I have an attraction to older men. Like today, I went to my uncles party and met one of his friends... An older guy who turned out to be really cool and easy to talk to. We had a lot in common, music wise and I just found myself really attracted to him...
But this is common for me, I usualy tend to go after older men. Men who are much much older than me. I'm only 19 and this guy had a 16 year old son already, So i'm guessing he was maybe around 40...
I'm not talking like old wrinkled men either.. so dont think im crazy. lol
Anyway, is this normal & what could be the reason behind it?? cause 20 year old guys just don't do it for me.
Additional info, added Sunday June 10 2007, 2:44 am: ohhh and by the way, my fathers always been in my life, even till this day.. so i dont think it could be that "seeking a father figure" stuff..

Guys at your age can be extremely immature. You are probably mature yourself and you just want a guy that has the same mental capacity as you. That's probably all it is.
It could also be the fact that the older men have more experience in life and you feel like they could show you a better time and treat you nicely. I don't just mean sexually, mind you.
I know a married couple that has a pretty big age difference and they couldn't be happier together.

if a man trys to talk 2 you just say a couple of sentences not that much that you will like
start liking him [ mszconcided's advice column | Ask mszconcided A Question ]

If you've been in past relationships with people your own age and found them to be jerks it may have just put you off and instead prefer guys who are a lot older therefore a lot more stable/mature.

xomegaroni answered Sunday June 10 2007, 9:49 am: Maturity. For your type of guys, the older guys are more mature than the younger ones. Unfortunately, most but not all guys, won't mature until their late 20's. Therefore, you probably want a guy who's more mature & has been through more things in life. A 40 year old, especially with kids, will be more mature & went through more life experiences than someone who's only 20 or so. Also, they probably have more experience with relationships. A lot of girls are in this situation. You shouldn't really go by that though. All guys are different. A lot of girls feel that an older guy will treat them better & give them a better life. Basically will take care of them better & won't be too interested in finding another girl since they've done that when they were younger. They're most likely past that whole partying stage. Nothing is wrong with you though. Your situation is actually normal.
