It helps to pay attention
When using personals on Craigslist and age is a factor, it is important to notice the age of posters before responding to their ads. I did not follow this rule. Apparently BOTH women I'm dating are considerably younger than I am (five or more years). Now.. the deeper question is this: Why is this a bad thing?
With younger women it will be far too easy for me to slip into some.. superiority complex. Which is ridiculous of course. Why does my age make my superior? It doesn't. In fact when I was younger I used to get pissed when people did this very thing to me. Ok. I will not do that. I'm aware of it and can thus supress it.
Also though it is only five years there could be less to talk about. Are they in school still? Probably. Whoa.. dating college girls. That kind of makes me feel lame and cool all at the same time.
It could be a good thing too, dating younger women. Besides the ..ahem... obvious benefits. I'm not ready to jump right into a relationship again. I want to see what's around first. I think more women my age are looking for a relationship (of course, this is generalizing and I could totally be wrong here because honestly what do I know about women as a group? Not much)
Why stress about any of this? This is stupid on my part. I just want to have fun. No pressure. No worries. No making long-term plans. No sitting by computers or phones waiting for responses.
Take it as it comes. All Zen and shit.
Alright. I feel better now. Thanks blog!

Dude, you're dating two college girls? Lucky, lucky you. I'll probably be wanting details when I get back.
Oh, and yeah, you do tend to slip into a superiority complex. It also doesn't help when you're wrong. Especially about Canada (sucks) folk music (sucks) and Live 8 (pointless).
You're not a Buffy fan but I'll drop some knowledge on you anyway (see? superiority complex)
I'm aware of my superiority complex, but I have an inferiority complex about it.
In other words, I feel often feel horrible because I feel superior to others at times.
Canada is awesome, some folk music does suck but there's tons of cool indie bands out there, and Live 8 is pointless but sometimes pointless gestures are better than no gestures at all.
