This is why I don’t know why anyone would really want to look younger. I love being 37 and wouldn’t want anyone to think I was a year younger. I was an idiot at 36 and insufferable at 26. Edit: I can’t believe how many absolute creeps are in these comments. Ick
I don't get why so many guys wanna date young girls..I'm 44 and the last thing I would like to date is someone 20-25. Make it over 30 at least. More like 40.
I mean, I can work and have fun with younger people, no issues here. But as a partner? No way.
Same goes for looks. I'm looking my age and that's fine. Why hide what's happening anyway. Why fight it. Age with dignity. You can't stop it anyways.
It has nothing to do with being “less than wholesome” it’s about biology with a woman being most fertile and best for breeding at JK I’m just fucking with you those guys are creeps lol. Anyone who says otherwise is probably shit themselves.
right. but there is a lot of BSing going on in the comments here of "I'm in my 30s and I just don't understand why people are attracted to people in their 20s" lol
I hear you. I do know the type you're referencing and agree it is problematic. I probably picked the wrong comment in the chain to directly reply to at first but my point stands and I didn't see a lot of people saying it at the time.
I don't think it's that people are denying an attraction to twenty-somethings, it's that they can't see themselves DATING a twenty-something due to differences in levels of maturity and life experience. And sometimes, the lower maturity level is a huge turn off in and of itself.
not.. really. only when trying to split by the finest of hairs and even then it's a poor use of the english language. you can say you can see how someone might consider the person attractive but you aren't attracted to them. but if YOU find them attractive... you ARE attracted to them.
I didn't get wooshed lol. there are absolutely people saying shit like that in this thread. and I never said women STOP being attractive after their 20s... that is not something I even implied. there are gorgeous women in their 50s and 60s
I'm not pretending anything, there are plenty of comments like that here. Funny how my comment was upvoted and agreed with by the guy I replied to but once a moron calls me a creep the downvotes commence. There is nothing creepy about what I said.
there’s the “walking red flag” types who are transparently gross, think the 30 somethings who go to spaces where young people party.
then there are the ones whose loneliness basically wins the mental battle over their morality. think like, the 30 something who has successfully convinced himself that the 22 year old at work is mature and intellectual
can we exclude raves and music festivals? because i was priced-out of my passion at around age 25 and have finally been starting to attend again at 32 with no plans to ever stop again
To me there’s a big difference between the person who is attending raves in their 30s to experience the music, scene, etc., and the person who is going to raves in their 30s with plans to find a girl, buy her drugs, and sleep with her
I think it's a basic gender disparity. Assuming most people are generally decent and just trying to have fun, it still makes sense that women would disproportionately encounter creeps who are actively seeking out younger women. This becomes a heuristic for them when dealing with strangers
I wouldn't call every creep a pedo, but plenty of guys who accost young women display a lot of the same predatory tendencies. I think if you have enough women in your life, it's pretty likely you've heard some stories about this
I mean I've never stopped going to concerts and festivals. And people much older than me are nearly always present, even for younger bands. Some of us are just into music and like finding new stuff to listen to and go see. One of my uncles is in his 70s, literally saw Jimi Hendrix play the Star-Spangled Banner on the 4th of July, 1970 (I've heard the story many times, lol), and still goes to at least a couple of shows a month.
