I agree with you. I benefit a bit from looking younger than I am - people tend to figure me for late 20s or so. I benefit also from genetics (I have all of my hair, and more), my macho good looks (of course), as well as never drinking or smoking in my life (though I enjoy a good cigar maybe 12-15x a year these days). I was never a big boozer, partier, etc, and that does make a difference in looks to an extent.
Also when it comes to women, in the age group that I like and even more so with older ones, a lot of the seduction game has to do with having a very good rap and distuinguishing yourself from other males out there. I do both easily, so having a lady companion has never been a problem for me in my adult life.
I date a woman in her early 30s who is very goodlooking: she is a musician and shuttles a lot between LA and NYC. We speak daily and see each other for a long weekend every 3 to 4 weeks. That suits me just fine. I agree that I naturally feel more comfortable with her (a 5 year spread in ages) than I would with a girl who was 23 or 24. But its negligible - if a woman is mature and has her act together, it tends to not matter to me very much that I'm older.
I don't date women close to my age nor older, sorry. ;-)
Do you really think it's your looks? Come on now!

We all know what the girls really want.

I've long since known that looks have nothing to do with attracting women. I'm as far from good looking as a man can possibly be. I'm short (5'1"), I'm dark, I'm bald (shave the rest), I'm tattooed, both of my ears are pierced, I'm scarred, and built like a tank. I've still never lacked for a date. I have good money that says you could lose your hair, your physique, and your youth, and still be attractive to women.

That's part of the reason you're more comfortable with younger women. Your ideal relationship with a woman is more playtime than it is familial. Huge chasm between semi-committed and married with kids. You have to have lived in both places to fully understand it.

Don't apologize to me, I really don't care. The love of my life happened to be almost 4 years older than I am. I can't imagine being with anyone else.
