Technically 30's, but voted 40's since I will be there shortly, (FSM willing).

I didnt say that everyone else should have girlfriend thats younger. I just said that I could not think to have an older girlfriend.

I would also not want to have a girlfriend that is taller then myself either. Plus that she shouldnt be fat but not too skinny either.

As far as I know there are 2 women here, CoxRox (Catherine) and Puglover (Rebecca). Could be more.

23 here. My husband assures me I'm female. I'm wondering what the breakdown in the general population is, of women and men. I know the perception is that women tend to be more religious or more in control of their families religion. It would be interesting to find out.

But I keept track of others specially girls. its importent that you dont have a girlfriend older then yourself. She can be at the same age, but not older. Thats atleast what I think

What, to your ego?

But I do admit there is a double standard between guys dating younger girls and girls dating younger guys. I had a boyfriend who was a year younger than me once and if it was ever brought up I often got teased of "cradle-robbing" which annoyed me to no end.

If you want to only date younger women, that's your prerogative but I don't think there's any really good reason to limit yourself except for the obvious ones, like teachers dating students.

Giff, don't knock either premise would be my advice!
c.70% of this atheist forum is under 30. I think that is hopeful for the future!
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Very True.

It's interesting though because essentially Giff wants a girlfriend who is inferior. And I mean that in the most non-offensive way possible.

Given the classic perception of relationships where the man provides for the woman, there is also a physical impression of being taller and older that carries over. It almost seems counter-intuitive and odd to see a woman who is much larger or older than her male counterpart.

This kind of thing doesn't only exist in heterosexual relationships. There's a type of anime genre called Yaoi which is basically homosexual animated porn (Shounen-ai would be it's softer counterpart) In almost every case the uke (bottom) is smaller and effeminate while the Semi (top) is more taller and masculine. This happens so much that when I read stories in which there is a gay couple I always imagine the bottom is shorter. In fact it's very difficult for me to imagine he would be taller. We also have a tendency to do the same to lesbians (Butch lesbians, lipstick lesbians) in respect to their gender roles in the relationship.

RE: Age groups
Turned 20 last October!

It's good to see such a spread of ages in the forum, rather than just having one set gives a more varied forum style I think.

Also, while I respect a persons right to bear an opinion, I might point out that thinking of older / fatter/ taller women as something to be avoided could lead to you missing someone who could have been very special to you ... Keep an open mind and see what comes your way ... irrespective of the normals of society! (Although a nearly 6'4" tall I don't meet many women taller than me lol)
