Here at College Candy, we have nothing against dating older men. In fact, we’re pretty into it. They have money, jobs, wisdom, that sexy older-man look, money…

Anyway, one of the older celebs whose allure we’ve never been able to figure out is Hugh Hefner. And apparently his new ex-fiance didn’t like him that much either. Crystal Harris, the 25-year-old model who was set to tie the knot with Hefner Saturday, June 18, apparently called off the wedding after a “change of heart,” according to Hefner’s Twitter. Or possibly a change of contact lens prescription, I don’t know.

If you’re looking for a fling, this is NOT the type of relationship for you, unless otherwise explicitly stated.  (And then you’re saying to yourself, “What?! You’re 35 and you’re NOT trying to settle down?”)

Older men are also more likely to come with baggage — like ex-wives and/or children.

Also, I always have this lingering fear that they will somehow find me, or the things I do, or like, or say, to be utterly childish.  I always have this suspicion lurking in the back of my mind that they’re saying to themselves, “Oh how naïve and cute she is.” Read More »
