I friended the Swedish boys yesterday. I was most interested in Jarl, but I don’t see how we’d stay in touch. I didn’t even expect him to friend me back.
But he did! And he messaged me today! They are on Phi Phi Island now, and he asked me what they should do there.
He also told me that they saw 7 oceanic manta rays in Koh Ban! The biggest one is 6m wide! OMG!!
We actually had a good chat..better than any conversation we had while in person haha. His English was just so good, using words like “entourage of fish”. I’m really impressed.
He was funny too. I asked, I guess you can’t ride the manta rays? They might not like that. He said, They are spaceships. Obviously that’s what they are for.
Haha! I like that! I didn’t realize he was that funny. I quite like him. I think he must like me a little bit too, otherwise he wouldn’t message me and all that.
The Swedish girls we’ve met are so outgoing, yet these guys are so shy. I think they are so young and texting so much that maybe they are effected by what our older generation worry about: a lesser ability to communicate in person.
I recommended diving and some clubs on Phi Phi, as well some people he can connect with (surprisingly, most are Swedes!) He was more about diving.
I have not seen any pictures of him with girls on Facebook. Either he is slightly gay, has a girlfriend, or just isn’t a player. I choose to believe in the last one.
Of all the Swedes, he was the most keen about diving. I like that.
He is too young. Sigh. I wish age is not a thing. I wish none of us ages.
Imagine all the discrepancies disappearing, if we are independent of aging and appearance. Then all we are will be our personalities and intelligence. Wait, isn’t that what we are before we come to Earth? It always gives me a mind fuck when I think about it. Why do we give up on the best scenario and come here to get all messed up by things that don’t matter, such as appearance, age, fame, money, technology, etc etc? Unless, maybe it’s a full circle…we need to go through this so we can evolve into that energy being? Or that, something has to matter in order for us to evolve, so we must take on a physical form? (matter, haha) Or maybe it’s just a game…something to do when bored with not having a physical form.
If Jarl doesn’t think the age gap is an issue, then it’s not an issue for me. I think young. But imagine a few years from now….I’ll be 40, and he’ll be 26….that might be an issue. When he is 34, I’ll be 48! Crazy.
Right now I still look young, about 27, 28. So I have 3, 4 years before I look like I’m in my 30s. Midori is 39 and she still looks young like she is 27. I wish I looked like her.
Anyway. I think too much. Jarl is far away. Probably not interested, or at least not that interested. I’m not that interested either…I just like how he looks and that he loves diving. I still think Josh is the hottest. And that really shy German guy we never talked to. And that guy next to me at the massage.
It’s just something I think about – age gaps and growing older. There’s a trend to becoming less agist. The old people are active on social media now too, and will be more so later on. There are more old people than ever before, online and offline, because of the boomers.
Older women dating younger men has become more and more accepted now too. After all, older men have been dating younger women.
I hope that by the time I’m old, it’s cool to be old.
