DO yall mind dating a guy that is younger than you, or it doesnt matter???
Me...I prefer someone who is older. I dont really feel comfortable dating a guy that is younger than me. If we were born the same year but my birthday comes first I dont mind...But I just feel uncomfortable with the idea of dating someone who is more than a year younger than me...I mean, if he is the love of my life and younger than me I of course aint gonna let him go over that. Thats petty. But right now in my life I couldnt see myself dating a guy younger than me, cause as we know...men mature slower than women, and I just dont think we would be on the same level...but maybe when I get into my twenties and Im interested in a man in his twenties younger than me, I may be more willing to pursue it then. But I will always prefer a man older than me.
They say that guys immature slower than females. That's why a lot of us go to older men and the reason why a lot of older women/younger men relationships don't work out.
I don't think age should matter..
Sure there are a lot of immature 18 year olds..but there are a lot of immature 25-30 year olds..
Crossing someone off the list because they are 2-3 years from the age that you prefer without really knowing them isn't fair..
^^^tru, but at the same time ur more likely to run into that young-minded mentality the closer they r to 18 or so in my experience the ones that were closer to my age (same yr or just a lil tiny bit older) and I attempted to talk to this guy who was close in age, but it was something I often thought about…the same goes for guys who r shorter than I am, but hey there is always that 1 exception to the rule so u never kno
I was ALWAYS against dating younger guys until one in particular came me way when I needed attention the most. He was so sweet and caring and always wanted to make me happy. I've noticed that sometimes the young ones will appreciate us a lil more b/c they don't wanna lose that.
But like i said...that was only ONE younger guy and I'm back to the older and wiser end of the spectrum. I just turned 20 and my "guy friend" with be 25 in a couple months....he seems more like 24 going on 35 though. Oh well...that's how I like 'em!
All of my BFs have been younger than me..................... by a few days or a couple months.
I just don't see me wanting to talk to someone 25+......I just feel like a) he's a loser because he can't find someone his own age b) I still have some growing up to do or c) I'm not trying to have some dude act like he's my daddy or d) he has bad intentions...I mean seriously what does a guy his age look like introducing me to his friends and family...either there's another older woman in the picture or he's just not ready to settle and tryin to live beyond his years.
I mean yeah older guys probably have more money than younger guys blah blah blah...but I just feel comfy with somebody who is no more than 3 years older than me. Younger than me...definitely not...he would have to be one hell of a dude.

Well I can't speak for all guys...or any guys, but in my current situation with the 24 y/o...i wondered about all of the things u listed, and the justification is that his parents are the same age difference as we are so though I havent met them, that wouldn't be an issue. He's definitely not a loser b/c he's talking to a 20 y/o b/c he's dated older and younger women before me. He doesn't act like my dad not one bit, and he is the settling type b/c he was previously engaged. Oh...and never once has it been about the money.
I dunno...maybe my guy friend is an exception to the rule...but he definitely has it sh*t together and it's not like he went out hoping to find a younger girl...we have known each other for 3 years now, and I guess that's what makes the difference between us and some guy LOOKING for a girl 5 years younger than him. Just don't shoot down all older guys so soon. Some of them really aren't out preying on younger women, and they might actually bring a lot to the table. I like to be able to learn something from my sig other, and he teaches me so much and he's so inspiring. Guys my age....just don't do it for me. It seems like more often than not I'm teaching them how to speak correct english and conduct themselves in public places! :evil:
Well I was speshoo bad **** little girl when I was younger so they had me sit back a year when I in the 1st grade. So all the boys I've talked to have been in the same grade as me, just not the same age. I've always been older....take that back...no I haven't..the MAJORITY of my boyfreinds have been younger by a year and with one loser, two years. But the older guys I've dated all seemed like they had something up there sleeve. Like I was talking to a 27 year old when I was 20 and he thought that he could get away with alot more stuff because he was older and he thought he knew more than me. HA NUCCA! I caught his **** too...<~~ random..
I prefer a guy that is older than I am....we all know that MOST women mature faster than MOST men...so I dont wanna double back to a youngin lol..... :roll:
@ EnTice...lol...I didn't feel like quoting
Naw I haven't completely ruled out older men...I guess all I've had approach me was bad examples...you know the dudes in the club, on the Metro (subway) stuff like that...u know the scary ones or the fake pimps. I mean if a decent older dude approached me and I was single I would probably give him the time of day...but all the ones I've met just seemed to fit in the categories I stated in my previous post.
