Well...if I was 18 I'd probably be dating older men too. I started out with older guys (16/23). My first two long-term boyfriends were 7 years older than me. Then #3 was my same age. The next one was 20 to my 27. And so it goes... The thing is, I'm attracted to the energy and more of a raw edge younger guys have. That doesn't mean I wouldn't consider an older man, because of course it depends on the person. But overall I guess I'd have to say that part of it is, as someone who hasn't chosen to have kids and "settle down," I'm attracted to people who still have some of that youthful energy and lack of encumberments that tend to come with age.
