This was kind of funny, I read this in Livejournal, but at the same time...why is it that guys over 30 are often regarded as being creeps and child molestors? Even if this fool was hitting on the author, why should it matter? She's 21. Guys will forever be attracted to younger women, legal or not, just b/c....well, they're attractive at that age (not to say that older women aren't attractive, but the numbers start to drop).

I will be over 30 soon. It pains me to constantly see this stereotype. It's like saying that ALL people over 30 are wine-drinking, opera and lite jazz-listening mofos.


-----------------------------------------------------------
what a ****in idiot. this 32 year old MAN has been messaging me on myspace and heres todays message.

Are you serious? simple plan? dress well? come on.....no way. Ive worked on some of their projects and this one time I will say I'm 12000 times cooler in an old man suit than they will ever be in their overly calculated and smartly situated style of tshirt and van sneaker coolness....please kill me now if this is what COOL is! Kill me slow painfull death! Please.

Cool? Check out Cabaret Voltaire. Sheffeild England 1978. That's cool!

Well obviously if she views him as a child molestor she must view herself as a child.

apologies to sound sexist and misogynist at the same time but when I hear or read crap like that and then have the woman attempt to justify the verbal abuse on pms makes me all the more happy to be gay.

It sounds more like she has a problem with being over 30

Anyone else think that men suffer more from PMS than women?

I've dated younger women and older women.

I've never gotten these lables though.

Maybe because I wear t-shirts

I know what your t-shirts have printed on them.

When my sister was 18-19 she was dating a 32 year old. But she's always gone for older guys. (Because she's terrible at relationships)

Older men have a huge advantage over the younger men when it comes to meeting women. Been there, done that, I learned the knowledge the younger dudes are still seeking.

That being said, have you seen the statistics on unmarried women over 30? Their chances of ever getting married are about 1 in 4. Why is that? Because unmarried men over 30 are dating 20-something year old women.

Women love older men. I thank my lucky stars for that fact everyday.

I'm not saying I won't be interested if a woman is over 30 - but I haven't been yet. 25 is such a perfect age for a girl. I'd like to be 25 again myself...since its so awkward meeting your girlfriends parents when they're younger than you.

On second thought, I really need to find me a nice young woman to marry before I'm 40. I've got 3 years, give or take.

She's 21, he's 32.
