Addicted to Younger Boys

July 30, 2008

Dear Div,

I seem to like boys that are 2-3 years younger than me. My sister tells me it’s because I’m a manipulative psycho, but honestly, I find the college boys to be a lot more fun than the working men. Is it SO wrong to have a little fun?

Dear Miss F.O.C.,

I figured rather than answering your question, I would ask you a series of my own instead:

Did you notice how anytime you mentioned the people you are currently attracted to, you referred to them as “boys” and how you think they are more fun than “men”? Have you ever met a girl who wanted to be in a committed relationship with a boy?  Did you notice that F.O.C. stands for Fear Of Commitment? Were you also aware that I wrote that because I want to make sure that you know you have commitment issues? Do you think I can write an entire response with nothing but questions and still get my point across?  Did you know that as long as you’re aware of these things, it’s totally fine to have fun as long as you’re not lying to yourself about it? Was that last question kinda cheap? Did you know that because you only deal with “boys”, who happen to be easily impressionable, your sister may have a point? Have you seen Dark Knight?

Now before you all jump down my throat, let me also say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being with someone younger than you -- unless your age gap is breaking some law. I TOTALLY feel that age should not be a factor in whether or not someone is right for you. If you both enjoy each other's company and are feeling each other, that outweighs something as trivial as age. But in your situation, it doesn’t seem like you care about being in a relationship. You seem to be in it for the butt -- Which leads me to believe that your deeper question is: "Is it still okay to go to college boys for butt?" My answer is: as long as you know that is what you’re getting yourself into, then it’s fine. Just remember what you’re dealing with... boys. Don’t expect these boys to act like men. When you get tired of them being immature, remember that it was your decision.

Divvu,

Maybe she likes being a sugar mama!

I like the last part.. in the end when she hates it, she'll have to remember she brought it upon herself.. very true :]

I was really hoping you'd do the whole response with just questions.

How about: the girl is just very immature herself, and cannot stand to be constantly let down by more mature men, who expect her to behave in a more mature demeanor. She probably wants younger guys because they have less expectations of her emotional and social maturity.

You, my friend, are absolutely hilarious, but you speak truth!
