is it bizarre that i tend to befriend much older people?

I have friends ranging from early 20s to literally old enough to be my parent. It's only as weird as you make it.

>>18726206 it only feels problematic when i'm at work and seniority becomes an issue. "weird" isn't the word so much as "possibly exploitative". i feel less comfortable when there are other people watching i guess, it doesn't seem like other people have my ability for intergenerational communication.

This. I tend to get along with people older than I am. Teenagers and people in their early 20s are largely insufferable.

It's completely normal. Others your age may think that it's weird, but then again I feel like any of their opinions wouldn't matter anyway.

I'm 26 and by all accounts look a solid 10 years older, most of my friends are 16-22. Sometimes I get self conscious about it, but my friends always tell me not to worry about it.

I'm in my 20s and all but five of my friends are 30s+, with a handful even being in their 50s. Frankly, I just find older people to be more interesting on average and they make good friends because they can give solid advice and have great connections.

Nothing wrong with it. I am 29 and most of my friends are 40-60. The only problem is finding a significant other. I have had 4 different women twice my age tell me if they where younger they would be all over me but that doesn't do me much good. Meanwhile most of the women my age are completely unrelatable.

that's exactly what it is
my age gaps are out of control tho, 25+ years on average. as a rule i can't stand teenagers either but i have to wonder what some of these older men are seeing in me.

when i was younger i would have worried that these guys were looking for fresh meat and i would have been right.

that's an odd sentiment... i feel very uncomfortable dating older men. there are probably some good reasons for this, not all of these relationships are above-board.

why do you guys suppose you tend to shoot older? will echo the sentiment

>I relate to the other gender
