Sometimes the people that care are the older women like mentioned, or people you know. At first when I was dating someone 18 at 23 I thought that was kind of weird at first, but I almost married the woman, and after a bit, age wasn't even a factor. No one even asked, cared, or what ever. She wasn't just a bang em leave em woman, and in fact she was prob the best girlfriend I had. So for me, it went to show me age wasn't a determining factor of who I clicked with. Now sure there will always be... Well the advantages of an older woman are blah blah blah, and sure.
The other time it bugs people, are those who dont get the chance with them. Lets say a dude gives you crap. He's really jealous.
To me it boils down to the person. Sure i'm older and i'd like to get married sometime in the next few years, but if I found a woman that young and I had a great time with her and she was really great, it wouldn't matter.
I was even thinking this tonight.... Man, she's really cute, so full of energy, happy, nice, and is a woman you could get along with, prob never argue much with, and wouldn't be a worry at all, but she isn't quite 18. Sucks cause i'm sure she'd be a good one.
I'd rather have that, than someone my age, who turns out to be depressed all the time, or just a crappy woman. I dont care how old you are, if your a terrible woman, I dont want you.
Sure you're like... Man, she cant have a glass of wine if we go out, or i'm out of college, and she isn't in college, and she goes to prom and high school football games, and I might have to go along
But you deal with that fact, and just go... I have this great woman.
Some want to just bang em and that's all, and each persons choice, but if I found one to actually date, I would. I always fall back on the cons, but if she makes me happy, so what.
Just plan on going to prom with her, or be there when she is at games :cheer:
