| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 8:49:19 PM | Okay so science says that women mature before men do... but in experience, I find it quite the opposite... is it just me, or are more guys in their 20s into women who are older... and I know what you are thinking... the SEX factor right? Well, let's put that aside for now because there are young guys who like to have their fantasy fulfilled ever since American Pie... but there are other guys who enjoy the conversation, classy, sophisticated type of ladies... and they happen to be ladies in their late 20s or older....
I've seen a bunch of ladies in their early 20s (my age) on this site, and I have to say, albeit they are extremely gorgeous and would get heads turned, there seems to be a lack of sophistication, classy-ness (if that even is a word), or lack of conversation skill.... and just for the record, there are the exceptions who just by talking would take your breath away.... I am pretty positive that that's what guys, at least in my age, would want to settle with...
Thoughts? Ladies... gents.... holla back... wanna hear your take/perspective... disagree/agree.. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 8:54:29 PM | | 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. | |

i think the word "articulate" would be a better choice. You could have also said that you were a "witty conversationalist. "
just a suggestion...

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 9:10:41 PM | | Most young ladies act and dress the way they do because they think it is cool and what the boys want... Most woman I am not so sure at 20 know what classy means, including 2nd poster, according to your pictures anyways. But when I was 20 I felt the need to be as sexy and hot as possible, didn't talk book smart because boys were not interested in that. A song comes to mind, Girls just wanna have fun... Just like the boys. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 9:25:06 PM | I agree with nthn0011, I was just telling Jersey about this. The only women I have met on hear that are fun or actually want to do something besides chat over IM like a school girl, are the older ones, maybe it's because they are confident women, and not just girls...
Excuse me while I get my flameproof suit on... | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 9:58:04 PM | I have to say as an 'older woman' I'm shocked the number of younger men that message. A few are for sex, but there have been so many more that are bright and articulate and have shocked me with their maturity. Often the comments are they are interested in women who are comfortable and confident in themselves...at first I was suspect of it all, but quite honestly the more I talk to them and the more I meet the more impressed I am.
As far as the girls in their 20s...other than seeing the ones around and about I have little contact. I agree with one of the posters--they are putting forward what they think men expect...it's a shame...I have an idea that many have much more to offer than what they're showing. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 10:49:29 PM | Lack of sophistication, classiness,....and that is coming from a guy who appears nekkid in his pic!! ;)
Girls just wanna have fun...and when you are in your 20's, that is what you are doing...and learning all of the other stuff for later! | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/9/2007 11:06:10 PM | | 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. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 12:18:40 AM | | Science? What does that have to do with anything? It's what you truly want and need for yourself that matters. In retrospect.............what's with guys in their twenties? Neither men nor women will ever figure each other out, so instead of questioning the opposite sex, enjoy them.......that's where the attraction of being with one another comes from. Some men prefer older women due to experience, wisdom and knowledge. It's attractive to them. Some men prefer younger women for various reasons as well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..........there is a lot of truth to that statement. In regards to your last statement..............you should NEVER settle for anyone. Be picky in your decision to be with someone. Believe enough in yourself where you feel your worth it and the payoff will be priceless. | |

No, it isn't just you. But that's fine because it leaves more ditsy 20-something girls for the rest of us to have fun with. What 1sweeetguy said. | |

