[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my forties, and none of my male friends in my age group could ever handle dating a Millennial. My friends don't thumb type quickly enough to keep up with the incessant texting, and they could never provide the volume of validation that twenty-somethings require.

It is of course, always possible to find women weigh low self esteem who will date anyone. The sheer number of women willing to write to men in prison is evidence of that.[/quote]

I've avoided this particular thread, but I've commented on others of these age-disparity threads before.

I'm a Gen-X person and my spouse is too - we've got an 11 year spread so we're each on the bookends.

Before we got together, I dated - on a lark mostly - a young millenial - 22 year age difference - and no, it was bizzare. She wasn't massively insecure and didn't need lots of validation, but was a little out of step with her frat-bro contemporaries.  I've dated massively insecure women my own age and older - age isn't the cure for insecurity unfortunately (as the troll regularly demonstrates).  But the disconnect in generational views was just too much.  There were just too many things that I wound up being a old dork about and she was a young twit about.  Missed cultural references, etc.

I also have to say: no matter which gender, yeah, never married >35 you better investigate why.  Nobody "needs" to get married, but it is the cultural norm/pressure, so you should investigate what path they've taken that's led them there (ie, was it a deliberate choice on their part).  Even more important: never had any long term (>3 year) relationships.  That's a huge warning flag.  [/quote]
