[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman. When I was 19-24 I dated significantly (10+ years) older. I had serious unaddressed and untreated trauma and was living hand to mouth. In hindsight I recognize the profound power imbalance - I hardly knew anything about adult life and lacked savvy and sophistication in so many ways. There’s an “ick” factor when I consider what these men were attracted to in me. Why was a 36-year-old lawyer more interested in a 20-year-old cocktail waitress (me) than a professional woman closer to his age? It’s exploitative and weird - I don’t care what any man says to justify it. [/quote] +1 This. Every young woman I know who dated significantly older men was damaged to start with and more damaged by the relationship. If the younger party is 27+, IDGAF. But 30 year old men trying to date 19 year olds, late thirties men trying to date 20-something women . . . something is always off on both ends. [/quote]
