biological clock is ticking. If she meets someone at 25, they date for a year or so, are engaged for a year, married without children for a year, the the pregnancy, she's looking at being 29 or even 30 before starting a family. Then there's usually a couple years between kids.
Most men in their early twenties are still playing the field and have little to no interest in a solid relationship. A man in this late twenties, early thirties, may be ready to think about his future and family.
Not saying it's right,,,,it's just the way things are

It's because she wants what she wants and I'm sure she has good reason. I'm 25, and I don't prefer guys my own age cause I feel like I am much more mature and can deal with someone older on a complimentary level. My boyfriend of 2 years now is 31 and the guy I was dating before him was 35. Plus I think guys my age find me intimidating and guys older look at me as a challenge.

Have no idea, but I like it....
There is a myth out there that older guys are more mature and have a bit more a direction in life. (I know this isn't always the case.) I know they write that they want an older guy...but it's not say they wouldn't entertain the idea of dating someone their age. If your really interested with someone on there but slightly out of their age preference, dont let that stop you...
Another reason might be b/c since they hang out with people their age they ONLY meet people their age. SO the people who are trying to find people out of their age bracket might tend to go on-line...
/just a thought.

Women tend to be more mature then men for one thing. So a women who is 25 will be of the same mental maturity has a man who is 28.

that would depend on her preference.. fyi, if a guy is 25 years old, his way of thinking is less than 3 years of his age. so he is still 22. and plus it takes so long for a guy to mature.. they may act one but will always show the child-like in them.. but for gurls, if her age is 25, her way of thinking is plus 3 years, so she is 28.. she thinks other things.. and more mature than men
doncha notice that women physically look older than men.. if theay are of the same age..
she would prefer older than her.. it dpends on her wavelength, like how they jive.. Ã

Women mature faster, and these, or at least they seem to be looking for the "right one", don't want to mess with little boys any more. Their also looking for stability, and one can usually find that in a older man.
