Risk assessment isn't even established biologically until the age of 25.
Can you elaborate on this?
It's a proven fact of psychological and cognitive development of the brain. The brain isn't fully developed until the age of 25 so full assessment of consequences or risk analysis is questionable for people under the age of 25.
Exactly... And men it's at 30.click to expand

As far as him, WTH would he want someone so much younger? My thoughts on this aspect are not so good. Young impressionable girl? Someone he can control? Mid life crises? Regaining his youth? Young piece of a $ $ ?

d find it creepy as fuck. I had old guys hitting on me throughout my teens and into my early 20s. I hated it every time because they were freaking creeps.
Girls who embrace that type of attention have problems. No offense to your daughter.

Tell her what my mom told me: 'There's a reason why a woman his age isn't with him.'
I say this all the time when someone that much older goes after someone younger- wtf is wrong with them that they won't date someone their own age/someone their own age won't date them??
I know of a few guys who always date much younger women and they're in their 30s. They're emotionally immature and won't be growing up any time soon.
At the same time, women their own age see this and will never take them as serious dating material.

And for those saying she your daughter knows what is best for her ---- Uhhh, NO, she doesn't.
At 22, nobody knows their ass from their elbow (in general). Risk assessment isn't even established biologically until the age of 25.
AGREED. Leave it to the 21 year old to think that a 22 year old thinks she knows what's best for herself.
Nobody in their early 20s knows shit about anything. They're still learning and the fact that she dates so much says she doesn't know what she wants. She just recylces guys for her own entertainment, as MANY girls do in their early 20s. It's why dating can be such a shit hole for anyone in that age range.
Mom has every right to be concerned. Her daughter is in the moron age group of dating.

...I swear this guy lives under a rock.
Shocked that women will go to great lengths to get knocked up to keep a guy, and now he's playing newb to the fact that people don't psychologically mature til 25.
Someone please explain to me why some bitches worship this dude's outlook on this type of stuff? He knows nothing. Blows my effing mind.

Lots of guys in their 40s who date a woman that young are those age-phobic types who can't stand the fact that they're getting older, and somehow feel like they are magically younger because they are dating a young female. Like I said, it's a little creepy.

This is SO common in the guys I know who do this. They just cannot grasp that it's time to grow up. Some are so blatantly obvious. "Omg ew people my age. They're in their 30s. I need someone in their 20s because that's where my mentality is still at/where I still want to be."click to expand

As a realistic cap, i dont understand "The power of love" or "age doesnt matter only the feelings count"
there is four billion of girls on earth, choose one with 30 yo ? too hard ?
ho, sorry must be the power of love. why search ? when you can wait for some na?ve girls in front of university.
she 's 22 so what — she 's still living with her mother, she's still eating the food your buy, she is still on your financial dependence. so "she s an adult" please just stop.
he's bald, i admit the fact that when you are starting you loosing your hair, you start to loose your self confidence and speak with person of your age must be hard, impress kid is so easier, "you know i have my own appartment, my own car".
he's fourty and he's still talking about his tatoos, wow so cute?? but that's kind of things you do between 15 - 25.
how he can understand, a person with 20yo under him??

it's very terrible to be around people who won't let you live and enjoy life as long as it doesn't hurt or interfere.
Posted by FrenchKpricorn
when you have 60 yo, you are retired and you have nothing to prove. 30 - 40, you still working and maybe it's time to have a children, with someone from your generation Please.
Then she can do what her want, you know. I know some girls who are flirting with adult, they have free coca??ne what a great placement. And I repeat she's still living with her mom, so no she's not free.
When she's start to walking, this dude was doing his third tattoo...
You know my mom is 40 and my dad is 60, every time someone see me with him, they ask me if he's not my grandpa,and it's obvious that my dad gonna die before my 40 yo.

Maybe she just thinks shes too good for guys her age. That's part of the reason I like older guys. Well and because I don't think someone my age could take care of me the way I want LOL! My leo is just about 40, and there's no problems.

