Is it normal guy asked me out then turned me down because he...?
So I'm in my mid-twenties but I look about 16 which isn't that big of a deal for me. My Mom looks young too. She's 57 but many people think she's early 40s. Anyway, this guy comes up to me when I'm at the mall shopping and he said something like, "hey, I hope you don't mind but I just had to come over here because you're super pretty and I wanted to see if I could get to know you. I know it's a long shot" and I said, "aww thanks, that's sweet".
He looked too old for me (in his late 40s) so I was kind of freaked out.
Anyway, he asked me my age and I said, "I'm 25, how old are you?" and he responded with, "I'm 35. Are you really 25? You look like a teenager" and when I said, "yeah, why?" he said something like, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were older. Not to be rude but I seriously thought you were a teenager and I'm just not interested" so I laughed, thinking he was joking and he said, "I'm sorry, you know how it is." So I got confused and asked him what he meant. So he asked if I really wanted to know and he said, "Women age faster than men and anytime now you'll be looking 50 with that saggy skin, tits and wrinkles and shit and that's not how I roll. I like em fresh so I was only hoping to get with you if you were in your teens, sorry about that."
and I got REALLY angry because I'm like who says that and what? My friend's boyfriends all look older than them! Especially my best friend, her boyfriend is younger than her by 4 years and he has a receding hair line at only 22 years old and he has been mistaken for her FATHER.
... And the dude genuinely looks 50 and he's only 35? So I shot back, "well you look a lot older than 35 with your receding hairline. you have nearly no hair left and you're only 35 telling me I'll look 50 soon when I look like I'm 16, that makes a lot of sense." And then he called me a bitch and told me that men don't want women in their mid twenties and that I'm in denial if I don't accept the fact I'll look 50 in a few years.. WHAT
IIN? Is this how MEN are nowadays? Is this how they truly think???
