Re: Is “Grooming” Just The Regular Courtship Process?

In normal courtship scenarios, a man wants money and independence also. It would just be to a lesser extent. A perfect example would be an 'upper middle' class 30 year old man courting a 'lower middle' class 21 year old woman.Grunko wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2026 3:51 pmNot all men/older people have money or independence. Some adults may not like staying out after dark. Even if they did, when people love people so much, they may sacrifice those things becuase the person they desire to be with is more important. Some adults may love doing the same things younger age groups do. Not all adults like drinking, going to the pub or going to nightclubs. Also not all adults are interested or ready for sex, they may be virgins or lack the experience.JGHeaven wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 12:10 pm
But as a kid I just felt guys were out of my league, why would a man with money and independence be interested in a kid who can't even stay out after dark? I had nothing to offer, he had everything, I didn't pursue guys mostly because it seemed pointless.
