I've been single since August now and I'll be 23 in March. I am much more mature than most women my age (men for that matter as well) and I am finding it impossible to find a sophisticated man. I have dated my age and older and it's seeming impossible.

Anyone else have this problem? Is it a trait many look for?

    I was just talking to a guy about this some minutes ago.

    What do you mean by sophistication?


    I am 32. I like me funny, immature guys. Now, I do want a responsible man who pays his bills on time, who has a stable career, etc etc but I am a funny girl myself.. and alot of times- immature. So I definately am attracted to a goofball who can act stupid along with me.

    Oh, I think Humor is a must in anyone.

    Sophistication as i see it would be goal oriented, responsible, enjoys and appreciates all forms of art whether it be written, acted, painted, sculpted ect.), some style and wanting to accomplish something...anything.

    Maybe you have to aim for a higher age of guys you go for. Most guys in their early twenties still want to party and have fun, so maybe you should consider dating sometime in their late twenties.

    I actually date people older than me. I have only dated 2 people my age or close to my age. Just unlucky i guess.

    Where do you meet these men? I've been talking with a friend of mine about my "perpetual singleness", mostly because I know she'll give me good advice, and she suggested that I imagine the "ideal man" -- e.g. what he does for a living, the kinds of things he enjoys, etc., and then going to where I would find that man. For me, I want to eventually earn a DMA (doctor of musical arts) in voice performance, so I would like to date men who have or will have a similar level of education. Am I going to find a man like that at my local bar? Most likely not. Where will I find him? Probably on a college campus. What am I going to do about this? Start taking a couple classes when I can afford them. Will this work? No guarantees, but it sure can't hurt to try.

    Just a thought!
