    As a 33 year old, I went on a date with a 22 year old and yeah I just couldn’t. I felt like I was babysitting. I can date a guy 20 years older but no one younger than me

      I know these are just general limits nothing concrete but I just imagined ya rejecting a guy cuz he was born one picosecond after you.

          no, they are arbitrary bullshit you tell yourself to make you feel like you have control or give you ready made excuses to keep making the same mistakes, over and over and over, rather than trying something different that might make you genuinely happy.

          someone’s age, or height, or amount of income/wealth isn’t going to make you happy and fulfilled. but you tell yourself it will because it feels like it’s something you can control. of course, the irony being the other person could just lie about those things…
