older woman - younger guy

I dated a girl 3 years older than me. There were times when she didn't respect me as a man, even if she wanted to.

There is no problem with this unless you are talking 20 and 15 years old.

Once you have both fully matured mentally it doesn't make a difference the age.

meaning she would look down on you? I can imagine that happens yeah.

We're talking 30 and 25.

It feels a bit like talking about height. Yeah, the guy is "supposed to be" taller and older but muh. So far that never worked out well either.

Relationships involving midlife crisis is a trap. Stay away.

Not OP but related.
Only seem to be interested in girls a few years older than me.
>20 vs. 23ish
Usually they already have a bf they are happy with (for the moment).
I find them easier to talk to usually.

>how do get into girls my age?

When I was 20 I decided that it was a terrible idea to date anyone who hadn't been on her own taking care of herself for at least two years. For my dating pool that pretty much meant no one younger than 24.

Most of the women weren't really ready for anything long term, and for my part, I was seriously hung up on the older sister of one of my friends, and she was seven (I think? now that I'm thinking about it, I don't actually remember) years older than me. We had an on-and-off type thing that ultimately didn't work out, but kind of kept me from really trying to make a go of something with someone else. That it didn't work had nothing to do with the age difference.

That I kept trying is because I was young and foolish.

Since then almost everyone I've dated has been younger, but that hasn't been a conscious thing. A couple years more or less doesn't really matter much.

An older woman will never respect you.

If things are great between you and you get good vibes why do you feel insecure about it?
Insecurity will kill your relationship much faster than any age gap.

I'm 22 and my ex girlfriend was 25.

It taught me real quick that age and maturity are mutually exclusive.

I just started dating a 30 year old woman (im 23)

I'm 20 and i dated this 35 yo girls at first all went great but after 6 months or so the relation gone creepy (it was basically my mom + sex) si i ran away from her house

Im 23, girlfriends 25. Not that big of a difference in terms of maturity.

We've been going for a good 8 months now without any issues regarding age.

She's fucked 8 guys and ive only fucked her but I couldn't care less, some that might bother though.

As long as you're compatible and on the same level of maturity why the fuck not?

That's what I'm scared of yeah.

>we're in similar professional life stages and get along great
