[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a woman in my 50s and fully admit that I was probably more intellectually stimulating in my 20s/30s because I had time to read more, and wasn't wasting time on social media[/quote]

Hahaha! I’m sorry, no. I spend a lot of time with highly intelligent early to mid 20s, and they are babies. You might *feel* that way, but 20-26 olds don’t even have a fully formed brain. Old guys say this because they are thinking with their d***s.[/quote]

Gosh, I am a woman and I really think we need to stop with this nonsense. Older women are no more intellectually interesting or deep or valuable than younger women. I also feel like I was just as interesting when I was 23 as at 43. And my body was certainly better than, but I don’t care. Women should see their inherent value as not tied to either their age or how “intellectually stimulating“ they are. People have strong and meaningful relationships throughout their lives, and for all different reasons. I’m not at all threatened by older men going out with younger women. There is a lot of love to go around in the world, and people can find the relationship for them at any age. [/quote]

the intellectual stimulation part is a red herring. The issue is self-worth and boundaries. Older women know how to set boundaries and call men out on their BS. Younger women have a much much harder time with that not.

But I will say that PP does have a unique insight into the intellect of a 23yo v a 43yo. We probably thought we were much smarter than we actually were 20 years ago. [/quote]
