    Yeah, I’m getting divorced at 35 and matching with women younger than 30 freaks me out. This mf’r wants a 17yr old? Yuck.

        Wonder how young it can be by Texas laws, but also don’t want to look it up and be put on a watchlist.

          If you’re not trying to help someone get an abortion or gender-affirming care, you’re probably safe. Those are the real issues! (Sarcastic, if not clear, and referencing the absurd reporting websites some states have set up)

          According to Wikipedia, Texas doesn’t have a “with parental consent” law. If he’s 53, she’s gotta be 17 or older. They wouldn’t be able to get married until she turned 18.

      I got divorced in my late 20s, and started dating again around 30. A girl I had met who was 21 asked me why I hadn’t asked her out, and the truth was she seemed way out of my league - very attractive person, very bright. So I went out with her, and she was nice, but I just couldn’t do it because she seemed so young. Not immature, just young. And it was so strange going out with someone who hadn’t even seen the same TV shows as I watched growing up, which sounds superficial, but it was honestly weird.

      I just can’t imagine dating someone decades younger than me. An underage person with a 53-year-old is just gross.

      I genuinely don’t understand this thinking. The idea of partnering with someone who doesn’t share a similar life experience sounds difficult and frustrating.

      I get that they’re not looking to partner with anyone and that’s the point.
