I didn't date in high school. I was rather uninterested in everything I saw around me and remained a virgin til the age of 19...those insinuating in this thread that I'm loose or appear loose have likely been a lot more wayward in their actions throughout their lives than I've been...I've always had very particular standards and people accused me of being a lesbian because of my seeming lack of interest in the opposite sex.

There is nothing at all strange at all about a 24 year old dating men in their late 30s; that is well within the range of "normal." People aren't insinuating that you might be a hooker because of the age gap in and of itself. It's because of your physical appearance: obvious wig/weave, colored contacts, and heavy cleavage. That is a very common look for escorts.

We all are free to dress as we like, but people do judge us for it. That's life. (For instance ask any business man how people treat him differently if he is wearing sweatpants as opposed to a nice suit.) You have two choices, and they are the same choices we all have: ignore the judging stares, or change the way you dress.

I think it's rather bizarre that you would insinuate from one photo taken before going out that such is my appearance 24/7. I just came back from Walgreens and my hair is disheveled/curly, I'm wearing a blazer and since I've been working constantly and dated a color blind person, haven't worn colored contacts in at least six weeks. But guaranteed waiting at that bus stop today, someone will stop and offer me a ride, and the last time I even entertained such when the bus was late the guy wanted to know if I would give him a hand job. This did not happen to me when I lived in Manhattan, so I have to assume it's the neighborhood. I do have a "high maintenance" appearance (as in I wear a considerably amount of makeup and I take care in my looks and yes, I do wear a weave), but the majority of my clothing isn't the least bit revealing.

All I can comment on is what you present. If you want a comment on something else, present something else.

It is bizarre to expect people to post comments about something other than what you type and the pic(s) you show.

Really? If I looked at pictures on facebook I would assume all my friends and collegemates were slutty alcoholics, because most of their pictures feature them before, during and after going out and getting all dolled up for it. But I have common sense and realize most people are most likely to both take and post pictures of themselves on Saturday night outings, not weekday afternoons.

I used to be 24 and I never dated anyone my own age. It is well and good to date a man 10-20 years older that u r when you r young, but u pay a price for it. U disconnect with guys your own age who eventually mature and have as much to offer as their more seasoned counter parts. U eventually get older and so does the old dude u r with. Everything changes with age and not always for the better. Looking back on it I can see the benefit of hooking up with someone my own age. I would have had the privilege of growing and experiencing things through the eyes of youth. The bond of growing old together is a rather attractive proposition looking back. Too bad I didn't think so at the time

The question is, why do young women entertain rides from total strangers? If it's late and my brother sees a woman standing for a bus, he'll ask. More times, than a few he has gotten a yes.

I find that disturbing.

This is not a thread about you and your Facebook friends; if it were, I would not have posted.

This is a thread you personally created in which you wondered why people suspect you are a hooker when you are out with an older date. I gave you my opinion which you are free to embrace or dismiss; which option you choose matters not to me.

You don't get to choose how people respond to your presentation.

I live in a very nice neighborhood and while I've declined more rides from people than I can count, I have gotten to a point of desperation because I cannot drive and I live in Nassau county and taking 3 buses for a 15 minute car ride can push anyone over the edge from time to time. Still I've only taken 2 rides from people in my life.

Of course not, but I am similarly free to question their sense and motivations.
