There is a lot of beauty in youth and this makes most women uncomfortable for some reason. Now, I rarely end up with girls in their early 20s anymore because of personality mismatches and we're are on different stages on the road of life. But I'm by far more physically attracted to a girl in her early 20s than a woman about my age. It is what it is.

Money and "the game" are two things a man can develop later in life. Looks, not so much. What you're born with is more or less what you got. You can work out a bit, keep yourself in shape and that helps I suppose. But a lot of men hold onto these two things because it's comforting that they're are a lifestyle away from swimming in *****.

But there is some truth in it. Personality raises anyone several notches or down several notches. And there is a certain subset of women who are just attracted to money. I remember talking to this Russian girl out in LA, she wasn't even that attractive:

She: My boyfriend has a Lamborghini
Me: what does he do?
She: Haha, I don't actually know. All I know is he's persian, rich and has a Lamborghini
She: Want to see a picture? [shows me a picture of the car, not her boyfriend]

Ughhh...if only I had a dime for all the tall men who approached me with the assumption that I was going to be immediately interested just because they were taller than me. Okay...maybe a quarter...I'm a tall, greedy b*tch.

It seems to me that women are more attracted to certain types of men. By types I mean it in a vague category of what he's like, what he does, and how he acts. Looks can be very important or not at all depending on the type.

Men seem to be more attractive to types of a women. But here the types are purely physical and go no deeper than does she have the kind of figure I like, the color hair, the eyes?

Example:

Women: I like a man who is successful. A businessman.
Men: I like a woman with DDs, and a nice ass!

Women: I like a man to be an ex-con! A badass. Who drives a motorcycle and takes **** from no one.
Men: I like redheads.

Women: I like the nerdy, dorky guys.
Men: I like fat women

Of course this is still a simplification but I think it's very true. So yea, looks are important for women and they're not necessarily the whole thing when it comes for men (personality does count for something) but I think the above is pretty much accurate for the types that men and women pursue.

Yea, it doesn't always work Nothing in life is a certainty. But I found that tall women are naturally more interested than average height women or shorter, on average.

Why is a man who dates a much younger woman insecure? I don't understand that.

I've got news for you. Some of the women you're attracted to that you think are in their early-to-mid-20's are actually in their 30's or 40.

Never happened to me. In fact, more like the opposite has happened to me. Thinking this girl is in her early 20s but really she's in her mid/late teens.

I still remember this, I came back to Detroit after not being there for 10 years and meeting some old friends at a church dinner. The guy (my friend) and his wife and me were chatting when this girl comes out of nowhere, in a short skirt showing off a spectacular body, just comes up to me and shakes my hand. And introduces herself. She's their daughter, and the last time I saw her she was a toddler. They were exchanging leery smiles that amounted to: yeah, can you believe that's HER.

Her age? 12. And I was gonna guess late teens/early 20s just going on looks. I felt so dirty, I went and got another beer (yeah, they had it at the church dinner).

None of this is politically correct to say on CD and I'm expecting to be chewed out for it, but it's a message board. **** it.

Generally speaking those men want someone who is inexperienced so they can stay in control. How much do you really have in common with someone 15 years your junior?
