	well woman supposedly mature faster. Woman have a limited time to procreate men can pretty much have kids whenever so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a man to be dating a woman that's significantly older because she's going to be wanting to have kids at a time when he's probably years from thinking the same thing.

I don't think a 40-year old woman dating a 30-year old man would be thinking about wanting to have a baby. You're assumption operates on two things 1) women are hardwired with the need to bear a child 2) dating is good for specific age range.

	Dating an older man also gives a woman a little more information about him before she makes a commitment. You know a little bit more about how successful he'll be and what kind of man he's going to turn into.

I so like how you present the cost benefit analysis in dating.

	There have also been studies that show men have lower life expectancies when they date women who are older than them. There is no correlation when it's the other way around.

You know you really have to give a citation to back that up, Willy Wonka.

God damn. I'm interested in someone ten years my elder, but apparently I'll end up with kids against my will and die sooner. And it all seemed to be going so nice and spontaneously.

Well, speaking for myself, I've always wanted an older guy.. even when I was a young girl. I think I matured a lot faster than most of my peers. As a result of that, I was never really interested in people around my age. I just don't think that they can give me what I want. I'm not talking about material things either. I just want someone that can see me eye to eye. I haven't really been in a relationship (I'm 20 now :[), and I seriously think that it's because I haven't had the opportunity to meet older people. Unless... it's actually just something wrong with me. Who knows... haha.

I dated a girl 4 years older than me for 5 years. I'd do it again. Also, once you get above 30 or so, it becomes irrelevant in the looks department. Some women who haven't taken care of themselves tend to look much older past this age or vice versa.

I think it's because young men are not attracted to older women, but I can't say why women dated older men.

Not true. Some young men are attracted to older women. Women tend to date older men for financial and stability reasons.

It's really annoying. It means I'll have to wait several years before I can date mature girls.
