I'm 26 and dating a guy who's 31. I can't imagine dating someone much younger either…I mean, sure, I've been attracted to younger guys before but dating wouldn't work unless the guy is pretty mature (read most likely in his 30's). Neither one of us has much relationship experience either.

I would assume there would be plenty of women interested in casual dating (especially in their earlier 20's). I wasn't personally, but that's just me. Besides, I wouldn't think your job etc. would matter in a casual relationship unless they were expecting you to pay for everything (but do you really want to be with someone who takes advantage of you like that?) but I could be wrong. I never did the casual dating either by the way so I don't think it's that uncommon to start later in life.
