Ok. So I'm a first year college student, just very recently turned 18 and trying to step my game up in college. I strongly feel my biggest issue in this environment is my age. First off, women my age tend to bore me and I'm surrounded by women who are mainly a few years older than me(which is what I usually go for) but I know the typical women wouldn't even consider going for a freshmen when they have other options with people their own age, no matter how c&f I am. I meet women on a daily basis, most of which are 4 to 5 years older (I guess you can say I'm pretty bad at estimating age) alot of women simply find it uncomfortable to be approached by younger men from my own experience, but I hate missing out on oppurtunities on meeting someone amazing despite even feeling shy deep down. I feel in this situation, shyness would be somewhat rational.. I feel if I were 20-21 this wouldn't even be an issue. Any tips on dealing with this, besides just letting years pass by? Just how do I deal with competition from older men?
