Teenage Girls and Older Guys.?

I know this is the age old question but why do alot of teneage girls like older guys even if the are (not to sound arrogant) not up to par with the guy their age? Like a this girl know. She dates this guy that about 2 year or 1 1/5 year older than her. The guy those not dress good and he is not even like really popular in his grade. He also treats her bad (cheat on her, hell I went to party's and dances with her because he did not want to go with her) it was like saying put it in your mouth but don't bite. Her friends even know that she can do better And alot of younger girls like me that are like 12-13 1/5. But im 15 1/5 and I don't go that young. So why do teenage girls go with older boys even if they can do better with a guy their own age?

    How much older? Most girls matured faster, so they may want a slightly older male. But there are limits to how much older. It can cross the line to where the law will step in.

    The second half of the question. Many woman think its "right" for a man. no matter what his age, to treat her like dirt. No one, male or female, should be treated like that.

    Well, I'm 15 and my guy is 20. It's not like he's bad or anything. He is just so much more mature than any other guys. He has a good job, he gets good grades. I know that it's illegal but it's not like we sleep together or anything. I started liking him because he was someone I didn't see every day. Some girls just like bad boys. We all go through that stage. Sure we might be able to do better but it's all about trying out new things. We think older, hmm, might be fun. Plus since girls tend to mature faster than boys, we go for older guys to balance that out, even if he isn't the best choice. I'm happy with my guy, he doesn't treat me like that so it's different. Mostly it's just a stage.

    I totally do - I have no intrest in guys younger then me what so ever. Its not good or bad it just is what it is. Girls mature faster then guys do - so chances are that if your 17 you may have the same maturity level as a guy whos like 19 or 20. But this veries from person to person of course.

    Heather: I find that the only mature "women" are the ones that speak not from ignorance, but from rational and logical thinking. They do not make such empty generalizations. If you honestly believe that all women are on some sort of elevated plateau of maturity, you are mistaken, as I have come into contact with many girls, such as my ex gf, who lacked maturity.

    But to answer the question... Girls tend to gravitate towards older guys for a maturity and security standpoint. There may be plenty of guys their own age who are capable of managing the type of relationship they want, but they are usually unaware that such guys exist.

    i like older guys a lot of times because i like more mature guys who have their head on right=D

    but to tell the truth, i personally just go by whether i get along with the guy well enough=D ... which the guy usually ends up being olderXDXDXD

    well i think age dont matter. the girl u were talking might be insecure and stays wit him thru harsh treatment bcuz shes afaid of being alone. not all teens are attracted to older men. everyone is into somethine else. i am a teen and i am with someone 5yrs older then me and we're good.

    im a teenage girl. and i dont go for older guys cos there older, if i date them its because i like them. so she mite actually see something in him, or she might just have a misconception of "cool" and maybe she wants to be known and gain a reputation for being with older guys, to make the younger guys realize what they cnt have.

    well because we "ASSUME" they are older so they will be more mature! HAHAHA if that was only the truth! and that we think its cool at that young age, and then when we are about 23 we finally realize guys will never mature!

    it is true that girls do mature faster than boys.
