Why do so many girls, of my age, (22) on dating sites want men between the age of 25 and 30?
I thought that was because the younger ones are generally only after sex, (not ready for commitment)

Social maturity and money is the simple answer to your question.
I thought that was because the younger ones are generally only after sex, (not ready for commitment)
They're both horrible assumptions to make of someone. I want a relationship with someone that I can connect with just as much (actually I would say more) than the sex.

You know, given the alarming things I've heard about what porn has done to the sexual expectations of guys in their 20s, I'm glad I'm old.
They may be assumptions, but they're true in a whole lot of cases.
Older men often prove to be more mature as they've 'grown out' of the culture of sleeping around on lads holidays etc. Sad, but so often true. Doesn't mean you shouldn't give younger guys a chance, but if you're asked to state your preferences on a website then why not put it?
Because it lowers the self-belief of people with already poor self-belief .
Without meaning to sound harsh, why should that stop a woman from stating her own personal preferences?
A lot of women prefer older men. A lot of men prefer younger women. There's really nothing sinister about it.
I know it's not sinister, it's their prerogative. But as I said before it lowers the self-belief of people with already low self-belief.
And not being as interested in sex as you are the emotional connection already makes you sound like a good catch!
Science often says that women mature faster than men, therefore some women might prefer to target somebody who is already more likely to be on the same level as them in terms of maturity. Alternatively, maybe they feel more protected by an older guy. None of these reasons should lower your self-belief.
I dont believe that yet,maybe physically,if maturity is subjective there is no way to know that,how do you meassure maturity,in fact girls around my age in high school were dating much older guys who were already taken and only there to take advantage of them,this is not maturity to me.
Well I guess it just depends on your own personal experiences.
I've found it to be true in a lot of cases, I have to say. Several slightly older guys often tell me that they were idiots in their 20's and messed girls around etc.... and of all the couples I know, the happiest ones are the ones in which the guy is a few years older.
Again, personal experiences, but I believe in it.

Neco, you don't tell people you're 'unemployed', it sounds better if you say 'between jobs' or something, or 'working on some xyz projects' (xyz projects being something you're really working on - eg your music or art classes or whatever!!)
Yeah, 'unemployed' can end things quickly, especially if the person has a job and 'traditional' interests/views on life...
If they're in financial troubles and looking for someone with money, it's better if they end things quickly, no? You can meet others then...
OceanMist, if you met those women on a dating site, do you have 'friends' as one of the options ticked? Because you might want them as friends while they might want a prince who adores them and feels attracted to them??
It may just be a 'mis-alignement' of expectations!!
A girl can 'feel' if a guy is really attracted or not (though with shy guys that may be a bit more difficult, but even shy guys can brave up if there's a connection!!) So, just check other girls - and maybe meet up with some group as friends, on meet-up or something? It's easier if you're seeing or at least friends with other people!!
