Both online and IRL, whenever older men (ie more than 5-7yrs older) hit on me, I always feel so grossed out. I don’t even know what it is, I just often feel a sense of bile rising in my throat and I feel nauseated.

No matter how nice or how decent their initial approach or message is, it always gives me creep vibes. I feel like even if a guy closer to my age said a legit creepy message like “hey damsel, I want to suck your toes”, I would feel less creeped out than I do whenever an older man even just says a simple “hey” to me. Their messages and their approach IRL always feels so predatory. Like they’re looking for someone that’s easy to control and manipulate.

I’m in my mid-20s, so tbh any guy over 30 feels old to me, so maybe that contributes to it. Anyone else feel like this?
