this kinda shit is why i switched to tinder. harder to find someone who wants to do more than hookup, but at least the only people who can message you are ones you expressed interest in.
"Old men aren't hot either"
So?
"it is a very creepy feeling to get hit on by a guy who's the same age as your father."
Why? Old dude thinks your pretty. Would bang. It's a compliment.

I"m 50 and my husband thinks I'm hot. There are lots of hot older women.
@garlog Not if an old dude takes it too far and actually starts making offers and touching you. Unfortunately even these exist, and I sadly have experience with that, and I don't even go to bars or anything. Last time it happened was when I sat next to one on a bus, and I was creeped out for months (note that I was 15 at the time, and even that didn't stop him). No young dude ever does that because they respect others' personal space and mostly back off when they're unwanted. Old dudes don't give a fuck if they give you nightmares and trust issues.
Also, another factor is a biological one. The older a man gets, the less fertile he is and the higher the chance for a malfunctioning offspring. Our bodies recognize that and are repulsed by these old geezers, which is why getting hit on by one creeps us the hell out.

>young people are respectful and don't make unwanted advances
>old people are not respectful and do make unwanted advances
The prejudice is strong with this one. Are you saying that old dudes do creepier things, or are they just creepier because of their age?

i do think older men seem to give less fucks and this are more prone to going with their desire to be disrespectful when hitting on a woman. at least thats my guess as to why i get hit on uncomfortably more often at work by old men than men my age. the one today was at least around my age for once...
^Exactly. You call it prejudice but we call it experience. An unpleasant experience. And from mine, most young dudes only make unwanted moves when drunk, and if so, they back off when you tell them to. Older men just don't give a fuck.
Old women arnt hot? Helen mirren has a thing or two to say about that. Quite frankly any man who excludes their own age group as a choice to date has issues. Grow up and stop thinking only with your old man penis.
i must have missed the part where someone said "all old men are creeps" seems to me it was relatively clear throughout that everyone was talking about the tendency of different groups, not accusing any entire group of acting a certain way.

That's slightly different, as sexual attraction is a matter of personal opinion.
@deviledapple
"No young dude ever" is definitely referencing an entire group.
@garlog
I take your point, sexual attraction is a matter of opinion, yes. However, if you're attractive to someone, but they're not attractive to you, and upon learning that you don't find them attractive they ignore that and still try to hit on you, it's a matter of respect and manners. And I have met older men who ignore the fact that the attraction isn't reciprocal much more often than guys my age.
I generalized to make my point seem stronger, but it came out wrong. It didn't work out I see, but that's a problem of miscommunication caused by the fact that English isn't my native language. The point was never to say "all old guys do this" but rather "statistically more old guys than young guys do it". Are we clear now?
Yes. I don't necessarily agree that that statistic is accurate, but to my knowledge no such actual study exists, and as a penis-bearing person I obviously don't have any experience to speak of.
*cracks whip*
...acting your age?
You're so lucky I'm into silly socks...
Like that? ;)
