Older Women and Me

I’m back from my vacation and in great spirits. It’s been a hectic couple of days at work since I got back, but now I’m finally caught up, relaxed, and ready to face whatever comes at me.

One thing that I’ve been exploring lately is an attraction I have for older women. I’m not talking a couple years, either. A lot of the women I’m attracted to are 10, 20, even 30 years older, which of course make me wonder what the connection is between that and my mother. Is it some kind of Oedipus complex?

I think a lot of it is due to my mother’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I could never please her or get any kind of affection without strings attached, so maybe I’m looking for that reciprocation in an older partner.

But then again, should age really matter? I often find I have more in common with women much younger or much older than I do with people my own age. In some ways I grew up really fast and in others I admit my growth was stunted. Perhaps that’s why I have so much in common with the older and younger crowd.

In any event, I can’t imagine that there’s anything wrong with dating someone outside my age bracket. Maybe society has a stigma about it, but that doesn’t mean I do. I mean, come on! There are some hot 40-year-olds out there, and part of it is definitely a physical attraction.

Do any of you have any feelings about dating older or younger men/women?
