How do you deal with being attracted to younger women?
These comments are nuts. And that post title is written as if being attracted to someone younger is some sort of terminal fucking disease. So oddball. Perhaps because I only tend to hang out or want to be around atypical people no matter their age, I’ve never found any of this insanity they are talking about to be true. And here, I am considering “attracted” as friends too, not just romantically.
If I were single, I’d date anyone 22 and up without a second thought1. Personality matters so, so much more to me than age (as long as everyone is of legal age). And shared interests, attraction. The rest is fairly irrelevant to me.
Look, people don’t become a different species when they get older. I find this idea so damn weird. Like, come on, I enjoy most of the same things now as I did at 20. I’m not some completely different person. And I’ve found that is true of most people. Or at least the ones I’m interested in getting to know2.
I suspect what’s happening in that thread is men desperately white-knighting in an attempt to not seem creepy, where “creepy” has been wholly defined by feminists attempting dating market competition elimination — and succeeding in spades.
Me, I don’t give a fuck. Obviously.
- I’d consider someone younger, but she would have to be truly exceptional. Because I do believe a lot of people change significantly between 18-21 or so.
- And to those who say, “You just want to date hot younger women!” Brothers, sisters, be calm; I dated a 38-year-old when I was 24 and would’ve dated a 45-year-old when I was 25 if she’d said yes. I just do not care as long as there is compatibility.
