(old shit the fifth)

on the subject of dating older men (also an excerpt from a conversation)

what if i can't really judge people? and i'm dating these perverts, but i think i know they aren't and they are. what the hell is wrong with me? and what kinds of horrible damage are they going to inflict on my vulnerable psyche? i don't mind so much if society in general doesn't approve of me, but when there's much validity to their disapproval i worry, and on multiple levels.
