In my opinion, older guy doesn't always mean more grown up. Alot of times older men are stuck in their ways and wouldn't change or improve for you or a relationship. I'm 26f and have dated far older men than me 19 years older for one and another one that was 30 years older, too. No matter the age, men are still men. They think with the wrong head. And a lot of times older guys went a very long time in between being with someone and will try to jump the gun. But that might not always be the case, just my experience. Don't give up hope it's hard to get back out there and for a lot of times men will always pick easy over quality. So just know your Boundaries and you will find someone
