He Said " Men Should Date Women 7 Years Younger" For This REASONš
Whereas a naive woman who's just banking off her youth and her looks alone don't have much to offer except her body. She's the perfect prey for a guy like this. And again, we're talking about fully fledged adults here. We're not talking about a guy who is into underage people. This is an adult talk here. But anyway, it was just very binge listening to him. I included the link here, so let me know your thoughts

But I've dated, like, my last relationship, which we've been back and forth forever. He's ten years older than me, so I can rock with that. But what he's talking about is not just age. It's like a guy could even come to me when I was 18 or 20 and tell me about Martin Luther King or Egypt, because I'm really smart. I'm a nerd. I read the entire set of encyclopedias in my parents house growing up
They had to make it evil, because apparently, according to studies, all genders gossip, but typically, men describe it as networking, and that is somehow okay, good, even. Right? So when I listen to you reiterating what this man has said and his thinking, part of me sees him as a villain. And how dare he? And I hate this kind of thinking. On the other hand, we're all products of our environment, right?

So, yeah, these guys are yucky because in some cases, or in many cases, they're not even talking about just seven years younger. I'm sure he wanted to say much, much younger than that. I'm, I'm quite sure I grew up in a neighborhood where the guys like that, they don't care how old the girl is. I'm going to leave it at that. But thank you so much for chiming in

Hey, Christina, you brought up a couple of interesting points, especially about the patriarchy. He definitely is a victim of the patriarchy from the way he talks. And even though this guy is from the black community, it's a lot of crap going on in the black community right now. But it's not the only community that's affected by this. There's gender wars on all sides of the planet, but it's definitely very thick within the black community
And you listen and the stories sound interesting and it's intriguing. You like to hear them talk and you want to hear more. I believe that's what younger women who are not just trying to give up their bodies, but are intellectual. But if they're looking for something in a man, it may be security, it may be knowledge, it may be those characteristics that show he is a solid guy. He's been tried and been through, and I can depend on him

It's great when we can see life through the eyes of someone who haven't lived our life. It's like reliving it all over again and just through a fresher perspective. And you mentioned that the women are drawn to you mainly because of the looks, or maybe the both of you vibe a certain way. And even though looks are superficial and not something we should only look at in a relationship, it happens. Take me, for example. My relationships have always been with older men
Some people probably didn't like his tone. Some people probably didn't like his look. Because sometimes that's the thing. If a man, a lot of cases, if he says things like that and he seems like he's cocky or he's arrogant or he's got confidence, we don't want to hear the message, even if it is right. And I'm not saying it's an offense or to be offensive, but ladies, women have to get past that point

We have a lot of our people who are trying to be young again, not just in looks, because some of us look young for our age, but we're trying to engage more with a group that we're actually supposed to be mentoring and nurturing and helping to grow. So it seems like he wants to teach a person who doesn't know something. You said a man's roots is his pride and then you have the youth who have the interest. I agree a thousand percent with that
And I hate I have to talk with disclaimers because I know somebody is. While I'm saying that somebody is ready for the comeback before they even listen to the whole thing. Generally, women look to men to lead in a relationship. That's what all of these new age topics and conversations are about. But when they get that, it's like, I want that. But I want it in a real soft, delicate tone
