    Mine was late 20’s with folks +/-2 years; I got a lot of folks wanting a father figure, or wanting a provider. The level of possessive crazy was also just off the chart.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    As someone who teaches 18/19 year olds (and overhears snatches of their lives), trust me, they’re dumber than you remember being. It’s not worth it; their priorities and yours DO NOT align.

      I’m in my 40s and I’ve spent the past decade+ dodging ladies who want a daddy, even though they are my own age.

      I never encountered any of this in my 10s/20s, people just wanted a normal partnership/friendship type of relationship. I miss it so much. I’d kill to meet a girl like my LTR in my mid/late twenties… but part of why we broke up is she basically went from being a independent and successful to demanding I pay her bills for her because she shouldn’t have to pay bills because she is a girl…
