When older women start talking to you, it's usually because your body language and attitude has achieved a level of confidence that they find attractive. It's a good sign that you're growing.

Yes, yes, yes. You know what I love about dating these older women? They never thought in their minds they'd want to have sex with a guy who is 12-13 years younger than them!

I have dated many older women. It seems to average 13 years older, but they've ranged as much as 23 years older than me. They definitely have a lot of great qualities, but it's a trade off. Younger guys will only rarely have the self confidence and self control that an older man would usually have, especially in the face of a more experienced woman; but experienced women sure do know how to have a good time. Sadly, I have yet to meet one who hasn't tried in some way to either mother or manipulate me, and I have yet to see any couple where the woman was older where that was not the case.

It happens no matter what the age pair is, but it's almost guaranteed if she's older than he is, unless he's REALLY strong and extremely skilled at detecting and destroying it. And seriously, even then, it's a huge waste of energy that could be spent better in a variety of ways.

I won't write older women off, because they certainly are refreshing in balance to younger women. But would I marry one? At this point, it seems unlikely. Although I reserve the right to have my foot shoved in my mouth if I should discover my primary soul mate is older than me! lol
