Men of ALL Ages

2007 was a year I hung out with guys of mostly my similar age group. To cut a long story short, at the end of the day, I find that most of guys my age were usually a little juvenile and childish in actions. (The power of youth!) It was cute in the beginning but can be slightly tiresome after a bit. I suppose being in you're mid-20s is something very delicate (and scary!) hence a lot of them are just all over the place and not quite sure what it is in life that they want.

Fast forward to 2010, my fate has mysteriously changed to encountering a rather refreshing amount of 30 year old + males (something which would have freak the sh*t out of me if I were any younger!). While some are quite a pleasure to talk to (hey you, don't smile!), there were a few in particular that made me raise an eyebrow this week.

In one case, was a guy whom, I was truly aware that in terms of age, he would expectedly garnered an upper hand with a decades worth of life experience more than I. But to rub it in one's face in every conversation topic does not earn you any impression any higher than average. Being elder doesn't mean you have to take everything so seriously and stoically, everyone just has a different level on life based on their own progressional personal experience. Just because they haven't reached the level you have achieved doesn't make them absolutely wrong or incompetent. 

I eventually became quite annoyed with the domineering conversation which felt to me as  if I was being pointed out that my opinions or actions had flaws, or were just not superior enough to standard. Let say my opinion WAS wayward, you were obnoxious nonetheless. Normally nowadays, I believe that the best action without wasting anymore precious resources is just to walk away and avoid talking to these people in future. Talking with this certain gentleman just contributed to uptightness to my arteries. I wasn't really keen on trying desperately to prove my point (if I had any) to someone who was a mere acquaintance. End of story.

We move on to 40-60 year olds. 2 weeks ago, I met up with an ex-teacher whom my bff called a lecherous/chikopek child molester (and I agreed). Luckily, he had no recollection of who I was, and I didn't want to introduce myself after having his leery eyes visually molesting me. Don't know why, but men tend to become creeps when they turn mid-age. Probably has something to do about their wives growing less attractive, turning their attention entirely to the kids and hen pecking them, that these poor unsatisfied men prey on helpless little girls to gain their masculinity again. I feel sorry for the ignorant wives who sleep next to these scums every night and young girls who actually get exploited and no one would believe them.

Men indeed have 2 faces. By day, they can be one respectable individual that no one can believe they are actually monsters in disguise, and by night they just do strange things that we only hear from gossip magazines. You won't really understand the truth of this unless you actually know the kids/family of the man that did something unpleasant to you/someone else you know and they think the world of him while you suffer in silence. What a monster, hiding behind his family's happiness as defense, knowing you won't dare to break it. Girls are just gullible and naive by nature. (Whee like meeeee!~) 

Rather surprisingly, I actually enjoy the company of the guys of the significantly younger age group. *cough* Taylor Lautner *cough* That's besides the point but yeah, we talk, crap, laugh, burp and have a pure platonic friendship without pressure wtf. AS FRIENDS OK. Not every topic has to end up about potential relationships.
