I'd have to agree with the rest of the postings on here. there's a huge difference between 17 and 21: In terms of the things that interest you, the things you look for in a relationship, etc. etc.

However. I've always liked womyn older than me, when I was 17 I always tried to pick up chicks in their 20's. I dunno how they fealt about it but I had some o' the best times o' my life, it worked out pretty well; for the short term at least. Because at 17 there's a lot of things you gotta learn. However you gotta learn them sometime, an' with someone.

So I guess it's not a bad thing, or an uncomon thing. follow your heart
