What’s going on with this whole older woman/younger guy thing? Over the past couple of years, I’ve been bombarded with reeeallly young guys hitting on me and I’d say, it’s a safe bet, that many of the women here at AW have experienced the same.
Recently, I had one “befriend” me at the gym. He would find me each morning and we would run on the treadmill together, all the while, we’d be looking around the gym and I’d be pointing out younger girls I thought he should talk to. He passed on all of them for one reason or another.
Finally, he tells me that there is someone he is interested in but, he isn’t certain he should tell me who it is… I saw the twinkle in his eye… He waits a few days and then approaches me, “You know the woman I told you that I’m interested in… It’s you.”
Well, honestly, I knew that. He had been dropping obvious hints for a while, telling me how he was ready for a serious relationship, didn’t mind if the woman he married didn’t want to have more kids…
This guy is 23! I’m 43!
Another recent one … this guy followed me around a Walgreens and chased me to my car. He asked if he could take me out sometime and I told him he was too young. He asks, “How old do you think I am?” I guessed that he was 27. Wrong… He was 23! And, of course, he went on to tell me how mature he was for his age…
And, I know it’s not just some vibe I’m putting out because many of my girlfriends are experiencing the same thing.
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on this. Is this a new trend? Or, is it just something that’s always been around, but I hadn’t noticed because I wasn’t an “older” woman before?
Ladies, would you go out with a guy that much younger? Have you?
Oh, for you men over 30, these younger guys are way more persistent and aggressive than you. Just thought you’d want to know that.
This should be fun…
