Dated no. Slept with yes. I was 19, she was 35. She was also a girl's mom, who had a crush on me in high school. No ragrets.

In my experience, it seems that teens and younger women are attracted to older men for the reasons you mentioned, plus the perceived notion that "older = mature." Then when women start hitting the 30s and 40s, they may pursue younger men as a vanity project to make themselves feel younger, and because younger men are more likely to be adventurous and energetic (rememebr that women hit their sexual peak around 40). But that's just what life has taught me.

Does she have kids?

I'll just level with you. If you can avoid it, avoid it. Then again no one should ever tell you how or who to love and all that.

The problem is a simple one, you are gonna just both be at very different places in your life. She will claim to be accepting of you, as you will claim to be accepting of her (love has a way of making people think they are flexible) but she's gonna expect certain things from you that you just won't even think to give. And when u give them they won't be cause you even think you should but rather cause you think that's what she wants.

In turn before long you will find yourself losing friends, losing urself and becoming more of who she wants you to be instead if whoever you should have been. You will notice that she's been there done that and most of what you may find new and exciting she would have not just done before but also have her own way of how she thinks you should do them.

Just avoid it if you can.... but if you can't, then enjoy it.

You been dating blow dolls or what?

Girls younger than 25 and without much experience are usually, uninteresting individuals on every aspect.

OP:

Mature women understand younger men better (than young girls) most of the time; they're objective and good teachers.

It all depends what you wanna do. Is this date a booty call or more serious matter?

Wow.

My first gf was 18 when I was 13

Now Im 19 and am with a 17yr old. So the age range is a bit closer XD but yeah, that first gf was probably too old for me, especially at the time o~o

You're not the only one. I've dated women 10+ years older than me. The thing is the dates were fun because they have a lot of things to say but sexually? I prefer younger than me, experience in bed is not exactly a plus for me, I prefer more... "innocence" :D

...

I seriously hope guys aren't this shallow.

Sort of....can't really call it dating, but I had a thing with my 8th grade English teacher for a few months. I was like 16 or something, and she was 25 or 26....don't recall exactly. She was like fresh out of school herself. Perky little blonde from San Diego. Good times.

Outside of that though I've never been with a girl that had a significant age difference to me. I mean I've dated a few girls that were like a year or two older than me, even one girl that was exactly a day older than me, which always really irritated her lol, but nothing extreme.

I dated a woman who was 28 when I was 21. It was good times. Plus the age difference wasn't that big and she identified with all the same issues I had. A friends mom hit on me though. That was like a 30 year age difference. I couldn't do it I got outta there.
