I’m asking the guys who are in their 30s. I (33M) live in a college town and had female friends who made me feel guilty for even considering approaching college girls because I said the odds are highest for that to happen.

Clearly you don’t know someone’s real age until it gets brought up through conversation. I since then cut off those female friends because they were just negative in other aspects as well. Also hypocrites for dating or hooking up with men 10+ years older than them.

Since Spring of ‘24 I’ve been rebuilding what I lost during the pandemic years — my career, hobbies, social skills, diet, and body. I’ve had a decent confidence boost these past couple of months from successful fat loss and a new and promising job that I hope can take me to a bigger city with higher pay in the next year or two.

In the meantime I’m just curious if any of y’all ever feel guilty about age gaps? And if not, how’s your mindset about that?
