Answering the age question

[Mark]

31's hardly a handicap...

I will say that the ladies here (youregettingitwrong and FirstAidKit) do have a legitimate point. A lot of older guys want to have their cake and eat it too. They want the sexy young bodies, but they want them to be mature and have interesting things to talk about too. Every older guy I've ever met who dates women 15-20 years younger than him runs into problems with immaturity and not being able to relate with one another.

At some point these guys need to get over their fixation on physical appearance and find a woman who's going to make them happy. And that's more likely to be a woman who's slightly older.

I've noticed in myself that I love to sleep with the 18-22 year olds. But most of my significant emotional connections happen with women in the 25-35 age range. And I'm only 28.
