I’ve actually been surprised at how many younger guys have reached out to me on OLD. I’m trying to stay within six or seven years of my age although most of the guys I’ve dated have been four to six years younger. TDH was seven years younger and looking at us together, you would have probably assumed he was the older one.
Totally agree with the “too many choices” theory. I think that is a big issue. Except the reality is that it is more of an illusion of choice since most people will not get a response from a great number of people they message unless they are in that top 10%. Before OLD, you would meet someone IRL and if there was a mutual attraction, you’d start dating. So simple!!!! Nowadays, you are acutely aware that the “right” person might still be out there and you just haven’t seen their profile yet or worse, you did see it, but it was so bad you swiped left and missed out. Talk about a perfect set up for over thinking…as you can clearly see in my thread…lol.
