Hi, I'm 26 years old, and I've been single for 5 years now and found that I'm ready to date again, but I realized that I've lost patience with the maturity of guys who are my age and I find older men (around 40) more attractive and more appealing to me (regardless of their physical appearance) that men my age. I thought about it and maybe it has to do with growing up without my father. Is this normal?

Help if you can.

If you like older men then go for it.

jboud20...

Pianoguy thought about your post a little and thinks there are 2 answers to your question:

1. You might have missed the benefits of having a 'father-figure' in your life...and you're looking to a MORE MATURE MALE (PG hates the word: OLDER) as a substitute?

2. Your educational background and value system might be more comfortable (and 'relate' a little better) towards a gentleman whose birth certificate is considerably "earlier" than yours?

Many men would probably be flattered by your attention, love and desire to share a life? But never lose sight of the fact that ANY man...who is "conditioned by habit" or used to a certain type of lifestyle...isn't automatically going to change because you've suddenly become 'part of the picture!'

Lots of women like older men, so no, you're not strange. However I wonder why it's taken 5 years for you to be ready to date again.
