One for the Ages

An amazing example of "Older and younger"..

Ive recently come to the realization that not everyone tends to date in their immediate age group. This started me thinking "Does age matter when it comes to dating?" Now, I'm not asking about people who end up living happily ever after and also have a 30 year age difference. I was thinking more on the lines of dating around as a single person and realizing what age groups you averagely tend to get along with more.

I have a close friend, a 20 year old, who enjoys dating men in than their late 20's and for sure, men in their 30's. He explained to me that it comes down to a culture and interest aspect. He says that men (or boys) who are in the same age range as he is tend to be more naive, immature and less interested in things like films, music or art. But are more interested in parties, reality TV and caring more about how they look rather than who they are. I would say that I can agree with my friend on this a lot. However, he is only 20, and Ive explained to him that who I was at 20 is not at all who I am at 25. In his defense, he is a pretty mature 20 year old with exceptional interests and a fairly open look on life (a rarity).

So why then are the men who I tend to date, that are slightly younger than me, seem to come off so detached? But the men that I date that are a bit older than me haven't grown up at all yet, or forget what its like to have a little fun? Ive recently started going out and about with younger men and have realized that alot of them remind me so much of myself when I was their age (which is something I never thought I would say). Its slightly endearing but mostly uncomfortable. The eagerness and the jovial sense of "forever" in all aspects of life and dating. Forgive me if this sounds a tad pessimistic, but Ive noticed that the hopeful ideals most young people have tend to dissipate over time. At 24 (soon to be 25) I have slowly learned that life does have endless possibilities and tons of fun moments ahead, but I look at it in a different way more than I did at 20 or 21. I look ahead at renting a house on the beach with friends, or getting together for big social dinners and chatting about life and what has happened to all of us present over the years. Whereas, at 20, I wanted to move to a big city, start finding "fabulous" parties to go to and know what its like to black-out.

Now, needless to say, I have a lot of growing still left to do. I have been heart-broken, Ive moved around plenty of times and still struggle with a lot of the same problems I had at 20. So I suppose age isn't so much an influence for me, so much as exposure and experience are. To any younger men, or women, reading this, understand that life is so much more than the frivolity of it all, and try to see people for who they are and hope you still have them around at 25 or 30. And to all of the people who may be dating outside their age circle, think about why you do so, and hopefully when you get your answer it will be one of progression and not one of trying to be someone that you're not, for the sake of having someone at all.
