Is this guy's methods for picking up girls normal?

A guy I was talking to in my class said that he goes for younger girls because they are easier to date. Naturally I thought he was going to tell me that it was because they are more energetic and carefree than the girls his own age (he's 27 or 28, cant remember exactly). No, that's not how he sees it.

He told me that he hits on young girls because they are too dumb to know that he's playing them and girls his own age would be on to his game in minutes. I told him he was full of s*** but I am concerned that he might have a point since most of the girls in our class that are similar to the age he likes to date and they do seem very callow, even though they physically appear to be older. Is it normal for guys his age to do that? It seems so sleazy. By the way, he's not my friend, just a classmate.

    Younger people don't necessarily understand relationships yet so they are easily manipulated. That doesn't mean you should manipulate them. Let them grow and learn without regrets please.

      Yup that is true, its like taking advantage of a child. You might be able to trick a child or take advantage of them because they are far less experienced and smaller and usually much weaker. Your freind is geniues. He has picked up on a manipulation tenique.

      ???Sounds like you think I'm the one doing it. I don't even date girls, I like men. I was surprised at this guy's philosophy about dating girls in their late teens. He told me this a while ago, but I can't get it out of my mind.

        I didn't aim that towards you. I'm sorry if it came out that way. You really do seem like a nice guy. I used the word "you" a lot that was the problem. I should've used "people."

    Eh, I've seen it.
    In my neighborhood, I have seen a lot of girls go for older guys because they have a car, a job, their own place and money. They seem to gain a lot of personal merit when they are with someone that they can screw without their Mom walking in on them, I guess.

    Although my friends are the same kind of dumb shits that will brag to all high heavens if they are able to snag a dude with anything more than a criminal conviction to his name. Maybe he's doing what the men who wanted cheap tail in my neighborhood would do too. Made possible because the girls think "OMG oldr men are so much more maturrr ad they kno how to treat REAL woman liek me!".

    Beg him not to breed.

    he is right that they probably won't catch on to his game as quickly as girls his age, but that DOES NOT mean he should be acting like that and going for girls so much younger. I would say he is an asshole, and that a lot of older guys do this!

    It's not that they're dumb, it's that he's more experienced than them.

    I think this is true, and I think alot of boys do this as they think younger girls wont suss out how much of an asshole they really are, the guy will act all nice and do all the usual tricks to win the girl over and younger girls will think they are 'in love' alot easier as they havent really experienced much before I guess. The guys just using them though, its all a game to the guy. My ex does this every time we broke up because girls his age or my age no what hes like and wouldnt be stupid enough to fall for him. Were as younger girls will be like oh hes older and has his own place we can have partys there ect. SO DUMB! I feel for this at 16 with that guy, I am now 19 and he is 23, and he will still pick up 16/17 yr olds It grosses me out. I feel sorry for any young girl that guys do this to.

    I'm going to say normal. Younger people are easier to manipulate.

    Honestly, I think he is exaggerating. There are a select few that really are gullible and easy to manipulate. Most girls understand that ultimately boys/men want the pussy. They choose the older ones because they gots $$$.

    That's pretty common and normal, older guys love younger girls.

    I have an older ex boyfriend who does that. He's dating a girl a few years younger than him for a week, and whenever he's done using her as a sex toy or she wants to get serious he finds a new girl. He's fairly intelligent and charming so for the most part he gets away with it.

    this guy probably has no true self-confidence and/or respect for himself. he feels that being a manslut with younger girls is the only way he will be able to "connect" with someone. obviously he doesn't want a real connection because he can't even understand himself. he has low self-esteem in his techniques.
    it's normal, for an undetermined douchebag.

    It isn't normal to target people whom you -- the generic "you," not the original poster -- hold in contempt as too stupid to know better than to run away from your predatory ass. That's really loathsome behavior. What a revolting creeper he is! Date rapist in the making, if you ask me.

    OP, be very glad that you aren't his type.

    Young maybe more easily manipulated but he is less of a man if he's aiming to take advantage. It also depends on how much "YOUNGER" he's going after.

    I do this too, so i think it's normal. But older women aren't a whole lot smarter when it comes to this stuff. A woman just assumes your good nature when you simply act that way, so it's not hard to trick them. I've left many broken hearts and faces in my time already.

    Younger girls are HARDER to get. They are usually only into teen stuff like music which an older man like me can't relate to.
