There are all sorts of people with all sorts of problems and all sorts of stuff they should stick their nose in.
Just be happy and live your live how you see fit, you will always piss someone off.
There are butthurt people of both sexes at all ages, and a woman who isn't having success with dating in her mid-30's is obviously looking for someone else to blame. This is the female version of a MGTOW adherent.
Men only date younger women to be able to control them. It's never a good thing
QED, eh?
99% of women of any age have more control over a man of any age. The power dynamic thing is a lie. Women always hold more power because they are more manipulative, control sex, and can get away with 100x more abusive behavior. Women, at any point in time, can make one phone call and have their man kidnapped by the government and their entire lives turned upside down. A vast majority wouldn't do that, but that's definitely a component of control that men don't have.
Men date younger women, because youth is more attractive on females. In general, and to a certain point, obviously.
@KingslayerC both genders get abused. To say which one is more is impossible cause not everyone reports it.
And nobody should be dating someone just cause they are more attractive. Dating is for people that want a relationship and love. Not just something pretty to stare at
Apple, most of the time it's the much younger woman manipulating the older guy (much of the time, he doesn't care) because she can.
Sorry, I wasn't referring to abuse, that's definitely a mutual thing, I just meant the mental control part of the relationships. And people should be dating for whatever reasons that suit them, using whatever criteria they find important. It's not up to us to determine how adults structure their lives. Forcing people into relationships according to your standards is literal rape and kidnapping.
Disagree. Young women have lots of appeal but being easy to control ent one of em, at least not in my experience. Can’t get those things to sit straight for 5 minutes 😂
@Shamalien starting to realize that men don't even know what controlling behavior is.
And can't even sit still. My old 26 year old ass can't even remember that far back to being so hyper. Im so old to men even tho i haven't even peaked yet 🙃
Some women are very hyper and unpredictable in their 20s. Many actually…
And both sexes exhibit controlling behaviour, an argument could easily be made the other way.
@Shamalien true i was really joking. I had adhd will probably be hyper forever.
And eh it's rarely the same. Men and women seek control for different reasons. Doesn't make either okay but the way men do it is usually socially acceptable so they are getting a pass when they shouldn't
Apple1996 Hey we are almost the same age. My goodness times had changed. Yes girl this 20 year old younger woman wating to date men my age crazy. Woman your age andmine we see a creepy 40 year old trying to date us We scream ewww ahh get away from me. We are more couatious. My guy cousin he is 31 dating a 20 year old creepy.
@Alwayreckles93 for real it's creepy. Men dating younger shows that they are delayed in life. They really should be in therapy and avoiding dating until they can figure out how to pick up someone their own age
Apple1996 I agree girlfriend in favt it should be illegal. Well I mean it is until18 but still they should invent a law if a dude wants to date younger woman they should be put in therapy or mental institution. I hate it when 40 year olds try to start a conversation with me it very very uncomfortable like get the hell away from me. Nasty. I don't get it why can't guys date woman thir own age.
@Alwayreckles93 seen your comment down below about being financial stable. Good for you. These misogynistic men will trap women into financial abuse wayy to often. Best to have your own wealth and not depend on someone else
Apple1996 thank you girl. Yes maybebthis is wht older me want to trap younger woman because they use their money and take advantage of younger woma finacial issues.
@Alwayreckles93 it's because without money these men have nothing to offer. Not a good personality, looks or even good sex.
Apple1996 Exactly, what upsets m the most this men left theirnwife for a much younger woman sad because together they buil their wealth thir struggles their stories. Later fornsome young woman to take over. My best friend from highschool and her ex they had a baby in highschool together got married she work and took carebof the babywill he husband at the time went to med school to become a doctor. Now he lft her for a 22 year old he is 31. My friend she is 30.
It is the women that want control, such ignorance as to why men date younger. We just want fresher, untarnished and better women.
@DarkLegacy lol all y'all men projecting so hard about the control thing. Literally making me die of laughter 🤣
That's a pretty hasty assumption you're making there coming from someone who never even met most of the old men dating young women.
Uhhh go to something like a wedding and tell me again who has the control?
Women control most of the spending in the USA too while men earn the most. It doesn't take a genius to see why that is.
@Juxtapose women are manipulated by society to have big weddings/to have good fashion so obviously they fall into the trap of having spending lots of money on those things. It's more something they feel forced into doing without even realizing that they are being forced. Crazy thing is 90% of the time the money women are spending is going right back to men
@Aiko_E_Lara oh no I've met and been hit on by plenty of creepy old men 😂
Around the world tho? Also, how can I be so sure if they're actually being creepy or they're just genuine but only because they're old, you assume they're being creepy?
Well thinking on it more, I have seen abusive men control women sadly. It's the power dynamics that can depend on a lot of things.
Women and men can get a lot of power.
@Aiko_E_Lara I've traveled/moved a lot but I'm sure in all the places I haven't been there are creeps too. And nah it's not even there age. It's the shit they say to me that's creepy
@Juxtapose yeah exactly it's extremely common for men to be controlling to women. I'm not saying all but there definitely are a lot of relationships young woman/old man that have abusive relationships
@KingslayerC women might have more control in theory but women that don’t understand that they have that power typically fall into the trap of a man controlling their life. Most women under the age of 25-30 , do not know they hold the power in relationships
That still doesn't make it the average unfortunately for you. But if you say you have met the average, why are you still alive? I mean there are also plenty of other old men who didn't really hit on you. But of course you just like to ignore them and focus on those ''creeps''
@kylee2437 then that could also mean it doesn't take an old man to be creepy when dating younger girls because a young man can date younger girls too as well. So if i young legal girl doesn't know their power, that would just basically mean everyone is creepy including young legal guys who date them. Also unlike guys, girls actually do have the controlling power that would basically make them the bigger creep of the two.
