Dating “Oom-oom”

September 29, 2008 · 1 Comment

“What’s the youngest age that you’d be willing to date?”

I was asked this question a while ago, while drinking coffee at Plaza Senayan with some friends. After some thought I answered “28″, thinking that I’ve dated 28 year-olds before and it worked okay (didn’t last, but it was okay while it lasted).

“That means he’d be from class of 98-99 right?”

I was flabbergasted. Really? No way!

Then I remembered, the last time I dated a 28 year old was when I was 31 … that was two years ago. My 28 year old would have been 30 right now … and I am 33. Three years age difference was one thing, a five years one is a whole different matter!

On older men, I just realized that women in my age group would have to date men in their 35s or 40s … in the “oom-oom” age bracket so to speak, and I simply can’t see me dating beer-bellied men like what most in that age bracket have become…

“Face it girl, you’re a ‘tante-tante’ yourself!”

Hiks … life is harsh
