I dunno, it may explain my current situation (also I'm five years older), but if they truly do prefer assholes, I shoulda been getting more ass than a toilet seat in my 20's. Not that I did badly, but still.

Chicks dig dudes that don't whine. (about shit like this)

Exactly.

The rest of us just look for someone who's kind, fun, smart, can hold a conversation, can chew with their mouth closed, doesn't abuse them, can read a book, etc etc.

Basics of humanity in general.

I can see the validity in this statement. My husband is 6 days older than me, so I don't think that necessarily qualifies. When I was younger, I think I liked the idea of being with an older man (I'm talking 15+ years older) because I thought they might be able to teach me something, but I never actually dated anyone remarkably older than me. I don't think I'm at the age where I'd consider a younger man either (oh, and then I'm married so that kinda throws a wrench into things too, ha). I've had many girlfriends go that route, and while the sex may be good, the conversation/intellect/seriousness sometimes is not. I think most ladies would like to date someone their own age, but it does vary.

edit: something else I just thought of.... a lot of women my age (mid-30s) do have a tough time finding guys their own age because at this point in our lives, many people have already been married and divorced. A lot of men and women still carry emotional baggage around due to that, so sometimes it's hard to find someone your own age that's willing to be... I dunno... normal. That might explain the younger man phenomenon... get someone who's untainted!

I disagree. Girls say they want those things, but rarely do. One of my best friends is all that and not bad looking. He can't find a girl for anything.

I find they want those things once they're 30 and a single mother. 30 yr olds with kids flock to my friend like white on rice.

My bro seems to be the same way. :)

Apparently both my grandfathers were as well (on each side of my family my grandmas were at least 6 years older than their hubbys).

<--- Never ever even thought once about $$$ as related to a potential guy to date. I guess some girls out there do but the concept is so entirey foreign to me.

Me:

I've dated guys older than me and younger than me. It really just depends on the guy. I think it depends on your personality. Either way, no matter what age (with both friends and lovas) I tend to like to feel as if we're on equal ground.

I guess my 3/4 of my "real" relationships were with guys who were within 1 year of my age. With the guy who was older (I was 26, he was 30) it just felt like he was in too much of a rush to get married, get me making babies and buy expensive kitchen appliances... Yikes!!! It scared the shit out of me.

That said, I think it's cute that my man is a year younger than me. I like to imagine that I'm robbing the craddle, corrupting him, etc. :wink:

Of course it varies, but I still voted for the first choice because it says "Most women seem to prefer older men".

the last older i dated was 29, and i was 24. he was just as immature as the rest. i don't care about dating older men. i'm not ready to commit at all, so i usually don't date older guys... i usually stay within the 1-2 yr. range of my age.

That's totally off base.

You must know the most shallow chicks on the earth then.

I mean yeah if you want to date some young girl who cares more about her lip gloss and what shot she's going to do that night, but not if they have half a brain.

I'm also glad to see that Ms. Fixation admits that women do not hold the monopoly on maturity.

First of all, how old are you? Once we determine your age, I'll give you an experienced answer.


20. Which explains why I haven't been in a steady relationship for a couple years now.

I'm not desperate enough to sink to dating 15 year olds. Even if my friends are.

Perhaps women pursue older men because it makes them feel more mature themselves.

Almost every girl wants mystery and romance. What they fail to realize is that any guy being mysterious is hiding something. Generally the fact that they're an asshole.

Just to fuel the fire, I just stumpled across this blurb at Instapundit.

IN THE MAIL: A copy of Norah Vincent's Self-Made Man: One Woman's Journey into Manhood and Back. It's basically a Male Like Me book -- she disguised herself (rather convincingly) as a man named "Ned," lived that way for several months, and writes about what she learned. I opened the book at random to this passage from the section on dating:

Bisexuals know that hurt gets inflicted by both sexes in equal measure if not always by the same means. But for these women -- who had never dated other women, and thus never been romantically hurt by them -- men as a subspecies, not the particular men with whom they had been involved, were to blame for the wreck of a relationship and the psychic damage it had done to them.

It's hardly surprising, then, that in this atmosphere, as a single man dating women, I often felt attacked, judged, onthe defensive. Whereas with the men I met and befriended as Ned there was a a presumption of innocence -- that is, you're a good guy until you prove otherwise -- with women there was quite often a presumption of guilt: you're a cad like every other guy until you prove otherwise.

"Pass my test and then we'll see if you're worthy of me" was the implicit message coming across the table at me. And this from women who had demonstrably little to offer. "Be lighthearted," they said, though buoyant as lead zeppelins themselves. "Be kind," they insisted in the harshest of tones. "Don't be like the others," they implied, while having virtually condemned me as such before hand.


It was enough to make me want to read the whole thing (and to be glad I'm not single!), and I did, at one sitting, last night. I think the book's terrific, and it's going to make a huge splash. Helen's now grabbed it, and she agrees so far. We're going to try to get Vincent on for a podcast interview next week.

Do the women of the board consult their guy friends when they want to date some dude? It's very easy for me to identify an asshole, but some of my lady friends seem to pick the weirdos and the crazy fucks and I eventually have to open their eyes for them. It's like they get so carried away with simply having a boyfriend that they don't analyze the person further until it's too late.

I mean, my one friend dated this jerk for a while and I knew from the day I met him that he was going to be trouble. To cut a long story short, he eventually abused her and smashed her apartment to pieces. She never asked me to comment on him while they were dating so it wasn't any of my business, but once they broke up, I went through what I thought of him and it finally made sense to her that his personality was bad news from the start.

They don't have to be the crazy party animals either - this guy was shy and quiet like me, but I was able to see the nasty, unstable person below the surface.

For the most part, I agree. When a woman is with a younger man, it's rare. Of all the girls I have dated, only one was older than me.

I've tended to attract both the much older and much younger ladies in somewhat equal amounts. But rarely women my own age. curious.

it's the rule in my book. if you can't get along with my friends (most of them are guys), then i can't date you... most of my guy friends are super over-protective of me. not that i care what they think, but their input is greatly appreciated.

the last guy i dated was a super nice guy and all my friends adored him until recently and ended up being even worse then all the other dumbfucks i've dated... but that's a whole other story i don't want to get into. in general, yes, i tend to go for the assholes... not necessarily because i fear commitment (which i do in some ways) but because most of the nice guys are intimidated by me or get jealous way too easily and i can't handle people like that.

Until they find out there ex who never really acted like they liked them suddenly spills his guts when he founds out she's with someone else. Someone crazy for her from the get go. Then that person who was crazy about her from day 1 is dumped.