@Aiko_E_Lara that’s not the same thing. A younger guy dating a younger girl both have learning opportunities, whereas a man that is older has already learned and knows better. An older guy that has not had kids of his own /marriage of some kind is more likely to be non commitmentable.
And personally I couldn’t care less if older men hit on me, I learned that I prefer a guy around my age because there’s more room to build a foundation, and can also relate to more. I once was a “I want an older man because they are more mature” but the ones that do go for younger typically are not within the mature margins I was looking for
Everybody has learning capabilities and even a younger girl can also be educated and old people can also be ignorant. A young guy who knows that a young girl doesn't know their power can also be manipulative so the point here is that it's not that age. Everybody can be creeps no matter how old or young they are. If you want to speak from your personal preference then speak for yourself.
@kylee2437 i agree with your first point, but very, very strongly disagree with your "age of 25-30" point. Maybe 1% of women that aren't mentally handicapped are aware of that power that they have over males. They've been experiencing it since they hit puberty.
@KingslayerC if that was the truth then women wouldn’t be often manipulated by men. Women get manipulated by men deeper than relationships. Think about it
@kylee2437 you are soo right about the power thing. Younger women are very naive and don't understand this yet.
In my relationship we are the same age, no power issues since we see each other as equals. Probably also helps that my husband isn't one of these guys that only use women for looks/sex and is with me for my personality. Men (especially the older ones) that care so much about beauty/youth end up having a lot of failed relationships since they are getting in them just to use and control women not actually liking who they are as a person.
@kylee2437 right, but men are manipulated by women 100x as often. Men are absolutely suckers. Very few dudes are beyond manipulation from women. Men are mentally weak and legitimately stupid when it comes to women.
@KingslayerC men are manipulated for superficial reasons such as a women’s sexual aspects , meanwhile men manipulate women emotionally
@Apple1996 they have a lot of failed relationships because they don’t actually want a real relationship. They want relationships that lead to no where , and once the relationship stops being the “fun” that they wanted they leave or they cheat
@kylee2437 I agree on the first part, but men are definitely emotionally manipulated too. Women are way better at emotional manipulation anyway. We probably just have different personal experiences, but I've never met a man that had the upper hand in a relationship when it came to manipulation except for one. And the dude acts legitimately like a woman. He's even a stay at home husband. The only one I've ever met.
@KingslayerC but we aren’t talking about normal relationships, we are talking about abusive relationships and men in abusive relationships typically pick women (specifically younger women) that don’t know that they have the power in every situation against men.
I'm talking about relationships, overall. I have no data about abusive men, or women, targeting younger people for control, but it could be that way. Still, the overall point is that even younger women, on average, have more control than men, on average.
And with that being said, I'd have way more control over a 40 year old than a 20 year old. And 1,000x more control over a 40 year old than a 17.9 year old. But all three are groups will still hold more power and will still be better manipulators than I can ever be.
His story doesn't even matter. If he has a life he wants, he's not a loser.
She's single and jealous, which makes her the loser.
This isn't an opinion response, just an objective one, you cannot be a loser while happy.
Men like younger women because they think they will be easier to control. Bless them. 🤦♀️
No lol xD We like them because they look better.
Then i can just say women are salty because they age like milk
It goes both ways. Some women who are unsuccessful dating blame men, and even more men who are unsuccessful blame women.
Honestly this question seems like bait... Get ready for all the comments by incels, misogynistic, ageist and sexist guys bashing women and saying they "hit the wall at 25-30, as usual"...
They feel threatened. Everytime we get a early 20's attractive woman at my work all the older (30-50) ladies start flipping out. It's like being in high school all over again and the mean girls are out in full force.
In short stop worrying about what random women are saying online and live your life. The beauty of the internet is that you don't have engage with people if you don't want to, just ignore her and move on.
LoL. People are gonna talk shit whatever you do in your life. Dude, who cares honestly? Let them talk. I would just laugh at her and ask "Should i take advice from 38 year old hag who is single? I mean your life seems so perfect."
Old hag? Seriously? Wow wel lyour old enough to be my dad! Yes your way way to old for me to date you.
@Alwayreckles93 Old enough to be your dad? im 39... you are 30... I dont know anyone who became dad at age 9 ... and where in my previous comment i said something about dating you? Bit confused. But that was not my point. My point was she is in no position bashing and blaming anyone around her because her own life sucks.
"You'll never meet a hater doing better than you" David Goggins
Wow reading through these comments... the wall sure hurts at full speed...
Didn't read the details because the title is so asinine. To answer, what are you even talking about?
Anyway, for you to even care about that bitter old had on Instagram (if you are giving the full and accurate story) shows that you have some insecurity to work on. Actually, I am getting a lot of insecurity from your post. If you have a hot young thing who cares. Everyone will just see her envy and jealousy. Block button. It works!!
*hag
I'm 39 and I could care less if a guy my age wants a younger woman. I actually want everyone to find people they are happy with so all this cheating, using and betrayal can stop. Which it never will but you know.
Everything between men and women boils down to control. Who feels in control? Women like feeling in control
She is jealous of the girl and resentful of him aging better than her.
That's called "loose pussy energy"
I had an uncle who used to say that living well is the best revenge. I imagine he is doing just that
There's a lot of women here my age or older acting super pathetic and jealous. I wish I had popcorn.
Sounds like she was just a bitter whiny woman. There are lots of broken people who we really don't need to pay any mind.
I find that it is a menopause thing. Older women feel tbar they are useless to men or just a sex toys as they can't get preggers
People in the worst possible situations fine ways to find love.
