Who says you have to date older broads? Till you're like 35 you can still date mid to late 20 somethings and not have it be that awkward. It's more common than you think. I see it all the time, especially here. As long as you have your shit together, that is. If you're going nowhere in life or living with your parents or something, then you're just Creepy McCreepster trying to go for that age group.
i personally couldn't be 30+ and date an 18-19 year old..fuck, i can't even do it now and i've had my share of dimes at that age. just so fuckin annoying/full of games it's not worth it.
