Is this gross?

I have an acquaintance who is approaching mid 40s and has mostly dated only 20 something year olds. He’s dated a few women in their 30s but claims he’s only ever really enjoyed sex once with a 21 year old. He was a virgin until his 30s.

This is pretty weird right?

Just a little

HmmConfused

JustThisLastLittleBit · 03/11/2021 12:06

What business is it of yours or ours?

Signalstation · 03/11/2021 12:07

Sounds like he's got some sort of issue. Is he emotionally immature?

HugeAckmansWife · 03/11/2021 12:13

Possibly unusual but not gross or weird. I would imagine he has some issues about women who have had sex with other men which will make finding a partner difficult. He may actually just not really enjoy it anyway and may find happiness with someone who feels similarly.

Tal45 · 03/11/2021 12:21

Sounds like he has a lot of issues.

YeahImThatB · 03/11/2021 12:32

He sounds predatory.
There are a lot of men like this out there.
I don’t think him being ”old virgin” matters though.
He’s just a creepy man, world is full of them.

Are they both consenting adults? Why are you sticking your nose in?

LaBellina · 03/11/2021 12:48

As long as they’re both consenting adults there’s nothing gross about it. There are lots of women that love older men, I’m one of them. That does not mean I’m gross, weird or a victim of a predator.

FleasInMyKnees · 03/11/2021 12:50

Why is it gross.

Cornettoninja · 03/11/2021 12:56

It’s not gross or weird and I agree with previous posters that it sounds like he’s got some issues

YeahImThatB · 03/11/2021 13:00

Why don’t women his own age want to be with him….?

altmember · 03/11/2021 13:04

These women are 20+ and they're choosing to date him, so presumably they're fine with it. And that's all that matter really.

It's not clear if he only enjoyed sex once with the 21 year old just because he was 21, or if it was just coincidence that she was that age? It would be certainly be a bit weird if he's saying he can/can't enjoy sex with someone based on their age.

givenuponlove99 · 03/11/2021 13:14

allaltmember He said he only enjoyed sex with a 21 year old when he was 41. He hasn't enjoyed sex with other women, including another 21 year old who he claimed was obese.

Yeah discussing sex lives with acquaintances is pretty weird

IWillFindYou · 03/11/2021 13:14

It’s definitely creepy!

givenuponlove99 · 03/11/2021 13:14

It does seem to be an age and body shape thing.

OP posts:
IWillFindYou · 03/11/2021 13:21

Are you about the same age as him?
If yes, it’s probably some weird ”alfa-male” garbage.
Go check boards that are more m*le dominant.
A lot of them think women over 25 are used good etc.
And telling you how he scores young one’s (or so he says) could be some sort of power move (in his head) to show you how you are over the hill (you are not).
He sounds misogynistic.

Queenoftheashes · 03/11/2021 13:22

Sounds gross to me

givenuponlove99 · 03/11/2021 13:27

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head
IWillFindYou He seems to be showing off, and shows interest in me, then doesn’t

I’ve just remembered he has talked of being an alpha male and wanting a partner who follows his lead, and a younger woman being more amenable than older women who are less attractive and more stuck in their ways
He jokes about this but it’s clear it’s not a joke really

I couldn’t be interested in him

@givenuponlove99

allaltmember He said he only enjoyed sex with a 21 year old when he was 41. He hasn't enjoyed sex with other women, including another 21 year old who he claimed was obese.
That still doesn't mean it's definitely just an age obsession thing for him, although it does sound a bit like it.

What do you mean by he show's interest in you? As in a coming on to you, wanting to be more than friends?

Regardsless, he sounds like an arse, and someone that you don't like. You don't need people like this in your life, so why not distance yourself from him?

Cornettoninja · 03/11/2021 13:55

Who he’s had sex with doesn’t sound weird or gross. His overall attitude is gross (unfortunately not as weird as it should be).

It was a pretty big piece of info to leave out of the OP tbh, his attitude is clearly a big part of the picture.

traka · 03/11/2021 14:03

Totally legal, end of

JudgementalCactus · 03/11/2021 14:03

That would give me the ice. But I'm judgemental like that...

JudgementalCactus · 03/11/2021 14:04

Ick* not ice
