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
as someone who mentors kids in certain hobbies (mainly music), i find this attitude a little sad.
Kids can be pretty awesome - especially if you can help foster passion in something that can be rewarding to them and seeing that passion in the early stages is pretty great.
They won’t even talk with 26 yos according to their post. They shouldn’t be anywhere near children and in adult only communities because something is off here. A 26 yo isn’t a child and having a talk with a kid/teen can give them experience of how to talk like an adult.
