'I find older men more attractive...'

I was attracted to a guy on the wrong side of 40. Though I am aware of the fact that there is no future with him as he is married, I keep getting attracted to older men. Am I normal?

Dear Sutapa,
There are many women who prefer older guys. They find them more mature and settled and perhaps look for a father-like figure. There is nothing abnormal in falling for an older guy or even marrying one. There are many guys whose wives are younger to them by several years. Your fascination for older men may be due to your maturity, but falling for a married guy will create havoc in his life as he will be indulging in an extramarital affair, so it is better to find someone who is single and ready to mingle.
