I think I may have come to a realization.

Ok, here goes…

Guys my age tend to have no balls and therefore are scared of the fact that I’m a real and strong woman and therefore won’t be able to deal with it a lot of the time. I further conclude that somehow after they’ve reached an age at least 2 years older than me, their balls seem to drop and they start hitting on me. WTF??? I mean, it’s got to be the most inconvenient thing when you’re trying to get stuff done and there’s someone who has little to no chance of fitting into your life at the moment trying to make his way into your pants. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. Eh, and the one I really wanted was doing sound up in the booth far away from everyone. Any thoughts on my theory?

no, not at all.

Humans tend to want what they cannot have and not want what they can have. It is not nice, but it is true.

Personally, I’ve always liked men in their 40’s.
When I was 20, this was a problem for my father.
Now, however, these men ARE my age.
When I’m sixty, I’ll be chasing “younger” men.
Go figure!

I can only offer the sage advice of Mr. Mick Jagger:

“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.”

so…

How you doin’? :wink:

Wait, how old are you, ssskugiii? I know that I find a similar problem with guys my age (20) but that 40 year old men who are unwashed and who look shifty in general have NO problem hitting on me. FEH.

So, Tasha, it’s never you hitting on the guys that are 2 years older than you?

I’m still trying to figure out why guys who are only two years older than you “have little to no chance of fitting into your life at the moment.” In the greater scheme of things, do you realize how little two years is? I mean, it’s like senior guys dating sophomore girls, which was more the norm than the exception when I was younger.

Yeesh. Blowing off guys because they are a literal couple years older than you is kinda creepy, isn’t it?

trying to figure out when I first noticed my balls and how old is ssskuggiii is…doing the math…

Tasha’s either 16 or 17 (I think 17).

I don’t know about noticing my balls, but last week I found the courage to/was so damn tired I started playing with a friend’s hair.

Yesterday I made good progress.

I’m confused. How can non-existant balls drop? Or is this a case where they were actually there, just retracted into the body, like an urban legend sumo wrestler? Or maybe they spawn somewhere higher then where they end up, and must drop before becoming useful?

And you’ve ignored the very real possiblity that guys with your age are too busy dating women two years younger or older than you to flirt with you.

Of course, I think the more important question is, why do “real and strong” women always seem to express irritation with men by questioning thier masculinity?


“Thank Heavens for the internal genitalia!”

I have a similar problem. Guys in my age range (16-19 years old; I’m 17) don’t notice I exist; the youngest guy I’ve dated was 21 and the guys who hit on me range from 22 to 27. And on three separate occasions I’ve been hit upon by 27-year-old men with wives. (My motto, according to my friend Krista: “I’m 17, Single, And Better Than Your Wife.”) It’s quite annoying. I just figure that eventually either I’ll grow into the same age range as the guys who find me attractive, assuming it’s always the 22-27 year olds; or, the age of the guys who hit on me will increase with my age, which will cease to be a problem once I’m a few years older anyway. I see no problem with a 20 year old girl dating a 25 to 30 year old guy; the age difference is only a problem while I’m younger and we’re in entirely different life stages. But it is a big annoyance.

Maybe you are just more mature and look older than your age, which scares off the ones your age and attracts the older ones. Or maybe you dated one once and it became part of your reputation (don’t bother hitting on her dude, she only dates older guys)?

Your only in highschool!! If the guys your age were not trying to get in your pants I would wonder what’s wrong with them! You have to remember they are, for the most part, a walking hormone!

I would have to guess that you attract older guys because you act older or are more mature than the guys your age. Eventually it all evens out (sort of) :smiley:
