22 is a between age for sure. Teens dig you because you're older and would piss off their father. Early 20s chick's are often still looking for the bad boy, or father image, but are also into their own independence and finding direction in life. They don't want to settle, yet.
Personally, I discovered I was hot property in my mid to late twenties when the girls had had their fun and were looking for the guy that would treat them with kindness and respect and just as importantly, the guy that would stay and provide for a family. All at once, boring, career oriented, property owning, nice-guy me, was being asked out by the girls. They saw I had a future. No sooner would one dump me, or me her, and the former girl's friends would begin show interest. From 25 to 29, I went through four girlfriends and had trysts with other women. I milked their biological clocks for everything I could get and made up for the lost time of my teens and early twenties. I 'sowed my wild oats' so to speak. Yeah, I was a dog.
Now I'm divorced and in my mid-forties and my female companions are women who have 'been there, done that' and don't want to repeat the experience. Their kids are older (some your age), their former husbands are boring, they have career and money and don't want a ball and chain guy, but still want sex and companionship. Life is good.
But hey, that is my life, yours may be different.
