I'm 33 and have peeked into dating older by 10 years and the men in their 40s are still absolutely awful. They never seem to outgrow this 21 year old mindset.

My coworker is 24 and honestly, the stuff Lucy Hale says here is her take too. She only dates men in their 40s and 50s. I asked her why one time and she said it was because younger men acted like babies and she didn't wanna coddle them. Says older men are mature and treat her better. I just find it so hard to believe idk.

They treat her better until they trap her with a marriage or child and remain emotionally stunted.

I forgot too - she has mentioned she can tell it's a fetish thing as well, but as long as it isn't too creepy she goes along with it. She's Nigerian and 6'0".

But seriously. An ex-friend of mine is 25, going 26 in March I think and her husband is 37 and they have a 3 year old. She got pregnant at 21-22 and they had a shotgun wedding. Now she's miserable af.

How old was she when they met because a 30 year old with a teenager is nagl.

I've dated guys from 10 years younger to 20 years older and lemme tell ya.. they're all the same LMAO

I guess…
I have been disappointed by older men as of late. They all need therapy.
Especially the newly divorced ones that just hit the streets.

I used to have a lot of guy friends..and they would tell me I was like a cool guy with boobs and long hair..they told me EVERYTHING. now I wish they hadn't..so many men would benefit from therapy..I can see red flags very quickly now that I'm older. so many just jump from relationship to relationship without dealing with their own emotions, and they cause others to need therapy, because they aren't working on themselves first.

Word. SMDH

Edited to add:
Men r dumb

[ari_angelique]

LOL

um...a man dating someone young enough to be his daughter is way worse than playing games. Its creepy af. I don't think she is as bright as she thinks she is.

[lulufairybubble]

She is either lying or stupid. For about 5 years I have only exclusively been involved with men who are at least 50. They play games.

If you're gonna date older men:

1.) Don't date newly divorced
2.) Don't date men with young children.
3.) Don't date one that doesn't have money.

can you tell us something about a dude you've dated in this age bracket that has made you continue? your advice is solid and i would like to subscribe to your newsletter

[lulufairybubble]

Sure. They are just more realistic about relationships. Nothing is idealized. There are no delusions. I also find them being set in their ways to be a plus. If you don't fit in their life then they won't try to make you fit or string you along. It's a lot like how I am.

As someone who's chatted or has seen profiles of guys with this kind of baggage, YUP!

Some may be more intentional, but to your point with the comment below, they're set in their ways. They already have their own priorities and may be in different phases in their lives, so it is hard to see how much each person is prioritized in each other's lives.
