It seems that lately all the men I’ve been interested in have been younger than me. I don’t mean a year or two or younger either, I mean like 6, 7 or even 8 years younger. I believe that as we get older age gaps make less of a difference but I still feel like the gap between early/mid twenties to early/mid thirties is a pretty significant one. I grew up so much in the last few years of my twenties and often times women already want to settle down before men. So, I’m just not confident I can hang around until a 25 year old is ready to get married and start a family because I may not have any eggs left by then.

I’m not sure why it is that I’ve been drawn to these specific younger men lately because in my head the ideal age range for me right now is men who are 35-38. I’m looking for a man who is a little bit older, established, and ready for kids soon. Perhaps it’s because I’m still sorting all that out myself that I’m attracted to men who aren’t there yet either, or maybe it’s because I want a partner with a creative side, and some of the older men have lost that in favor of practicality? I don’t know what it is but I’m trying to stay away from it. Is that wrong? Should I just go for it and not worry about it? What say you dear readers?
