What was I THINKING?

[framlingem]

I just gave a guy seven years older than me my email address, becuase he was fun to play Monopoly with.

*facepalm*

His name's Jake, though, which is a good sign.

(kudos to those who know why I said that*

What is with the fascination that women seem to have for older men? and why do we get yelled at for liking younger women? takes two to tango. double standard. for every older man there is a younger woman.

oh well... i'm complaining about something that really hasn't mattered in a while.

Nah - having dated people both older than me and younger than me, I like the older guys.

OTOH, at the age I'm at, age really does make a difference. Keep in mind that seven years is more than a third of my life.

(Yeah... men vs. boys and all that... gah. What a cliche. And the double standard really does stink.)

I'm wondering whether or not I should resent that comment... ;)

Nah, not this time.

It wasn't really aimed at you. The older guy I've dated was nineteen while I was seventeen.

And no, you aren't the only younger guy I've dated.
