Draya Michele Is Dating a Younger Man: The Energy From Responders Is Interesting 🤨
For years and years and years, women who are past the age of 30 have been told that they are no longer young and sweet and good enough to date and that guys have to date younger women. And here you have an older woman dating a younger guy, which is not really that surprising in the world today. But nonetheless, you hear guys and some women complaining because who you select means that there's someone who you're not selecting

And yes, there's a big age gap here. And I think she has a kid that's almost his age, but he is a 23 year old professional athlete making millions of dollars. So I think he has to be trusted to make his own decisions about his romantic life, whether they be good decisions or bad decisions

Hey, Glenn, as always, it's great to hear your thoughts and opinions as well. Yeah, I don't mind if you take that line because it is trash on the Internet and sometimes just like, junk food. We like hot dogs every now and then and some potato chips or whatever. And it's all right, you know, and I had time to do that today

Hey, good evening. Happy Saturday. I'm responding to you as I take my walk. Me personally, like, I don't care what choices people make, but I have seen drea throughout her career and I know what she does. So she's a person who, she has her own money, don't get me wrong, but she wasn't always like that. It, but she usually dates for stature. It has nothing to do with age. It's for stature

It really depends on the person that you're marrying, how mature they are. And in this case, I don't know if they're married or not, but if they're not, then maybe they should consider that. But if they are, then I understand. But in this case, she's pregnant by this guy. So what? I mean, she grown. He grown. Let them do what they do

I don't care how she looks in those computer generated pictures, those filters and AI enhancement, baby, she's going to have stretch marks, varicose veins and swollen feet. So you tell me about that, because those are the realities, not those things we want to see. Sure. Every woman. I'm 71 years old

It's two consenting adults who apparently know what they're doing, and so I just let it be. But I hope there's some true love there. If not, it's pretty commonplace for there to not be. But thank you so much for your response

I do understand how a wide generational gap can be difficult to navigate in a relationship because you're both coming from different eras, maybe different beliefs or the younger person, as you said, clearly you don't want the person to grow up and regret from marrying so young. I know myself, I didn't marry really young. I was 26 and my husband was 29 or 28. He's only a few years older than me

But as I mentioned, it's a different type of energy. Okay, because the same argument you give is the argument that women have been telling older men, like what happens when the woman wants someone who's her age eventually? What if the guy get too old for her? Does she want to stick around and take care of him? And where her tastes change over time because the woman is young. So what I was doing was applying that same logic. Know would it still hold up?

And I can't produce a 20 minutes or 30 minutes swell to go through all the little nuances, but I did want to focus on just surface level logic here where the energy was definitely different. And I do know of women in my personal life who don't prefer older men, probably for the same reason that older men don't prefer older women. You have your opinion, but thank you for sharing
