She said, "I think that men still have this false notion that women are attracted to older men. We are not, especially considering the fact that women are becoming more financially independent and educated"
The first problem with that statement is your usage of "we." You cannot speak for the entire female gender, just as I cannot. As a female speaking solely on behalf of herself, I must say that I truly disagree with your statement. I am in my early twenties, and my preference is to date older men who are usually in their forties. Maturity is never an issue in my relationships, as even my closest friends are within that age bracket. Older men have the tendency to possess certain characteristics that are beyond a younger man's reach, within his younger years. I prefer a man with maturity, charm, experience, class, and just an overall gentleman. Additionally, it is always nice to be with a partner who truly appreciates you and knows how to treat a woman. While I have tried my best to locate these desirable traits in the 20s and 30s age brackets, I have been unsuccessful with my journey. (This is not to say that these men cannot possess theses traits.) Regardless, you are only speaking for yourself when you say that "we" (all women) are not attracted to older men. There is no man that can turn me on better than an older gentlemen. And yes, the wrinkles and baldness are beautiful in my eyes.links: digg this del.icio.us technorati reddit
