I’m male and I function reverse wise so I’m not sure I’d quite consider such a tactic as being a philosophical affirmation. I believe it is both dependant upon the individual male, and his/their actual circumstances. Younger men taking an interest in you often does no harm in the right hands. Training harder, and living healthier, this tends to be positive. Ignore him too much and he might even lose interest/decide that your relationship isn’t satisfactory, so it’s high risk playing around there.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
