I keep blocking this woman on POF and she keeps on setting up accounts and sending me likes. Is this stalking.

How prevalent are they? Also, would they date a guy in his late 20s?

When in a serious, committed relationship

And if you do have a strong preference, why?

I just wanted to hear people's opinion

There is a negative stereotype that men are slower to grow up and mature when it comes to how they treat the opposite gender.

Personally I know I think and react differently towards women in general compared to how I was in my teens and early 20s. I am more careful about the comments I make, refrain better from starring too long (if she’s attractive), I communicate better if I am interested or not, I make better thought out decisions and I handle rejection better (and reject others better) compared to the younger version of myself

I also know most women hate the feeling of “being used and/or lied to for sex.” If it’s a hook up or fling I’ll be open about my true intentions even if it costs me want. Not to say I was a liar when I was younger. But years ago I would stay tight lipped if I just wanted one thing when the other girl was thinking we would get in a relationship. In retrospect I recognize that was wrong. Nowadays I don’t give false hope.

That of course doesn’t mean I’m perfect. I will continue to make mistakes. However I am more cognizant of how the other gender thinks now. I also am less likely to get caught off guard if a bad gut sense about something.

With that said I’ve have unfortunately encountered a lot of grown ass women in their 30s and even older that still show blatant immaturity. The worse example is how some of them still play dumb if a guy is interested (and woman isn’t) to exploit the friéndzone for attention and benefits.

I would think a grown woman would know better than to do that. It’s not a sex issue but a respect issue. The guy has only so much time, resources and patience to stick his neck out.

He can handle rejection but being friendzoned is extremely insulting. He will usually figure it out faster than a young man and when he does he will feel exploited.

Just meeting older woman who still believe in this crap is insane.

I am in high school. There is a girl that I like with the values that I am looking for. She likes me but I don’t think she’s decided if she’s old enough to be in a relationship yet. She’s rejected every boy that I have heard of that has talked to her, but has treated me the complete opposite. Her friends all know who I am. Should I continue pursuing things or wait a year or two? I really don’t want to screw things up with her.

For things like feet pictures or money to take you on a date and things like this. Just free money basically.
