Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Too old
I have a bit of a problem. I am quite young (16) and I keep falling for guys that are considerably older than me. And by that, I do not mean 20 -25 years old. I am talking 35 - 45. I don't like old blokes. Just that age range. I can talk to them much better than anyone my age. I also think that some of them are quite good looking. The fact that I can hold an intelligent conversation with them makes them respect me a lot more. This really bothers me, because I know they are far too old, and also that I find myself less attracted to guys my own age.
I've been mulling this over in my head, and it may just be that I confuse respect for something more and respond accordingly. Another reason is that I just like the ability to have an intelligent conversation, and because I associate the idea of having a great conversation with the guy, I become attracted to them.

Anyway, I'm rambling. This is so confusing! Is this normal??

just hang in there and dont get into a serious relationship till yr older! at 16 my thing for older men was a bit dodgy. only a paedo would date a 16 yr old at 40 u could get in a bad situation. however now im 25 i can get with older guys and nobody bats an eyelid. when youve lived a bit you will have more in common with these people anyway.
It is normal for a girl of your age to like older guys, its something to do with them having more respect and maturity than younger guys. But i would not reccomend you go out with one, the ones that go out with you will have low respect and low self esteem, that is why they have chosen to go out with you.

The more respected ones (the ones you want) have enough togetherness to realise going out with someone 20+ years younger, is not a serious situation to be in, you may have to wait a few years before you can reasonably occumplish going out with someone 20+ years older, and by that time you will have grown out of this phase.
I have found older men more attractive since I was 16 too. and I'm 21 now and I don't think in my case it is just a "phase". But yes it is normal.

Oh yes. Definitely. I play MMORPG'S (Massively multiplayer online roleplaying games), and I've had chances to talk with a lot of older men with some relative anonymity. Usually it just starts out pretty normal, getting-to-know you. But once you get into the real stuff, I find myself attracted to people I find out to be older males. I don't know what it is about it. I understand totally everything you say, you have no idea. They find out that I'm 15, and you can tell that something just changes. And it's not even them, necessarily. I know that they know how old I am, and I don't want to be quite as honest as I was for fear of coming off as someone I know I'm not. I did once find someone who I really quite liked (platonically) and got along with, and it was so refreshing to have serious conversations and have fun without needing to worry that "oh well he'll think I'm just some desperate teenager who can't control her sex drive". And without having to feel bad about being deceptive about my age. That said, however much I agree maturity is not dependent on age, you just cannot beat time. Over and over I've been proven wrong or discovered things I didn't even know I was missing just by have lived a bit longer, seen a bit more that I thought was not have been of consequence. Do you get what I'm trying to express, however poorly? Heh.
Right on, sister. Amen!
There's nothing wrong with wanting to talk to a man who is more mature than stupid teenage boys. (no offense to any teenage guys that might read this...heh...)

WHAT THE FUCK WOULD A 16 YEAR OLD KNOW ABOUT "INTELLIGENCE?" those men are just subtler horney teenage boys who know chick that are dumb like you get hooked easily by words as opposed to deeds...
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
