snowcones Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I just came across this thread because I posted one similar today. My take is that most of them ask this question out of (respectful) insecurity. He simply wants to know if you're open to him given the age difference. It's almost like a "Mother may I?" (pun intended). You must answer honestly. If you're not into it, then tell him. If you are, then tell him exactly what you want. He, like all men no matter the age, will probably lie and say he is everything you could ever want in a man. That's neither here nor there, since all men do that in the beginning. It's up to you whether you want to give him a chance or not, but definitely don't rely on him to shed light on the situation. He doesn't even know himself. He is just going with it, as young people do. You're going to have to be the rational one.
Author mortensorchid Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 To keep all updated : It's Saturday night now, I figured that everyone had plans this weekend so I was not going to arrange anything with anyone (even though we are still in shutdown) after Thursday. So I responded Thursday night and said it depends on the man. He responded the same and said it would depend on the woman. We talked about some things factual (what each of us does for a living, where we're from, etc.). I'll reach out on Sunday evening once again. 1 1
Author mortensorchid Posted June 3, 2020 Author Posted June 3, 2020 We did have some exchange through the app on Sunday. He asked if I would like I meet and I said yes but keep in mind Tueadays and Thursdays are not good nights for me. He said okay. I'll wait until tomorrow evening then reach out again. 2

Author mortensorchid Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 I reached out tonight (didn't expect he would say let's get together as it's Wednesday) but nothing yet. Here's to hoping...
Author mortensorchid Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 To update: Due to the virus as well as the curfew imposed from the George Floyd protest looters, we decided to not meet on Friday night. Everything is closed as of 8pm. I suggested that we meet on Sunday and we exchanged cell phone numbers. He agreed. 2
Author mortensorchid Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 Hmmm... I texted him today (Sunday) but he had said in a few other exchanges that he had some plans on Sunday during the day that might run into the night. I texted him if he's doing other things we can meet up later this week. No response. Keep waiting another day or two I guess.
Miss Spider Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Kk well I say that since you asked him and he said he couldn’t, maybe the ball is now in his court to let you know when ya’ll can hang out 1

Maybe, but in this case it seems like he's cooling off quickly. My suggestion is to not push...wait to see if he's interested. He already knows she is. See if he calls.

I went on a couple of dates with one and he seemed like a great guy and was a perfect gentleman. Just as men say about younger women, he was unjaded, upbeat, no baggage, a breath of fresh air. I read about a study that showed women tend to go for younger men for the sex putting her pleasure at the forefront, endless stamina, and so on. It's a myth that these older women are helpless targets. For many of them, a hot young buck is exactly what the doctor ordered. Agreed! I like to filter through them and give attention to the ones I feel deserve it Younger men are exactly how you described, unjaded, happy, no baggage, fun. They have not forgotten how to laugh. I find it a complete 180 dating a guy 10 years younger than me to one that is ten years older than me, and for the better. My current bf is 22. I just turned 33. They are perfect for a person like myself who doesn't seek to control anyone nor be controlled. It provides a perfect mix for equal power, at least in my case. Power isnt tipped too far in either direction. Im submissive but older, hes manly but younger As far as hooking up with them. Older men just cannot compete. They seek to make SURE you are completely satisfied, almost as if they care about that more than their own pleasure. Not all are going to be this way, but a large chunk of them are. I was never gone down on until I started dating younger guys 3 years ago. EVERY single one wants too. When it comes to just hooking up with them you have to be careful with their feelings though. They could fall harder if they fall. They are also more likely to be the insecure crazy type. As for the original post, "are you into younger men" I ignore unless they are an 8+ lol. Hes most likely only interested in sex. Obviously you guys are already messaging so your into each other, hes trying to beat around the bush without just saying it.
thegreatesthumphrey Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I just caught up to the end of this chain. If you decide to get involved with younger men, you have to bring yourself slightly back to the way you were at that age. Like a meet half way type thing. Their lives move much faster and change quicker. They are not going to be as patient. They have wayyyyy more options in online dating, so if you dont meet fairly soon another girl is willing to do so. Hes more likely to be interested in the girl that is available (not meaning easy). You also have to be unique and witty. If your conversations over the course of two weeks have all been flat-lined, he will lose interest. Dating younger men does have a bit of a learning curve, just like dating in general. Take what you learn from this one and apply it to the next. You have probably lost this guy rn, but you could still potentially get a second chance to renew whatever you had by waiting a month and then messaging him out of the blue. Also, the loss of responses is probably the indicator that it was only sex he was interested in because it became too much work. 1
Ruby Slippers Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 @thegreatesthumphrey, I read a study that showed one of the main reasons women like younger men for sex is that younger men are generally eager to perform oral sex because they want to learn how to do it well and a more experienced woman is the perfect teacher. Win-win 1
Author mortensorchid Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 He canceled last Friday night just as I was about to leave the house. I haven't heard from him since. Moving on. 2

Was thinking this like a lot of these connections would just be chatting for a few days and then one goes poof and that's that. But he did ask me this morning "So, you're into younger guys then?" How to answer that? Well ... I'd be lying if I said I was not attracted to him because he's quite cute. I am looking for a relationship of course, not a hookup. How can I answer this without sounding too desperate, like I am looking for a hookup, etc. yet make him take me seriously enough? "I am interested in things beyond age." Or "Age is just a number." Funny because I was chatting with a 23y.o and had similar experience (chatted then poof, gone). To be honest it surprises me that such young people need dating sites. When I was that age, I was meeting guys left right and centre. The older you get, the more go off the market, so we resort to online. But teenagers? 20s? Why? So much to choose from (in Canadian culture anyways, in my culture they are having babies by 23 lol) Edited June 19, 2020 by Hopeful30
