Initially I canceled a date tonight but I called her and we met up anyways. This woman is 32 years old and very sweet.

I'm a 34 years old woman, and I don't find it difficult to date men in their 30's. Actually I even get guys much younger than me asking me on dates (22-25 years old).
Now finding a decent man is another topic

it's good for sex in the nightclub, but it's unacceptable for the serious relationship. IMHO.

No kids, full of life, positive thinker, active... you do what you gotta do to find someone like that.
An "adorable little 27 y.o." you say? Was she wearing those ruffle-rumba-butt panties and buckle shoes?
A guy definitely does 'do what hes gotta do' to get one when they're outa your league, you may like to start reserving rooms at fancy resorts for road trips and v.i.p. box suite seats right away

35 and 20 is almost verging on child abuse. LOL.... 20 is soooooo young and 35 is soooo not "stupid young" like 20 is.

Whatever, I guess everyone's legal. I'd rather suck on hot coals than date a 20 yr old woman. LOL, the idiocy coming out of her mouth just wouldn't be worth the "youth" that she brings to the table.

I'm sure they're out there.

It was easier to find singles under 25 or so, back when I was single. It seemed a good amount of 25+ year olds were either married or had kids and maybe even were divorced already. I even went out with a few 24 year olds that had kids already.

If time and go-nownere relationships make a person damaged goods then you are damaged goods.

You're middle-aged.

She's not.

Nothing is going to change that until she too is middle-aged. At which time you will be ready for AARP.
No one said having relationships that didn't work out made you damaged goods. It's your mental state in the here and now that matters. I'm not sure what type of age gap you're talking about...as far as myself goes I know I can date a woman at least 10 years younger than me very easily.

The fact is by age 35 a lot of single women are jaded. They don't care about romance anymore or if they are divorced they might not even want to get married again. A lot of them are also tied down with young kids and I will never deal with that.

Men chasing younger women is just normal it's always been like that. Not to mention, it's like that all over the world. I live near a couple from India and her husband is around 15 years older than her.

I've got news for you. A lot of men over 35 are jaded too. It took a lot of dating for me to find one who wasn't. But I can't even remember how many dates I had with men who usually spent the date complaining about ex wives, ex girlfriends, womankind in general. I wondered if they really wanted a date or just a sympathetic ear to talk to. I usually listened and offered support but I never dated those men again. I was looking for a boyfriend, not looking to be someone's personal life counselor.

That said, a lot doesn't mean all. So I never gave up on men (or try to stray dating men that seem like kids to me). I guess I'm determined and optimistic. I'm not jaded when it comes to men because quite a few are jaded when it comes to women. I Just kept looking and that's how I found someone wonderful.

Mod cut: Quoted post deleted.

Haha I almost this missed this. This reeks of jadedness I love it. Hilarious. How do you know if someone is out of someone's league over the internet exactly? Lol. My last girlfriend was almost 10 years younger than me and adorable, attractive, hot, a babe, could dress to kill, really high on the 1 to 10 scale. Whatever terminology you like. I know men chasing younger woman sends some women over the edge mentally but really it's just the natural order of things in many cases.

Adorable to me is someone that hasn't let herself go just like I haven't, and yup I like women more on the slender or petite side that doesn't look like a pool table when she puts on a green sundress.