A couple things I disagree with...first of all...I'm 45 and don't pretend to be 30 something--no need whatsoever. Secondly there's a misconception that 20 something men don't know what they're doing...hate to tell you, but that's just not the case. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 2:54:28 AM | I disagree with you - classiness as you put it, depends on the person and how they want to portray themselves. The so called older woman could wear a nice dress and talk really posh and look classy and they could also wear a pair of torn jeans and t-shirt and not come across as classy. Young gals try to look trendy and they are always pushing the boundaries trying to find themselves and they may not look or come across as classy but doesnt mean they might not in the future.
Now on the topic of conversation - it is up to you to find common ground when talking to someone. You have to find the right topic to converse about depending on the age of the person you are talking to. 'horses for courses ' - you wouldnt discuss the merits of skimpy clothes, short skirts to a woman in her 50's and I am sure there would be exceptions but this is just a for instance. I do agree older woman have more to talk about, as some or most of them have experienced life more and have a broad range of topics to talk about but that doesnt mean you wouldn't find younger girls who have experienced these things or is interested in experiencing them.
Everything has its merits and demerits and it is up to you to choose what is best for you. Don't knock something just because it hasn't worked for you.
Agree - disagree? | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 5:13:03 AM | So you seek, so shall you find :) Or, to be blunt, we tend to find the same type of partners b/c we hang out in the same places that attract people like us...or we just tend to overlook all the people around us just to focus on the same type of person.
Before American Pie, there was Mrs. Robinson being a cougar. Young guys who were shy thought about the sexy older neighbor who educated them before even that. An older person may not suffer the shyness of a younger person, an older person can carry a conversation b/c they simply have the experience of age--the longer you have been outside your parents' house, the more stories you have to tell, etc.
I work with a 50 yr old man who just married his now 21 yr old gf. She gets out of a lousy family, he gets a trophy with large breasts. He complains about her lack of maturity, I don't know what she may complain about him. Are they in love? Who knows, but it isn't my business...but yeah, I get sick of hearing him complain about her lack of maturity. If he wanted that, he should have married someone closer to his age. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 5:27:49 AM | | well my opinion is this. I totally agree! im 32. Its lifes experiences that add to your sophistication and that takes time. Also you dont know what you want in your 20s, really your busy layin the foundations to your life by the time you hit late 20s your more set up in what u want and more importantly what you dont want which gives a sense of confidence! 30s is the new 20s i love it lol x | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 6:01:52 AM | I completely agree with tarpeia (post #2). You're generalizing far too much. I was glad to see that you listed the exception instead of lumping all young women into the category of vapid and shallow (you'd be surprised how many people generalize for both sexes).
Personally, dearie, I think you're meeting the wrong types of women. Not that you can help it; you get what you get. But this IS a free site, and so it will attract many different types of people, including the ones who have no sense of class or sophistication. Keep looking, and don't give up. You'll find the right one. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 6:14:26 AM | from the photo that you chose as your main, I'd say you're really looking for someone to satisfy your ego. Probably someone older will appreciate you for your looks and you won't have to try to justify other parts of your life that maybe you're not so proud of.
Someone your age will want you to take care of them, be mature and possibly think of committing to raising a family together... and I'll guess that scares you.
Might want to put your clothes back on and focus on growing up for awhile. In the long run you will be more satisfied with yourself and be a better mate to someone else. | |

When I was younger, sometimes I thought young ladies who weren't interested in my come-ons were lesbians. Sort of like how you think today's young ladies aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate your conversation "skill".
You seem to be confused about the definition of "sophisticated". It doesn't mean a woman who is interested in exploring a "sex factor" with an inexperienced guy.
You can find sex skanks at any age. If this is what you want and you aren't achieving this, you either aren't looking in the right places or your game needs improvement. Holla holla, word up. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 6:54:08 AM | I deal with the public, a lot, and for the record I have to say.......... females between the ages of 14 to 24 really have a narcisstic persona about them. (And maybe I was the same at that age too.) If anyone is going to cop an attitude on an aircraft and be a problem passenger, it will fall in this age range with females. | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 7:00:15 AM | Interesting - so far from the threads of responses, I've had two comment about my picture of being topless... not to instigate a feud, but do you guys always judge a book by its cover? .... if I were to ask you how important a guys physique would be to you... what would you say... and be honest!
Let's face it, as human beings we all like attention in some form or manner... whether you believe me or not is entirely up to you, but I posted that picture on POF to see what kind of responses I would get.... and to my prediction, I've had way more views and more responses just because I posted a topless pic - interesting how we are drawn to physical characteristics more so.... blame the media?
Thanks for your comments! | |

| What is it with girls in their 20s Posted: 7/10/2007 7:01:59 AM | Thanks Tarpeia - I don't generalize much... and when I do, I do catch my self.... and I'm in total agreement that all it takes is one lady to change your mind, and you get a new perspective... :)
Thanks again! | |
