@Lone_Ranger Surely she see sees it for what it is? But she can't risk spoiling the privilege.

My daughters know their orbiting simps. I am please to say that the more honourable ones do not encourage them, aim to avoid the discomfort of accepting things in such situations and take steps to reduce the risk of future developments.

Seen from a female point of view this is a great opportunity to extract but it is also a difficult situation. Men do need to be aware of this. Unless you are a stone cold bitch (Like 50+% of females) you are going to find yourself getting into increasingly uncomfortable situations as the simp tries to edge closer. Sure you can always assert your boundary at any point but this guy is being kind and may well be saying he only wants to be friends. Its harsh to push him away. He will probably slag you off when he realises you mean it. But its worse to keep having him try to orbit closer. Its the same invidious choice day after day. Go nuclear and tell him to back off or hope he gets the message this time.

If you raise women to be traditionally kind women, then this sort of simping thing is actually a problem for them. Its worth remembering that.

I have a daughter who has recently had a ton of Pandora jewellery dumped on her by an orbiting simp she can't seem to lose. (long story for how he managed to pretend this was only a friendly gift) She is trying to sell it all on ebay to return him the money as he won't take the silver back. He has give her work and discomfort by not seeing what should have been obvious if he was only better calibrated.

Guys who try to court by this method should be aware that 2 outcomes represent 99% of all probabilities. (90% you get butt hurt thinking you had the start of something and you may even feel led on. 9% she gives in and resents it (and therefore you) she never wanted something icky inside her. She is disgusted at herself and what does that leave her feeling about you?

Women: Does the age gap bother you? Try thinking about the 'fertility gap'.

I see that a lot of women are very distrubed by the age gap. I have the solution for you: stop thinking about age, and start thinking about fertility. Because fertility is the very reason why men and women are attracted to each other in the first place.

So, when you see two 21 year olds get together, that seems fine and dandy. right? That is becuase there is no fertility gap. They are both prime. But when you see a 26y.o. woman getting together with a 42 year old guy, you loose your shit. Here is something that will make you feel better about it: they are both equal from the fertility point of view. They are both about 20% off their fertility peak.

When you see a 35 y.o. woman with a 62 y.o. guy, that is also a very close math in terms of fertility. They are both 90% off their fertility peak.

And don't bother extending this out past about 42...because after 42, you have zero fertility. Your match at 45 is not some dude who is 89. There is no match for you at 45.

I hope this helps.
