I went to a drinking party today and got told by a fairly well-off older man that I had no common sense, along with various other criticisms. I’m in my early thirties, but he also commented on my age and said I was immature for my age.
Yet he treated another younger woman with a smile.
Lately, people have been commenting on my age more and more, and it’s really been bothering me. What should I do?
Haven’t you been through the same thing yourself?
You were young once too, so I suppose it can’t really be helped.
Older men like younger women, and women like younger men. It’s simply human instinct—we want to pass on our genes to the best possible partner...
So don’t take some fairly ordinary, moderately wealthy older man’s opinion to heart. Just ignore it.
I think you should spend time with people who let you enjoy the present and feel good about yourself.

If you’re confident in yourself, isn’t it fine to stay just as you are?
I’m unconventional myself, so I gathered like-minded people and started a company.
I think it might be worth reconsidering whose approval you really want.

When an elementary school student acts immaturely, we don’t call them immature. Being immature is perfectly normal for their age, so we don’t even think of them that way.
Likewise, when a college student or someone who has just started working acts immaturely, we don’t go out of our way to think or say they’re immature as long as it’s age-appropriate.
I think that’s what it means.

I’m sorry to ask something so blunt, but when you say:
> “A fairly well-off older man told me I had no common sense, along with various other things.”
> “He also told me I was immature for my age.”
Was there really no issue besides your age?
You mentioned that people have been commenting on your age more often, so perhaps you could try changing your appearance by learning more about makeup, for example. Personally, since I started going to a dating club, I’ve been making an effort—I started going to a salon instead of a barbershop and even took lessons in men’s makeup.
