I'm surprised Ami didn't reply to this with one of her classic, condescending lectures about how YOU should just love more and see that she only wants wall to wall peace signs and angels and hearts on this forum!

Nah, I'm just bored.

But it's nice that you welcome me back by being just as openly passive aggressive and fake as ever, proving my point.

You wouldn't have had to make "peace" in the asteroid forum if you weren't so far out of line to begin with. And CERI gets the credit for turning the other cheek with you.

Not you.

But even if we eliminate all of that, I don't know... It just doesn't seems right to me. Maybe it is social conditioning in this case and yes that would make me a total hypocrite for saying this but... It just seems... Wrong . I would feel as if I am old enough to be her uncle or something Lol!


This is refreshing to read, actually. I know several men around your age, who have also stated that they wouldn't date someone that young.

Who's to say the 70 year old will not live to be 104? Or the 30 year old not die at 60? Maybe if everyone stopped judging others' relationships their own would look much better. Similar ages guarantee nothing, not compatability or even shared experiences.

Isn't it time we stopped judging people by their chronological age and look to their characters and assets instead?

Maybe I am more compassionate in real life but this is text of course it sounds blunt lol this is my opinion you guys can can get mad it makes no different to me but this is what I think and feel about age gaps

When I was younger it seemed very strange to me when people were in a relationship with someone a lot older.
I remember thinking it was odd and that I could never do that.

After I met Leo guy - I completely changed my mind... because it seemed entirely irrelevant to me that he was older. It didn't even slightly bother me.
We were/are extremely similar people and it definitely does not 'feel like' or look like there is a wide age gap.

I think it's easy to make these comments from a detached POV - because you are talking about 'abstract' situations.. and 'abstract' people.
If you actually met someone you really like - and they happened to be older or younger... you would probably not care.
Imagine if the girl you like (the one with Aries Venus.. I think she is a Pisces.. I'm not sure...) .. imagine if she was a slightly older version of herself.. eg. 5 yrs older -- Do you think you wouldn't be attracted?


Ami -

Thanks for offering to have a look at the synastry, but I don't want to post it yet because I'm not sure about going out with him at all.
I feel like keeping it secret for now lol
Not sure why.. I'm probably just being weird.

When an older man is ignoring women his own age, and chasing women my age, that tells me a lot about his character - something that I don't like. Same with all of the men my age who "prefer someone younger".

I do see a difference between someone (man and woman) looking for someone much younger (or much older) and those who consider age a trivial detail.

And though my dad is of the former he's honest about it. He likes his young toys and willing to provide material support (I guess he's a sugar daddy, I cringe every time I consider that) but it's business. It's shallow to be sure, yet it makes sense given his cynical view of women but he never lies about it so I give him a pass on it.

Personally, I realized even as an underage teen that a man who pursued much younger women would have her replaced after she reached a certain age (unless he was just too lazy or otherwise unable to catch another one in which case he might settle), so I really don't get the women (and occasional gay man) who's shocked when it happens to them, especially when someone like my dad is upfront about it happening from the start. They must be really deluded believing something just because they want to believe it, or maybe think they can change his stripes like some Disney princess (heck, like countless heroines of romance novels), and the women and gay men who believe this often get angry if anyone else warns them in advance thinking the others are "jealous haters" trying to ruin a good thing, and we don't know him the way they do (how could their feelings be wrong about him?)--even if they hadn't realized he was 20 years older than claimed after nearly a year of dating!

Seriously, there are long term relationships where only an accident made someone realize he was 10-20+ years older than he claimed, and yet they think they "know" him and their love is real. That blows my mind but something other than getting to know someone while "falling in love" is going on, that's for sure.

Well said!

I only like people I feel genuinely compatible with.
If someone is actually 'looking' for someone much younger that seems like a very sex-centred thing to do...
I'm demisexual so I don't completely 'get' this, although I have nothing against it - each to their own.

But you can tell the difference between a real relationship and a sugar daddy (or mommy) relationship.
As you were saying about your dad.. he is willing to provide material support.. and basically 'parent' the other partner.

In a real relationship people normally meet, get to know each other, click on a psychological/personality level as well as a physical level, decide to make a commitment etc Things are usually more 'equal'.. in terms of what they have to give/provide in the relationship.

With Leo guy (who is older) - he hasn't done anything for me that a bf my age would not have done - in a practical/financial sense.. and actually he didn't 'pursue' me either. Soon after we met, we were basically stuck together for a couple of years.. and I saw him very often - and things just drifted in a romantic direction. But I mean.. we have a lot in common so we were best friends first.

I also wouldn't be a 'sugar mommy' to the 19 yr old I was asking about.. and he isn't looking for that because he's wealthy anyway lol As a Cap Moon woman.. I have to say 'sugar mommy' gives me shivers.
I don't willy nilly throw money out the window :\

The third leading cause of death is accidents, after heart disease and cancer. If everyone lived their full life expectancy, then age would be more crucial. But death is indiscriminate.

8 years isn't a huge difference when you are older. I think what would give me pause if I were 27 is that an 18 year old is SO immature mentally and emotionally still (in general).
