This is a response to Soviets thread. I believe he's close to 20 and I'm 39 so I felt inclined to respond in kind. I really don't like dating down below 30 so take this tongue in....Cheek. Now, my frame of reference is my nephews and friends sons and are from actual examples.

Because some:

- men are already grown up
- know what they want out of life
- tend to be more steadfast and stable and are generally more established and settled in their
careers than are younger men
- are worldlier and more self-confident
- are financially secured and generally doing well at their profession
- view pleasure in a different light than younger men and are more concerned with the woman’s
pleasure as opposed to their own
- have more desirable qualities
- know what they want in a relationship and have more time to devote to a relationship
- usually create less drama

I DO agree, though I've found that men my age are VERY set in their ways. The type that are like "yes, I know X part of my personality is not conducive to relationships, but I'm not going to / can't change."

I think the main pros for dating an older man is that he may be more inclined to get married and have children before a younger man would. (Assuming that the woman even wants marriage and kids). Also, he should be more financially stable and more sophisticated.

I'm just guessing though because I've never dated a guy over 30. The last three guys I dated were 27, 22, and 24. I wouldn't mind going out with a 35 year old to compare and contrast.

Yes, this is generally true. The older they get, the less tolerant men *tend* to be of trying new things. They feel that they've done it all, know what they want and that further exploration is completely unnecessary.

hmm...older men are bitterly divorced and are looking for casual sex so they can "bang out" their frustrations with the ex wife...yep. that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

HaHa, Very good, LMAO "Fart and blame it on you" and "have a home they want you to clean"
I'm trying to think back 20 years if I thought that some of what Soviet said applied to me But, I can't remember back that far

This is one I see in older men and women a lot. But, I do know quite a few younger men and women who claim to be open minded and tolerant that are not. You even see them even here on CD when they make stereotypes as if they are fact.
