May, December
I’ve noticed a trend lately in my circle of friends. Those of us who are dating have all been out recently with someone at least a few years our junior. Based on our experiences, I thought I would throw you younger guys a bone, and let you in on some things that you don’t want to do when you’re trying to score with a woman in her mid-thirties.
1. Don’t say: “I’m into older women.” For one, we don’t think of ourselves as older women. Also, this statement loosely translates as “I’ve heard older women are good in bed.” While this is absolutely true, and may very well be the reason you’re hitting on us, it’s best to be more subtle. “Older” women dig subtlety.
2. Don’t act surprised when you find out how old we are. It’s not actually flattering. We don’t look young for our age, we look our age. If other people our age look older, they look old for our age. It’s really not the other way around.
3. Don’t make comments about how you have years and years ahead of you to “settle down” (a.k.a. have kids). Whether or not we want babies, it’s not polite for you to revel in your lack of a biological clock. This will annoy the woman in question, at best.
4. If you’re buying/serving her an alcoholic beverage, don’t skimp on quality. Unless she’s into ironically sipping 8 balls and tall boys, go for the good stuff. If you spring for top-shelf liquor, premium beer, nice wine, etc., even if it’s only one drink, you’ll make a good impression.
That’s all for now, boys. I know a lot of hot women who are wandering around the dating scene right this minute, waiting for a guy like you with all the right moves to join in the fun. Good luck!
