Age not only means nothing, it can be a boon to your game if you're older. A lot of women - younger women - have a thing for older men. I firmly believe this is something to do with the way they relate to their fathers. We're talking deep Freudian shit here.

Not even just younger women. I'm 45, and had a relationship with a woman five years younger than me who looked about 25. She liked to call me 'daddy'. Revealing, if not also slightly creepy.

When I was in my mid-thirties, I dated a girl for a couple of years who was only 19 when I met her. She'd confessed to me she had a crush on me. She turned out to be crazy, but it was nice while it lasted.

Age is a boon, not a barrier. Younger women know older men tend to be more stable in terms of their personalities. Most often, they've sorted their shit out and grown up in a way a lot of us haven't really, even by our early thirties.
