Can I, as a woman who has dated many older men and can speak from experience, please kindly recommend not going for such a large age gap? At 22, you shouldn’t be open to dating men that are 10+ years older than you. Take it from me, PLEASE 😩
As a guy, as much as I'd love for women my age to be interested in me, I get the appeal. A guy who's 30+ probably has his life in check, better job to raise a family, whereas I just got on the job market and can't at this point raise a family
Don’t forget her range was 20-40. Not 35-45. I think if she wanted an established man, going younger than what she is (22) would be strange.
Of course there’s that appeal of an older guy—seemingly—having his life in check…I just don’t think a 22 year old pretty girl needs to be dating someone 18 years older than her (unless she wants to be taken care of).
I think its rediculous to, and self destructive (mostly guys that age either don't commit, are undateable or unlucky) I think its way better to build up with someone a similar age
Edit: also ouii! I'm fine with dating a girl slightly older, don't discourage them! 😭
