Our 35yr old divorced friend is dating a 25yr old

From a male (mid 30s) perspective, people tend to get more humble and empathic as they age. I don't chat up 19 year old women, but in my experience, people that age tend to be extraordinarily judgmental and have unrealistic expectations. Of course, that's part of being young.

I don't think it would be weird for a guy my age to date someone in her mid/late 20s. There's a big difference between 19 and 25-29. Much bigger than the difference between 25 and 35, though this depends on where you are with kids and career. A childless 35 year old who has just gotten his career going is in a different place than a 35 year old with 2 kids and is further along career wise.

LOL please. The posters on this thread are doing the most, trying to make this OP feel like shit because she had a slight issue with her friend dating someone significantly younger. Nothing wrong with that.... the mistake she made was posting her harmless observation on DCUM where of course, as a woman, she will be attacked as a "jealous, hateful nag". Business as usual.

That's what's great about DCUM. Pieces of shit get exposed for who they are.

East coast women no matter their age are materialistic and obsessed with status things.

One of our 25 year old friends is dating a 19 year old college kid! I can see why, she has huge boobs and is in a sorority. Its kind of funny to see a 25 year old go attend sorority parties with her. We all think its kind of odd. We have nothing against her, but find it difficult to see what he would have in common with her.

I kind of see the OP's point. Where the earlier you are in life, the bigger the differences are in ages depending where you are in life.

But as someone else pointed out and it became really evident about it later, the OP has a really bad attitude about this. And is the reason why a lot of people are getting on her case.

From the sound of it, your group has a better attitude towards the 19 year old then the OP does against the 25 year old.

Sure. I can see the OP being unnecessarily hateful. In our group, its interesting that its the guys who think its really weird and are beginning to shun him and not invite him to our gatherings. The running joke is that he is at a college party somewhere. Us girls are mildly amused and chalk it up to his immaturity. The 25 year old in question wouldn't be able to stand a normal conversation with a 25-27 year old woman so I can see why a 19 year old seems appealing. And it helps that she is really hot too. He's a simple guy.

Yep, 27 year old woman here. You bring up a good point. I think for many men, it's not about a younger woman being hotter, because women in their early to mid 20s are pretty much at the peak by any standard. But they're easier to talk to and way less intimidating, which an insecure guy will gravitate to. Younger girls, especially a 19 year old, will put up with a lot more BS, feign more interest in boring conversation and all that, then a 25 year old. That's for sure.

Absolutely. A lot of guys are really scared and nervous around women. A younger girl is a lot less intimidating than a demanding 25-27 year old. I don't think her much younger age has much to do with his attraction then the fact that he feels more comfy with her.

Is it just me or has there been an uptick in trolls around here?
