Confessions of A Naughty Girl

Post By Request

Earlier today, I received a suggestion from a friend of the blog, let's call him "Maneyac", to address something that hasn't been brought up just yet. Ordinarily, I write whatever the hell I want and hope that people enjoy it, but this one's interesting, so let's let it roll.

Most of this little blog "community" is in their twenties, which is an interesting age. Some of us are still weaning ourselves off of mommy's titty, and some of us are engaged, married, with child (oy), or at least entertaining these ideas. Who you date - and how old the other person is - seems to play a big role in determining maturity, experience, and even beyond that, where the f*ck the relationship is going.

I'm interested to know this: is there a preference of older guys/girls? Younger? Why? And does it really make a difference?

I'll throw my two cents in here...in my 8 years of dating, I have dated someone in every category: same age, younger, older, Tonka Toys, and Viagra. And it doesn't make a damn difference to me, or at least not a noticeable one, because guys are like snowflakes (wow, poetic, I know). But honestly, everyone is different, and that's what makes it a process, and what makes it fun. But I prefer someone around the same age, maybe a year or two older. Because really, this is the age group that I relate to the most. Who else in my age group can nod appreciatively when I mention that my first concert was Milli Vanilli at the Coliseum in 1991, or that the saddest day of college was when the Twin Towers fell my senior year and one of the guys in my class that day ran out of the room screaming because his dad worked in the Pentagon? (His dad was okay, thankfully.)

Obviously, there are benefits to dating older people...hopefully, they're more established, more mature, and not still fumbling for a G-spot (if none of those apply to the person you're with now, you need to do some serious re-evaluation). But then again, if you're a girl, an older guy is sometimes the "swinging bachelor" that still eats off of paper plates and calls you his "friend" (despite having dated him for the past year). If you date an older woman, as many of my guy friends have, you could be stuck with the one that's hellbent on getting married five minutes ago and might just forget to take the Pill (which always seems to be the case). Conversely, younger girls have a tendency to have no idea what to do with a guy in bed, and younger guys - well, that's an entirely different post.

As always, scary Older Women stories or College Kid stories are appreciated, but please keep it relatively legal - remember that the consensual age in most states is 18. So if you have a hankering for 3 year old girls (which I am in no way encouraging or endorsing), make sure you are smart enough to use a screenname that doesn't identify you, dumbass.
