I used to be that idiot. Then I did the math. It saves virtually no time. Laid-back driving after waking up 5 mins earlier actually gets there sooner. And it's less effort. Less risk. Less gas/petrol.

The sheer pointlessness drives me nuts even more than the recklessness. Everyone's going to war for nothing.

I put in my bios:

• I like older

• Into older

• My age or older

Still getting hit up by "18" year olds. Not hard to notice how virtually nobody's 19. Aaaaalways 18. When I was underage, everyone picked 21 so they could drink, but ig drinking's passé here/now.

I don't even want to be around anyone anymore who isn't at least visibly mid-twenties. Thought one was an adult last summer. He came after me, wouldn't stop, and was waiting for me when I came back. I caved. Flirted back. We almost kissed. Dude flipped, went gay panic, jumped me, cops were called, and everyone figured out the age part halfway through.

NEITHER. OF. US. KNEW!

Worst nightmare come to life.

I keep editing this post, and it keeps coming out weird, because I'm still so fucked up by that situation, I don't even know how to talk about it. Haven't been back to the local swimming spot since. Probably need therapy.

Everyone seems to think looking weirdly young's a good thing, but they never consider this part. Babyface's a really mixed bag.

Have yall dealt with it too?
