Person A: *Sitting in the corner of the room*
Person B: What's up with A?
Person C: *Eating crisps* They only just figured it out that you can't describe colours...
Person B: What? Yes you can, Green as grass!
Person C: that's using the colour to describe something else
Person B: Okay, how about this. Red is warm
Person C: That's associating the colour with a feeling
Person B: *staring off into the distance* Holy fuck...
Person B: *Joins A in the corner*

gasolina, the original despacito,
Gather round kids while I explain this manipulation tactic that men perpetually try to use and why it’s bullshit.
If someone is openly showing interest in you by making disparaging or disappointed comments about your age, they’re trying to put you on the defensive. This guy wants me to try to quell his discomfort, to bring up that I’m only a month shy of 20, etc. - he wants me to try to prove myself to him, that I’m mature and adult enough for a man like him.
His goal is to establish a power imbalance right off the bat. If we were to date, I would constantly be on the defensive, constantly striving to be an equal, constantly trying to prove my “adult” credentials. Anything he says or does or wants from this point on that I object to would just be seen as a strike against my age, proof that he was right and that I’m not mature enough for him. This is how SO MANY men pressure younger individuals (primarily women and girls) into situations and relationships they aren’t comfortable with. If he truly thought I was too young for him, he wouldn’t have messaged me. This is a very calculated move, and it’s fucking gross.
Adult relationships with age gaps are completely fine, but only if all parties view each other as equals. If someone is trying to set you up in a way that ensures that’s never a possibility, run far away.
he’s making a list, he’s checking it twice!
he’s gonna find out who’s on thin fucking ice!
