It's a little weird, but a novelty. I'm just wondering why everyone thinks it's just the greatest thing. This one guy I am not discounting, but I have to wonder why he is so interested in me. These other two guys I am just seeing as a couple of twenty five year olds. One is leaving in March for Philly so it seems extra pointless. But apparently people are of the opinion one should be pointless with twenty five year olds. I'm just wondering why everyone thinks it's just the greatest thing.

I don't think it's necessarily the greatest thing ever and if it doesn't make sense to you then it just doesn't http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559104 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 00:20:08 +0000 c559107@http://metachat.org Yeah, I guess the best advice would be do what makes you happy, regardless of the guy's age. I think people would be equally happy for you if you had said, hey this guy of any age is hitting on me. The fact that the age difference is an oddity prompts you to talk about it openly so people want to wish you well. Honestly, my first thought was "Hey! Mutual attraction! Go for it!" My second thought was "Stamina!"

It seems to be a persistent part of the culture that we older women are of interest to younger men. I am hoping when I get to the walker and deep wrinkles stage that it doesn't come up again. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559108 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:51:08 +0000 c559123@http://metachat.org Meh, by that point he'll be dead anyways, so it all works out ;) http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559123 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:01:52 +0000 c559125@http://metachat.org The reason everybody likes to think it's the Greatest Thing is severalfold: 1) Everybody likes to think about sex; 2) Everybody likes to think that Men Are Only Interested In Sex so they'll have an excuse to think about sex all the time; 3) Everybody thinks that young guys can Get It On way better and way longer, because if they make that assumption they can keep on thinking about sex; 4) Everybody thinks that women get old and ugly and men don't, so 5) It's an awesome fantasy to think about older women actually Getting Some, when deep down we all know there's a big fear Nobody Will Want Them Because If They Are Over Thirty They Are OLD. I realize I exaggerate greatly and make many assumptions here. Nevertheless.

But if the don't-get-too-attached thing is a deal-breaker, then maybe it's best not to go for it. I'm sure that some 20-somethings are capable of knowing who they are and what they want and of not changing their minds every few months -- but I wouldn't count on it. But that also doesn't mean they can't be authentic in the moment.

It was fun but we were headed in different directions. We're still pretty good friends though. Now that I'm 47 and she's 60, that 14 years seems like an even bigger gap. Very different life priorities. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559162 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:30:49 +0000 c559212@http://metachat.org A 15 year gap is large in either direction, but you should, of course, recognize that this is a testament to your hotness, both physical and personality. Seriously. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559212 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:36:47 +0000 c559213@http://metachat.org As the saying goes - age is just a number. The mister is 16 years older and that gap is irrelevant to our relationship. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559213 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:18:29 +0000 c559217@http://metachat.org I think I'd like to think this means I have magical powers of hotness and I can use my power for good or evil, but I can't rationally believe that. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/12/07/getting_hit_on_by_25_year_olds#c559217 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 03:26:23 +0000 c559260@http://metachat.org Different individuals, families, and subcultures perform age in radically different ways, and similar performance styles can sometimes be much more relevant than chronological similarity. (If you've ever been rendered speechless by someone your own age claiming to be "too old for" something perfectly innocuous, or been astounded to find out that someone's much older or younger than you thought, you'll probably understand what I mean.) Or maybe it's just magical powers. Who knows.
