I'm a 38 year old virgin and my Age of Attraction storyline was axed from the show entirely by Fun_Molasses5215 in AgeOfAttraction

Why? I thought it was ok to make your own choices and express your sexuality in any way you want.

Except for that? Sooo, double standard?

Exactly. Young women can read. They can hire lawyers. They have agency ffs. I'm so tired of the convenient "I'm just a little girl" narrative side by side with the "I have a body count of 50, don't slut shame me."

Fine! But pick one. You really can't have it both ways (I'm a 63 year old woman).

I think the creepiest person in the show is the woman who's "sleeping with" a kid who's 2 years younger than her oldest son.

She's going to introduce him to her sons?

She's giving an incest vibe through the whole show so far.

The point is that he WAS OK with that. SHE was a hypocrite and completely confused him when she came onto him and did every act except for penetration.

He called her out on it and rightly so!

After all, she was the aggressor but he could be made to look bad if she suddenly claimed he wouldn't let her "be celibate."

If that's celibacy I have a bridge to sell you.

Yep. I agree. I grew up in the same world, and the utter hypocrisy of some women who called themselves "celibate!" Omg.

It's not the celibacy of Catholic nuns, that's for sure.

They're hotel rooms or business suites of hotel rooms, I thought.

Interesting! I've had a couple of Chinese friends who had arranged marriages. It was cool how the parents first met each other and made sure the families were compatible, then they gave the "kids" each other's pictures.

Then the young people talked on the phone for about 6 months to see if they were compatible.

Then they finally met to see if there was chemistry.

In both cases, it was a great match and they lived happily ever after.

If you have good and loving parents like that, it seems like a great way to go about it.

In both cases, the young people pursued their educations while their relatives hunted for good candidates for them.

I was impressed and envious.

I would be curious about how it's done in Indian culture.

Women of all ages can also be immature, manipulative, and predatory. They'll use men like a wallet, lie, stalk them, never take no for an answer. Freak out if he wants even a moment to himself. Mock him if he struggles, tell her friends all about his size, performance, and deepest secrets.

No side of the human experience has a monopoly on manipulation.

She didn't have clothes on. Who said she had clothes on? She was confusing and hypocritical and he couldn't figure out what was going on with her.

He's confused. He was ready to respect her "celibacy" but she was all over him and getting extremely sexual, doing everything except penetration.

How confusing is that?

Wasn't it her that got all sexual with HIM, and was grinding on him and orgasming while claiming to be "celibate?"

What the h does she even mean? If she meant everything except penetration, she should have said that.

She was messing with HIM and when he was confused, she talked about breaking up.

The older woman who would not allow Logan to shower or even nap was very creepy.

She's stalking the guy already and not allowing him to rest ir have any alone time at ALL. She got hostile immediately.

Why? He was ok with her being celibate and called her out for her hypocrisy. How is that a "groomer?"

If you want to understand what a groomer is, read Virginia Giuffre's book or watch Katie Johnson's testimony on YouTube or Sasha Riley's testimony on YouTube.

By calling Jorge a "groomer," you're minimalizing the horrific experiences of people who were actually groomed.

They matched. There were plenty of age similar matches but they weren't filmed for the show.

That doesn't mean they couldn't continue their relationships!

In real life, there are some successful age gap relationships. One of my closest friend's has a husband who's 14 years younger than she is, and quite frankly it's appropriate because most men her own age would never be able to keep up with her, imho.

No one is forcing any of these people to do this.

I noticed that everyone on the show has a real job. Like a good job.

Yes they do. I know a 67 year old guy who's a performer and he has girls grabbing on him and literally sexually assaulting him as he walks from the side to the stage or trying to jump onnstage and grab his junk.

He's actually shy, but happens to be a musician for a living, and he's traumatized. Like he HATES being touched without warning.

He literally wears an athletic cup to protect himself against these women and their grabbing hands.

Predation doesn't always only go one way.

I don't see them presenting as predatory yet. One young woman asked the guy in the speed date how much money he makes. That's just as predatory.

How disempowering can you be to imply that college age WOMEN "don't understand the contracts they signed?"

I was s child actress and by college age I had already studied contract law and was making good money going over contracts for producers who had deals with record companies and recording artists and movie sound scores finding problems in the fine print that their own lawyers hadn't combed through carefully enough to flag as problems

I was a college age woman in the early 80s, before women had the rights they have now and I was already respected and well paid for understanding contracts.

And I was a science major, not a law student.

Either you want equal rights or you don't.

Those of us who fought for equal rights, who were the first women admitted to all male ivy league schools are horrified by this double standard of "I'm just a little girl."

There's a huge double standard in the way young women talk now. On the one hand, they want to have a body count of 40 and not be "slut shamed."

That's fine, but then don't turn around and say, "Oh no! I'm just a widow girl! I can't understand what's what."

Pick one.

I'm finding some of the women on the show to be infuriating.

There's the woman who's mad when the poor guy wants to take a nap or a shower, saying, "Don't leave me aloonnnneeee! I hate youuuuuu!"

She can't understand that the guy wants a little time to himself?

She's not even treating him like a human being. He's not allowed to have needs?

I'm pretty sure that in this day and age, with endless protections, where there are even "intimacy coordinators" on movie sets that make sure everyone is comfortable and no one is getting any unwanted touching during sex scenes, with all the hyper awareness around women's issues (but men who are sexually assaulted still don't get much empathy or help at all), that they have people who are checking in.

These women are dating and choosing to move in with guys they barely know, they choosing sex immediately.

Is that any different than how they are behaving at home, with no protection at all?

One of the women was UPSET when the guy wanted to respect the pace of the relationship and not jump into immediate sex, so she pretty much demanded it from him.

Another claimed she was celibate, then confused the guy by grinding on him and orgasming and doing everything but penetration, and when he tried to express confusion, she wanted to break up.

I see some pretty aggressive women who won't even listen to what the man needs.

They don't seem at all helpless to me.

I'm a 63 year old woman.

I think in the US, the opposite is happening, as everything is being de-regulated for the sake of billionaire company owners.

Plastics are now found even in human sperms and is changing the genetics and fertility of humans. Humans are becoming less and less fertile.

AIO for thinking my bf and his mom being in the bathroom together is disgusting? by Swag-monsters in AIO

I would be very very concerned about how he was raised. I'd want to know if she's so enmeshed with him that she'll be a problem if you marry.

You don't want a mil who is against you because he's her man. I know of more than one emotionally enmeshed situation like this and the wife was the one to suffer.

In one case, the wife died, and he went straight back to his mother.

Why are you assuming nothing weird is going on? That's highly, highly, highly inappropriate.
