younger guys?

[kwalan]

Would you go out with a guy younger than you? how young relative to your age? As one gets older, a wider gap would mean less than at a younger age...


















//hidden agenda: i'm 19, and i'm interested in this 20 year old. i'll ask her out next weekend.

[karizma]

>> my preference for guys is usually around 2 years older and no younger...but im 17 and who wants to date a 16 er 15 year old boy? even 16 year old girls dont wanna date 16 year old boys haha...i guess its because of the maturity level...and yea you're right as you get older age gaps would matter less and less but i think most girls still prefer an older guy...still there are exceptions...i know 19 year olds guys with 21 year old girls and there was a 16 year old guy with a 21 year old girl...he got madd props for that one 0_o.

[amietron]

yeah, i think i probably would. maybe not at this age, but in my later life if i'm still single. younger guys aren't totally outruled, though. =)

[babysakura]

younger guys? i tried that once, but found him totally too immature for me. and there's no sense of security whatsoever in the whole thing. i actually found myself feeling that i'm babysitting. <_<

[unordinary.girl]

I definitely don't find any attraction goin on between me and younger guys, hahaha :P

I think I go along with all the other ladies in sayin it has to deal with the whole maturity factor. And I mean c'mon, some guys the same age as you are still even a little bit too immature, so dating younger guys is not exactly an option :lol:

Good luck Alan. Some girls will go out with a younger guy, especially if the girl is mature and the guy is also mature. I know guys that have gone out with older girls before.

Thanks Craig. Seen her twice in two days (she's the roommate of the 23 year-old i posted about (http://forums.yellowworld.org/index.php?act=ST&f=38&t=3299&st=0)) and she's been giving me some sorta signals. Even after I told her I was a second year. I think.

[Fireblade]

Well Kwalan, just go for it. Don't let age intimidate you. At least it shouldn't. I've went on dates with a couple of older woman before. Unfortantly, they believe I'm a little older, then freak out when I tell them I'm actually quite younger. Yea.... being young sucks. Age isn't anything but a number. Unless you got wrinkles and stuff.

(shrugs)

I personally would date girls about 3 years younger than me, and 6 years older. But I'm just wicked cool like that. lol

:dance:

[deez nuts]

19 and 20 it's really not a huge gap. I don't even consider it a gap.

Just pimp yourself right and she'll melt like butter on cornbread for you. Good luck.

[LeahLe]

My preference is to date someone at least 3 years older than I am.
I believe it's more acceptable for a younger gal to date an older guy and not vice versa.
I mean, women age at a higher rate than men down the road in life. So the appearance gap between the two will get wider and wider along the way. Besides of the physical factor, there's also the mental factor. Even if both are of the same age, mentally, women are more mature than men. ( I find that guys my age are childish and just plain right silly) . Then again, it's really difficult to say. Age is just a number and that shouldn't be used as a cut off to select a special someone.

:dance: Love is blind :dance: So just let destiny take its course :dance:

[lethal]

Age is just a number...maturity level is the important factor. Age is one of the influences in maturity though.

[LeahLe]

Yesh, I agree with you Jet Li....but then again. There is always an exception to every rule. Age does influence maturity level and such in an individual. However, there are guys out there whose mental age is much lower than their ideal age.

the same could be said for girls... or, maybe i just find older girls who no longer ride the emotional roller coaster daily to be incredibly sex-ay. ;)

//update

She has a boyfriend.

Over two years.

oof... mildest form of rejection and it ever so mildly stings, but I surely admit that it's a lot better knowing now than going on not knowing and building up further.

*cracks knuckles*

back to being on the prowl :ph34r:

Hey Kwalan. Don't fret. My motto? Girlfriends are an obstacle easily overcome. Boyfriends, in your case. :lol:




Oh shut it, I'm no homewrecker.

no ring you're allowed to fling? :ph34r:

[artsfartsyjanet]

Hmm... I think this topic has already been discussed. If not, rant away on the subject. If it is, I'll have to merge this forum (only if I know how to do that)....

[artsfartsyjanet]

Maybe I'm experiencing deja-vous but I don't see any past start-up posts that relate to this topic. So please continue the discussion. :dance:

Just 'cuz you've already ordered doesn't mean you can't still look at the menu....







S'ok to window shop, just don't leave no fingerprints on the glass!!!

Sorry to sound like a naive fool, but isn't that the point of being committed to *one* person. If you're still thinking about getting with someone else, doesn't that kind of dilute the significance of being committed?

Ideally, I'd like to think that love/romance is not as superficial or transient as ordering food off a menu. There's no one being hurt if you order another entree (except for the poor animal who becomes the meal :huh: )

Some people enjoy shopping around at all times, and that's ok ... I guess, but it just seems kind of unfair to the other person who may not be shopping around at all. Maybe as long as both people know they're keeping their options open ... but then the two people kind of become friends with "benefits".

Flame away! :blink:

heh janet, i looked thru all the threads for this topic to no avail.

i've met some younger girls lately. well, okay, just college freshman and whooooo are they cute.

...til they open their mouth. <_<

//still on zee prowl

//thinking about one girl i saw at the skateboard club meeting who might be the one that told my friend that she thinks i'm cute. blah.

[mydnyht]

Well, since I'm so young, most parents don't want their kids dating at my age... so I think it's definitley out of the question for me to date someone younger. I could probably pull off someone one year younger, but that's it.. as I get older, tho, it makes less and less of a difference. It would depend on the person... just as I would consider dating someone up to 7 years my elder if I was old enuf (my parents are 7 years apart), I could deal with dating someone 7 years younger.

[princess]

i have too much pride to go out with someone younger than me. in high school, the differences stand out a lot more. maybe when im a lil older, id be more willing. right now, tho, def not.

[applehead]

Before i used to exclusively date younger guys.
they were mostly eye candy, i didn't like when they talked.
aaahahaha

but really, now, i would never EVER.
when i'm older, age wouldn't really matter.

[mrazntre]

i want to date an older woman.


any women older than me in here?

[iris]

I'm ok with dating younger. Sometimes they're more fun. My last boyfriend was a year younger than me.

[ism]

My girlfriend is 4 years older. She is more stable than the younger girls I used to date. She knows what she wants, which fits where I am in my life (I'm 25). It hasn't caused any problems, and the issue doesn't come up all that often. Most noticably it comes up when relating our childhood (e.g., "I remember that band in college" compared to "I remember that band in high school") but it's simply the opposite case I was already used to. It's a particular case in which our wants and needs work out with the disparity in ages, so obviously I am not speaking for all younger guy relationships. I know in this case it is working.

[artsfartsyjanet]

a year and a half younger and no more than 5 years older than me. that's where i draw the line.
