Those are some heavy duty quality women there. Any girl that can take a punch is a keeper.Yeah, that sounded like a disaster. What worthwhile 25 yr old still needs permission for anything today? She obviously didn't need for the kid-making and lack of condom use. Brad, you may have to start looking for women outside of the local Mennonite watering hole....
I like video games and she did too. I was willing to see how things went based on that. It was definitely something we could have done together.
I took the advice and I’m blowing it off.
She was 7 when EQ came out. What kind of connection do you think you have with video games here?
Did you at least verify yet that she doesn't mean candy crush?
Edit: Oh I see her mother broke up with you. Good luck on the house thing.
Are you always this easily irritated? Even wished you gl on that house thing...How’s the rape going in Germany? Added to the #metoo movement yet?

Yeah.
So she text me Tuesday morning. I responded but we didn’t start talking again until that evening. Then she went dark around 5pm. By then I had found out she is 25, doesn’t care that I’m 41. Has a 4 year old daughter and her parents have helped her a lot. She got pregnant at 20 and her parents had her quit her first and only job and she was pretty much a “stay at home wife” the last few years.
Weds morning she sent a text around 8:30 and apologized for not responding and explained that her parents are super protective and strict and since she just got this job a month ago, she doesn’t have her own phone and only has that phone for safety when she is out and about.
Thursday we talked all day and she said that she had noticed me and thought I was attractive even though I’m chubby, but knew she really liked me when I payed for that kid’s lunch. The next time I came in, she was excited I gave her the note and said it was special because I didn’t just say “text me, cutie” which she says she usually throws away. I did eat there this evening and she cane to my table and we chatted for 10 minutes or a bit more. The girl very much seems interested. Touched my shoulder a couple of times. Touched her hair and face. Blushed a lot. Typical signs.
At the end of the day, she said she would text me tomorrow (last Friday) and I haven’t heard from her since. I just happen to go by there today, so I have held off on my lunch until I go by. I suppose I’ll see if she is there and how she responds.
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
Well, and that's the thing. Everyone here is talking about what kind of relationship you'd have with a 16 year gap, and that's not really the point. Early on, relationships are based upon chemistry anyway, and either the spark is there or it's not. There's nothing wrong with throwing down younger women as a dude, there's a lot of biological impulse both directions there. The trick is just keeping it at that, and not getting suckered into a giant commitment where now you're taking care of her.
Do I think that Brad has that ability or idea in mind? No. If you're just gonna fuck her, go ahead. But don't pretend she's "the one" and start buying her shit to win her affection. She's looking for someone to take care of her kid.
Don't take responses so personal. People here can only respond with the information given and often have to respond with generalities, since we're not all best friends in real life.I like how in the past it was assumed that I was going to be a horrible father because I was going through a divorce and was having a hard time with it. I was able to negotiate No Child Support payments, yet I still pay more each month than most dads that are forced to pay. I spend every minute that I have available with him and I make sure he has every gadget and trinket I wish I would have had if I were his age. At the same time I teach him to respect what he has.
I’m also 10 years divorced not by my choice. I’m not in a second (or third) marriage because I’m careful about my choices I make with a potential mate. On top of that, I don’t have any illegitimate children running around with women I had one night flings with. Because I’m careful about my choices. Also disease free.
Feel free to jump on the Etoile Bash Brad train, but I can assure you that you have no idea what you’re talking about when you question my ability to form a healthy relationship. I, personally, do not think age matters. I think, in my dating experience, that having one large core hobby in common and similar personalities is the most important. I have dated all kinds of women, but I was always missing one of those two things with each.
As for wanting to fuck this last woman: Hell yeah I wanted to. She was my type and I liked her ass. But I am fully aware that doesn’t form a healthy relationship. There were other things that had potential. I was optimistic about it.
And going back to the age gap: I’m 41, but I don’t look like it. I can assure you that if any of you guys were blessed with a youthful appearance and were still single, you would be dating mid 20’s women as well. I’m not college educated. I’m not rich, but I look good for my age and for a chubby guy.
