When it comes down to picking up a mid 20's girl...many times they are the ones who want to be picked up be a person their own age or someone older.
Case in point...me at mid 50's asked a girl at a disco to dance and spent the rest of the night with her and a friend. She was 24 and the friend a couple yrs older. Took both to the friends place at 4 AM after the club closed. Three days later she called the house where I was staying wondering why I had not called. To be honest I was a little wasted and don't remember what I had said earlier on the first night.
Long story to the point. Some weeks later the friend asked me (this was in Mexico City) if I always picked up on younger girls. I answered that I had asked her to dance...she did not say NO, I asked for a phone number...she did not say NO but gave me the home and work number, asked her to be my girlfriend after only one week...she did not say NO.
I met her complete immediate family and I was older then her parents.
Now who is chasing who here? The word NO can be said very easily at any point whether it be a younger or older person when it comes down to a possible relationship.
My first (late) wife was a yr and a half older then me. My oldest son married a girl who was about the same age difference. Both women were the best a man could find. We both had a tendency for older women. Like father like son.
Men have always dated women that were 5 -7 years younger than them. I am now 63 and my wife five years younger.As I thoght about it I only know one couplke that the husband isn't at lerast 3 years older and some as much as 8 years.The one who are the same age where sweethearts in high school. Its quite normal really.Personally I thni it has more to do with the woman than the men from what women have told me.
So you are still single and feeling you must be normal and hook up? Think of this , I personally know four guys right now in their 40's who after years of marriage their wife left them now that the kids are grown and they are all financially burdened or ruined and emotionally destroyed from the wifey bailing out and realizing that they are faced with living alone as age creeps in because hardly a woman out there wants a financially ruined guy in his 40's or so,while the ex wife took her chunk that frees her from bills and mortgages and goes out to explore herself and think of herself now that the responsibilty of kids are gone.
Yeah, get married, have kids and a house with a picket fence, it could work out but.........
I met my SO of four years shortly after I turned 30. He was 27. I usually didn't give younger guys a second glance due to past experience involving immature guys. Glad I overlooked my rule of thumb.
I dated a lot of younger guys in my 20s and 30s because they were fun and easy going. As I got more serious about what I wanted, I dated closer to my age, which didn't result in marriage. There are no guarantees. Just find someone you like who has the qualities you seek. At my age, it's tough to tell how old someone is because people have varying degrees of aging and fitness. When things become serious, I'll cross the age bridge then. In the meantime, it's just fun getting to know people. I'd prefer not to make age an obstacle if it doesn't have to be.
Is it too much to be wanting to date women in their mid 20's? I was telling a co worker that I had gone out on dates with women and they all were in the early to mid 20's. She is like "that's your problem...you should be dating women your age!"
Am I missing something here?
Well, early 20's is pushing it (like only 20 or 21) but I see no problem with mid 20's at all. If you have things in common with them then it is no different than someone plus or minus 2 yrs of you. However, it could also be that you are avoiding commitment. Women close to 30 are more likely looking for their future to be. Most women realize their pool of prospects gets smaller as they age. On the other hand, for men it seems to get bigger to some degree. Lot's of girls like older guys so I guess you have that advantage working for you.
What you're missing is that when you're in your 40's, you'll still be chasing after women in your 20's and you'll still be single.
Time to be realistic about finding a mate and not be so hung up on the age.
You have me all wrong...What I am saying is that at my current age, why is it wrong to others for me to date women in their early 20's. I know as I get OLDER, I will have to adjust my dating pool age and I am ok with that.
Oh and the sugar daddy thing does not only pertain to younger women. I dated a 40 year old professional woman with a masters who makes double of what I make asking me to buy her expensive purses. Go figure...

No.
I'm 39. Most of the women I hang out with are in their mid-20's, mid-30's. Our interests are similar and, coincidentally, some of them are single and I'm single. Naturally, that's the pool from which I date. It is what it is. If mid-20's women are who happen to be available to you what can you do? And besides, what are you supposed to do? Cross potential mates off the list because of some age limit set by someone else?
Blah...
