"Pilots have girlfriends in every city they go to."

I challenge you to challenge yourself to find girls your own age, or older.
Eh, I went down that road dating a 27 year old when I was 22. It gets messy when inevitably they want more grown up things that you aren't quite ready for when you're that young. The "more attractive" the more BS thing kind of depends too. I can see your point, but honestly I have waaaaaayyy less drama with a way more attractive girl than I did with the other. Just depends on the person.

I think that you mistake what I mean. Not saying he should date someone too much older mature than he, just that he IMO probably shouldn't be dating the 18-22 set, when he's twenty-four. Maybe someone his own age, or a little older. At age 24, maybe someone 24-27 might be more his speed. Yeah. Everyone's experience differs. Mine has been pretty bad, dating the twinky pretty boy's. Seriously... as has been my experience the more attractive, the more arrogant they were, which was really just a crutch for their fragile self-esteem as they revel in the temporary nature of their youth, and try desperately to find their place/identity in the world as an individual. But also the more broken, needy and entitled they have been, in my experience. Always needing constant attention, glorification. I'm talking bottomless pits of need and want. Maybe it was just their age, not sure. Probably. Maybe that's what @ChasenSFO is running into, I've lived his current struggle. I can definitely agree. Which is why I mentioned in my post that yes it does get messy when you're young and aren't quite mentally ready for the maturity of life and a real relationship when you're young and dating someone older. Shocker. I've always been that older guy. And it was always the death of mine, being unable to relate as time went by and the shine of youth wore off. Them always wanting to go and party, late into the night, and me just wanting to stay home and chill. Or them always thinking that everything was new, when I'd done the same thing before at their age and thought the exact same. Or constantly doing things like explaining to them things like Transformers isn't new, or just a movie series. It was a hugely popular cartoon back in the eighties. And getting blank stares. Them saying that they just wanted to find one guy at age 18-19, and be with him forever in the beginning. Then them realizing that hey there are a whole crap ton of other people out there, and being a kid in a candy store and wanting to taste all the flavors. Then them doing their business in secret, all the lies and guilt, the hurt the pain. Then the break up, it was always formulaic. I'm glad that I finally grew up, and looking for and dating older guys or guys my own age/maturity level.Now if I could just find my perfect type, who looks like Grant Gustin from The Flash. Who looks quite eerily like some nameless guy here on the forum....

I whistle "Fly me to the moon" every day when I get out of my car on the way to work.

Seriously. Makes me smile, every day.

But I'm a freak, and I love my job. And I'm old. And married.

And I look waaaaaay better than Leo. Black and gold baby, and I ain't talking uniforms! :-)
