Kollektiv vision for a Kollektiv future
Actually this post is about being mistook for 28/29 by girls who then ignore me when they find out my real age.
Actually, not girls; women.
I think my demographic is changing - I used to fancy girls. Now I fancy women. Is it just a subtle change in nomenclature or a symptom fo greater maturity?
Wait - can't possibly be the latter

the problem is one of ideologically exclusivity, a tension between what is real and perceived.
If i'm nice enough to chat to about things we're both interested in and I APPEAR to be 28/29, then why does it matter that I am actually a lot younger?
Essentially people assume that a 24 year old will be a certain way / a certain kind of person, a notion which I subvert with my slightly weird collection of interests and responiblities. therefore people are not looking for a 29 year old man to chat to, they are looking for an idealised notion of what a 29 year old should be. And because I share some of those attributes they assume I am 29, when I am not.
lol
Circular arguments - you've got to love them
