d'Arthez Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 yeah, private part is what matters in men anyway. The brain doesn't work regardless of age. I must have apparently grown some boobs and a vagina then. Always wondered what it would be like to be a woman. 1
carhill Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 yeah, private part is what matters in men anyway. The brain doesn't work regardless of age. Yep, pretty much.
threebyfate Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Let me make sure I get this straight darling... You find the idea... distasteful? May I ask why?I view it as predatory dating behaviour when older women date below 25.
Badsingularity Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I view it as predatory dating behaviour when older women date below 25. Your views are ridiculous and extreme. I am 31 and I just recently married my wife who was 24 on the day of the wedding. Now 25. We are both very happy and have been together for almost 5 years.

OpenBook Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah, 22 is a little young. His - er - brain isn't fully developed yet.
carhill Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 LOL, when is that supposed to happen? Regardless, I don't think ES is angling for a mind-fµck. She's after a good time.
Alma Mobley Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I met my now husband when he was 23 and I was 34. He pursued me despite the age diff and my hesitance. We married almost 3 years later and now have a wonderful young son. I had no idea I was a predator! 3
Badsingularity Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I view it as predatory dating behaviour when older women date below 25. Care to elaborate? There are thousands and thousands of normal people in relationships with people below 25. 1
Radu Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I am considering going on a date with a 22 year old. He is introspective, smart and cute. He also keeps repeating that he is after a relationship despite the age and is not into anything casual. I am 33. Bad idea? No, go for it but keep your eyes open if you don't want a ONS or FWB.
Star Gazer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Gross ES. You didn't have that reaction when Hokie dated a woman 16 years older than him. Why are you applying a different standard to ES? And why are you using such strong language ("gross"), instead of explaining why you think it's a bad idea? 1
Star Gazer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 All I have to say is Ashton and Demi... That's a horrible example given how disastrously that relationship ended for Demi.
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah, I am kind of iffy about it. He would probably want me to go clubbing all the time. He is done with school, he is an artist (painter). I generally don't go under 25 (and even that is kind of pushing it for anything serious). I may go out with him once. I am still not quite ready for a relationship anyway.
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 Star, googling Ashton and Demi now
Kamille Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah, I am kind of iffy about it. He would probably want me to go clubbing all the time. So? Don't go if you don't feel like it.

Author Eternal Sunshine Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 OK, I see TBF has more of problem with him being under 25 than with the age difference itself.
manup Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I am considering going on a date with a 22 year old. He is introspective, smart and cute. He also keeps repeating that he is after a relationship despite the age and is not into anything casual. I am 33. Bad idea? Putting off sex for awhile is the best way to see if he's genuine.
Star Gazer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 OK, I see TBF has more of problem with him being under 25 than with the age difference itself. Personally, I wouldn't date under 30 if I were you, but I still take issue with the way she responded ("gross" and , really not necessary). 2
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 I have never in my life dated anyone that's more than 2 years older than me. I have dated up to 7 years younger so far. I generally prefer younger, but not more than 2-3 years.
threebyfate Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Personally, I wouldn't date under 30 if I were you, but I still take issue with the way she responded ("gross" and , really not necessary).And your opinion of my posts matter?
kaylan Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 If you wanna have fun, by all means go for it OP. But dont expect to find a serious boyfriend no matter what this dude says. When the age difference gets pretty large, guys write off chicks over that point...especially when attractive women closer to his age are available and plentiful. Go on the date, but dont get all these expectations from what he says. Have an open mind and be willing to accept whatever outcome as you get to know him and figure out if his intentions are what he says. What I am concerned about however is that you keep getting into hook up situations or situations that appear like they dont have a high chance of leading to a long term relationship. We know you want a great guy to be with long term, but you keep getting drawn into potential flings. If this ends up being a fling how will you feel after? By all means, have fun, but be mindful about what you truly want and dont settle.
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 K, I want a LTR eventually, but presently, I am just not ready... therefore those "non-relationship" situations are more appealing to me.
d'Arthez Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 K, I want a LTR eventually, but presently, I am just not ready... therefore those "non-relationship" situations are more appealing to me. A damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of situation. Just go with your instincts then. Personally if I had been in that situation as a 22-year old, and the woman involved was not ready for something longterm, I would have hoped she would have given it a miss. Mind you, I am not into anything casual.
