I'd say mature men. Most of them are ripe and ready for a long lasting commitment.

I am 28,  seeing a man who is 49.  I have always dated older, several years older.  I have always been more "settled" than others my age,  never being into the whole party/drinking scene, etc, etc.  I find that older men have "been there,  done that" and are in turn more settled as well.  They better understand that pleasantness and value in just being able to sit next to someone and be content.  I don't really know how to explain it other than being more comfortable and laid back.

I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

Sometimes it's true that women's maturity level progresses faster than younger men's. In your case you might be feeling a bit uncertain because that statement does not apply to you. \nRemember: Age is only a number. So is salary.\n\nIf you can love him no matter what and want to work things out with him, no matter what, then he is the one for you.\n\nEveryone has differences in taste, his is 80's music and an early bed time.. so what? At least he isn't a drug addict and abuser. Take it for what it's worth... if he treats you well, is financially stable and willing to work on your relationship, you've got a winner!\n\nGood luck, and look out for yourself--

Sounds like you're maturing!  They say men mature around the age of 25....... I think it is possible to find someone for a meaningful relationship in a nightclub....but you should find someone that you are interested in talking to instead of just taking home for a quickie!

30s..enjoy your 20s, masters will be more enjoyable when you are more mature anyway.

My boyfriend is 43 and I am 25.  We have been together for 3 years now and it is the best relationship I have been in.  I couldn't imagine ever dating somebody my own age again.  They are so immature and in this relationship I feel like there is stability.  I think he will definitely stay with you because men like younger women and if you are good to him and he is good to you, it will work.

false. a man can mature at any age.  it's depends on how he acts and what he's experienced in his lifetime.  i'm 26 but i consider myself very mature cause i've experienced so much to sink a battleship.  i hope this helps your question in any way

It is a trend but you have to decide what you want in a relationship and if they younger men are really capable of giving you what you are looking for.  If your just wanting to date and have a good time then as long as their over 21 go out and have some fun.  If however your looking for a serious relationship with someone who is stable and mature then you probably don't want to date anyone much younger than yourself.  The key is to do what is right for you and what your seeking in your life.

Well...I suppose it's relative to how mature he is.  \n\nWomen mature faster than men so I'm not sure it's wise to date a younger man. \n\nIf you were 40's I would say there's not a huge gap, but early 20's people are still figuring out life and who they are. \n\nI don't think there's anything 'wrong' with it as long as he's legal. I just don't think it's wise...(I make these remarks based on the facts as I'm given them).\n\nIf you must, date him years and years before you ever marry.

Age should not make a difference. I should know, I am dating a younger man. So as long as the age is legal I see no harm in it. But, honestly, what do you think you have in common with a 20 y/o?

Nothing wrong with being 40, a lot of guys usually reach their attractive peak at that age. Don't worry about it. They get better looking when they are older and mature.

All men, all people are different depending on how or where the grew up. Don't lump us all together in one boat. In a good relationship, a mature couple will debate an issue (not argue) and find some common ground on which they can agree or make compromises to agree. Always respect your partners opinion whether you be male or female.

I don't think 10-12 years is a big deal.  You can look just as good or better then the woman his age, plus your smarter and wiser!  After that I would say time takes a toll!  If it's not the physical appearance your worried about, but maturity, well maturity comes in all ages.  I've seen 20 year olds more mature then 30 year olds and so on....just enjoy what you got!  Hardest part is finding someone you connect with, and you already accomplished that!  ps.It's the perfect age difference for a great sex life-so I heard! LOL

I date and live with a man that is 10 yrs. younger than I am, and we have the most wonderful love and relationship you could imagine. I personally do not think age should matter at all as long as the two of you are happy.

I've always preferred older guys and always will, I like their wisdom and life experience and women also mature quite fast so this works well with older guys. I always find it odd when older women go out with younger guys, I really can't comprehend that one.

Grow up and look for a "real relationship." The mature thing is to find a life partner who values you and who you, in turn, value. You should have compatible morals and life goals. That "friends with benefits" thing is just for hoes and people too shallow or immature to have REAL relationships.
