Whateverist, generally I've found that men who are past a certain age behave a certain way. That's not to say that older men can't act like fucktards (and believe me, even the good ones have their moments) or that men my age can't be wonderful (and I've come across a few - even on this board). It's a generalization.
I like a man who is intelligent, well-read, confident in himself, appreciates good things, and has a sense of where he's going in life - and by a certain age is going that direction successfully. That's USUALLY men in the 30-40 or older range. I've met some younger ones who have goals and aspirations and plans to get there, and that's sexy too. What I don't like are the ones I grew up around, and who I find all over the place, who are still stuck in the frat boy lifestyle. I don't have time for that but once in a while. I have shit to do the next day, and generally, so do older guys. They don't get huffy if I wake up at 5:30 in the morning naturally - usually they're awake too, and making coffee. It works out well.
