When I was a teen I used to date guys older than me (around 4 years) because I could actually talk to them and they'd get it.
I once dated a guy who was 6 years older and hated it. It's not the maturity part that I find unapealing it's the fact that they want something serious. I find that uncomfortable. I mean that dated told me he wated to wait for me to finish highscool so that we could get married. Beeerk!
After my ex boyfriend I broke my habit to date guys 4 years older and now I'm with a guy who's one year older than me. It's refreshing, it's fun, him as a person is very free and independant, I like it.
Sure, the part with stability... I get some sort of it, now and then. I think that at this moment in my life (true for the past also) I value much more freedom than stability and the constraints of a relationship.
