What is it with girls in their 20s
Posted: 2/20/2008 12:16:48 PM
I don't care, and I don't pretend to be anything but what I am...41...almost 42

But I would REALLY like to slap those girls wearing tiaras to the nightclub,oh... and the ones who carry those purses that look like they have a little Paris Hilton rat dog in them. Really... what's up with that?

I think the best sign of maturity in a young woman is how many stuffed animals she has.. 1 or 2 from childhood..okay, marginally mature, but if you can't see the bed..or they have migrated to the rest of her place...run.

Just my opinion

Oh...and 14 is still a child, AND certifiably insane, no matter HOW od they might look...ask any parent of a teenage girl.

It's fairly simple really, girls in their 20's f*ck guys in their 30's and 40's for the money and sexual experience of the older dudes. These older dudes have no interest in the old women their age, what the hell for, they're bagging 20 something year olds. Girls in their 30's can't get the guys in their 30's because the guys in their 30's are getting all the girls in their 20's, so the girls in their 30's f*ck the guys in their 20's, which actually works out well for them because guys in their 20's don't know what they're doing , but are usually eager beavers and can go a few rounds a night on a regular basis. Now the girl's in their 40's pretend to be women in their 30's to get the guys in their 20's and men in their 50's and 60's buy rograin and viagra and try to live like they were in their 30's but typically have to pay money to get the girls in their 20's and women in their 50's and 60's have too many pet cats to take care of to worry about dealing with any of this mess.

So... to summarize... the guys in their 20s are into girls in their 30s, and girls in their 30's are into guys in their 20s, and girls in their 40s are pretending to be in their 30s, which means they go for guys in their 20s who want girls in their 30s because the girls in their 30s secretly in their 40s or 50s, all the while the guys in their 50s who would normally go for the girls in their 30s that are actually in their 40s but secretly want the guys in their 20s who don't go for girl in their 20s who eventually grow up to be girls in their 60s with too many cats end up buying viagra and rogane for nothing?

Hey! I have a shirtless (topless = stripper terminology) photo up! It took me 20 years to build this physique, strength, & body composition. And noone can make me feel ashamed of it! I seem to get my fair share of jealous hateful dorks messaging me on POF as is.

And girls in their 20s are stupid & insecure unfortunately. Just when many of them start to fall apart & have kids with the wrong guy, they're ready for "the one"!

Sigh, I get so tired of these ageist and gender-bashing threads when it comes to maturity...

Some people will tell you "women mature faster than men", and you'll find others like the ones on the thread here complaining the contrary. In my opinion, the simple truth is that MOST young people are immature, the genders just tend to lean towards different styles of immaturity.

Some of the top complaints about young men are:
1) They're always after sex (well duh, if you've ever had decent sex and aren't getting some regularly, you'll be on the hunt for it too)
2) They play video games (this one's slowly equalizing between the sexes)
3) They can't clean or take care of themselves (not quite true, some are raised properly, others are simply comfortable with their level of "filth")
4) They do reckless things (testosterone and not enough success on the sex front can make a teenage man do crazy things... )
5) They waste their time/money on "frivolous things" (e.g. beer, cars, expensive gadgets - ever notice though that these are often used in pursuit of women...? )

However there are just as many prevalent complaints of young women:
1) They over-analyze every damn thing said to them (sometimes a spade is just a spade)
2) They chatter endlessly (which doesn't necessarily mean anything intelligent is coming out of your mouths, you'd do well to learn the wisdom of silence from time to time).
3) They are usually broke, comparatively-speaking (a lot of girls spend their money on just as frivolous things as men, and can do so more easily as they aren't socially-obligated to pay for dates. Check any woman's closets for expensive outfits they wear once in a lifetime, a mountain of shoes, a keg-ful of cosmetics, and the list goes on...). Also a lot of them knowingly choose nurturing yet low-paid professions when they could have just as easily enrolled for higher-paying jobs like their male counterparts. This is just as much a contributor to the earning power discrepancy observed between the sexes...
4) They can be overly-dramatic (breaking out and crying because your friend called you a skank behind your back or because you dropped your purse in the muck is hardly a grown-up thing to do)
5) I also forgot to mention the stuffed animal fixation and cutesy flowery things fetish... It's kind of funny to see a 20 year-old woman that still sleeps with a stuffed bear

At any rate, both genders have their faults - a young boy that is only after sex but is honest about it is no less mature in my books than a woman that decides she wants to hold out for a relationship. Both have thought about what their goals are for the moment and are acting accordingly. I would consider someone that pretends to be mature for the sake of APPEARING MATURE to be the one that needs to grow up more...

