I'm married to a guy 15 years older than I am. Always liked older men (and older women, for that matter).
When I was in my mid-20s people my own age seemed sort of... unformed. It seemed like people in their 30s and 40s were just more complex and interesting. Not to mention 50s. I had some major professor crushes going on. There was this music professor/conductor who looked like Leonard Bernstein, I was 21 and thought he was utterly magnetic. Nothing happened, I just worshipped from afar, although he did come up to me and praise my enthusiasm, saying it was a pleasure to look into the chorus and see a singer with this great warm smile... You should've seen my smile THEN, heh...
What was the question again?
Oh yeah. Now that I'm pushing 40, people my own age seem to have grown up (funny that!). I'm happily married, but if I were out there dating, I'd probably still be drawn to older people but I'd be more receptive to my own age group than I used to be.
