I have been thinking of dating up a bit lately. Mid 20s are a lot more boring the early 20s. Girls are all about career before anything else, the "young professionals". While I take my career seriously, after my 8 hours I like to have fun and do not talk about my job much. These girls I keep meeting that are all about their job are so boring! I have been thinking of dating 5-10 years older or maybe 4-5 years younger, and not expect much from my own age group.

I agree completely. My first husband and I were the same age. My current husband is younger. He is way more mature than my first husband.

My daughter, at 22, is far more mature than I was at 35 - numbers are numbers, people are people.

Age does not go hand in hand with maturity or stability.

It is so refreshing to hear some men say that they will date older women. I found the dating scene to be cruel when it came to age. Most men were interested in younger women only. No matter what the man's age, they seemed willing to date 18 year olds, but God forbid, you were one whole year older than the guy (gasp!)

LOL, yeah, that gives it away, doesn't it? It's all about maturity and what one expects from relationships -- not age, necessarily. IIRC, this OP was playing email or phone games with a woman at work. No 40-something women I know would put up with stupid crap like that.
