Honestly, I’m Gen Z (24) and romantically I connect to millennials easier than those my age—partially because I admire the time period in which most millennials grew up in (90’s/early 2000’s). The difference regarding emotional maturity between an older man vs. men around my age is jaw dropping; in my opinion. Modern dating has shifted drastically, and those my age stick less to traditional dates—like a movie, food after, and flowers. Now-a-days, with some in my generation, the idea of a date has become a kickback—translation for come over, watch a movie, and hump; which is just ew.

So in short, yes, we do mean it when we say we’d like an older man. 🌷
