I've missed out on their energetic, carefree personalities and their vibrancy. It's hard to find a woman of my age who has as much energy as a woman in her early 20s. I don't find women in their late 20s/early 30s to be as interesting and fun and exciting. In my opinion the number of women my age who act "immature", and are not boring, is few and far between. Sometimes I wish for a type of woman my age who has the personality and attitude of Mariah Carey or Demi Moore or Madonna.
If you're looking for immature, then early 20s is right up your alley.
Energetic, carefree, vibrant, interesting and fun are personality traits not defined by age. An immature 30 year old male is only going to appeal to certain types. Would an immature young woman in her early 20s rather be with an immature male 10 years her senior or one in her age group?
Women in their 20's are generally more attracted to men in their 30's, but they usually don't know this.
That is, you line them up face-to-face and they'll go for the older man, but if you were to ask them, "would you date a guy in his 30's?", they'll be reluctant.. especially in the early 20's.
Age makes a big difference for men, because they always seek out women who display feretility, health and youthfulness. THis is why women will sometimes act in a childlike manner, or act that way because it is attracrtive to males. It highlights helplesness and vulnerability, both of which are feminine traits. However, if a man were to do this, most women would find it creepy. For women its usually not a deal breaker as older males normaly gain status as they age. Youthfulness is not a requirement for a male to be an attractive mate. Of course, every individual is unique and has his/her own preferences.

I am in my late 40's and have plenty of 20 somethings coming on to me. Maybe they know I am married, maybe not. Who knows. I don't mind although I don't act on it. Then again it could be the Porsche, airplane, and boat. Maybe it is the amazing job and the money. I have no idea what they see in me other than it puts a smile on my face.
Maybe if you have concerns you should buy yourself a Porsche, airplane, and a boat. Oh and get a good job or start a business that provides for you.

I don't know...not my experience at all having once been a 20something girl. In fact, it was exactly the opposite: the idea of a dashing older man was exciting, but up close...I don't know, not so much. It was a little creepy in reality.
^^ Oh...which is not to say "don't try"...we should always go for what and who makes us happy. Give it a shot but as an older man, generally, if you're not bringing something else to the table (like soon2b stated above, a Porsche, for example...remember, you're seeking out a more superficial age group in general), IOW if you're the *average* middle-age guy, 20somethings won't be flocking to you.
Just my observations. I was always a little less shallow than this or I hope I was.
When I was 25 I met my future husband, he was 36 at the time. I preferred to date men at least a few years older. I guess up to 10 years older was my "cut off" age. (Technically he is 10.5 years older, lol)
I'm not sure I would have wanted a serious relationship with anybody older than that but I'll never know the answer to that as I'm 37 now and he's 48. The age gap hasn't made a difference so far.
I'm not sure if its something in the water these days but Ive seen my share of 28 year old women lately that look 48? Kind of a Rosie O'donel look but much younger.
