Whats the Hype about older women dating younger guys? (33)

All but two of my relationships have been with older women. When I was 19 I was seeing someone who was 24 (6 years together), and it was only the past few years I had been seeing a woman a couple years younger (but someone who generally acted older (more mature) than their age...so we matched), and recently tho, it was someone 27. Before that one that a brief fling was with someone 49....she was a little too old for me, and not as mature...if you can understand that.
27 is as young as I have ever gone. Can't see dating someone younger than 25, but if they were younger than that, they'd have to be very, very mature...At 19 I couldn't stand the immaturity of the women my age.

I have always been more mature than my age....at 19 I was being mistaken for 30....started my first business at 24. My employees were 20 years older than me...

I guess the younger women I am dating now have caught up in maturity...or I am de-evolving... But I wouldn't pass up on a woman 7 or 8 years my senior if she was someone I wanted to spend time with. To me though, 'cougars' seem liek women having a mid-life crisis. And men end up criticized for seeking younger women.....though I don't understand that train of thought, either....what would you have in common, really?

Heck, if you are at the same maturity level, go for it....except those guys & women who are 45 and act 12.
