So things haven't been as non-traumatic as you've been insinuating.

Wasn't it Tom in Parks and Recreations telling that to Andrew?

No, we wouldn't? Who else are you speaking for? That sentence was really meant for guys, especially single guys and your hubby sounds whipped so his opinion doesn't count.

TBPO.. Yes I was sexually assaulted when I was 21, but I wasn't as traumatized as I was P****d off that someone could just take advantage of someone merely because I was smaller and weaker. I did, at the behest of my mom undergo counseling and my therapist was actually quite impressed on how well I handled it. And I attribute that to my parents and the way they raised me. I will try ( if your really interest, but I doubt you will because it doesn't fit your agenda.. Being that young women who " date" older men are somehow damaged goods and are not capable of using their own free will).
I think that you are comparing my situation with the OP and the 19 year old. Which is apples to oranges.
First off.. I don't "date" older men exclusively....
Secondly ... I was 25 when I started up with the gentleman in question. I'd already graduated from college, owned my own home, was gainfully employed. In my young life I'd already traveled to 6 countries. ( a couple of them multiple times, mostly by myself), learned to speak, read and write fluently 2 foreign languages and a third conversationally.
I'd venture to guess that I've probably done more and experienced more than many who are older than I and I believe I can say without recrimination that I've done way more than most people my age. (Talking from real experience here).
When I was 21 I received an inheritance that allowed me quite a different lifestyle than that of the majority of my peers and more in tune with the man I am "dating".
What I have discovered is that a lot of guys my age are either focused on their careers as am I or looking to settle down, marry and have kids. Or.. They're content with working their 9-5 jobs, drinking beer and playing video games.
Nothing wrong with that.. Just of no interest to me. Some day.. But not now.
Dating an older man allows me the freedom to do my thing without being judged or have my motives questioned.
So Mr Armchair analyst.. What's your claim to fame. What qualifies you judge and know what's in the mind of the opposite sex?

I'd basically own my own since I was 18 ( went to college out of state).
Hmmm... not quit as unremarkable past as you were insinuating. I wonder how I magically knew that you had some kind of serious trauma in your past?

Maybe because a high percentage of women will experience sexual assault. That's a satistical fact, not some impressively intuitive revelation.

17%. That's too many, but not realy close to a high percentage.

Ditto. Not to downplay rape or sexual assault in any way, but we can't attribute every sexual proclivity to deep-seated trauma. Sometimes it is a contributing factor, and sometimes it's just a matter of personal preference.

So, any 19 y/o woman dating an ancient 38 dude or older has daddy issues, traumatic brain injury, been sexually assaulted, raped and crappy parents?

Am I missing something? Oh, can't forget golddiggers, Lol.
