Search Results: dating younger men

A few nights ago I had a good conversation with a Uber driver on my ride home after listening to some live Christmas music downtown. I honestly was depressed I couldn’t find a girl to go with me. But it’s a personal tradition to listen to Christmas jazz. I am glad I went anyway

Anyway about the conversation. The Uber driver was a younger guy in his 20s who used to run a contractor business but it went under during covid and he drives Ubers full time. He told me he completely given up on dating and doesn’t use social media or dating apps. He has been single for 4 years. He wasn’t some overweight slob either. Not a trouble maker. Decent looking young light skinned African American man. Seems like some girl would appreciate him but he quit.

Anyway we both shared experiences about how we both once out in a lot of effort into dating that was very under-appreciated by women and then quit. There was a study done that over 60% of men under 30 are single now.

However most young women who answered this survey claimed to not be single. Either they are (or a combination of) 1) dating older men 2) in causal relationship they claim “is a relationship” when the man feels differently 3) not in a relationship at all but lying about (virtual “relationships” are complete bs)

Anyway let’s forget about men for a second. How are young women dealing with all of this? They are supposed to be more “free and empowered” but are they really happy in modern times? Statistically young women are reporting very high rates of depression:

My theory is young women have been indoctrinated in a lot of modern feminism brainwashing that brings them a lot of short term benefits but long term misery.

I'm a straight man, and the absolute youngest age of a woman I would date is 21 years old, but I would want her out of a traditional college student environment, and more into a young career environment. Realistically, the youngest woman I could see myself dating is 25 years old.

I didn't include 70 years old (and older) in my poll. If people 70 years old, and older are too young to date, then you're too old for dating, or you need to seek therapy.

Everybody has made bad decisions in their life at some point they regret later. Some people are obviously worse than others. Sometimes we were just naive. Other times we were misguided. But often we were just being stupid and stubborn because we were fixated on an emotion or something else that made us act irrational.

I can own up to my mistakes and accept the consequences for better or worse. I said and did a lot of stupid things when I was younger. You can’t change the past but you can learn from it.

But from my observations I notice women are more likely to have to “learn the hard way” whether it’s dating the wrong kind of (abusive) men or supporting political causes that are based on emotion vs. facts/logic.

Not to say they don’t learn their lesson at some point. For example I talked a young woman who completely supported BLM but absolutely regretted after they publicly supported Hamas terrorists. I also spoke to another woman who once identified “as a man” when she was a teenager and early 20s. Now she’s in her late 20s she also completely regrets.

I bring up politics because supporting political causes just out of emotion has dire repercussions for society as a whole. This can be just as true for conservatives too. But overall I see people who blindly support leftist causes come to regret it later because they there is unforeseen consequences to radical policy.
