Going for older men...??/ losing interest?

Im what i consider to be a fairly 'normal' girl whatever that may be. ive been having sex since i was 16 and im now 18, ive havent really found it difficult with guys like getting attention or anything and have probably had quite alot of sex partners for my age but i have a habit of going for older men. . oldest was 33 and at the moment im seeing someone whos 30. im scared to admit it to my friends and have even lied about the age of people im seeing. i have been out with people my age but i like the feeling that an older guy can protect me. Also as soon as i've been with a guy about 3 months max and it starts getting emotional i just seem to switch off my emotions and dump them. My dad died when i was six and ive always wondered whether it might be something to do with why im a bit weird with men. I want to be loved but then as soon as someone tells me he loves me i just reject them. am i just a cold hearted b**ch?? im fed up of hurting people cos i cant seem to control my own feelings. any ideas??

    Actually, this is quite normal. Older men have much more to offer. And, the sex is much better--they have the experience, patience, and motivation to get you excited and really please you. So, I don't think there is anything wrong with you, in this respect. The only reason you lie to others about their age is because many people don't quite accept this kind of age gap, even though it's perfectly normal.

    As for the relationships ending when things get emotional, here is a suggestion: Tell your next partner that you want to keep things casual, you don't want him to develop feelings for you, and that should he ever tell you, 'I love you,' you will leave him. Don't explain why, just say that's the way you are. Women are paradoxical.

    • I agree - the hurting is not fair whatever age and you should be honest about your expectations since you know in advance what you are doing. The rest - well - you are of the age of consent & seem to know what you are doing & why.

      I think you turn off emotionally because you are too young for a serious/sustained relationship. And that will be there for older guys who are ready at their age. Teens may tend to experience intense feelings, but not really deep or long lived. Anyway, best to be straight up with these guys.

      Sorry you lost your Dad at such a tender age - doubt it has much to do with it though IMO.

    You don't have to have everything in common to have a good relationship, and you don't have to have ANYTHING in common to have good sex. What you like is what you like, and nobody can tell you it's wrong as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult.

    I'm an older guy (47) who loves younger women. I find them delightfully open-minded, fun, and unspoiled compared with women my own age. . . and I like to be with someone who is young and hot enough for me to physically worship in bed.

    The problem for me is that I feel like I can't make the first move on the women I'm interested in, for fear of being creepy. I'm up for a relationship but not clingy or jealous or needy, so if a young woman is interested, she just needs to let me know, and let me know what her boundaries are.

    So, do you live in Northern California? I'd love to meet some interested young women! :)

    It's normal for girls to be attracted to older men. They are seen as strong and capable, and able to provide support and protection.

    It is normal for girls to have these feelings, but generally abnormal for girls to act on the feelings.

    Also, it's not normal for you to dump a guy every time you get close to them. Not only is it not normal, but it is also not fair to these men. Until you grow up, and are emotionally ready for a relationship, stop torturing these men by leading them on and dumping them. It's cruel, and what goes around comes around.

    When I was your age I always went for older men. Now, I like guys my own age. They are more experienced, less judgmental and don't tell everyone your personal business. I am still friends with the guy who I had sex with the first time. He is 10 years older than me. He wants to run away together and live somewhere warm someday but I am over the relationship in that way. You are old enough to make those choices if you were younger I'd be weary. Sorry about your dad kiddo...

    i'm only 16 and always go for older guys , they are just better in every area and guys our age are like retarted monkeys ... anyway i dont get why your ashamed to tell your friends ? age dif is not a big deal ... most girls go for older guys and most husbands are 10 too 20 years older than their wife's , if the guy isnt a looser he will always get a younger wife , and same goes for the girl , if she can she will always go for an older stronger , smarter guy :) anyway sorry about your father ... but i dont think thats got anything to do with it ... my father is still alive and i still love older guys ... so do my friends .... perhaps your friends are just not admitting ? or they just use the excuse to be critical toward you? maybe they are even jealous , who knows ... but one things for sure , we all like older guys :)

    Yeah...sounds like it could have to do with your dad. You maybe feel you need a father figure in your life. Not sure why you would lose interest when they start showing emotions, though. Only you can figure that part out. Good luck.

    I'm a bit the same. I think it's just all about the hunt, then once I get a guy there's no challenge left. Older is nice because they have more to offer. They talk about things that are new and different than what 18 y/o guys want to talk about. They have their own place which include lots of room for you. And a real job, but make sure there is time for you. Plus you know being hot and young you are the kind of girl they dream about sleeping with again.

    Aww, i feel bad. I don't think that age difference is a severe issue, especially as you get a bit older, but the protecting thing seems like something very normal among people with situations similar to yours
