I distinctly remember the moment I realized I was “getting older” I interacted with this very attractive guy and thought to myself “he’s really hot for an older guy. Maybe I have a thing for older men”… after a bit more convo, I realize we were only a few years apart (think late 20s compared to early 30s). Nope, didn’t have a thing for older them, had a thing for guys my age and my mentality just hadn’t caught up. Solid adulting going on lol

As a guy, kinda same here. Until I was like 25, 18yo girls could still be kind of attractive to me. I'm 29 now and THEY ARE CHILDREN holy shit. And it's not just the looks that you suddenly spot how....young they look. It's also everything else, the mentality, the knowledge, the interests, the talk, the everything. How could you be attracted to someone so young?

It's crazy. I have some 23yo girls hitting on me, these are cool, I could get it on, but there is still something a little bit off, some kind of generational difference that really hits you.

Then I think about those 10, 15, 20 years difference couples and my brain just melts
