The 20, 30, and 40+ Year Old Virgin
As the only straight woman within reach, I soon became the de facto dating consultant for my male friends, despite my waning expertise.

Oct 14, · 22 Year old female dating a 38 Year old man Anyhow i don’t know the purpose of this thread, but i am dating a 38 year old guy. I decided and was eager to give this guy a try.
Now she is midway up the career ladder and consumed with climbing even higher. She thinks about dating, and even tries to sometimes, but all the men she meets are Mr. Saturday Night types or, at best, Braying Asses. The kind of sweet, scruffy grad school students she used to date have either morphed into one of the two types mentioned above or stayed sweet and scruffy and are totally threatened by dating someone who makes more money than they do.
She has some trust issues. She has some anger. She has what you might call baggage. The idea of dating makes her want to sleep for days. She is a sympathetic ear for the emotionally conflicted, bridesmaid extraordinaire, the fun auntie who buys the best birthday presents, and on-demand brunch buddy for her gay friends.
