As promised this is my follow up Take to my other one which details why I like older women Why I Prefer Older Women Over Younger This one is largely about young women in their 20s. Again, I am aware that “not all” young women are like this, and I know some great ones in real life and right here on GaG who I have talked to, but I do not think these gems are the majority. So here are my reasons for why I largely am not attracted to younger women.
They tend to misread/misinterpret things
Younger women tend to have the super annoying habit of misreading/misinterpreting things. They will either read too deep into something you said and get the completely wrong message out of it, or they will jump to conclusions because they did not properly comprehend you or your words. They already decide they're going to put their feelings before facts and logic, and that’s not something I have a lot of tolerance for. Even worse when girls think almost everything a guy says or does means he's into her.
This is excruciating for a man like me at my age and makes it very difficult to converse with the majority of younger women. I never have this issue with other guys or women my age or older, just the younger ones.
What makes it worse is that society teaches young women that it’s perfectly okay if they want to be in their feelings about something you said where there is absolutely no ill-will in it. And since society says it’s okay, a lot of times younger women will choose to be upset or offended because they know people are going to say they have a right to be. I don’t have time for that nonsense. A man like me wants a serious connection with a mature woman he can actually talk to. If I tell you something, take it for what it is. Do not misread me.
Young women often pretend innocence
This is something I deeply despise. A lot of young chicks out there pretend to be sweet, pure, or innocent to the world when they are often quite devilish, and they know this and take pride in it. They put on this pretense because they know people show them love, honor, and glory simply because they are young and female.
Women will hail them as being splendid up-and-coming young women who deserve respect and special treatment. Men bow down to these girls and want to be nice and give them special treatment too because they’re attracted and want sex with them, and they are also afraid of them. Young women already know all of this, they know how men are and they know how the world views them, and they simply use it to their advantage, even when they are devilish towards others.
They can be the ones who do wrong, or try to portray someone they hate as being a bad person by trying to get others to hate them too, and they know that most people will side with them, especially very simpy men. And all the while they will pretend innocence to the world. The worst part is that even if people know how bad she really is, they will still smile in her face and chat with her, and even still Like her posts on social media. That’s a bunch of falseness I want nothing to do with.
They have a tendency to create friction and awkwardness
By nature women are more socially nervous than men and even suffer from social anxiety more, but this is 5x worse in younger women. I understand that this is an issue in the female species so I won’t knock that too much, but it can cause problems because often times females blame their awkwardness and self-consciousness on guys if they’re in a social situation with them.
By friction and awkwardness I mean in the way young females tend to read too much into small details and get wrong perceptions from something you say or do. Like they will think you’re trying to make moves on them just because you were friendly or you said something that they got a completely backward interpretation out of. Then the next time you guys cross paths or are in the same room, they will try to act like you did something wrong and want you to feel like it. This is creating friction and awkwardness from something that should’ve never even been seen as bad to begin with, for both themselves and the guy.
Then the girls will go around twisting a story and telling people he was “weird” or did something wrong that he really did not do wrong at all, hoping to damage his image or at least other people’s perceptions of him. And sadly, people will listen to her most times. This is one of the reasons why so many dudes of today feel like it’s a bad idea to talk to females, because they either know or have experienced them behaving badly like this. And then these girls wonder why guys won’t interact with them anymore.
Will only respect a guy based on how he looks
This is a strong point that a female user on GaG actually made, and I won’t name her in case she may worry about getting backlash, since women have a tendency to hate other women who tell the truth about their gender. But her point is similar to what I’ve been saying for years and it especially applies to younger women.
By nature women care more about looks than men do. They pay very close attention to appearance in not only themselves but of course other women, and even in men. And contrary to what they might say, they care much more about physical attractiveness in men than vice versa. Looks matter a hell of a lot to women. Even if they tell you they don’t, never believe that. Women often lie about this because they don’t want to offend the other person, especially if he is a guy.
Young females are often extremely prejudiced about who they will regard or respect just based off someone’s appearance alone. If you are a guy - or even another girl for that matter - who is not particularly attractive or seen as a social outcast, these girls often will treat you with less respect, and especially if she herself is considered very beautiful and has been put on that pedestal all her life by parents and people in school. In private some girls might be really cool with you and like talking to you, but in front of the world she will act differently. Like she’s either embarrassed to be seen with you, or like it’s out of place for you to be talking to her.
This kind of treatment towards others is extremely unattractive to me in turn, and I don’t want to be connected to any young female who behaves this way.
Less maturity
And of course a very big reason why I don’t prefer younger women is that they are simply less mature. The group that claims the most maturity often times has it the least, and no matter how many statistics or psychological and biological research studies there are, I do not buy it that girls mature faster than boys. Let alone any idea that a 20-something year-old girl’s maturity matches that of a man my age or older or would make her more eligible to date us. In fact that’s insulting. And contrary to statistics, young women's reactions/responses to people, situations, etc. can often be quite childlike.
For me as a man nearing 40, I see nothing significantly mature about a girl in her 20s, and definitely not more than her male peers. The genders are simply immature differently, in different areas. That doesn’t mean that a 21 year-old girl is more mature because she doesn’t do some of the immature things that a 21 year-old boy does, because she still has her own immature ways that a man of my age finds humorous or shows me how inexperienced she is. I understand that they’re still growing and learning about life - which is fine, they are supposed to, but for me personally I don’t have the time or patience for being there in a young girl’s life as a lover or even a daddy figure, who is still finding her way and learning (hopefully) the things I already learned long ago.
Those are my main reasons why I don't prefer younger women. There are more, like how they are easy to influence, are less courageous, and arrogant, but going into them would just make this Take extremely long.
