Let me explain more clearly before you jump to conclusions at the title: Of course I am not going to judge the maturity of a guy in his 20s compared to the maturity of a guy in his late 30s or 40s.
I am a woman in my 20s and live in a big metropolitan area. I feel like a lot of the guys I seem to run into around my age just don't strike me as all that mature.
Contrast that with some of the guys I know at work who are late 30s/40s (by the way, I would never consider anything with any of them, to get that out of the way): A lot of them married in their mid to late 20s and have stable family lives, and strike me as good, empathetic, considerate people. Yes I did not know them back then, but even hearing about them talk about back then, they seemed to have an air of maturity that I don't seem to see as much with guys my age today.
Am I being unfair to hold up some of the guys I meet against what some of these older men may have been like? I am trying not to compare them to what these older guys are like now, but at the same time, I feel like they seem more loyal, were interested in long-term relationships and marriage, don't have this idea of "there is always something better out there" that seems to cripple many millennial men and women, etc. FYI I am a working professional who does well for herself, so this is not me looking to "leech" off of someone.
I know asking on this messageboard may not be the best place because there are a lot of bitter people, but let's see anyway...
