Have you ever lost interest in the type of people you used to like before?

At the age of 22, my 23 year old boyfriend was the OLDEST man I’ve ever been very attracted to.

I always liked them 1-2 year younger than me and my boyfriend was always jealous when I was around men my age or younger.

After break up with him, I dated a few young men and figured out, while they are cute and interesting, I just already had probably one of the most mature counterpart of them and he still ended up disappointing me, so I totally lost interest in younger men, men my age and have been attracted to men 10 + year older than me, which is very unusual for me, because at 16 I liked boys 14-17, at 18, I was attracted to 16-20, at 22, I was attracted to 18-23 and I was just always more attracted to the younger ones than older ones.

It’s been like a surprise for me to be choosing older men over younger ones, which I’d choose in the blink of an eye, in the past.

I feel like my ex totally changed my preferences on men.

And while I was very happy with him, and loved being his girlfriend, he still failed me, which I blame to his youth and I guess, that’s why I have been attracted to older men these days.

P. S I am still sexually attracted to younger men 18-25. But since I am not acting on my sexual attractions and want a relationship based on emotional connection, I’ve been avoiding men 18-30 these days. I am only friends with them.
