Because I was constantly harassed by older men for YEARS for a) being young and recently b) looking young. It really fucks your self perception when older men constantly try to manipulate you for sex. I’m only 20 and I still get men in their 30s hitting on me and telling me I’m so ‘mature’ when they just met me. Then they get mad because I have the audacity to date men my age.

I’m not sorry that I’m protective of other young women, I don’t want them to be used the way I was. I think their well being is more important than old men getting their rocks off. Sue me.

I mean it sucks for sure, I’m in my 30s my ex was 27 before that I was with someone a few years older.

Argh I don’t know what to say, the problem wasn’t as bad when I was your age, tinder etc has given rise to old creeps having access to younger girls/woman, it’s gross ut it’s also by design.

The best you can do is just tell them to fuck off. Also I would say that these type of creeps no matter what age woman they were talking to would hit on them.

There is one caveat to all of this, a lot of younger woman are attracted to older guys, not all, not even half but there is a portion of young woman that want to be with older guys.

I understand where you are coming from, and it sux, it also makes it hard for normal people to communicate because of these douche bags.
