[...] little more than a year ago, I wrote a post about age differences, explaining why at my age, I preferred to date women over 25 versus women under 25. Now let me explain why all of that was a bunch of [...]

I thought this was interesting but I don’t know… I think most women still have ideas about who they want to be regardless of what age they are. It’s just when you pass 30 you don’t incorporate so many other people’s ideas about who you should be into your equation. I gotta say that you are right about the everything in the 20s is wiped away. That whole decade was a bunch of mess that I am glad is over.

When you get my age you will realize the the difference between a 25 yo and a 30 yo is really small, but I digress! You will look back and realize how much you really didn;t know

As usual, I had no idea that’s where you were going, but that’s a good thing. Gotta disagree with a few things. while 27-30 may have a better, cleared vision of who they are, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are exempt from doing stipid ish. Unfortunately, maturity and sense of self comes with time and it differs in every woman. You can’t put a number on it. I know a ton of 27-30+ folks still stuck in undergrad mode. Sigh.

On the other hand, I agree that age 26 is a transition age. Two weeks after my 26th, I became extremely depressed, and I even dated a younger guy. Bad move totally. I’ll be 29 nextweek and I wouldn’t dream of veing here I was then, now.

Very good post!
I agree with about 90% of it. Particularly, age 26 being the transitional age. My life is nothing right now if not transitional. I just find it a little odd when a successful, older woman is dating a guy almost a decade younger than she. I get the enjoying the good parts of each other thing, but to be serious to the point of meeting parents and children, I don’t know. It makes me wonder if she really was who she thought she was, or was she still dreaming?
