I don’t understand this world anymore.
People give a shit about someone’s age? People live in this reality where the passage of time gets measured, and then what? Don’t tell me, it’s gonna be some fkd up sexuality thing again…
I went on a date recently where she checked that I knew she was 3-4 years older than me (both in our thirties)
like, yeah, it says that in your profile. what about it? it was a little bit weird. like, ok good to check, but still a tiny bit strange because of how concerned she seemed to be that I knew
I had a girlfriend who was super weird about me being younger. I never figured out by how much.
My mom was 5 years older than my dad. She was so ashamed of it that she told all her in-laws that her birthday was the same year as his, and therefore she was 6 months older. We celebrated all her milestone birthdays 5 years early with them because she was raised to believe her value was tied to her age.
To this day, her sisters will not tell me their age and I have no clue how old my aunts are. When a culture tells you that getting older makes you irrelevant, it breeds odd behaviour like that.
it’s a sad thing really, people feel the need to disclose “flaws” like that because they rejected for them before (or think they would be rejected) whilst it’s just… bro 3-4 years of a difference stops mattering right around when you turn 25

It’s always been the Epstein class complaining there aren’t enough victims to grape. They want more kids, women are too old etc etc.
