PRO: The older guy has practice in the bedroom.
Your mature man is more likely to know exactly what he wants, both in and out of the bedroom, and has hopefully mastered the art of giving you multiple Os. Jessica, 27, who dated a guy 11 years her senior, says, “There was no awkwardness, no fumbling — everything seemed really easy from the beginning. And it was always good!”

CON: The young guy never sleeps.
If your boyfriend is new to the working world, he may not understand why partying ‘til all hours no longer fits into your lifestyle. Amy, 35, says, “I dated this younger guy and after a while, his party-all-the-time attitude got annoying. He’d call me in the middle of the night and got mad when I didn’t feel like chatting at 2 a.m.!”

CON: The older guy doesn’t know Buffy from Britney.
It’s not that he doesn’t enjoy clubbing with you, it’s just that bumping and grinding doesn’t really become him anymore. (And you should be grateful for that). Lucinda, 29, who dated a guy 13 years her senior, realized how different their pop culture worlds were when she brought him home to meet her parents. The weirdest part of their relationship? “He bonded WAAY too well with my dad over pop culture from the sixties.”
