Older Women (mature, problems, looking, interested)

[andreaspercheron]

Is it not normal to be attracted to someone? It's not like everyone wears their age on their head so you can't possibly help who you are attracted to. For someone to say that it's not normal is just silly LOL. If you are enjoying yourself and having fun and meeting women that stimulate you physically and mentally then kudos to you. And yes, older women DO rock LOL

ROFLMAO. Sorry. Four years older is "an older woman"?
I think most people would refer to someone four years older or younger "about my age"

2-4 years is not really an "older woman" as others have said. Old enough to be your sister =/= "older woman". Sounds ageist tbh

EXACTLY!

Older women tend to come with more baggage and thus are harder to deal with; largely because they're at a different stage in life than you so due to the experience factor, she may set in her ways so if you're expecting an older woman to change even though you feel it's constructive, forget it.

I think most people would say exactly the opposite - older women (and men) have more life experience, but they also tend to be more at peace with themselves, and experience has softened them into being more accepting of the foibles of others.

PS. People don't change at any age for another person.

Older women may have more "baggage" (and not always necessarily so) because they've been through more life experiences, but they tend to have more maturity to deal with issues. Besides, I've known plenty of 18 and 19 year olds who have a lot of emotional "baggage", so it goes both ways.

Can't argue with that.

Good points from both of you