This thread is very deceptive .... I really had no clue that Capricorns were so dishonest.

I have to admit, I do think it's weird to mention how a good mother would feel, yet at the same time not trust the decisions or judgment of the daughter you raised. If you feel you really did a good job then you should trust her. If he's not for her, trust she'll figure it out quickly for herself. If he is, then trust that she'll figure that out for herself too.

This is a valid point, but a mother never ever stops worrying about their children. We do our best to raise them with good values, the ability to think for themselves, to discern good judgment from bad, all that stuff...but you never stop worrying. Heck, my mother worries about me and I'm 47 years old.click to expand

Get your head out of the clouds.
This guy chasing her IS going to hurt and interfere. You can go as extreme to say he could manipulate her into alienating herself from friends and family and they could never see her again. It's extreme, but it's been known to happen to vulnerable women with controlling and manipulative guys.
So she has every right to be concerned. If it's a phase, cool. But guys who chase after youngins like this are out for sex and using her because she's young and naive. Her daughter is too young to be potentially fucking her life up for some old loser that can't find anyone his own age.
And even if all is good between them, this won't last long. It's hard to be in a relationship with someone who you cannot relate to due to age gap. He'll either get sick of her childish ways or she'll get over the fact that he's old.
Some of you need to grow the fuck up and face reality. The OP has every right to be concerned about her own daughter. She gets a gold star for even caring. Some parents don't even do that much.
OP, where did she meed this guy anyway? And has she offered for you to meet him?click to expand

aren't caps known to date someone older? not all, but I've seen a trend.
she's 22. she's not in love. this will pass. as long as she's being safe just let her get through this experience and be there for her when she comes out the other side.


Posted by cowpuncherPosted by SpiceNSugar
To be really honest, and with no judgement call whatsoever, often (NOT ALWAYS) young women who go after older men are looking for fatherly recognition.
Grandpas don't count because their love is different from that of a father.
It may be the Electra Complex playing out.

Speaking as a 42yo single guy, a 20 year age gap is creepy. I have plenty of FRIENDS who are younger, but I just don't see myself being able to have a normal, healthy relationship with a woman that much younger. 10 years younger is the limit. Maaaaaybe a 30yo could squeak by if she were a really outstanding lady and interested.

She probably hasn't introduced you to him because he's resisting...

... but I'm not wrong to worry and be concerned. There is nothing wrong about loving your children enough to be concerned about their well being, worrying about mistakes they might make....
I find it hard to believe she didn't ever stop worrying about them.

Posted by P-Angel
And you are wrong.
This isn't loving your child. This is wanting to control your child ... who's an adult.
Loving your adult daughter when she in the throes of new lover SHOULD take the form of extreme happiness for her.
If you are making a thread to discuss this in detail, and have many inputs then that means you are honoring this paranoid feeling you have, and that is the reason why you needed to come and get validated for it.
So, that means it IS the energy you carry around. So, instead of putting off exciting vibes for her, you putting off paranoid and doubtful ones.
You're not looking out for her well-being, at all ... you're looking out for fulfilling your need to control. If you were looking out for her well-being, then this thread would be about how excited you are that your daughter (whom you taught) has found a love.

Okay TrueCap, this guy has made Rocky and I agree on something. For that alone, he's probably gotta die. I and my .30-06 with illuminated reticle mil-dot scope are at your disposal.click to expand

But the concern is legit. A friend of a friend of mine, who is a female Cap, dated an older guy ... it looks like it didn't work out and it also sound like from the Cap that the guy was a douche. The Cap was around 18 and the guy was in his 30s.

Posted by truecap
then I would accept it whether I like it or not.
I haven't said anything to her about it. I'm not interfering with her relationship. She's grown. There's nothing I can do about it. I know this.
Still concerned though. And concern does not equate to interference.
