This is very true. And they have no problem ending it when they want to move on. They know just exactly how lucky it is for me to be with them. |
Don't worry about how any man looks to you in this thread. I can assure you, none of us care even a tiny bit. |
The thread is initiated to denigrate men who date younger so it is no surprise that some men respond in kind. |
What things have you heard? |
There is quite a bit out on there on this from a psychiatry/psychology perspective. Usually boils down to men being insecure about aging and their own virility. Essentially a psychological need to prove to themselves and others they've still got it. So, men with issues for sure, although I guess maybe understandable issues as a I think aging may be hard for a lot of us. I'm the PP that posted about the "flawed" men. I would say in the case of the guy I dated, the above was 100% true. The women he was dating were the same age as his adult children. He also told me that I was the only women he had ever dated that had her own career and made good money. He was just going for young, hot, girls that worshipped him and his local celerity status but then would have a lot of conversations with me about how hard it has been for him that his relationships were always volatile and that he just wanted a good, solid relationship. He, for the life of him, could not put 2 and 2 together as to why maybe things weren't working out the way he wanted with the women he was choosing. It was kind of sad actually. He's a decent man. I hope he figures it out and finds someone, but he definitely fit hte classic stereotype here. I also don't want this to be taken as all men who date younger are this way. I have no idea why everyone does what they do. This is just my one experience. |
Nah. The only time I have those slight insecurities is when dating a woman in her early 20s because I know that I have 15-20 years on her previous bfs. My most recent relationship was with a woman my exact age and that never crossed my mind. Your friend that you clearly think about all the time is a rare case with his celebrity status. The 20s women I date definitely do not worship me and either of us would leave if it were volatile. |
The only people on this thread asserting that younger women have less power are the women trying to deny that monkey-branching exists and happens. Any man knows that the length of his relationship is directly proportional to whether the woman believes she has a better option available. |
Eh. There are longer threads on what to serve at thanksgiving. Don't hurt yourself. |
When dating? Yes. When in love? No. Women won't leave over there being a better "option" if her heart is wrapped up with that man. More likely for the woman to try her best to "change" the man, encourage, uplift him, accept him, build confidence. And very often that man is the one that leaves because the new and improved version of him believes that he now has better options. It is very common knowledge that women don't operate with the same rationale as men, even if both genders demonstrate the same behavior. That is why so many women stay in marriages that aren't healthy. Of course there are better options. I would expect this dynamic to make men more hesitant in monogamy; they won't try as hard as a woman to fix what is broken. They will just leave even if they are broken and look for a better broken fit. Often women want to repair what broke in themselves and in the man that they love. |
If you don't care about how men appear when they make these comments about women, why comment on this particular response? If it doesn't bother you what is said about men, no need to comment. |
| These threads are started with to denigrate with completely wrong cope theories. I’ve given up on trying to correct (a 21yo HU student is asleep beside me as I type this) but can’t blame others who feel the urge. I used to. |
Wrong. Are you actually a guy? Because trust me, almost always it's simply about a hot body and hot sex. |
These are such misogynistic statements that can only come from hating other women. |
Mid-50s divorced dad here. Tall, in shape, PhD educated, good job, well-off. Currently dating a woman who is a few years younger than me, and she is a unicorn. I have as recently as a few months ago dated a woman in her 20s and another in her 30s. The younger had a BA, the second a MA. Neither have daddy issues, nor have the other dozen young women I have dated. What the last two women were looking for was a good, stable guy who gave great sex. The woman in her 30s still texts me several times a week. She would love to get back together. |
Oh but thats just for non serious fcking. The reason they are that way is because of embedded daddy issues or other self esteem issues. My teenage cousin is that way and grew up with a weird narcissist dad though in a well off family. |
