I guess this is for men, but also men over 30...do you feel like it is difficult to connect with girls aged 21-25? Sexually I think most men would be most attracted to this age group, but does the mindset/life stage differences are too big?
I feel like women in their 30s know what they want from life and relationship, that's a plus. But overall the physical aspect, plus 'low mileage' (if you care at all about history, some don't, same may apply for men, to avoid being called sexist lol), overall tends to tip the scale towards younger girls (if you are 30 something year old male).
I find that they're really not all that different mentally. And, as you mentioned, "low mileage" and the beauty that comes with being twenty-something is a big plus for me.
The low mileage made me laugh too. I can't decide if some guys think all women are hyper sexual from the get go or if they only notice the ones who are. By the low mileage logic a 21 year old escort has less "mileage" than a 25 year old religious woman saving herself for marriage.
To answer the question though. Date who you want if they want to date you too. You aren't even talking about a 10 year age gap.
"Low Mileage" did sound funny . I think he is using that expression as a low mileage car means the car is in good shape in all aspects so that's the same thing with women in their 20s. I know women might not like this but women in their 20s will USUALLY be in better shape, nicer skin and hair, slender, prettier, etc.
Something I have noticed with the younger generation is how they are not as strict as older women (30+) when it comes to gender expectations. That's probably one of the few positive things I can think of about millennials .

Not at all! In fact, one of my friends is a woman who's 24. (I'm 34.) I met her in September last year at a Meetup event, and we've been great friends (platonic) ever since. I think what brings us together is being at the same life stage: she still wants to go out and explore, and I never wanted to settle down at all. We both like going to Meetup events, hiking, taking dance lessons, fun stuff like that. So far, we have not explored the idea of being together romantically, save for idle ideation like "If we're both still single in ten years..." I told her about my aversion to the concept of relationships, as well as past incidents that led to it, which she seems to be OK with.
Now, unlike me, she doesn't have relationship aversion. So I'm aware that down the road, she could find someone to settle down with, and adopt a more family-oriented lifestyle. Which will displace me. But for now, we have the shared interests and mindset that can sustain a strong friendship.

Like all of these things, wouldn't this be best evaluated on a case by case basis? I feel like when it comes to dating, people really limit themselves in a lot of ways when they should keep an open mind. Employment is no different. Having a job isn't necessarily a measure of responsibility and self sufficiency, nor is being unemployed necessarily indicative of the opposite.
I live in Boston, and with all of the schools in town, there are a lot of unemployed or underemployed women going for their Masters, Doctorate, or JD. There are also plenty of employed women who are in low-level jobs and don't have aspirations beyond that. So employed vs. unemployed alone isn't nearly enough to rule someone out. I'd rather date the unemployed Masters student than the girl who is 27 and has been "employed" as a restaurant hostess for 10 years with no end in sight.
At the end of the day, I want an independent, goal oriented partner. Employed is obviously a good indicator of that, but it's hardly foolproof (especially around here). I'd rather be with someone who is unemployed and working on their future, than someone who is employed and complacent.
I'm sticking to my guns on this one.
If she doesn't have some type of income coming in than it will be a problem.
Unemployment, part-time work, etc....there needs to be some type of income coming in.
I have no desire to be an ATM machine.
