I don’t think that we can set a number for our dating range. I think that it’s dependent of many variables. I have dated older and have no regrets! It was a mutually beneficial experience to both parties. I would have missed some of my happiest experiences if I restricted myself to a certain range. We have one life. I take happiness when it comes along.

This isn't a serious post, right?

You're a womAn dating a straight man in a modern first-world country. You're not a "disempowered" victim, and you can't use that excuse to sponge off him if you can well afford to pay your way - especially at the start of the relationship.

I know it's probably a wind-up but given how much of this US identity politics nonsense seems to be leaking into the Real World here these days, it can be hard to tell, especially among the younger age group.

I remember when I was in third level (a few years ago now!) and all this was just starting to kick off. You could feel it just bubbling beneath the surface. There were occasional rumblings about all men being potential rapists by virtue of the fact that they have a penis (although apparently that's not longer a pre-requisite). I just remember thinking, that's like saying everyone is a potential thief because they have hands. There was also some noise made about sex (even consensual) being inherently violent because it involves a man penetrating a woman. So even where she says yes, it's still kind of rapey, or something. It seemed very disrespectful to actual rape and abuse survivors.

Don't mind weetabix that way, but cornflakes go right in the bin if they get too soggy.

I beg to differ, at the minimum I would expect a man to have a penis. :pac:

As a womxn, dating a cis het man, I'm already in a very dis-empowered position. I see him paying as a re balancing of the situation which is not balanced to begin with. That's a consequence of the patriarchal structures we live under. I'd rather enter the situation as an equal, in which case I would of course go halves.

What happens if the soyboy you end up going out with earns less than you? Would you still expect him to pay when he can’t get a job with his female studies/anti-patriarch liberal arts degree??

Like most fads it will hopefully have passed by then.

The irony of the pitchfork feminist ideology is that there has never been a better time to be a woman in the western world.

Freedom to pursue education and careers, freedom to marry, remain single, have children, access to contraception and abortion to prevent having children, autonomy over own bodies, no longer viewed as the property of a husband if married, the right to have a relationship with a man or woman, the right to own property in our own name, don't have to worry about losing custody of children if separated etc.

The life of women has changed radically in a very short period of time, and whilst I suspect our Sorcha might be pulling our legs, there are people out there who believe this guff. Any man who identifies as a male feminist is unridable and pretending to believe this in the belief it will eventually get him inside a pair of knickers.

He's probably wearing said pair of knickers himself

When I was 32 I was involved in a quick, passionate, and slightly volatile relationship with an extremely attractive 51 year old woman. It was sensational at the start - she was extremely passionate, highly intelligent, and the love making was absolutely sensational.

However it quickly became apparent why she had been divorced twice. An extremely volatile woman whose temper outside the bedroom was soon matched by her kinks within it. I didn't want to arrive home some day and find out that one of my beloved cats was boiling in a saucepan on the stove.

The breakup was actually surprisingly easy, and I've since stuck to partners who are 5-10 years younger than me.

She probably had caught the film, being older than you. So it had all the romance and passion at the start.
Did she roar "Sink the Bismarck!" every time? That could get irritating.

When someone uses the terminology 'womxn', I automatically know we are never going to find any common ground in that discussion, or probably on anything.

Does "date" imply more than just committing unspeakable acts upon each other?

Yes, apart from 'sinking the Bismarck' and clattering and a few other isms along the way, there is the required door opening and chair fixing and trying to be enthusiastic as they rattle on about their little careers. Women are grand little creatures. Magical beings, capable of shapeshifting from a dishwasher into a midnight nymph. And can be quite intelligent to boot.

Question for Woke Sarah (she/her).

What about a man who holds the door open for you but smacks you on the arse as you're walking through ahead of him?

Is a kind gesture offset but the subsequent behaviour? Or do they balance out?!

Her feminist rage turned to feminine lust when she read this thread. She grew up. Or old(er). Now we watch for whoever else is not posting and that, my friends, is who she's doing the greasy mudwrestling with now... probably a lad twice her age...

This is just bizarre. Plain vanilla. I thought normal people were banned from the Internet. AH at least.

Were you hetero all those 40 years though or are you masquerading as a normal vanilla man just to cause outrage here? If you were hetero and remained male all of those years, are you not thoroughly ashamed of yourself??

Teach her what is normal to you ( man + woman +children = family ) and dont let her on social media !! Thats the real pollutant of the minds of our youth......

If she deleted them herself then she may well be real. That's a scary thought.

What was really scary was bullying of her. If she was a person worth pity, she wouldn't evoke such massive attack.

She's 36 today, i'm 50, married 11 years, I wouldn't date me, don't know how she manages it.

seamus

If I was thrust into the dating game now, I'd probably be looking at an age range 15 years either side of my own. Though more open on the older one.

I mean obviously a 21 year old can be attractive. But in terms of maturity and the things they talk about and having to deal with their friends, just....no.

To argue back is not bullying, it's assertiveness

To broadcast a point and shout everyone down who doesn't agree aka feminism is exactly that, bullying

DFB BOY

I was going with my ex for just over 4 years and we went our seperate ways in early December,I was 34 and she was 51 when we start going out,in fairness she only looks in her early thirties.I have always had a thing for the older women but after this relationship,i think i will go back to around my own age group :):)
