Do Your Preferences for a Romantic Partner Influence Your Actual Choice of Romantic Partner?
Another first!
We do a lot of complaining on this blog about Creepy Old Dudes disregarding our age preferences. Yesterday, for the first time, I had to actively restrain myself from replying to a message with "LOL you are a child. Find a girl your own age."
The fellow in question was 19 years old. I am 23, with a birthday coming up next week. Oh, and the message?
Yes, I mention Disney on my profile because their movies are generally very well done and have catchy music, but asking about Disney movies when you're already laughably younger than I am isn't going to help your case.
(And it's not as though we would have been a good match if not for the age difference. We disagree wildly on religion and lifestyle questions.)
