I am mature and serious about finding a long term relationship. I recently joined eharmony and most of the matches I find appealing are 26 -28. I will these men take me seriously? I am 22

Yes. You should have no trouble getting serious attention from men that age.

Men being 4 to 6 years older than their love interests is common.

Yeah....I don't think you'll have any problems there. Your more likely problem will be avoiding attention (if you don't want it) from men 36-38 (or older).

I wish you lots of luck.

Can I ask why you're using eHarmony? I may be looking back, a long way, with rose coloured glasses but the world seemed full of available men when I was 22. Has the world turned yet again in a romance ruining way? I don't know if this makes me feel better or worse!?

Perhaps the OP finding matches in the 26 -28 year age range most appealing is an insight into why she is using eH.

I think the 22 to 27 transition is a timeline many men 'grow up' quite a bit. They go from student party mode to getting settled into career and adult life.

I have no problem meeting guys, the problem is meeting quality guys with their act together who are respectful and looking for more than a hook up.

Well, maybe, but I remember there being so many 22 to 27 year olds, and whenever I go out now the world seemed stuffed to bursting with them. I guess I'm surprised that 20somethings would use a dating site and wondered how the world had changed.

It makes me feel personally, a little less sad and globally a little sadder that it's not even easy out there for the kids!

IMO that totally fits with why you are finding your 26 - 28 year old matches the most appealing. I'll guess 28 is the top of the age range you are receiving matches on.

Everything is done online these days. You can find everything from groceries to you name it on the internet. Why not dates?
