Look younger than my age?

[Anonymous]

I'm in my 30's but I look like I'm 16 whenever I go out guys that are old enough to be my dad or uncle always show me interest, which is uncomfortable.
For me guys my age like up to 28-33 don't show any interest at all unless its social media in person no it makes me feel like they look at me and say oh no she has low self esteem, no confidence looks 16 I'm not messing with that.
But with the older men its like hey I don't care about all of that I'm here to groom you into what I want you to be. They don't say it to me but the way they come to me make me feel that way
Is it my insecurities, am I being paranoid or is it something behind it?

Yeah same. I only usually get compliments on my appearance from older ladies. I kinda like it though. 😏

Maybe with those older guys it's their paternal instinct kicking in and they wanna protect you or something like that? That could also be the reason guys your age aren't as attracted to you.

Wow that is something, I also didn't have my father in my life so it could be the daddy issues attracting me to them as well. Not trying to be to personal but do you ever date the older women?

I think you’re reading into this a bit much. Why do guys ten years older than you seem like your dad and if you’re close to 30 how are they grooming you?

[Asker]

Because I don't look 30 that's the thing I look like a young girl so when men older then 30 only talk to me it seem like there only looking at the little girl in me.

I understand, hmm 🤔 and you’d prefer people your age?

[Asker]

I'm not looking for anyone because i know i have a lot to work on within myself. But its uncomfortable when men that age want my number and I'm not interested. I was just looking for peoples feedback on what's going on with that. I do have daddy issues so its making me feel like is it that or something deeper in my life or are they just wanting a younger women.

If you have daddy issues it’s entirely possible you’re feeding their attraction somehow.
