I got bounced into a date with an older man once. As in, a mutual friend gave me a lift to a sports event and then claimed that she had to take someone else home who lived in a different part of the city, so x would give me a lift instead (they both admitted later it was a set up - god knows why because I'm sure I mentioned to them both that I'm not into older men).
He started the chat in his car. He ciearky thought himself much more worldly wise/knowledgeable on all topics and wealthier than me, and was quite patronising. In reality, I was better educated and had at least as good a job. He didn't even have a particularly nice car.
One of his comments was criticising how (female) teenagers dressed - apparently their legs were also too skinny and their chests too large, and he referred to them as "tits on sticks".
By this point, I was desperate to get away, but he pulled into a pub/restaurant car park and announced he would treat me for lunch. I'd just started a strict diet and refused to eat (I would have eaten for a man I'd fancied) so I had to sit through two courses of his drivel while sipping a glass of water. He was so repeatedly rude to the waiter that the waiter started being quite sarcastic to him. I virtually ran away once he pulled up outside my flat.
After a few days, the mutual friend (not really a very close friend, more of a hobby acquaintance) contacted me to say that "despite some areas that needed ironing out, x liked me and wanted to see me again. I'm afraid at this point, I had had enough and let rip, telling her exactly what I thought not only of x but of her choice in men.
Neither she, x or any of their other friends have ever spoken to me again. I know what is is like to be shunned. They give me dirty looks when they see me and Ive been told they gossip about me. It's sheer bliss.
It doesnt end there because another man (this one in his early sixties) hangs around with them but didnt know of my shunning and kept messaging me trying to get me to go out on a date with him. Fortunately, I already knew of his terrible reputation for sleeping with anyone and everyone, not that I'd be tempted anyway.
No idea why all these people don't just go out with each other, but the men seem to want younger women and the women seem to facilitate it to keep the "honour" of hanging around with them. It's all a bit Ghislsine Maxwell...
