[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah, older men aren’t a solution.

I dated a lot of older men when I was 19-24 because I thought they’d be more mature. Eventually I realized that a 35 year old man who wants to date a 20 year old is bad news. They’re too pervy, immature, and obnoxious for women their own age so they have to prey on more naive women. Generally men late 20s-30s who are mature and responsible also want mature and responsible partners, and aren’t really into the drama and immaturity that comes with dating a college student.

I know the dudes of DCUM like to brag about banging younger, hotter women (whether they actually do….I doubt it). But every man I’ve known who was marriage material was far more interested in someone who would be a good long term partner and who they had things in common with, rather than someone who was young and had little to offer besides sex.

Just anecdote, but my best friend married a man 14 years older who started grooming her when she was a teenager. Their marriage is an absolute disaster and the guy is a wreck, always drinking and cheating and can barely keep a job down. We’d see a lot more marriages like that if we encouraged younger women to marry older men. [/quote]

Also want to add - the solution to men being too immature for marriage isn’t for women to adjust their behavior. It’s for men to grow the F up. There’s absolutely no excuse for a man to take 40 years to get his s**t together. [/quote]
