Older men?

Question

I am 21 and very frustrated with guys, I feel they are childish can't hold a conversation and insecure. The oldest gut I dated was 24. Should I try older men?

Answer 1

I would reccomend it if your mature for your age. Older men are interesting and don't usually play the games that guys in their 20's do. I'm 33 and I won't date anyone under 40.

Answer 2

I was 21 when I married my first husband and he was 37. Needless to say it didn't work but NOT because of the age difference. I much prefer older men for several reasons.
1) Older men are more financially secure (most of the time!)
2) Older men are more considerate and know how to treat a woman.
3) Older men are better in bed because they have learned over the years how to please a woman, and they aren't in it just to get theirs.
4) An older man will be on your maturity level.

Answer 3

Yes and no. An older man may be taking advantage of you. If you're bright and truly mature, that's great. But are you ready to settle down? Because any man who is worth his salt and mature is not going to like hearing that you're just too young to think about x,y,z...
You might need to put up with little boys, or even better, go without for a little while. Seriously, sometimes a woman is better off being herself and furthering her own life. You don't get stuck needing to be in a relationship anymore, and then you filter them out quicker, with less attachments and heartbreak.
You can see a real man coming from a mile away, but you've got to be a mile away.

Answer 4

If you meet someone whose older that you are intersted in, then go for it. But I wouldn't date someone just because they are older. Besides a lot of the issues between men and women are the same, no matter what age you are. A 40 year old can be just as young and immature as a 20 year old. I'm 27 and sometimes it seems like I am still dating 15 year olds!

Answer 5

You should choose according to what you want. Age truly has little to do with anything but personal taste. Some younger men can be more mature than some older ones. I don't think you should cancel out someone who could be the perfect man for you because of his age.You should judge each man on his heart and the things that you find attractive and desireable in a partner or friend or boyfriend or husband.

Answer 6

You may find a greater sense of maturity, experience and wisdom. I agree with Phil G's equation, so your match is in his 30's, as long as he's not some 'old dude'. In fact, there are plenty of 40 year old men that still have their hair and their chest hasn't fallen to their belly, where age is just a number. Of course, a lot of these guys are already married or divorced. Notwithstanding, I wouldn't discount anyone based on age alone. I'd say try taking age out of the decision making process and just see what happens. Enjoy!

Answer 7

Honey, I'm 24 and my long term boyfriend (and father of my child) is 34. No regrets what so ever. He is the man of my dreams. Before I met him I was always dating guys my age or younger. Like you I gave up after endless meaningless conversations and all that insecurity! Trust me once you go older you will never turn back! Good luck!

Answer 8

yes...more stability may be just what you need, however, keep in mind that an older man may see you as too young at first...be prepared to capture their attention with more than just looks. Older guys have already seen pretty...and mature ones are past being impressed by a pretty face...there has to be a little more going on than that. Good Luck out there.

Answer 9

Yes go for a older guy they are great i am 21 and my bf is 25 and he makes me happy so go for older men. Besides younger men are a bit childish!

Answer 10

A little personal advice here from me to you....older men act just the same way as the young guys. And then you wonder if they aren't married or have NEVER been married at their old age, then there must be something terribly wrong with them. So just be wary of your older men!
