I’m 86 but I get carded all the time. It’s so annoying!

Parties, mixers, in the park while walking my dog, cafes. I don’t go to bars very often, but these dudes are omnipresent. The “college girls” dude was at a “come and meet professional singles” event. I considered pointing out that “professional singles” implies people who have a profession, which does not describe…

I think it depends on the age: there’s a certain range of early adulthood that that age gap would be very drastic. As adults get further along in life, that eight year gap becomes increasingly less significant.

It really means that he looks 45 and desperate. Like, he is the 45 year old dude in the Ed Hardy t-shirts. That is what people mean when they say “You look 22” - “You are trying to look 22, and it is so sad”.

I think you need to calm down and be a little less hysterical and over-emotional. Just relax.

“women sound like petulant children when they complain about this...” actually, some gals are still practically children when they’re complaining about skeevy guys who won’t back the fuck off. It’s not “petulant” to be like, “no, I don’t want to fuck you, old guy. gtfo.”

Every time I hear a person say “people tell me that I look......” as a way to break boundaries clearly set by another, I want to tell them that those people are lying to you.

When I was 31, I dated a women ten years younger. I thought it would make me feel younger (it didn’t.)

I’m 36. Tinder says I’m 26, even though my fb data says 1979. So I admit to being 36, even though most dudes think...I’m 26. Can’t win anyway, so I own my maturity and my divorcée status. Blanche Devereaux, here I come!

Nah. Not finding a guy your age isn’t the only problem with this btw. Getting hit on by old guys sucks too.

Yeah, I mostly got messages from 18-20 year olds and 50+ year olds (the oldest was 68). For some reason, men my own age (27) have no interest. Whatever. I deleted my dating profiles, and I think it was the best decision.

For some reason I started attracting attention from younger guys at 38. Guys in their early twenties. It was interesting. It passed.

I mean, the good thing about this is that according to the chart, in approximately one-two more years, creepy old men will stop hitting on me in order to hit on women slightly younger than me.

I’m 37 and I’ve just A. bought a house B. gotten married for the first time and C. am pregnant with a baby all within the past three months. You aren’t going to rot away, don’t let that shit get in your head.

You big Cthuloser. ;) (I promised my father that I wouldn’t get married before 30. But by 35 he was teasing me! Still, 30 seems like it would be the power dating age? You know yourself, what you’ll put up with etc)

Yeah—we also need to account for the legion of assholes who are representing the population of OKCupid men.

Yeah, can you imagine dating a 55-year old? I went on dates with men in their early 30s sometimes when I was 22 or 23 and sometimes, even then, the age difference was noticeable because they had been operating in the adult world for so much longer than I had and we had really different touchstones/cultural memories. I…

If you think that there aren’t 45 year old men listening to Green Day and eating hotdogs and ramen, then I envy your optimism about the human condition.

I did RSVP and I am very good at doing what I am told. Maybe I am can do this!

My understanding is that it is much worse since Brownback took over. He passed some huge tax cut and claimed it would create jobs. Instead it had the exact opposite effect and now he’s scrambling to cut everything in sight to make up for an enormous budget shortfall. Not to mention the war on everything and everyone…
