Why are AgeGap Personals this way?

I found my SO in AgeGapPersonals two months ago! He is definitely the man I have always dreamed of. I am in love with his tenderness, his intelligence, the sweet, soft way in which he guides me through life.

However, it took me almost 7 months and a lot of failures to find him. Here's a few things I learned during my time at AgeGapPersonals:

  1. Don't get involved with men who brag about their money. They tend to involve you in unhealthy power dynamics.

  2. Don't get involved with men who are pointing out the age gap all the time. You're definitely much more than your age.

  3. Look for a man who does his best to connect with you emotionally. Keep it a long-distance relationship until he has made the effort not only to impress you, but to actually connect with you.

  4. Married men won't ever be enough. Age gap relationships are beautiful, but you won't ever get the complete experience from someone who's married. It's just not worth it.

  5. Be unconventional. Write a post that reflects your personality, or maybe a post that involves art or some kind of literary value. Complex posts attract the best people and tend to keep weirdos away.

  6. Insist on spending quality time with them. Ask them to call you, arrange a videochat from time to time. Messaging won't ever be enough to fully connect with someone.
