Young women on the other hand in early 20s are much more attractive and only want FUN. They will ONS a guy and not think twice about it.

As for how to attract them, get in good shape, act immature, and say your 29 😎
What PhD program are you in that you don't need to write a dissertation? ha

I agree that you need to be fit, attractive, willing to spend a few dollars, and interesting/intriguing in some way.

Younger women I have been involved with were motivated by 1.) Curiosity; 2.) Unresolved father issues; 3.) Desire/Need for emotional security and someone who listens to and "gets" them; 4.) A teacher.

It goes without saying that an older man must never, ever, delude himself into believing a relationship is possible, even if she says that it is. Casual dates/sex is all that should be expected.
Really? At age 37 I married my 22 y.o. girlfriend. At the Fairfax Courthouse in fact. We have successful careers, a beautiful family, and will be celebrating our 20th anniversary next month.
Never say never.

37/22 is not too big a gap. I was thinking 20+ years (I once dated someone 22 years younger), at which point it is not only unfeasible, but silly.

Everyone is different. Maybe in his case the two girls he dated that was the case.
Relationships aren't breezy and relaxing......*at any age*.

What makes these two young women and Chriz Brown so special and different?

Oh this is the internet where people have perfect drama free relationships, lmao

Not necessarily. I have a friend in his 40's who has been with the same girl (in her mid 20's) for a few years now.

That means they started in her early 20's, which now puts him deep inside the Danger Zone. Mid-twenties women want -- an need -- to spread their wings and experience what life has to offer them. Any partner can feel like an anchor.

Sure, but everyone is not the same.

People say a lot of things about men in their 30's that don't apply to me.

The gap between a 20-something woman and 30-something man is not big enough to be a concern. If it is a 40-something guy or older, then he is simply begging to (eventually) get his feelings hurt.

And doesn't know the difference between your and you're. Lol.

I know, I know. "It's the internet!!!!!"

I like how OP is all "I like young women because women my age have other priorities."/ but left out the "The woman I previously dated expressed different priorities regarding children and I hid the fact that I wasn't interested in children in 3-5 years, if that. I decided to keep that from her because I knew she would probably end things due to our incompatible priorities."/ part.

Because it's so unusual that a woman in her early 30s express her life goals, or call things off if the person she's dating doesn't have the same priorities.
