I could NOT agree more! I was just pondering this today as I was lost and a little down wondering why I have enjoyed meeting and interacting with 20-25 year old women more so than others. I was feeling guilty and then decided to look around on the Net for forum talk on this subject.

I have some ideas from my own perspective as a male. I'm not really trying to blow smoke, but I am a male in my early 30s and have tried to "connect" to women aged 19-32, but seem to have the most luck with the 21-24 range.

1 - Perception: Well I am older but look younger. Everyone I run into and who approaches me, thinks I'm 25.

2 - Neverland - I'm still in a Peter Pan stage, which means though I filter experience into distilled wisdom, I still have remained beholden to certain facets of my early and mid 20s in the 1990s; clothes, "look", shows, music (Sliders, Nirvana, etc..)

3 - Life for life or Life for practicality:
Men can be practical, but they don't want their women to be that way... women over 28 or so seem to be "shopping" for mates. They are looking for upward mobility, nice bank accounts and security and men notice this. Men as much as women, do not like to be objectified and find less stress when they turn their affections to younger less and less "status" demanding women.

Women under 30 enjoy singular moments more and enjoy their men for who they are inside (and out). They don't ignore personal recklessness, but they also allow you to feel proud of who you are and not for how much power, influence or security you can offer. Live life with us as a joy partner and not as a business partner.

I hope that women over 30 will think about how they approach men and hopefully it's not all to objectify his "station" in life. I for one don't think I owe it to anyone to break above $40k a year, though I will soon. I am lucky and many are not. I want to feel that my income matters not.

Sorry to ramble ;)
