[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went out on one date with a guy who I knew was maybe 5-7 years older than me. During dinner he said something about me being too young to remember the gulf war, and I said I was in college and protested the gulf war. He did a double take and said "what?" He had thought I was much younger than he was. He never called me again. I figured that since he had a very young child, his ex wife may have been younger and he might have been looking for another younger woman to have another baby.

I also once went out with someone I thought was near my own age because he looked fortyish, heavier, balding, bushy beard. We figured out at some point that I was seventeen years older. He didn't call me again either! Lol. [/quote]

Ha as someone who looks younger than my age i completely resonate with that experience of the total drop off in interest once a man figures out youre not inappropriately younger than him.  For the longest time in my 20s people would assume i was in high school (!) and the creepiest part was how many older men would approach me.  Once I mentioned I was 28 or whatever they would run off like cockroaches.  I dont look like I'm in high school anymore, but it's still amazing how many men actively WANT you to be like 20 years younger than them[/quote]
