Here is more to think about: Lets say he has a good job, divorced, no kids, has a great personality, loves to laugh, is romantic, puts others first, has gone to college, and wants to start a family.
Down side: does not have a 6 pack stomach, has a receeding hair line, and wants to start a family sooner than later.

the receding hair line, and tummy flab isn't the problem. The thing is, that you have lived double her age. You have such wonderful attributes and any girl would be LUCKY to be with you. The only problem is that the 20 something girl still has to live her life, and may not know who she is, while you are sure of who you are. She's in her twenties right? Well I dont think you should make a move if shes younger than 26. Anything younger no matter how mature they may be, has not experienced enough life to be with you, and to have a mature relationship. You know heart ache, and most likely this girl's only heart ache was in High School when her sweety was caught making out with her best friend behind the bleachers.
It is very possible that she could like you. If she acts like it, its probably because you are a sweet guy, but also, because she's flattered. It doesnt mean she wants to have your babies. She's probably more focused on her career and going to clubs than taking the kids to kindergarten. You seem awesome, I'm just worried that she wouldn't be able to live up to her full potential if she just stopped right now and settled down without being fully mature, and if she doesn't have time to find herself.
On the contrary, if she ended up with some immature 20 something guy that may be more damaging. Maybe you could try and get to know her, tell her you like her, but tell her you would like to know more about her. I think you could be good for her, but I'm not sure how great she could be for you.

I am in my 20's....almost 30 now...and I would have to say no.
There are sooo many men and women in their 20's that are just finishing up school, establishing their careers, dating to have a good time....Worrying about having to settle down right away and you wanting to start a family sooner than later may be more of a turn off to a lot of ladies in their 20's, more so than receeding hairlines or lack of a six pack.
You seem like a sweet guy...aim a little older ;)
Goodluck!

Well, I am not in my 20's, but when I was I would have said "No". The main reason was just because I felt I would have nothing in common with a man that age, and I thought that someone that much older would try to run my life as more of a "father figure" than an equal.
However, other girls do and have. I have a friend getting married this weekend who is 27 marrying someone who is 42. She is very mature for her age, and always dated older men. Their relationship seems to be one where he respects her as a person and took the time to get to know her for more than 1 thing.
I guess it just depends on the girl...

You know it all depends on the person. They say when your in love age is just a number. EVERYONE is attracted to different people. I personally prefer older guys because they are more mature. I am 19 and I date guy who are under 30. Mostly because they know how to treat a woman. Guys around my age just want sex. If there is a girl in her 20's who likes you go for her. But remember she might not want to move that fast. You might want to give her time. If your 40 maybe try 30's they would be more willing to move in a faster pace like you prefer. I hope I helped.

If he were all the things that you say he is, then yes. Looks are only a small part of a relationship. Remember; like the old woman who kissed the cow, everyone to their own taste. The romance will win the girl. Good Luck!!!!

In my 20s, I wouldn't have dated a guy who was 40. At 30, it's still unlikely I'd date someone a decade older than me. Question... what's wrong with finding a woman closer to your age?

If the girl is mature at 20 go for it! When I was 21 I dated a 42 yr. old, but found out he wasn't any more mature then guys in their 20's!
Why do you want a girl so young??

What does a 20 year old and a 40 year old have in common? Not a lot I do not think this is a good thing.

I wouldn't because that guy would be my Dad's age!!! and it is extremely disturbing and disgusting for me to do such thing!!! I'm only 18 and I would never like or have any kind of relationship with a boy no older that 24, max!

If it is someone specific just get to know them before asking them on a date. It all depends on the girl
