Dear Women:

I’m sorry you took my post the wrong way. If you’ve dated someone older, that’s fine, don’t get mad at me because I don’t “get” it. My “ill-conceived” “whiny screed” wasn’t to make everyone mad. I’m not angry at older men dating younger women any more than I’m mad at younger women dating older men - I was just calling such practices into question because I didn’t understand how it works having never seriously considered being with someone much older.

Now I’m learning (at the expense of being torn apart Tumblr style). For the same reason I wouldn’t want to date an 18 year old, women appreciate more mature men, men that are naturally older than me. For the same reason I wouldn’t want to teach an inexperienced virgin bedroom behavior women are turning to talented older men with years of honing their bedroom skills.

I must have even proved many readers’ collective points by even posting such an off the cuff whiny rant on my “blog” instead of improving myself in the gym and library and going out there and getting the girls I want before these dirty old men whisk them all up in their black helicopters en route to the next Cannes Festival.

However, such reactions were reblogged. I’m not saying I don’t deserve it, only that it was hardly my intention in posting. I just wanted to understand, not exact revenge or bitch about the state of my personal life. I’m happy with who I am but if you felt you had to defend yourself via reblog, are YOU happy with who you are? I would hope so because if you know me and have read earlier posts you know such weak shit isn’t like me at all. I’ll put together a more comprehensive post, but felt I should respond before this gets completely out of hand.

Love, Me

Dear Peter,

Women in their early-to-mid 20s like dating men who are older because they have grown up a little— not because they are gold digging whores who are willing to “trade their bodies” for material comfort. You don’t want to date 18 year olds for the same reasons we don’t want to date men in their early 20s: they are utterly immature and do things like write ill-conceived, whiny screeds on the internet.

Sincerely,

Women
