Oh, please, if you're a 23 year old in college, you should be looking at the other girls in college. There are plenty of them. No need to be looking at 30+ year olds with whom you can't have a meaningful relationships and/or who are looking for the thrill of tighter flesh, a hairline that's more intact, or "breaking someone in."

I certainly would date a woman of 33 years. "Looking younger" isn't a major issue for me, as I don't believe that a person's attractiveness collapses at 30 like some on C-D do. I would have more apprehension about "keeping up" in the departments of life experience and intellect.

I went through a stage where I dated women who were older than I am. When I was 23 I dated a woman who was 37. When I was 24 I dated a woman who was 31. That one went well until I learned that she was still married. When I was 25 I dated a 34 year old woman. I certainly didn't plan it this way, it just sort of happened.

Neither do I. We are talking about weird imbalances in age. I was on the popular tourist tram in Lisbon a few years ago and there was an Italian woman, with her husband and daughter, who was stunning. She was probably around 42. Her daughter appeared to be 16. The daughter couldn't hold a candle to her mother then ... and probably not even if she were 25.

So this isn't about attractiveness. It's about selecting from a pool around your age and not having to go up THAT much, especially when one is relatively young.

Age is pretty much immaterial... someone is either attractive to you, or they aren't.

It would depend on the individual in question, but generally speaking I would never date a girl that much older than me. Honestly, I like being the older one in a relationship. Don't ask me why.

I never flirted with him , always being friendly and kind... The other day I initiated a casual conversation with him, he gave me this glance over(you know the Up and down look) and smiled at me, and seemed sort of nervous. Or if I try to start a friendly chat with him he looks into my eyes and smiles...I'm sure he knows that i'm older than him, but not sure if he is afraid of me, or just wants to hide his feelings??? He asked me casually if I had plans for the weekend , which I replied with: " no nothing important". Did he want to find out if i had a bf or was he asking me out indirectly??? I am afraid that the age difference will be refraining him from trying to show his true intentions!!! Your opinions are welcome...
I would have no issues with her being older then me if we clicked and she liked me for me.
