When I was a kid, I demanded respect and an "equal treatment" from everyone. And while some teachers were able to recognize it as an ambition, and push me to be far ahead of other kids in their classes, I was also literally fired from a kindergarten.

And almost fired from one primary school. Because it is just so outside of the acceptable norms, that some adults couldn't handle the ego hit.

At least, when I did eventually grow up, this attitude gives me a HUGE advantage, when doing any buisiness, because ability to look a billionaire in the eyes and talk as equal does in fact open many doors.

@SaintGuinefort @Moon @newt Yeah that’s the norm. Most people are low-energy conversationalists, they’re at best a neutral party, and at worst a leech. I don’t really share the same touchstones as the rest, so maybe I’m just ambivalent on a shared pop culture repertoire as everyone else.

I never planned on being the 30 yo dating a 21 yo (narrowly missed that 10-yr gap), but after giving it a shot the big difference is that she’s just not jaded and miserable. Girls are, on average, living pretty rough lives. Not physically, or even economically, but spiritually. (Guys too, but they’re better at leaving it at the door and trying to keep a clean slate in a new relationship)

Someone said once “It’s not about your age, it’s about how many years you’ve been making bad decisions“ and it summarizes my feelings of dating every teacher, nurse, and eternal master’s program student over 25. They’re just jaded, and disappointed, and so many can’t even realize that they’re incapable of seeing anything without the tint of all their past “traumas”. They’re haunted by their exes, their never-were’s, their one-night-stands, they’re angry that life didn’t go the way they expected, they’re in a rush to get

@Moon @newt WTF am I supposed to talk about with her? I don’t even speak the same language as girls my own age, are you guys talking about street sharks and bionicles or something?

I date down because girls my same age have been making bad decisions for too long, there’s always an interminable therapy component to the relationship where I have to account for every wrong ever done to them by their previous exes.

I am 27, and I still put my birthday at 1sy of january 1980 or whatever year just lands under the cursor.

They don't need to know the exact date. They don't need to know the exact decade either.

@WashedOutGundamPilot This is likely also an outcome of microagression theory; discrimination/racism in the form of syllable stress and word choice.

Has to be brutal for an age group with limited vocabulary. Even as an adult in that environment the safest route is "yes/no" and speak only when spoken to. Silencing like this has some pretty horrible outcomes in the form of insular cliques/gangs and settlement of grievances by means other than diplomacy.
