Is the number of my age constantly hanging above my head? (22M)

[Ch****]

Your profile should read, "Im tall. Really tall.  Im kinky because I have ........   Im looking for a person who is ............ "  Then offer an opinion on the Beatles to show youre aware they existed, another on Chappel Roan (NOT Taylor and the Chiefs...too controversial). And close.

As a 33 yr old woman, only thing I care as far as age, is difference between my partner and myself. I prefer my partners to be mature emotionally. That doesn't happen with age. I have met some 18 yr olds who are as mature as 30 yr olds. And I've met 60 yr olds who are as immature as 16 yr olds.
Unfortunately, most will use age as a gauge to determine everything.

I think that’s the reality I’ve come to accept 😂 someone probably fucked it up for the rest of the bunch

Cheeky 😂😂I appreciate your advice and the straight forwardness. Something I needed to hear. And I’m never leaving the chiefs out ❤️

Awesome question l wonder that myself

You say age feels like a shortcut people use to decide what you know, what you want, and what you are capable of. You are quite perceptive and also accurate. Everyone, everyone, whether they are consciously aware of it or not, make reads on others that way. Its roots are ancient. Pattern recognition linked to survival.
An example- our ancestors who noticed movements in the tall grass and associated that with danger got eaten by lions less often than those who didn’t. The startle response, fight or fight, it’s not something we take time to consciously think about. It’s an adaptive trait. The landscape has changed. Life threatening danger isn’t prevalent as it once was. But our traits don’t change at the rate civilization does.
Quick and dirty initial reads are time savers. Evolution doesn’t consult fairness.
Young people know less than older people, broadly speaking. It’s statistically true, on average. As an individual you may know more than 99% of all people. But our hind brains, our lizzard brains, are not designed to recognize that. They are designed to see and decide based on patterns, not to suspend judgement, investigate, etc. “young” fits the pattern of knowing less. As you aptly stated it’s a shortcut people use to decide not what you know specifically, but that you know less in comparison to “old”. Our lizzard brains do what they were designed to do. It doesn’t concern itself with fair. It saved us from the lion, which didn’t concern itself with fair either.
Before you know it you will be wishing you were 22. With age comes wisdom. But not everything that comes with age are benefits. Our lizzard brains take snapshots when they see old too.
Depressing to think about in some ways. Less depressing than being eaten by lions I imagine.

I’ll be 100% honest. It has nothing to do with the younger Dominant. It has all to do with me and my comfort level. I am actually really attracted to men in their late 20s. You should see my eyes glaze over when I see a good looking 27 year old man especially if he had dominant vibes. I like the confidence. I’ve even been approached be a couple men that age and was sorely tempted. But I always hold back because of my own confidence. And I always look ahead in my head to the future. Being almost double a man’s age leads to no future and I’m not into casual. Don’t get me wrong, I have a major thing for 20 something male Kdrama actors lol. I can get some good fantasies going. I get chills from the pure dominance in those dynamics. But as I get older.. I can’t imagine myself ever going younger no matter how dominant the man is. I actually have my filters set for 40 and older only to contact me. It may be my loss but that’s on me. Don’t let others make you believe it’s about you. I wish you great luck!!

I would suggest that age can often be a deciding factor.
As much as people may say that age is irrelevant, that other personality traits are paramount, ***ly it's always going to lay heavily in their thoughts.
There's to old and too young. Unfortunately that can't be helped.
I'm too old now for example. I know it's true but I live with that.
All you can do is do your best like they probably told you at school. 😉

[sw****]

Why even be worried about the opinion of random online profiles..
My suggestion.. get out there, meet people and live life!

[Sa****]

I'm not trying to be judgemental, I just don't want to go too young, experienced or not. I know that there are different levels of maturity. Absolutely do what you feel is right for you & your dynamic.

