Ever since I got involved with an older woman, my standards changed

This might sound weird, but ever since I got involved with an older woman a year ago, I haven't looked at dating the same way. I was 19 and she was 28.

Before that, I was mostly attracted to women around my age. But after experiencing the confidence, maturity, and energy of someone older, it's like something permanently shifted in my brain.

Now whenever I'm interested in someone, I catch myself comparing them to that experience. It's not even about looks anymore. It's the way older women communicate, carry themselves, know what they want, and don't play unnecessary games or dramas.

My friends joke that I got "converted" after one experience, and honestly, they're probably not entirely wrong. Sobrang sarap putangina, lalo kapag ramdam na ramdam mo yung loob ni mommy.

Anyone else feel like one person completely changed your type? Or am I just permanently biased now?
