Another teenage admirer...

First, big birthday hugs to mat_t! Hope it was a great one! Now today's drama...

It seems I am fated to be hounded by the local gay teen population as a love interest. I was chatted up by another on 411 then to Yahoo. I have no problem chatting with people, but teenagers, even though they are over 18, just makes me feel uncomfortable for the following reasons:

• They could be lying and be younger than they say. I've heard from friends of this happening to them.
  
• They always want to talk about sexual experiences. I kill any conversation quickly after that.
  
• Mature 18 year olds are rare. They do exist, I know a young LJ'er (who looks much older) who is an great guy, incredibly mature for his age.
  
• They always say "I like older men"... let me get my walker and talk about how those young whipper-snappers are ruining America with their loud hippie music and long hair... seeing how they are 18, that makes all men older men...
  
• They always get defensive when you try to let them down easy. Then you have to become a jerk.

I do admit that I feel bad being that way with them. I remember what it was like to be 18 and interested. They seem to have the guts to be out and date, unlike me at the time. Am I overly paranoid here, they could be looking for just friends, but they seem to be out for more?

Observations:

I generally dismiss anyone under 21 out-of-hat because they usually fall into one of the following groups:

a) Looking for a sugar daddy.
b) Sex addicts already filled with cooties.
c) Too immature to understand the difference between a hookup, a friendship, and a relationship.
d) Habitual liars or crapheads out to cause trouble.
e) Not really underage gay boys but actually cops or vigilante pedophile-chasers posing as such.
f) Too stupid to make coherent sentences.
g) Fledgling prostitutes who need to work on their marketing.
h) Uninteresting as crap.

Plus my natural paranoia assumes that whatever group they belong to, they're only targeting me because I'm overweight and older and therefore desperate.

That being said, it's still a nice ego-stroke.

Oh please, I just saw you at PKI and I thought you looked great, hardly overweight! :)

Thanks, I like to think of myself as "comfortably winterized."

But from the perspective of most of the little Paris-Hilton-trapped-in-the-body-of-a-twinks who pvt me, I'm a whale.
