There is this thread over in the general personals about liking Older men. As for me, my personal tastes over the years have been for men who are in the age range of 26 to about 5 or 6 years older than me. These are very flexible standards I have, they depend a lot on the individual.
Why those specifics?
By 26 a man has had a chance to be on his own for a few years and discover who he is. He's had a taste of responsibility which I find much more sexy than men who have not had to fend for themselves yet. Why not men who are more than 5 or 6 years old. I grew up in the 70's, the era when women left the school desk, the secretarial pool, the telephone switchboard, the bank teller's cage, and started working as Telephone linemen, repair men and competing for CEO spots. While I was lucky to come after them and not have to fight as hard to be considered "equal" at work or at college, I am still very aware of it. It has been my personal experience that men who are more than 10 years older than me may see as less of an equal, less qualified to offer an opinion. While I may have submissive tendencies, I still want to feel that my knowledge and experince count. Again this is flexible, I know there are men out there who are much older than me who have an open mind in this aspect, but I run into far more less flexible men than I do ones who are willing to consider me an equal. As the product of a single parent family, I watched my mother make her way through the workforce without that respect or salary.
Has my family experiences colored my viewpoint? Yes, it has. Thankfully I have only run into blatant sexual discrimination once during my time working. There have also been a couple instances at the research positions at universities that I applied to where I wondered if that was indeed the issue behind not being offer the position.
I know this seems like an odd viewpoint to have even now that I have discovered my submissive streak, but hey, everyone is different.
