  1. Have dated both younger and older women before settling down with someone younger than me.

    At the end of the day, its the meeting of minds that matters more than the age. The problem does crop up at the “settling down” time

  2. @krist0ph3r: I hear you! The college to worklife jump seems to be a critical one in transitioning to being an adult. The conversation and the person themselves are so important even to attraction, that I guess some level of shared ground is important.

  3. interesting! i’ve dated (for a few months) someone who’s 3 years younger than me, and then someone who’s 5 years younger than me…and somehow, the 5-years-younger one was a much better match!

    i think it’s a mix of everything, yourself and the other person, but one thing i’ve noticed i can’t stand is someone who’s still in college and has never worked. it involves a lot of factors (maturity, responsibility, experience of commitment and sacrifice in non-relationship matters, etc etc), but i’ve found that one thing to be the simplest rule-of-thumb…but then again, a few years from now i’ll be too old to worry about women (can i even call them that?!) in college, and i’ll probably have to start thinking once again 😀

  4. Does this mean that, in the future you would prefer a younger man??
    Or is it just the fact that you were more assured and confident???
    Hmm….. . may be a bit of both???

    1. @Rakhi: It’s a soul-cleansing experience, not to mention a fun one! 😉

      @rambler: I didn’t make that happen on purpose, it’s a plug-in as Gautam explains. But I guess it is interesting that I haven’t written much that gets picked up as related to this topic. Probably because I’m not taking a moral high ground against men this time?

      @anand: A bit of both perhaps but I’m not making any firm declarations for the future. :mrgreen:

  5. This is such a coincidence!!! I have dated a guy 4 and half yrs younger to me too, and for a pretty long time. We have decided to part ways for the time being but there was something really special there…I had a great time and it was mutual. Glad to know that you walked the same path too… Rules be damned. 😛
