No, sometimes we are attracted to more mature women because the ones our age are so, well, 'immature'. In other words, looking to be the School Queen by dating the Head Quarterback and of course being the Prom Queen as well. Us 'normal' mates were not even on the playing field as far as they were concerned. I fancied the one I did because she was so levelheaded and played NO games at all -unlike the mob of teenyboppers that I was forced to interact with on a daily basis...

I see what you are saying, but you have to realize that you are very uncommon. our thumnail sketch of the prom queen etc isn't very meaningful, nor is it very accurate, for women much older than 22 or 23. That's not exactly the dynamic going on with them: I think you are being too tough on them, or maybe unsure how to handle them. In fact, once you know how to handle them, they are perfectly fine and wonderful companions, clearly beating out older models with more years under their belts to build storehouses of baggage.

I wouldn't suggest that most (or even many) older women are that much more "mature" and play "NO games at all," as you say. I can't see how anyone can live in the USA in 2005 and have any legitimate basis for saying that.

I know many women in their 30s. 40s, and older who are unmarried (either always single or divorced). They aren't notably more mature when it comes to relationships than women in their late 20s. It's all comparable, though that's not to say it's all the same.

The fact is, the games the 24 year old might be playing is probably a bit different tnan the games a 44 year old might be playing, but that's not to say they aren't both playing games.

In my experience, anyone who says that a single woman (either never married or divorced) in her 40s is notably mature and uniquely not into playing games hasn't actually met many real women in their 40s. The same is true for women in their mid 30s or so. While some exist, the trend of single, manless, and aggressively looking women is not becoming notably more 'mature' as they grow older. Not at all.

Only barely related, this reminds me of a very funny episode in my past that even women within earshot laughed at heartily. I know a very sexually inexperienced mid 20s male who is a nice guy, but no game at all and no stones to speak of.

His plan was to find a mature women in her 40s - fit, attractive, vivacious, and single. His hope was that her patient, loving, and tender hand would introduce him to the world of carnal pleasures with a woman. He reasoned that such a woman would be of unique maturity, wholly comfortable with her sexuality enough to lovingly, patiently, and generously teach him the art of lovemaking.

All I could say, after listening for a couple of minutes, was "Hey, you've never actually met a woman in her 40s, have you?" EVERYONE (man, woman, young, old) in earshot busted a gut laughing.

To this day, he has gone nowhere towards making his initiation into manhood a reality. It's a dumb plan, in any event. :-)
