Same here. Aside from who I know at college, most of the people that gravitate to me are 20 to 50 years my senior. As a kid I always talked with the adults at parties, and routinely dated people several years older than me. Not just for IQ but maturity and experience.
One of my favorites right now is a group of about a half dozen retired male academics and artists in their 70s that have stayed in touch with each other since college. Most mornings I can find them at the local organic co-op grocery store/restaurant, and it's fun to sit and have coffee with them for a couple hours and talk, without a boring moment coming up.
In college I have managed to find a good number of people my age that are rather fun to hang out with too of course, particularly those which are very athletic, highly intelligent, affectionate, and wonderfully irreverent/playful. We talk, have group massages, and do extreme sports (or simply climb trees) together.
