    where does a 26-year-old male stand in your case?

    would you want to do something like that?

    Well like someone said it's really depends on the individual. Some people are very immature for their age or mature..their are a lot of variable. I just think in general I would opt for someone my age or older. And i realize age has nothing to do with someone's sexual prowesses. I was stereotyping.

    Got'cha. Well, you should have just said acting like eyedclaar instead of using the term angst.

    good luck with that, most men are never mature. (well at least when we're around other dudes.)

    amen to that...well when I say immaturity..i don't mean lack of fun loving..I can be a goofball and all, I mean emotional wise and being considerate to your partner, that sort of maturity. But yeah I know how it is when guys get together. It's just when they prefer to be with their friends or friend is when I see trouble.

    most men are like that, well, i should say most people are like once they're on their own. some may struggle harder than others but they're still doing things their own way. if that's your true definition of maturity, it's not that hard to find men out like that.

    when I'm reading this "immaturity" description about men from women, i was assuming you gals are think about our behavior and such. so i was assuming you meant men are sensitive and metrosexual types. (you know what i mean?)

    I just think it's stupid when I hear people saying that younger guys are always emotional brick walls or only care about themselves.

    I know people of every age who are like that... I'm 26 and I like to think that the happiest I've ever been in life was when I was looking out for someone else. In fact, I'm living the 'single bachelor life' right now and I think it's fucking awful. Having to think about myself all day? Horrible, horrible navel gazing.

    I agree...I haven't had a relationship with anyone who didn't fit those qualities...or had trouble meeting someone who did. Just making the point that it doesn't relate to age. I don't think sensitivity has anything to do with maturity...being able to listen, being compassionate and empathetic - sure...and metrosexual...um no thanks :) Unless it's david beckham. I'll make an exception for him as long as he doesn't talk :)

    Well I am scarred from a bad experience. I know it's not right to think like that but I have all sorts of reasons why i need someone close to my age. Younger guys aren't alway necessarily going to want to settle down that fast. But there are a lot of immature older guys....so immaturity goes beyond age.

    Im not saying that at all..and I hate when men think that. Some guys are just all about their friends and don't have priorities. That is immature imo. But yeah go out and play with your friends..god knows I need my alone time too :p

    meh...what your mind and heart wants are two different things sometimes. Unfortunately, I always connect w/younger guys. What does that say about me?

    After about a year of hanging out with mutual friends....a guy whom is 27 has become romantically interested in me. I admit, I too, have become interested!!!! He's is super cute and nice as hell but I am afraid of our age difference. Ahem! I am going to be 39 in a few weeks and found out his dad is only 6 years older than I. I think it would be a great relationship we get along real well and know each other's personality. However the age thing really worries me... am I just trying to prevent myself from any happiness whatsoever? So what is your opinion? :P


    Whatever you choose to do stick with it and don't have second thoughts. Best of luck to you. :)
