A person's profile can be such an interesting sketch of who a person really is. I find so many of them to be just fascinating. And others, down right hysterical.
One thing bewilders me at times. Do women not know that they mature at a different rate than men? I know most women want a man as close to their age as possible. They hope this will mean they will have more in common. It should increase the chance they will share whatever phase of life in which they find themselves to be. But if they are hoping to find a man the same age and with the same maturity level, then I feel sorry for them. You will usually have to choose between the chance for common taste for music, fashion, recreation, or common maturity level.
Now I know this will sound like a old guy trying to appeal to younger ladies (and maybe it is), but I am going to put it out there anyway.
Ladies, guys mature much slower than you do. You need to accept it. Stop complaining about it. It has been true through all the ages, and nothing can be done to change it. I do feel sorry for a girl who wants to date an 18 yr old guy, because I used to be an 18 yr old guy. I remember what I was like. I see what they are still like. It is sad. And I hate to admit this, but guys are not that bright. Just like ladies are not that sane. LOL Getting off the subject.
Ladies, you are going to have to deal with guys not being able to catch up to your level of maturity, or date someone older. I am sorry.
Are there exceptions out there? Of course there are. I bet there were about 3 or 4 mature guys in your whole high school.
Maturity levels even out in the thirties upwards so a 46 year old woman like me should be able to choose a younger man in his thirties if she wishes, just like men who prefer younger women. There is no difference whatsoever.
I think you are right Ambrose - the first time I was arrracted to somebody younger it was a bit of a novelty - nowadays, age simply doesnt come into it - unless of course, they are somewhere around the ages of my children
