Granted, I would be more reluctant to start a serious relationship with a 19-year-old (7 years younger) then a 33-year-old (7 years older). It's not just the number of years or even the ratio so much as it's a stage of life thing. I've both finished my bachelor's and worked in the professional world for several years, I'm planning for grad school and I'm reasonably sure where my life is going, I'm completely independent of my parents, and I'd like to start thinking about starting a family of my own. Given all that, I would prefer to date someone who is also either done with or in the later stages of her education, had a clear sense of what she was going to do with her life, lived on her own, and was ready to start thinking about marriage and family. This doesn't describe all that many 19-year-olds. Simply put, I'd be much more likely to find someone who shares my goals for the relationship with the older woman then I would be with the younger woman.

Emaline's age=x
His age=x+7
Other woman's age also=x+7

I think you made a typo. I think I understand that you meant to say 7 years older than him. Otherwise you just blew my mind.

Haha, yeah. Man I was totally confused there for a second, but you are right.

i hear this all the time and there probably is some truth to it, but it still bugs me cos i have met a lot of guys who only date younger girls and like to say this because that way they can justify their creepy relationships with their girlfriends who are drastically younger than them (not creepy specifically because of the age difference, but creepy because they actually were just creepy couples). i'm pretty hypocritical anyway in that everyone i've ever been involved with has been a few years older than me, but still, something about hearing guys say this gives me a bit of a bad vibe.
basically what i am trying to say in this lame post is that i wish there were more guys who are cool with dating older ladies.

Ozymandias:
I am so completely down with dating older ladies.

Not really older men, though.

I can't explain that one.

Reed:
I am too. I really don't understand why some people get weirded out by it. Especially once you're in your twenties and the maturity issue shouldn't matter as much.
