younger guys

Former Member

Just out of curiosity, how many of you girls would go out with a younger guy?
The general trend seems to be that girls my age (18) all go for guys of at least 20 minimum. I know the whole older, more mature/experienced guy thing is appealing, but how are we guys meant to get a girl? are we forever destined to prey on younger specimens because all the ones are own age are with older guys??
Does this guy have a chance with someone his own age, or ever (shock horror!) someone a year older?!?!

Lol yeh this is summin that gets me. Especially with the girls in my year, the popular, fit girls all have older boyfriends.

But i suppose then all the younger girls 16+, wud wanna go out with u But like us all we want girls our own age!!! or maybe older.

i generally hang out with older girls, and i find most girls i know of my age (16/17) too naive and immature. so recently the youngest girl ive been with is 19, and oldest 34

Former Member

I find I wouldn't go out with a guy the same age as me; never mind someone younger cause the ones I do know always seem too immature. Not saying all guys younger than me are immature. Just seems to be the ones I know.

Former Member

I'm 18, nearly 19 and fancy my 16 year old guy mate....

I wouldn't go for anything younger than legal age lol.

i agree with you about most guys of my age being immature

mr. k is younger than me. only 8 months, but he was in the school year down from me. can't say it bothers me at all.

i think a lot of the reason why younger girls go for older guys is because they have something to prove to their mates, or cause they think it's cool. you get to a certain age and it doesn't matter anymore.

then, you get even older, and having a toyboy is something of a status symbol

Former Member

i wouldn't go out with a younger guy. :no: - but that's just me.

Former Member

I'd go out with a younger guy, but not too muh younger. I mean as i get older i think te gap couldbe bigger but right now im 19 nearly 20, and wouldnt go younger than 18. I think it depends on them not their age!

Former Member

why wouldnt you go out with a younger guy? (just out of curiosity?)

i honestly, don't know???!! - i just know i couldn't.
(that probably sounds really strange :chin: )

having said that though, it should depend more so on the person than their age... and i do believe that... but i still wouldn't go out with a younger guy, personally.

... and i know none of that makes any sense... but like i said before, that's just me.

older men can make you feel better about yourself (as was the case when i was in secondary school). But to be honest i think a lot of men my own age (18) are very very immature, you only have to listen to their converstaion. But i suppose it is a catch 22, they try to act cool around their mates and it results in them acting like knobs (even if they are mature underneath), which in turn can turn off women who might want someone slightly more mature.

That said though, around the time i met Zard, who is 3 years older, he was wearing trousers, cut off shorts over the top that had been ripped and then safety pinned back together, a red mohawk (sp?) and probably as many piercing as you can imagine. Didn't stop me falling for him tho , so maybe my advice is contradictory?? lol :crazyeyes

Former Member

yep :yes: me ex is nearly 3 years younger than me so.....

Former Member

I'm 23, girlfriend is 31 and in the States....nuff said!

Former Member

I have been out with younger guys by like a year or something.

My bf is 23, im 22 and I think older guys are much more mature. I couldn't go out with a 19 year-old guy. I just find I can't really relate to them. Im not saying all 19 year-old guys are immature or non-relatable, but having gone out with a ninteen year old guy when I was 21 and the experiences I had, I dont think I could do it again.

Former Member

At this moment in time I wouldn't go out with a guy younger than me because they tend to be far too immature.

When I'm older it'll probably be less of an issue though.

Former Member

My friend who is 21 goes out with a guy thats 2 years younger than her. They're a cute couple.

I've fancied guys younger than myself and |I would consider going out with a guy a year or 2 younger than me, but like people have said - it depends on the person.

I've also been out with a guy 7 years older than myself and I find that they're much more mature but I dont think I'd do it again.

Former Member

Yes, I'd go out with someone younger. 90% of the blokes I know haven't changed one bit since they were 15 anyway... except for being able to sprout a few extra hairs on their chin!

Former Member

I'm 23 and my boyfriend is 20. It's not an issue really - well not in terms of his levels of maturity. It sucks that he still lives at home though...also I worry that he may want to go off to university at some point and leave me behind But as for how we get on despite being difference in age, it's not a problem at all.

Former Member

I wouldn't well not unless it was by a few months. Considering i'm 18/19 the lads younger than me are going to be 16/17 and judging the maturness levels of them it would definatley be a big no no. Also going out with some one under 18 would be a problem due to socialising in pubs and stuff.

Former Member

Well obviously my girlfriend would go out with a younger guy, since I'm like 9 months younger than her.

Former Member

Dated a few guys that were younger than me and found it to be very difficult.
Granted the last time I was 20 (bit of a while back) and maybe just an unusually bad experience (he was 18) but I felt like I was more his mother, had to pick him up and drop him off, pay for us to go everywhere, listen to him complain about school etc. What a pain in the butt! It didn't last very long.

But usually find that older men are better for me as I can be a bit of a brat and want to be looked after and kept in line

Former Member

If I wasnt already attached (to an older man) then yes, I wouldnt see the problem in dating someone younger. I mean, whats the difference between a 28 year old and a 22 year old? Not much.

Former Member

I used to have a thing for younger men (up to 3-4 years younger than me). I find that it help me feel younger........

Former Member

My bloke is just over a year younger than me. It doesn't really bother me

Former Member

I don't know really...when I met my bloke I didn't go for him *because* he was 3 years older, that's just the was it was. Having said that, the first guy I snogged was the same age as me (18 at the time) and seemed pretty immature, however the reason that it was extremely short-lived was more down to the fact that we had nothing in common, there was no attraction there and he turned out to be a bit of a right wing Tory dick! When it comes down to it, it all varies from person to person anyway, so age shouldn't be a huge factor. (But being 22, I can't really see myself with a 16/17 year old...)

Former Member

what does age matter my bf is 3 yrs older than me n we have been together for over a year and are very much in love you cant judge someone by there age!!!

Former Member

Personally I go out with guys older than me now, mainly because I seem to be surrounded either by older guys or younger ones and th younger ones really are too immature.

But my first serious b/f was the same age as me, and my ex fiance was a year younger than me, so it just depends on the guy really rather than age.
