Men older won't date me because i look

Men older won't date me because they say I look too young. I've actually dated younger in the past few years not on purpose but just because I seem to feel happier and more fulfilled with younger men although I only go for mature younger men.

Anyway recently I've been seeking older men. I'm 33 so I've been going on dates with 38-42 year olds and the last 5 men I've been with 4 of the 5 asked me if I was lying about my age because I look like a minor. Then the last guy said he felt too awkward and his text was:

Hey you were great and I had a good time but I look older than my age and you look younger so I think it's too awkward lol. I wish I looked younger than my age too but I just think people will get the wrong impression. I think the waitress asking if you were my kid was enough validation too. You're really cool and pretty but I just felt awkward if that makes sense. I know it's a weird reason sorry.

Is it normal?

    It means that they aren't really into you. People have their own choices to who they choose to date and that's OK.

    • No they're all definitely into me it's specifically how I look like a minor, nothing to do with who I am

        Well that’s what they tell you...people generally don’t turn down that which they’re into.

        • I look 14-15 oldest. It's a huge problem for men. It has nothing to do with me. Many people on dating apps say it to me right off before knowing me so it's not me, it's literally my child-like appearance. If you actually read my post they ALL mention my appearance, not my personality. I have a white collar job, I'm professional and kind. They all say I'm amazing but that they can't because I look way too young and it's creepy.

            • Hey I'm short and Asian so that doesn't help. People think my Mom is my older sister

    I get that. People always mistake me for being a high school student and I am in my mid 20s. I would prefer to date older men myself due to valuing commitment more than most immature 20-somethings but I think any decent older man would be cautious about asking me out.
    You can make yourself appear more your age with styling and makeup though. Usually subtle makeup is best because it's pretty youthful to wear heavy makeup randomly.
    Talking in a slightly deeper voice and keeping good posture helps too.

    Men have learned to be very cautious. It's statutory rape regardless of how much fake ID and documents an underage lady has.

    However, I would date you if you convinced me that your documents were real and that you were over 16 - 18 depending on the State age of consent; and if our chemistry and values were right (I'm not into hookups or flings just for sex - I am into long term friendships which can include sex with the right Lady).

    Expect me to ask a fair amount of questions about your past as part of my validation of your age and documents.

    Id say thats a good thing if people think youre a minor at 33. I wouldnt mind fucking a girl thats like 18 but I get the whole not wanting to date part. 18yo girls can look like 14. And if you're going around everywhere with her and you're 30+ ppl gonna think youre a ped0 which is the worst thing you can be in America.

        I suppose you live in Kentucky or Mississippi,? But I be willing to bet that you live in America. And you like so many have you opinion. So if you dont like it here then GTFO. Go live in the middle east where you get beat or worse for thinking or feeling what you think or feel when it is not in line with how they say you will feel or do, etc. Now if you dont live in America, how many countries when shit hits the fan they come crying and wonder why we are not there to save them or wipe their ass for them. So I say either love it or get the fuck on.

          No I'm from UK. Also "Go live in the middle east where you get beat or worse for thinking or feeling what you think or feel when it is not in line with how they say you will feel or do, etc." This really is a contradiction and exactly the point I was trying to make. The worst thing you can be, is to simply feel a certain way apparently even if you're not hurting anyone.

    I would say it's unfortunately normal. There's a guy at my job that I like who likes me back. As finally apart talking but ultimately ge decided against us seeing each other due to him being a supervisor and me not. As its against company policy despite us working separate shifts and departments.
    It's shitty but it is wgat it is. I'd try not to take it 2 personally if i was you

    Hey I’m in my late 30s and still look 20 something, maybe we should get together 😂 I’ve actually had this happen to me before as well. When I was 29, I was dating this 34 year old woman. Well, her age was older but her maturity level wasn’t at all what I expected. She looked older than her actual age because she drank like a fish and smoked way too much (I was set up lol) Anyway, I would always refrain from taking pictures with her because it seriously looked like a mother and son, even though we were 4 1/2 - 5 years apart. Some friends of mine made comments about how she looks old, and whenever I would go out to public places with her, people would look at us. I even had a waitress tell me I could do better when my gf at the time was in the bathroom 😂 Needless to say, we split up. The relationship only lasted a few months and we honestly didn’t break up because of the age thing, simply because I never brought it up to her. Though I had other peoples opinions running through my mind, the choice to break up with her was solely mine, and not due to looking old, but actually acting like a child and being older than me. I was hoping the age gap would = a level of maturity on her end. No such luck lol. We also broke up because she had many disgusting habits I was not into, no motivation and no drive to look for a job or move out of her parents house at 35 years old. That was the end of her. I still see her on social media sometimes. It has been about 8 years and nothing has changed on her life, except that she looks even older lol