I just had to reply by saying that it is self defeating by trying to dress the way the "guys" like to see you.

The best way to dress is to be comfortable and show the form not the skin. Men have great imagination. We can be in baggy sweats and they will STILL get turned on. It is the person you are who is comfortable with yourself that is attractive. Dressing sexy and showing so much skin will reveal a needy, insecure attention seeker.
Be yourself, dress to impress yourself and preserve your self respect.

I'm a mere 21, but am more sophisticated, classy, and conversationalistic (it's a new word, go with it
.....Mmmmm Not too sure about the 'classy bit'. You certainly are an attractive woman it's just a shame you are flashing your assets to get the attention you need . Perhaps this may just be the reason a lot of younger guy's go for the old ducks. It's not always about the body, the mind is a hell of a lot more interesting.

So very true Juliet! The brain is the largest sexual organ there is (although, with some it can be a toss up.... hehehehe....j/k). It's just that younger women (and some older women too) have not figured that out yet.

I'm in my early, approaching mid 20 next week... and I have never dated a man my age or younger. Mainly for the same reason you said about woman in their 20s. And mostly its because of lack of conversation. It's cool talking about friends or parties here and there, but sometimes I wanna chat about politics, art, whats going on in the world...or even deeper. I went on dates with like 3 guys my age about a year or so ago...and I just got bored. Fast. And I'll also admit, the bedroom...its not that same, I find age and experience makes a difference. By the way, im not saying I date like people 20 years my senior..., but a few years older...sure.

I think the younger men and women just aren't finding each other to realize some people our age are actually intelligent, and interesting...and in some ways I think it may be because there are many younger women out there who are so superficial, so the ones who aren't so much, don't get much mind.

I don't know, just my opinion.

alright well everyone here has their points but its my experience as a girl/woman of 20, that guys at this age are the same as us.. I consider myself pretty educated (being in university) and can hold conversations and am 'sophisticated'. Unfortuately i do see girls my age acting like sex fenes and well don't hold a lot in their heads, (and I'll admit i've done that too) BECAUSE when we go out to dance or drink and try to meet some hot nice guys on campus we hold this need to impress those around us, BECAUSE if we aren't as pretty as the others and don't turn heads as you might say, guys don't notice us...to be honest when people go out Long term relationships are not on our minds. (not at the bars and clubs I go to at least)

I'm coming into my 20's, meaning I am still trying to figure myself out. Our problem in society is that we assume too much about each other. You might meet a beautiful blonde, curvaliscious woman of 20 and automatically you assume that shes a ditz (maybe she's had a couple of drinks) but in reality she's a bioscience major with the highest GPA Ever. Then theres me, brunette, little quiet educated, YET i can hammer back a beer and might not be as smart as one thinks. I'm not political or theoretical but I know my stuff.
Guys in their 20s (early 20's) don't care about what we think, maybe i'm generalizing, those who do care don't ask us what we think and then stereotype. They mock us if we don't know one little thing of information and then have the superior complex and make us as women think we cannot compete at an academic or intellectual level, therefore we dumb ourselves down at first meetings and try to get you on the hotness factor....
its all about first impressions..thats the sad reality, once we meet a person its that meeting that stays with us forever.

How I love sweeping, baseless generalizations :). Just as you can find mature and immature early twenty-somethings, you can find mature and immature 30, 40 and 50-somethings. They say "with age comes wisdom" but I'm sure we've all seen cases where age showed up all by it's lonesome. Variety is the spice of life, I suppose. If I were to judge men from the worst conversations I've had here, I'd probably be a lesbian. The vast majority of these guys have been over the age of 25. However, I somehow don't think this site is an accurate sample of the general population :P.

Biologically I believe that is the case with young children but it evens out by the time everyone is in their 20s.

Culturally however... that tells a different story. Once you get past the uniqueness of individuals there is a difference in how the genders are socialized with regards to the expectations that make them seem mature.

Modern woman today are like how men were in the 50s. At no time in history has woman been so encouraged to have no responsibility, accountability, standards or moral code. So as a *generality* your observation is correct.

LOL!! Glad to know I wasn't the only one trying to find the topless pic of the poster!! Not that it would matter anyways....I don't like seeing guys without their shirts on(on here).

Older women are classy, huh?
Well, what about an older woman being more sassy with the right amount of classy?

Geez........People, it's just all about choice.......if a young man digs an older woman, good for him! If an older man digs a younger woman good for him! And vice versa for women.....

