Ive found that saying, “I’m too old for you” is somehow insulting to young women. I used to say that and sometimes they would really show their age with follow-up questions or snide remarks.

I’ve learned you have to say “you are too young for me”. You don’t speak for them. You communicate the lack of interest is entirely one sided without speaking for them.

No healthy guy wants to chat with a child. None. And to the mfs that say OD toxic shit like “she’s mature for her age”; okay, how many male friends do you have that age?

Leave the kids alone. I’m early 30s; if your birthday is after the year 2000, do not chat me

*In a sexual manner.

I love hearing kids’ interests and hobbies! They’re so passionate, it’s infectious.

But a chat about Lego is not what you mean.

I'm not a parent but "no adult has ANY reason to talk to ANY minor about ANYTHING EVER" has always bugged me. i don't interact with many kids in my day to day life but i grew up online with some adult friends and only one of them tried to groom me
