Tired of Being Single

I'm not too convinced by this! The boyfriends I've got on best with in the past have been a year younger than me, and recently a male friend who is only 5 years older than me said that I was "much younger than him"!

 

I have never had a boyfriend my own age, only younger or much older guys seem to be interested in dating me. Something about my youthful apptroach to life seems to put them off, as they're all busy trying to make it in their careers in their mid-thirties, and I just want to enjoy life without being a slave to the wage :-) Not that I'm flaky, I'm responsible enough to have always had a job and payed my own way, it's just not the top priority of my existence to make it big in business..

 

Maybe this is off-putting to guys but I don't really understand why.

Well, what works for YOU is what makes it great. Perhaps you don't want marriage, kids, or a career just yet...or any time. I noticed I like much older men because not only are they mature....but my bf already has three grown kids and he is not pressuring me to "start a fmaily" as compared to younger men just starting out in life. Some women, however, like younger men because of their carefree approach to life...and some older men DO pressure younger women to become stable...I guess youre right evevry woman and man is different, Im just stating the AVERAGE and what Ive rearched and/or been through....maybe when Im in my thirties I will want a younger man too! Were always evoloving and our priorities change over time...

 

best of luck!

Everyone is different when it comes to the age of the people you date. Personally, I have always been attracted to older guys (not 10 to 15 yrs) I'm talking more 4-8yrs older. But then I have some friends who have always dated guys younger than them and some that date the same age as them.  

  

I look a lot younger than I am, high energy, and love to live life, I'm not a slave either. The key is finding someone who has the same interests in life and you are in the same place in life.
