the fact of the matter is girls nowadays feel a boost of ego that they can brag
to their girlfriends," i got a college guy," they are just like us. We get juiced when we are currently dating a older woman.
this relationship will begin suddenly and end suddenly, honestly see this as a hit and quit and no need to introduce yourself to the family( its a sign of commitment which will only slow or stifle the relationship). no special opening just act like, "i found this number in my phone thought i check it out".
good luck my friend.
So do you think what you said is actually TRUE as in they will brag to their girl friends, or do you think they prefer to keep it a secret because they might get CRAP for dating an older guy?
I would guess they might be cautious, but again maybe it varies from girl to girl. I knew a girl who was 16 and had a 22yr old boyfriend and she kind of kept him quiet except to a few of her friends. I never heard much of him, never saw him, but eventually I met the guy. For her it seemed like she didnt want to brag because of what people might say. I cant say what the mom and dad deal was like cause she dated him for 2yrs, so she either told them or lied really good. Hard to say.
But at the same time, maybe she didnt brag cause there was nothing to brag about that people would get jealous over. He wasn't fit, he made less than her, he didnt have a car, didnt really no what he wanted in school, and was a sophomore going on probably junior, and he still lived at home. And that was for no reason. Some do it to save, pay for college, etc etc, but he was a pure LAZY ASS. So maybe she didnt brag about him for this reason.
It would be interesting to get an idea of how many girls brag and how many keep it on the DL and are afraid to say anything.
