I don't think I could have a relationship with someone younger than me. I'm more of the submissive person in a relationship, and I just couldn't be with someone who's too much younger than me, especially if he's less mature than me and I have to take care of him. I couldn't deal with it. I need a man who's at least as mature as I am.

I have, ever since I started feeling feelings for guys been attracted to guys much older than me. I suppose my type is 'middle-aged', intelligent and mature. I find it rather difficult to imagine finding myself attracted to anyone around my own age, which I suppose is why it took me quite a while to accept that I am actually gay.
On a moral level, I think this is fine. Love and attraction comes in all shapes and sizes and if it's mutual who should give a damn? BUT, having said that, it's caused me a great deal of pain in other ways, in that I don't really feel like I can be open and honest about it for fear of judgement from others even though I'm comfortable about it within myself. AND also, despite the fact that I find it easy to get on with older guys, people wanting different things at different stages in their lives is always a factor, which can be pretty hard to deal with, I suppose. The disparity in experience of relationships can make it hard to understand how the older party feels sometimes.
HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it's not worth doing, by any means. You just need to be prepared to be challenged.

Though I don't go too extremes, I like younger guys than me AND older guys than me - as well as guys my own age - though what I like about each varies a bit. I do see differences, I just don't have a huge preference over me being the "older" one or me being the "younger" one, or relating to someone that gets all the same childhood cartoon references of being the same age lol.
