Many guys are like the previous poster.
They get older and feel like they missed out on those college girls and so on. But after burning their bridges, it becomes quite boring.
Most men love the young college aged girls, but many men will admit it's more for looks, show and prestige then for anything else.
While some younger women are more mature, most are well, acting their age.
They either want to party till dawn or spend 100 hours a day working on their careers and/or education.
Most of us have been there.
The problem becomes when an older man starts dating a younger women because she is young, vibrant and beautiful.
After dating for a little bit, the man usually tires of the womens partying lifestyle or over serious lifestyle. Either way they'll try to change them or give them wordly advice. The women will resent it and on and on.
30 years old and 24, not that big a difference if your on the same wave length.
A 40 year old and a 24 year old, while it can work, in most cases, enjoy the time spent, but don't become too attached.
Many people, myself included at one time, don't want to grow older. SO they surround themselves with younger people and pretend to be 24. It does not work. They have a whole life ahead of them to change, challenge and live.
While you already lived a whole life thats behind you.
Great to go out and have your fun, but bad if you continue to pretend your still 24.
