>>56095528>but I wonder how many older people like me were turned off by itt. 37 year old, I was 30 when SM was released
For me it evoked something different. A mix of nostalgia for the lost innocence, and the feeling of having someone pure and delicate, in need of protection and care.
After these years living through this broken ass generation, full of distrust, cynicism, bitterness, I long for something more pure and innocent. I'm not a pedo, I would never chase a minor, but I'm tempted to date a younger woman, say 19-20 years old. I've just had enough of all those strong independent women who make it clear you're disposable and a nuisance.
At the same time I know I don't deserve it, that I have my own baggage and young ladies don't deserve it. So I just keep chasing the broken ones. All is left is that fantasy of a fresh start.
I just hope the next generation has it better than us.
