I'am 22 and currently in search of that significant other. I'am a very busy with my job and school during the week. In my free time, I go surfing, to church, and do other things in town to keep busy. Anyway, while doing all of this, I have meet and dated many girls. The problem is that most of them were in the 18-20 year old range. It's strange, because I would think that I would run into someone who is my age or older, but I have not. Because of my past experiences, I choose to no longer date 18-20 year old girls (I call them girls because most of them dont act like WOMEN) because they tend to be very immature, spoiled, and looking for the wrong things in a guy. It seems like every girl in the college-aged group at chruch that I go to is in the 18-20 year-old range. What is a good age-range for a guy like me? I'am 22 and I like to date WOMEN, not GIRLS. Where do I need to go to meet girls who are my age or older? It seems that 21 is a good cutoff age. Am I right? Please help.

Who says she has to be younger than you? The truth of the matter is not many women 21 or younger act like women nowadays. There are many out there, but more often than not they still act like girls. Ironic though, since in the teen years they certainly seem to be growing up faster than I did, and I was (and am) very mature for my age. I was still playing with dolls at 12 for heaven's sake! A friend of my 5-years-younger brother was a mother by the time she was 14, but she certainly wasn't emotionally mature, that's for sure.
Anyways, I noticed that you said you go to church: why not just let God handle this for you? Maybe He's not ready for you to settle down yet, but when He is, I'm sure you'll know it. Good luck!! And by the way, I commend you. Most young men your age aren't exactly looking to settle down yet. It's a good thing to see, though :)

Age has no relevance here. It all depends on how mature you are. If you are seriously ready to be in a committed relationship, you need to look for the kind of woman who is at that point, too. There are two places where nice single women outnumber nice single men: church and ballroom dancing classes. Also, try a good gym. But you don't need to be dating 18 year olds generally. You need someone finished with school who is out in the working world and can relate to you. Have you tried meeting women in places like biking clubs, hiking clubs, etc.? Also professional organizations are good places to meet singles with intelligence and maturity. How about working on a political campaign? You can meet lots of mature people there, too. Or volunteer at the Salvation Army, any charitable foundation or the like. Many mature women give back to their community by doing charity work. Good luck!

21 is a good age to go with but u might actually find that there are some pretty mature 18 to 20 yr olds out there so dont go and give up on those... u never know... but im not sure about where to meet girls... me being a girl and all id say go to a concert or something along those lines. u are sure to meet someone that shares the same interests as you do and is mature enough for you. have fun looking and good luck!

I'm 55 and I would recommend the same age range I prefer: 24 to 35. No guarantee the 35 year olds will have a clue as to what they want in life either, but physically, they are still in prime years. Some physically-attractive ones are under 24 as well, but as you astutely pointed out, most are incredibly immature and shallow. I also as a long-time expat in different parts of the world recommend a non-westerner because they generally have better values, understand the importance of family more, respect others more, and are less spolied (read: they are more connected to reality).

Wanna date women - go with 21+
Girls, 18-20.
I'd say go looking for some mature 19 year old or 20 year olds that are hot.

Well I have the same problem. I'm 23 and decided to not date guys my age or younger for the same reason BUT that makes it unfair to you because there are guys out there who are my age that are mature for their years so this is my advice to you: Date. You get to know people and if they are and if they are not what you want...well it's up to you to decide. I usually prefer men 25-32 but if there is that one chance that a younger gentlemen comes along with a good head on his shoulder...I'd give him that benefit of the doubt.

I know some 18-20 years old girls who are pretty mature. But see, you must understand they are on their teens and you are only 22. Why rush? Enjoy their immature-ness and maybe yours because this ain't stay with you or them for very long unless, of course, they enjoy being immature too much.
