A woman's theory on what age of man she should be dating changes a lot. We make up silly algorithms as to why we can date someone who is 26 but not 25. My theory used to be stay away from anyone under 25-26. WHY? Well of course because they've been out of school for a couple years and have some sort of grasp on life. Yeah, that theory is based on nothing, and is totally wrong.
New theory... Guys in their mid-late 20s are convinced every girl they meet is looking for a husband. They don't want to make a commitment of any kind even a second date, because in 6 months they might be somewhere else (or at the same place talking yet about where they might be in 6 months). But guys who are in their earlier 20s (23-24ish) haven't reached this fear yet, so are at least open to dating.
This was the story I gave Rosie when she was distraught over her recent hottie only being 23. She replied with a hesitant, "yah, that kinda makes sense."
I spent the rest of my weekend pondering these theories and the 20 something male species. I started thinking out loud to my other roommate and came to the conclusion that guys aren't really datable at any age. Women come up with these theories to explain why they haven't had a successful relationship and Men live up to these theories because it's not the right person.
Girls... you're gonna keep running into that guy who refuses to commit because maybe in 6 months or a year he might travel or get a new job or bake a cake, UNTIL you meet the one who won't care if he's moving tomorrow, you are just too fabulous to pass up. OK... if he's moving tomorrow, lets be honest, it's probably not gonna work out, but I blame Hollywood for putting that silly idea into my head :)
