Consider that humans have been raised in small groupings for thousands of years, to be able to accomodate these differences would be biologically advantageous; to dig for gold wherever they can find it you might say. If another younger bloke came along she may immediately shift her attention upon him.MKFaizi wrote:It is so hard for me to imagine a girl of twelve finding a man of thirty attractive. I have been around many, many girls that age and they consider someone thirty to be very old.
Even my seventeen year old daughter thinks that thirty is old.
Certainly, such a thing is possible but are you sure that you are not misinterpreting something?
Realistically, this is mostly practise for her, as i'm sure she'll find another interest in the coming years, but she has shown a long-term perspective which is how women commonly view men. She has assessed my assets and my ability to provide, and whether i am in need of her. My lack of the latter has dented her interest considerably, but she's still hoping, and trying new tricks to stimulate a response.
She has also been primed for Motherhood by her mother recently having another child and her helping raise it. Motherhood must be so tempting, a socially adored excise of absolute control. The loss of self to endless and mindless chores combined with complete dictates over others, often the husband as well. Treated like a Goddess, for being nothing.
I am. She is safer with me than her mother, or any other mother for that matter, except perhaps yourself Marsha.Either way, I would be very careful around her if I were you.
