Good morning ladies and gentlemen.. Want to start off by saying I hope you had a great sleep and you woke up on the right side of the bed.

Anyways... What are your preferences specifically age when it comes to dating? do you do better with someone older than you or younger?

I personally prefer older.. They are much more patient, grounded and very understanding. Dated younger before but they were emotional and demanding and so dramatic.

I've also had some earth shattering sexual experiences with older women as well, they are absolutely incredible in bed and know what it is to please lol, none of that " what do I do?" What do I do with it" nonsense.

I remember staying at my friends house a couple years back and they left to a family vacation and they let me stay as I was visiting on leave from the army and the friend of my friends mom was staying there as well and was waiting on one of her daughters to arrive at the airport.

After realizing we were going to be alone together for 3 days, I had a feeling something was going to pop off, and it did. We flirted and then I just slowly went in and talked to her in her ear and that's what it took. I came so hard and good I grabbed her hard as I thrusted, it was amazing but anyways, what do you guys prefer?

Either, need a good connection and it can happen with either. For me age is just a number but I've noticed that the emotional, demanding and dramatic stuff is more associated with a personality type that remains that way no matter what age than with something that people grow out of. It took me a long time to realize that.

I've always had more success dating guys a few years older than I. I dated a couple that were my age when I was younger and I didn't care for the ego trip. Men in their 20's I've found were less likely to take instruction well. Same with men in their early 30's. Once I started dating men 35+ the interpersonal aspects of boundaries, sex and what one wants out of a relationship was much simpler.

I usually go a little bit younger but it never works out. The age doesn't matter so much as the attitude, and younger guys (usually) haven't developed the cynicism and/or rigidness of routine that seems to come with age. I provide plenty of those things myself.

I've dated older and younger and I still don't have a preference.

No one exception over health, well being, cynicism, sex, paradigm, fidelity, etc.

I used to have illusions of older having certain stereotypical characteristics and younger holding its stereotypical characteristics. But, experience has taught me, people are people.

If this was a couple of years ago.. I'll definitely say "OLDER"... But Bc I've seen older guys who act young.. & younger guys who act older..

I'll just have to pick a mature being... And when I say mature I'm speaking about my standards of maturity..

But don't feel like going into deets.. Haha
