Honestly, at this point in my life (I’m 26), I’m starting to wonder if I should go full Scott Pilgrim and try a younger girl. Not high school, obviously, but like 18 or 19.

I’m starting to wonder if the age gap thing is a feminist psyop to cope with the fact that they’re past marriage age while the men their age are still getting pussy. You always hear about how it’s wrong that a man in his 20s is in the wrong for dating someone younger. Meanwhile, my parents had an eight year age gap, and they were married until this year. Plus, despite my one aunt having the dubious honor of meeting her cop boyfriend when she was 15, they’ve been happily married since the 80’s. It honestly makes me wonder if we should retvrn to tradition (though perhaps not too traditional, if you catch my drift).

Don't.

Teenage girls are stupid, vapid and boring and will demand constant attention and spending. Plus you and her will literally have zero cultural cues in common (I hope you like mindless tiktok Snapchat and IG reels scrolling)

Also, under 21 can literally lead to a MiP charge so yeah .....

Also, everyone will say you're a creep. Don't go under 21. Lastly Scott Pilgrim is a shit comic by a dipshit Canuk faggot that made being a BPD whore trendy. The movie is also gay and faggy apart from one or two scenes.
 
* Happy as I am
* No desire to meet anybody
* Not really family orientated
* Don't think I'd make a good Dad (bit of self doubt)
* Not sure I'd cope if I had a child who was blind, deaf etc. (I'd do my best but it would be a herculean effort especially in the modern age)
* Worries about if I have a child who ends up in prison or dead at a young age (murdered).

A lot of that is very self-centred, I admit, but I genuinely wouldn't know what to do if things went awry.
 
After a month on the apps, it’s safe to say that it’s the dating version of dumpster diving. Septum rings, danger hair, hamplanets and girls who openly list their red flags in their bios as far as the eye can see. Thanks for the warning though. Speaking of eyes, dear god so many of them have that dead eyed BPD stare. You know it when you see it. Online dating is like hopping into another dimension where society has fully collapsed into mass insanity because the women I see IRL at my job are decidedly less insane and unpleasant than the ones I see in online dating profiles.

I’ve found my hobbies to be way more fulfilling at the end of the day.
 
I am not sure where to post this, but I have noticed something over the past year.
Women under 35 do not go outside. You will rarely see them regardless of where you go. A grocery store? No young women. Restaurant? No young women. Airports before, during, and after work hours? Nearly young woman free. This hit me the most when I was in Dulles airport for a business trip. One of the busiest airports in the country, had to stay there for hours due to a flight delay, and I could count the young women I saw traveling on one hand. I don't even see young women driving when I am traveling across multiple states at once. The only exception to this I have witnessed in the past year is a Starbucks during normal work hours (not any other coffee shop, just Starbucks). Do young women even have any hobbies? Do they shop for food or just order it to be delivered to their door step?

I used to think the same thing during the covid lockdowns, that young women must be complete shut ins and having their every need catered to by phone apps. But it’s more of a gen z problem in general. This generation is closed off and unapproachable and it’s going to bite us in the ass socially once most zoomers move on from college and their impenetrable cliques evaporate into the ether.

It’s not as bad where I live, as I see young women at the grocery store and other mundane places every time I’m doing errands. But we have an aging population so there’s gonna be more geriatrics. Hobby groups though, those are mostly male and the few women that join them are already taken.
 
After my attempts at relationships a few months ago, I gave it a rest.

Recently I had a few prospects, but I was in the middle of a very drawn out and often interrupted house move, so I didn't really have time to go on dates for a while... then, along with the preparations and the actual move, tons of shit happened. My kid got sick, I got sick, she got sick again, there were various delays and setbacks, accidents, and most recently my dog nearly dying.
The moment has passed with most of them, and it'll be difficult to find the time for going out in general for at least another month, mainly because of the dog.

Though one of them has stuck around (just chatting, that is) and has been very supportive through this last batch of tragedy. Nice person, could be compatible. Not gonna get my hopes up, but if nothing else, it's good to know there's nice wömen out there yet.

What is really weird though is that the same does not apply to men under 35 in my experience. Zoomer, zillenials, younger millennials, etc. It doesn't matter you can find them outside just about anywhere.
 
In my experience, I've always been happier being single. Watching friends get with other people and have short-lived flings that almost always end in disaster makes me say "nah, I'm good". Watching how it plays out for others makes me thankful that I don't really put myself out there. I know there are decent people out there, I just don't feel like wading through the cesspool of shit to find them (and getting my life ruined in the process) so if it's meant to happen, it will. I just don't base my self-worth on whether or not I have a long term partner. It creates unnecessary stress that could entirely be avoided. While a reliable partner would be nice, I just don't count on it happening anytime soon. I might as well just focus on what I have going on in the meantime.

It's hard to make friends with other men though. The younger they are, the more awkward and clueless they are in my experience. Millenials have always been more chill for some reason.
 
My last relationship ended in 2022 and honestly I don't think my type exists anymore. I don't have that many dealbreakers.
*mid 20s to late 30s
*no tattoos / facial piercings
*not morbidly obese
*not a politisperg


Despite that I ought to be more desirable in every metric (no debt, no baggage, in better physical shape, higher earnings, full head of hair) I get less dates than when I was an unemployed guy out of college with zero life experience.
 
After having spent my whole life tardwrangling a BPD mother and sister and a few bad college experiences I've officially hit peak wahman™. I can perfectly cook and clean after myself, the only use I can have for a woman is if I want to have kids

I'd pay for surrogacy if I wanted to continue my lineagerino or something, but right now not feeling like it™

I guess I'm just too intense, sometimes. I burn with a lot of passion, it's true, and I always try to take that into account with everyone I befriend, but I always seem to exhaust everyone.
