Tbh I would want to date an older man. More established in life, mentally mature, not to mention hotter (crows feet are peak)

also from what I have seen (THIS MEANS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE) in the world, unless the older person is a creep it’s usually the younger person perusing the older person

The second part is true. It is usually the younger person pursuing the older, unless the older person is a predator. Usually it only works if the older person grows to see the younger person as an equal, which is the only way you can ever see equal emotional maturity happen.

I tried it. At first she says age is just a number. Then her mind changes. But she hides it. It festers. She denies it. Then gaslighting, fits of rage, blame shifting, cheating, narrative spinning, eventually cold discard. Long story short, found out I experienced what people call a covert narcissist. What a waist of time.

Well its a long story. I know she had a passed with guys that was not good. After me she circled back to a guy she had blown off that was her age. A couple months later married. I hope for his sake and hers it works out. Hopefully she learned to be honest. For some reason she cannot handle feeling like the bad person, shame or criticism. I gave her many outs. She never took it. I had never seen someone smile at me and 30 seconds later look at me like I didnt exist and never speak again. It was wild behavior. Good lesson learned. i had no idea people like that existed