I'm starting to get confused!! It just shouldn't matter......I love to see any type of man and woman holding hands and looking at each other with loving eyes!! We need more of that, regardless of the ages!!!

I do not get hung up on ages or types. I just LOVE women. If she can hold a conversation and is not a couch potato who weighs 350 lbs, , I do not care if she is 20 or 50.

I don't usually post to the forums, but this caught my eye. I don't think you should generalize too much. I'm a mere 21, but am more sophisticated, classy, and conversationalistic (it's a new word, go with it :p) than most people in their late twenties. I realise I'm only one woman, but it's still enough to make you think twice...or else you can just pretend I'm 27. That's fine too.


Actually, what I see is a lack of humility, which negates any sort of class you thought you had :)

I really enjoyed the analysis of 1sweeetguy
I think there is lots of truth to it.

Just wondering then .... what happens 10 years later when the former 20 year old chick is either 1) married to the former 40 year old man and wondering what the hell she was thinking now that he is 50 and needs viagra (lol) cause even he finds her slightly less hot than when she was 20. And she finds the house that his money bought is really just a roof and some walls.
or 2) has left the older guy way behind and instead is married to the former 20 year old guy who shagged lots of older women ..

well let's go with scenario 2) cause then both parties win.

Until the former 20 year old guy turns 40 and finds his now 40 year old wife slightly less attractive and boosting to his ego than the cute little 20 year old admin assistant in his offce who is quite impressed with his job title and ....

well off we go again.

Agree! but...

Yes girls mature faster the boys. Physically! That is probably why they age faster in appearance then men do.

The issue with why young guys find at times older women attractive ( if that is the right word) is because of the "mother influence" in their own lives. It is something bread into most young guys. And of course older women are more life smart and wise. Just like the guys mother. When socializing with older woman there is much more of that connection. So generally the sexual pressure is different.

For instance my first "real" kiss was when I was 15. It was with a 28 year old woman whom with I worked with. Which I was very comfortable with, compared to if it was with another 15 year old (girl).

From my teens to twenties. I found I much more of a connection to women who were well into their thirties. Plus they were much more entertaining.

Yes women in their 20s lack life experience. Even though the they think they are so mature and sophisticated. For most of them it is all in their minds. But like you say there is exceptions. Rolling around in the sack does not make a person wise. The bugs do it and look were their at.

Another instance. Young woman. Here and there I get young woman (collage students) Who flirt with me. I just turned 44. They don't want to date me. They are sizing themselves up to see were they stand in their own mind. It's really their ego that is coming into play here. And of course that is really more of self -esteem issue with themselves. A older woman does not need to do that. She knows who she is and knows where she stands.

Back on track.
I study handwriting analysis so I see how much the mother and father influence there is in peoples writing. It is a real sub-conscience thing.

Carefully examine the meaning of mature and in the context it's used. By mature, science means the development of sexual organs, and nothing more.

Your experience is not the opposite of anything! It's right on.

OP just sounds like someone who is frustrated

i stopped trying to think of a way to "make marriage work" when i was 10 years old

i realized that this world and life and existance involves sexing to make babies, and 1 man should sex/babies with 1 woman in order for things to seem fair. cause if 1 guy sex/babied 10 women then 9 guys would be pissed off. so the way society melded together the concept of marriage was formed where 1 man makes a family with 1 woman and the families breed into other families etc. but now there are laws with marriage where if the girl feels like leaving you pay money for divorce etc and go to court pay money for lawyers and lose money

so i figured screw that crap. im just never gonna get married. i will just try to form a family with a girl without marrying her and if she dont like it she can leave me. i realized all that when i was 10





now i see all these guys trying to make the idea of marriage work looking at girls as could this girl be a good wife, is she interesting, blah blah blah. who cares. just try it with her, if you like her then stay, if you dont like her then leave. it aint complicated


dont see teh point of opening post

I think when you are in your 20's you are most likely finishing your education and exploring the world for the most part. Those are the days to be carefree, find out who you are, what you want, and possibly who you should be with. We all grow in our own time and like many wish I had the wisdom and confidence at 20 that I now have at 40, the body I had at 20 wouldnt be so bad either. It is a lot of fun to date men in their 20's but the reality- is where is it going? It's sexy/sweet when you have 28/40, but less sexy sweet at 40/58. I was dating someone considerably younger, it was wonderful but in the end we lived in different worlds, and you should at 20 something and 40. Younger men are physically beautiful, sweet, and sexy, so are the older ones but in the end we end up with someone who lives in a similar world as ours.
