All The Men In NYC Who Will Disappoint You

You probably didn't read our guide to dating a DILF and decided to go for dating an older guy. Or, you did read our guide, but due to your constant battle of both wanting to rebel against authority figures (a.k.a. me) and bang authority figures (a.k.a. older dudes) due to your crippling daddy issues, you decided to date the older guy anyway. Who knows? Maybe his approval will finally satiate your hunger for validation.

Except it won't.

Literally all of the girls I know who have dated older guys who have been married before tell me the same thing: "He said that he got married too young and that's why he's single in his 40s or 50s." Totally understandable. Then, they usually follow up with an excuse like, "his college girlfriend goaded him into marriage" or "his parents pressured him into it." First off, bullshit. No one can force you to get married. It wasn't an arranged marriage in some backwards country or a story arc on Vanderpump Rules for ratings. That's the first red flag.

These older guys then gas you up and put you on a pedestal because "you're so mature for your age." You're a millennial. There are very few of you that are mature for your age. Like I said before, I know a bunch of girls who have dated older guys. Note that none of them are my friends because they're not the endearing kind of maladjusted. They're the "I don't want to breath the same air as you or risk sharing a toilet seat with you" level of maladjusted. So the fact that this guy feels like he has a lot in common with you is not a good thing because he just shows how emotionally stunted he is. Have fun explaining this man to your father and your shrink, though!
