Modern throwback at him is well deserved so far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, back to O.P.'s fetishes. I hope he finds what's best for him. I sincerely mean that.
Very interesting. The op just needs a mature date.

My girlfriend when I was 22-23 was 31-32. I had no particular strategy for meeting older women, though. We just kind of wound up together. She was a lot of fun, but we had a stormy affair and I moved on (and hopefully she did too) to marriage and a much better relationship.
So a bunch of ballers.lol You are attracted to what you are attracted to.

She liked me and didn't try to act like she didn't, but she was a little apprehensive at first. I remember her saying "I'm an old woman" and stuff like that. She had a few visible gray hairs on the sides, which you could only see up close. And after she first came over after I asked her out, I remember her hiding them and she kept messing with the sides of her hair.

Hey man, let me tell you something: older woman (28-35) are quite demanding, and don't believe for a min an older woman makes her automatically more mature.

You're better off dating women around your age, imo. But its your life; do as you want, date who you want.
Yes many of us old farts are still getting our ***** together.

I also find older women more attractive.

Question: how do I go about meeting older women and am I crazy for trying?
Can't beat an older woman especially for a young bloke your age........ They will eat you alive! LMAO

How do you meet them?... Simple the bar scene rarely fails for me ... As long as you know how to approach and can hold a normal conversation with charm and wit thrown in? You're laughing

Older women are harder to pull for most people for the simple fact that they have heard every single chat up line, seen all types of blokes and LOVE a bloke that can hold his own with exchanging wit and flirting....

Personally I'm with you 100000% and I love the older woman

Well, I am married, so off the market; but if I were IN the market, for the record I adore younger men..... my "sweet spot" are guys from 30 - 45 or so. For some reason, this age group seems to be attracted to me as well. I'm in my 60's going on my 30's. Many years ago my BFF and I used to say "give us a young buck anyday"! But not acting on anything, I have a good husband so staying true. He is a little younger than me, hehe........

He's so cute though. I'm like, "Sweetie, I'm sure there are lots of girls at your school who would be interested in you." Not that he knows exactly how old I am since my age isn't on Tinder, but I did tell him that I graduated from college a long time ago. lol

My guess is he figures you are trying to flirt with him with that sort of talk and that you're exciting him because he's expecting you to be the average grateful sex starved cougar who will buy him drinks and gifts and then wear him out, just like the commercials promise.

The old urban legend about the older woman who will "teach" the younger guy while he lies there doing nothing, and who "doesn't need to be wooed" (i.e. the younger guy doesn't need to spend any money on a date - because old women are past all that baloney and silliness - OR have a personality), are alive and well.

Tell him the whole virgin thing and see if he keeps hanging around.

Once again, he doesn't know how old I am and I don't look my age, so I don't think he's thinking that at all.

I was the one who chose to stop seeing all the guys who I told about it.

I am not just looking for sex. Third of all, I'd say that I am a great companion because I really don't care if I'm with a significant other out for dinner or drinks, at the movies, at a museum, or at home. I just want to enjoy someone's company and for them to enjoy mine.

Now, here is the challenge. I'm not financially secure; I am going to grad school and work part-time. I live at home though I do have my own car.
I think you should look for other grad school students who are a bit older than you. That's the pool where you might have the best luck dating.

If you were your age, done with college, in a career job, had your own place, etc... with the attributes you mentioned, you'd have no problem finding women in the late twenties, maybe even early thirties.

It's the "Lives with mom and dad and has no real job" thing that is likely holding you back more than numerical age and/or personality.

He knows and if he didn't before, the whole "sweetie" speech clinched it.

Everyone thinks they don't look their age.

Let him in on the virgin thing, see if he sticks around. Prove me wrong.
