There's a recent fad that seems to be taking on. I didn't think much of it until I found myself on the verge of getting into it myself. What do I speak of? Women going out with younger men. I may be narrow minded but have always shouted from the roof tops that younger men were not for me. Why you ask? Because I just thought that they wouldn't be mature enough (you know, because of the theory that an average woman is atleast 4 years older than a man her age in maturity).
Well I've recently realized that I'm smitten by a guy 5 years younger than me. It's a lost cause from the offset, and I've told him as much. It may be because of my mindset or just the things he does (I swear you'd think he were 5!) but its doomed from the get go. I find it interesting though. I know about 5 gals my age going out with younger men with the ages ranging from a 5 -10 (!) year difference. I'm not sure how serious they are, but one wonders. Is it that we've gone desperate and anything would do? Is it that younger men are more sensitive? Is it that we're holding on to the dredges of youth and would do anything to hold on to that fleeting feeling of belonging to the era?
Whatever it is, I won't deny that I smiled at the thought and was entertained by the advances of a man so young.
hehe give it a try life is way too short
ReplyDeleteDoes he wear muharisho? This young man who has you all smitten?
ReplyDeleteit's a tricky situation, but I believe the heart wants what it wants so give it, younger or not. Shiko what is a muharisho?
ReplyDeletei agree with pitz, life is too short. and what is a muharisho?
ReplyDeleteHahaha Wakarima & Waywardfoe. Muharisho are these jeans or shorts right here: http://tinyurl.com/cjxdk7
ReplyDeletePitzevans is right on the button. Life is too short to be worrying about numbers. Romance is in the air - you cannot deny it.
ReplyDeletePs@Shiko-Msa why are the called that - I can't even type that name...
No idea. But the few times ave heard them referred to they were referred to by that name.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I don't see the connection between dating a younger guy and being desperate. I'm sure you like the person first, before you realize they are younger than you. I say bite the bullet go for it! He just might be the guy for you.
ReplyDeleteI have dated younger, same age and older men. My own experience has always been the younger ones had some serious maturity on the older ones, and it would always be something that raised an eyebrow. When Mr and l met we were first friends. I had my reasons for not wanting to be more than friends and age was not an issue, it did come up when things got serious and l voiced it once. Are you cool with my being older than you and he looked at me like really???? What we have has nothing to do with the numbers, it is how we feel towards each other and how we treat each other. I will say this though, l did have a cut off age where it was not even open for discussion. There is something like too young.
ReplyDeleteAha! I have scoured and found the beginnings of a tale. DO tell Ms Madam, what happened with said youngling?
