I don't have a problem with you flirting with younger women. If the women is of legal status, I have no problem with you flirting with, dating or having sex with a female 5,6,7,8 years your junior, as long as she is consenting.

And please cite the legal statue that denies you the freedom to freely flirt with younger women. ,

And FWIW, my 59yo husband routinely chats up and flirts (meaning friendly conversation) with young women. I guess I'm gonna have to call the police on him since he is undoubtedly breaking some law.

MJ, I think maybe we have a semantics problem. Please give me an example of inappropriate conversation between an older male with a younger female that would be considered appropriate and acceptable if the roles were reversed.

roles reversed meaning older female with younger male.

I'm not going to spend any more time arguing with you. You have made up your mind about this gross universal injustice and unfairness that seems to pervade your life. I sincerely hope you don't spend the rest of your life focusing on the "unfairness" of life becuase you miss the potential beauty of life.

I'm going to end with this advice that has served me well:

"Unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes."

You're arguing a ridiculous point about flirting, sounding like an over-dramatic teenager.

And seriously, if you really believe that you feeling judged for flirting with an 18 year old girl is a "gross universal injustice," then your world is tiny, my friend. But as they say, fight the power.

MJ.

I'm going to put my 2 cents in and be done. You have talked this same 'theory' ( or whatever you want to call it ) for several years now on here. Besides the fact that the post has taken a huge turn from the original topic, it is clear that no one ( and I wouldn't even begin to ) can ' debate ' with you and your opinions . For the life of me, I can't make sense of anything you proclaim to be the gospel truth or what you actually claim to base it on. My husband is 8 years older than I am. We met when I was 23 and he was 31. We have been married for 30 years. Maybe that seems strange or disgusting to you considering that you are 28 and referring to dating or flirting with women not far from that same age difference.

How you think for an instant that you ' hooking up ' with one of your 18 year old cute friends would ' STICK IT TO ' anyone here like it would affect our lives in any way? Wowzie.

I do wish you the best like I do everyone here.

Peace ,

I wasn't flirting with a 19 year old boy. I was talking with a 19 year old boy. The point I was making is how chatting isn't flirting and how guys can mistaken the two for being the same thing.

The last time I got attention from a man over 30 and enjoyed it was this morning while having sex with my husband.

Well Hero, my 30 year old son got married yesterday. His wife is 23 years old, they dated for 3 years, 2 of those years they lived together. Do the math, she was 20, he was 27 when they started dating.

Before he was in a serious relationship with her, he dated girls younger than him, older than him and the same age as him.

No one ever had an issue with their age difference. If anyone did have an issue and thought him to be a "creep", the way he and she would see that is, it's that person's issue to deal with, not his issue, not her issue.

My 32 year old son, his partner is 37 years old, they've been together a long time. So there you have both, older man, younger woman and older woman, younger man.

Hero, society doesn't give a fiddly fuck to what you do, who you date, how old some chick is (assuming she's legal age), it's all in your head.

Do you honestly think you are so important that people will even notice or give a damn?

Oh my goodness (SMH).

I cannot believe this is still going on.

You poor, poor sick man.

Leather, you are awesome.

Leather, I second what OTM just said and congrats on your son's wedding yesterday! I wish them a very long and happy life together.

Just like me and my socially unacceptable older husband have had for 30 years now. :P~

Hero... You always show up when the place is dead but you always stir up the same argument over and over again. We have already gone over this a million times - you are a good person, you are smart, but you have a social disorder probably mixed with severe anxiety.
Through no fault of your own, you failed to transition from a child to a young adult in the same way your peers did and you are extremely upse by it. I don't blame you and I understand it to some degree because I am watching my son going through the same problem.
You are placing blame and focus on the wrong issue - you are convinced that it is society's fault that you are alone right now.
The issue is this : partly it is your genetic make up and partly you live in a country where NOTHING is going on to trigger you to become a man you wanted to be but you are also not doing much about by choosing to do the same thing over and over day after day.
I m not saying you are not allowed to have an opinion that all
Women are evil feminists, but you also MUST take some responsibility for how your life is going and do something to change it instead of complaining the whole time and dying of jealousy watching your brother.
YOU HAVE a choice, but you keep choosing the familiar.

The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true desserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world [sic] all his failure to meet, date and have sexual relations with young, attractive females[sic], all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy [sic] such as the diabolical plan of world domination by card-carrying feminists and all mndern wormen in general.[sic]