The best dom I ever had was when I was 17, he was 18 and he just “got it”. Experience helps people who need help. Some people are just naturally great lovers and age doesn’t matter when it comes to that. It’s all about paying attention, going with instinct, being free and letting things unfold organically. One could actually say most people forget how to be good lovers over time by becoming less curious.
The hang up usually comes when I see guys who remind me of a younger family member or someone’s kid I know or when I think about how old I was when this person was born. Sometimes young guys still have baby face. It’s just the “ick” factor.
But yeah in general when I think of younger, I remember back to when I was that age and what the men were like then and it doesn’t give me warm and fuzzy feelings lol just images of grubby hands pushing past all of my boundaries. I will say that this younger gen of guys seem WAY more respectful than those of my generation which I fully appreciate. Plus, the erection quality of younger men is +++

You may have to get on stage and testify for me sometime 💀 I’m confident and have a high enough competitiveness to know I will compete to be the best I can at something I want, sex included, I think sometimes me being 6’6 and 260 pounds on top of being young just stacks and stacks onto each other. I didn’t pick my height but I do have control of my weight of course. Eventually I’ll find my person that makes me feel the same when I’m older looking back at the age I am now. Just got to be curious like you say ❤️ thanks beautiful

Your height is awesome & don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

I like your op and I like your follow-ups. I’ve been following the thread. I read your most recent reply. I then reread your op. I remembered it differently. I think it might be due to my age. There is a small part of your post that I don’t think anyone else has addressed so I will take a shot at it.
The point at which age stops being a ceiling isn’t something most people like to talk about, or even think about. People at funerals think and talk about it though. Thinking about your age in relevance to its ceiling probably doesn’t cause you any concern.
Some people’s age is a shortcut others use to decide “put him out of his misery”. People who are that age? They see you and think “I’d give anything to be his age again.”
Enjoy your youth. It has its drawbacks, that’s true. But lot of old people would be willing to trade places with someone your age. And they are old and wise!Maybe you’re sitting on a goldmine youngster. I didn’t see it that way when I was your age. It looks different to me now.

I guess I fall under that same dynamic even at my age. I miss being younger living at my parents not having to adult 😂 I guess that can be an analogy to me when I’m older missing the chance to get with girls the age I am now. I think it’s more because I have a preference mainly for woman older, and probably 80% of older woman aren’t too into younger guys my age. But I’ll hit my 20% buddy believe that 😂 cheers 🥂

When I was your age I had a very strong preference for older women. Mid to late 30’s and 40’s. They were flattered and enjoyed the attention. Happy when I approached and were not trying to brush me off. If they were with other women the same age, that was even more the case. The only thing was I had to be aware of the evil eye from a friend. But girls your age will have someone in the group who runs a cockblock move too. At least the older ones don’t just throw a hand grenade at you, they put out more clues they are irritated by what’s happening. They give their friend more respect to exchange a number, etc. They are more independent and don’t rely on their friends approval like girls do. I don’t know where you live or where you try talking to women. Figure out where the 40 year old woman socialize and go there. Just be mindful of body language to understand basic messages of interest, lots of interest, lack of interest, or active disinterest. Kinda like green yellow red, just more colors and they change quicker.
I always thought they were a lot easier to deal with in many ways.

That’s exactly what I think. It translates a lot better face to face I bet.

Girls are vicious. I need a woman that has her own life already figured out and can speak for herself. It’s honestly a lot more fun too, the chase of a woman older than you when you’re younger. I’m definitely still figuring it all out though

Yeah, girls being viscous. Wasn’t a thing. Girls were respectful with boys in the mating ritual back when I was young. There were standards for both boys and girls. If a girl were to ridicule or laugh at a boy for trying to ask her out the sign she had above her head was “piece of shit”. It just didn’t happen. Back then almost all girls had boyfriends. Accepting gifts from a boy they didn’t have a genuine interest in?- shameful, deceitful

So this IS something where your age may disadvantage you.

As someone else said she had an amazing Dominant when she was younger, who was around her age.

I don't want to sweeping statement about women - but - like, if there were men 40-50 chasing after women who were 20-22 then, ahem, legal but creepy. (*and not legal everywhere!) and the same is true in the case of women and younger men.  Add in, again not wanting to be sweeping statement - but a woman who has her shit together trying to get your shit together is, well, work and emotional labour - it's less appealing.
