Reading brainrot girlfriend has made me desire this.

[-] ballgoat@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

This is how I perceive the 28 year old to be.

[-] Ashenlux 48 points 1 day ago

Exactly! Why the fuck would anyone want to date someone that much younger than them? I will never understand why so many men want to date girl so young.

younger partners are easier to control.

and less worldly experience means they won't notice their dull personality.

lack of maturity and life milestones to date similar age ranges.

over emphasis on bodily needs.

and i repeat, control.

A friend of friend I’ve met a couple times is into me. They’re 23 and I’m 30 and I still don’t have an interest. They’re perfectly nice, but…

I think after 28-30 it starts to really not matter that much but before that even smallish gaps can be pretty questionable. And any dude that would consider someone their age to be a “hag” probably largely dates younger because mature, experienced women can tell they’re really just garbage man-children.

I agree with this. For me, so so much integral growth happens between ages 20 and 26-28 or so, and I don't really think people in general know who they are or what they want in life until then. Not true for everyone of course. All the people I know who married young are either divorced or super unhappy though so it may skew my perception a bit.

really just garbage man-children

It's a green-text, we knew that from the get-go

People are feeling all kinds of pressure these days. If they want to have kids they need a lot of resources. But having a lot of resources is really difficult to do when you’re young. So that naturally suggests a compromise: one old with resources and one young with health.

[-] Ashenlux 9 points 1 day ago

Wait, but I thought men hated "gold diggers"? And also, that's the result of our fucked up late stage capitalism economic system and not how things should work. A young couple should be able to afford to live comfortably and have children if they want.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

People make life choices based on how things are, not how they ought to be.

Generally a “gold digger” refers to a young woman who marries an elderly rich man with the intent of gaining a large inheritance, not a young woman who marries an established (but still working) man a few decades her senior with the intent of raising a family. A big “gold digger tell” is that the rich guy already has adult children who end up in a feud with his new young wife (because she represents a threat to their inheritance).

[-] Ashenlux 2 points 1 day ago

Oh really? I thought it ment a women marring for money in general.

People can do what they want, but women shouldn't have to feel like they have to marry some dude a decade older just to have a decent life and start a family. That's all I'm saying.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sure, they shouldn’t, but that’s life now. You gotta have a lot of money to have children today.

My partner's sister is 19, I'm in my early 30s now. But I met my partner when she was 19, I often ask myself did she come across as this annoying to people in their 30s back then?

Love that we're making imaginary [gen-z/gen alpha/gen whatever the hell arbitrary title] the same way our parents and grandparents made imaginary millennials to get mad at.

The Silent Generation called their kids "Generation Me"

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

The Silent Generation was correct.

It feels wrong to read manga-style art left to right.

The whole comic was brain rot talk that i didn't even notice it didn't narratively connect.

[-] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Took me like 5 mins to figure out what was wrong...

And now you understand why older men dating young girls is creepy, even if legal.

They have nothing in common. There's no way. It's pure physical attraction above all else.

Edit: Seemingly a lot of older people down voting this are in denial about how much they have in common with some 18 year old girl/guy as a romantic partner. You understand you're not fooling anyone, right? Not even other people like you. Underneath, you all know what you're about.

[-] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

A lot of people are downvoting this because a 19 year old is an adult who can make their own choices and you are insinuating that there's something so objectively wrong with dating an older person that it should be illegal.

I am not in any way suggesting it should be illegal. I don't think I mentioned that once.

What I am insinuating that if you're that young dating someone much older, there is almost always a massive power imbalance between the two in the relationship, romantically, and so it's a very difficult thing to overcome.

If you're a 30/40/50+ year old person dating a 19 year old, there is usually something wrong with one party, the other, or both in that scenario. A 19 year old, romantically, is not mature enough or at the same place in their life as a 50 year old person. This will, at best, strain the relationship significantly as each partner will want something different out of life as the relationship progresses.

If they don't, then one of them is likely a deeply broken individual. And that's usually going to be the much older person that's got some issues happening.

The 19 year old truly doesn't know any better, or thinks they do, or is getting something in trade like security from the much older person and they're willing to give up other aspects of their life in trade for this.

Can't fathom calling a 28 year old a hag 💀

I dated a 19 year old at 22 and even in that relatively minor gap there was palpable divide in mindset and priorities. I was looking to start a career and get my life established. She graduated high school a few month prior to turning 19 and just wanted to get high and watch musicals.

people both younger and older than me talk like this and I just want to go anywhere else every time I hear it

When did we as a society give up on the "½ X +7" minimum dating age formula?

OP is still on 4chan. Lingo aside I'd say he's in his maturity range.

As an adult for most dating your peers is preferable to dating younger adults. I don't want to hear "So what was the gas crisis like?" on a date ever again (IDK what it was like I was 3).
