If you're going to date a woman who is more than 2-3 years younger/older than you, be aware that she may not be into you for you.

I'm talking 5+, 7+ years. If you're an 18yo and dating a 25yo, you're probably not going to have a successful relationship. If you're a 45yo and dating a 32yo, you're probably not going to have a successful relationship.<br><br>If you're an 18-21 year old male, the majority of women in this age range are not attracted to you as an individual. They are attracted to the idea of you. They are attracted to the idea of having sex and making babies with a man, but not actually being with you. This is why women of this age range date older men and settle for whoever they can get after they've aged out of the "hot" phase. They'll never be able to see past their own ego. It's the way they are wired. And they'll never love you for who you are. Ever.
