I got a question I’d like you guys to give your opinion on. So if you’re 18 and out of high school, do you think you should be able to say “fck it, and date people who are 26-30? Like yeah there’s an age gap, but if you’re much more mature than a lot of people than your age, then I think you should have the ability to get with someone who actually wants a relationship and doesn’t wanna fool around and do things just for “validation or for the thrill.” I hate being judge-mental, but It annoys me how tons on ppl on dating apps use it just for “validation, and wanna link their insta for more followers and say screw it.”
I’m a man, and I’m 18, but I’m not really satisfied with how a lot of girls my age act, hence why I wanna date women who are 25 and older. Because they’re like way hotter, being brutally honest, + a lot of them like younger guys, and they have more experience and don’t wanna mess around and actually want something real. I also wanna be honest about other things. I’m tired of hearing my friends parents, including mine, say I should only date people 2-3 years older than me even though most of them aren’t as mature or aren’t serious, and it’s like come the fck on man. It’s like fighting an up hill battle! Like seriously! Gotta swipe right 50 times a day on dating apps just for 1 match even though I workout and do tons of sh*t.
I think about this like 100x per day, because naturally I’m introspective, and think it’s necessary to stay grounded. I feel like a 27 year old mentally trapped in an 18 year body surrounded by people who don’t want marriage or want something real. Like the other day, I argued with my best friend who said I’m being irrational and that I shouldn’t date someone who’s 25-27 because It’s too far apart, and he’s 20. But as we were arguing, I just said to him “don’t you get it? No one our age is mature enough to give af about this old school stuff, society has degraded morally, and dating apps have reduced people to numbers and fcking algorithms.” My hands are sweaty as I’m typing this, hoo lee sheet.
Tl;dr: just tired of feeling like a 27 year old trapped in an 18 year old body. And tired of having my parents and friends tell me I can’t date older girls even though they’re more mature and care about what I do.
