A 22 year old is predatory towards a 29 year old? Do you get out much?

Reading is fundamental please! A 29 year old woman is predating on a 22 year old with no education and no job. Although you could argue it’s the other way around, he’s punching way above his weight here.

Does this guy have his own place yet, OP? He might be a hobosexual.

The word you're looking for is "preying"

Predating is something else entirely.

He hasn't even started a career yet and actually doesn't have a degree, he works retail. She's college educated, works a low paying office job. I'm like why can't you look for a guy with a professional degree when you're a thin, conventionally attractive, college educated 20 something woman? She will never be able to afford a house or family with this guy. We don't have money to give her.

Your bigger problem is that she is in an underpaid office job at 29. She is college educated she should be near the six figure mark by now. Does she have low self esteem? That might explain why she isn’t dating someone her age.

Animals predate other animals in nature, but that is hardly commensurate with a massive worldwide farming industry that breeds species purely for our purpose.

I started dating my husband when I was 31 and he was 26. He had a degree in East Asian religion and worked at UPS. I worked as a very underpaid social worker. 20 years later he was a software engineer and I was an architect.

Let her be

I agree.

My mom was six years older than my dad and they were married until she died. As far as I know, no one paid any attention to their age difference and I doubt if very many people even knew about it. Though my dad's friends told him to watch out for her when they were dating, because they said she was a "man eater."

Really depends on both their maturity levels. When I was 21/22 I exclusively dated woman in the 27-35 age range mostly for maturity reasons, but a lot of it was compatibility issues including financial compatibility. Friday night I was going to be at nice restaurant followed by good lounge or nice restaurant/hotel bar. Not pre partying at someone’s apartment and then going to party bar/club. Also I travelled frequently and I was going to stay at a nice resort or city center hotel. Most people my age weren’t up for that.

NP. This is never used in spoken English. Awesome for you if you have this vocabulary and maybe English is your second or third language but almost nobody would understand what you are saying if you use this word in that context. Just a friendly FYI.

You're incredibly close minded. There is nothing strange or unusual about this.
