oh man.. I had a string of 19 year olds once, it was awful. Now I just look but don't touch - because it's bitter candy. Older men are better in all aspects.

Bah i have this thing about dating younger people. I don't do it. never have and probably never will. but i dated two 18 year olds and a 19 year old when i was 17 and they were the sweetest ever. I do agree though Older men are better.

Perhaps for you.

I'm a dirty old man in the body of an almost twenty-seven-year-old (July 22nd).

I like my men like I like my chicken: Young, tender, and fat free.

they always have too much emotional baggage. the older ones know how to play the game.

I have to disagree.

The fact that an older guy is more likely to have been in more relationships suggests that he's going to be the more with "more baggage", just based on statistical likeliness. Now, does an older guy know how to deal with that baggage better, and be a more productive person despite it? Also far more likely.

On the other hand, younger guys are *less* likely to have been in lots of relationships, and thus statistically have less baggage. Sure, a broken heart at sixteen is more likely to be more important to a nineteen year old guy than a thirty year old one, but mainly because the thirty year old has had copious amounts of time to get over it and realise that the other sixteen-year-old (at the time), wasn't all that great to begin with, and probably wasn't all that terrible, either.

Of course, I also have dominance issues. I like younger guys because of the fact that they have statistically less to compare me to, and are statistically more likely to need me to show them what to do and how to act in the relationship. I don't need some old guy, especially not one older than I am, thinking he knows me better than I know myself -- been there, done that, wound up setting myself back a few years because of it. And most guys (especially gay and bi- guys) about my own age (24-29-ish) are still in that post-teenager/"I'm going to act like I know everything, even though I'm still just a scared little mutant" stage, which is ten times more arrogant than some patronising old guy trying to tell me who I am.

Now, I have the benefit of always being mis-guessed on age, and being in that "ambiguous twenty-something" stage, but am also self-aware enough (probably due to my own unique background story) to know well enough _not_ to be the patronizing old guy in the relationship.

Trust me, I've been twenty-two and dating guys in their early forties, twenty and dating a thirty-year-old, twenty-three and dating a seventeen-year-old. My experience is vast and varied. I prefer the young'uns.

But hey, different strokes for different folks. Some people need the stability of the older men, while others are too stable and need a younger guy to keep things interesting.
