I wasn't looking for an older woman and Karolina wasn't looking for a younger man, but it just happened.(I was 39 and she was 55 then.) Our relationship is unique, because it's not just built on sex, but on trust, respect and love.In fact, when I first met her, I didn't know I was attracted to an 'older' woman.I knew she was older than I, but I didn't realize the disparity in age until she told me (which didn't happen until a couple of dates into our relationship).Here are some answers which are clear, articulate and to the point.Their sentiments represent a very large proportion of the opinions we heard expressed. When I saw her, I thought she was just the perfect woman for me and I was sure about that.I mean, older women think differently on certain issues and they've got more experience. Not that I was doing it for her, but just being with her."—Art, 27 "Emotional stability. There have been nothing but positives in my relationships with two older women.They were able to see things in me that I could not see in myself.

The ability to talk about anything with her was refreshing and engaging.It was Fred who visited her on a regular basis and saw to it that she had what she needed during her recuperation. But Marla's flaw seemed to be that she was only five years older—and for Fred, that still wasn't enough to produce the kind of emotional maturity and depth for which he searched. Maybe not all the time, but a lot more often than younger women.After his relationship with Gretchen ended, Fred tried dating girls in their early twenties. After a year or so of taking a "time-out," Fred met Lynne. Fred's respect and appreciation of older women was clear when he spoke: "The way mature women carry themselves shows they know who they are. They are all-around much more attractive to me."Also, they are much more experienced with life.I think younger women are sometimes too focused on starting families and that is rarely an issue with older women. They are not just looking for guys who will be good fathers and providers. I enjoy a confident attitude and older women definitely have the upper hand in that area.""When I meet a woman over 30, she's usually very clear and focused.She knows what she wants in life and it makes being with her so much easier.
