The prosecution rests! Actually, you might have noticed that I used the words typically and probably. That implies that there are exceptions. |

And I would argue that most of those men that could have anybody and go for the young hotties are typically more immature. Remember, too, I used the words "emotionally attracted to", quite abit different than physically attracted to. Also, how often do those relationships with the much younger women work out? Thankfully, I don't have to worry about it anymore. |

I agree with your second paragraph, Aqua, but the first one contradicts it. If age is just a number, then the age gap shouldn't mean anything. In general, though, age isn't a number. Typically, it's a pretty good indicator of where somebody is in their life. How much life experience they have, and what sort of things they are looking for. That's not always the case, but it is enough of the time, that it should be considered. |

It's not really a contradiction. You're right in that age can be a decent enough indicator if you have nothing else to go on, but conclusions are hard to draw based on age alone. If someone is in their mid-20s, it's a good guess that they're just starting to get into more professional employment, and are living on their own. But if you place someone in their mid-20s in front of me -- 89th for instance -- I'm not going to draw any conclusions about him until I talk to him. I'm going to forego my assumptions because I have an opportunity to ask him and know for sure. I suppose I'm trying to make a distinction between generalizing a group of people, and applying that generalization to an individual who is categorized within that group. |

Yes, there are MANY immature older people, and mature younger people (like us, and 89th and Ben). So far, for me, it just seems that I get along better with the older ones. Believe me, I have given guys my age a chance (sometimes even two), just not much luck. Maybe in a few years.... That survey sounds right. Anyway, I was thinking about it in the car earlier, and there is also this as far as younger guys are concerned: many of them are going to be moving away after graduation. I plan on staying here for a few more years to make some money and apply to grad school and maybe commute to UVA (IF I get in). I have moved every 5 years of my life. I'm tired of it. I want to settle somewhere for a few extra years. |

Well, we all have our own criteria. For what it's worth I don't much relate to people my age either, but the same goes for older people, too. I think I just plain don't relate to people, regardless of age. ![]()
Moving SUCKS. I'm so tired of it myself. I have moved.... nine times since I graduated in '04. This coming summer will be number ten. At the same time though, it's kept me in check with with my possessions. I'm not acquiring a lot of stuff I can do without, which I think is good. I'd like to settle into an area eventually, but I know that it's not going to be anywhere close to where I'm living now. So, that's going to go on the back burner for awhile. Where else would you go to grad school besides UVA? |

I don't know about grad schools yet. I'm only considering UVA because one of the professors' research interests includes what I would write my thesis on (Beethoven's symphonies, although I may switch to his piano sonatas), AND because I could possibly commute, which would mean not moving. I really like Farmville (never thought I would) and want to stay, but it all depends on grad schools...and if I can get a job here.... |

Farmville is one of those sleepy little towns that young people can't wait to move away from and older people can't wait to move into after a life on the rat race treadmill. Plays and I go there every now and again to Greenfront's. They have some great stuff. Farmville is a cool town. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |
