FancyKoala
I'm 22 and constantly get lunch with my mums friend who is in her 60's. Shes one of my best friends.
Averysm09
I always chalked it up to a maturity thing....could be rationalizing hahaha
SearchingForUnderstanding
If you try to get along with everyone, your going to end up getting along with no one.
FreshPrinceofDenmark
Yeah... I have the same problem. If I could talk to people my age the way I talk to older people, I'd solve a lot of my problems (19 here).
WallowsInMud
Your not alone, I'm 26, my best friends are 35, 41 and 49. The ham radio club I go too is mostly 40 and up. Only recently made same age 1/2
Friends, through work. Its because of memes too actually which is funny. 2/2
Meg4max
They have lower standards.

The painful truth
hero7leander
Dude, I feel you. I'm the exact same.
cr4zyiv4n
I'm the same way. I can hit on anyone over 30 like i have a degree but anyone my age I feel like a retard
jwan
Middle aged people often have more practiced social skills, young un's often need work. You may prefer their social adeptness.
muffinsss
Can relate
maboes
Same. People our age suck though.

Got any sauce?
I believe I found that pic under the reaction gifs under "cougar" or "mother lover" or "lonely island" something like that..
donttalktomeihaventhadmycoffee
Same: I realized later I lacked confidence. I was too nervous to find my place with peers, but with elders I knew exactly where I stood.
afunnyusernameperiod
Mind if I ask? Why were you confident with older ppl?
because I knew I was less than them in many ways...there was no need to compete so no need to be nervous.
knightperson
this is OPs truth, but he tells himself he is mature
dasklaus
I was like that myself. You will love getting older. I've always had an easier time relating to people 30+ - now they're my own age.
People around me start mourning their youth - I'm thriving. I can't wait to be 40.
UrDumb
It's cause they are mature and not awkward. U still got initiate on most the youngins. They love that shit
justlurkingfornow
Same here. Started working real young and everyone at work treated me like a person while people my age treated me like shit. Now get along
Best with people 10 to 20 years older than me even to this day and I'm 26
marymarymistressmary
Me too
ValiantlyFlailing
my friends teased me about talking to their grandmas too much when they were around. they liked me better than their own kids lol. it's fine
Strongharbour432
Met friends grandparent when a bunch of us went out to their cabin. They asked when I would be around next
by the time you're 30 people will be like how are you so calm and wise about everything and you'll be like guys all I do is talk to everyone
throughthoughtthough
I can relate. I usually get along better with people older or younger than me.
wandergeist
You have a future in geriatric care.
misterbookman
Women between the ages of 50-70 adore me. I'm like the son they never had who didn't screw up their life.
DontcallmeLen
Mrs Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?
ladytroutslayer
This is me. I only ever dated men older than me. Ended up with someone 4 years younger. I love the guy but his friends are shit.
ArchQuantum
This is only temporary, trust me.
iDigDinos
I'm scared to ask this.. what is considered middle age?
tricksypixie
Generally middle age starts in your 40s or early 50s, based on life expectancy.

Grubenwolf
Same here. 25 and I'll have middle aged women say how I'm handsome but women my age don't even talk to me.
fierebras
Do you try talking to them first? Honestly I think all of us are just kids at a school dance glued to opposite walls ????
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
That's because those middle aged women are your mother and aunt. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

Hello there, Lord of the Milfs
NathanPerkins
Women your age find you handsome. But they are just as scared as you. It's up to you to trudge through the awkwardness. Every time.
Thandruin
Why is it up to the man to do it?
kevincow
Same. Older women have always told me that I'd be a great catch. I guess it's easy to lie when you don't have to back it up. (1)
thelonepig
It's possible to date older women. My bf is 9 yrs younger than me.
gamingassassin
Possible but rare.
Honestly, now it just pisses me off. Makes me feel like a toddler being told his clearly shit scribbles are a great drawing. (2)
Haha, yeah I know.
dwude
Thats... Can be good thimg right? ;D
Eh, maybe. I wish it was the other way around though, lol.
FindYourChillMate
You want 15 year olds to be hitting on you?
I had 14 year old hitting on me, that was scary.
What? No, lol. I'm 25. I meant having 25 year olds talking to me instead of middle aged women.
Lol i know :)
MastahPetah
Welcome to my world. Im a nurse working with mostly 40-50somethings and they tell me Im really handsome. 20somethings not so much...
Yup I remember when I got my first eye glasses and the doctor (50-60-ish) told me I looked handsome in them. Went to school the next day....
with newfound confidence and showed them to this girl I was really into at the time. Said I looked like a dork. Never wore them to school.
LordNoodles
Glasses are in now, to the resentment of dorks of the past.
Itworks10
They're growing old, so their sight must be failing, I imagine. 20somethings, on the other hand, have really good eyes...
Also, I'm sorry, I was trying to crack a joke, but I realize that was mean spirited :(
Lol it's all good, I laughed
Ah, all is good then.
