74 Thoughts I Had Watching Episode 1 of ‘Age of Attraction’ on Netflix

I used to be instinctively suspicious of age-gap relationships, but now that I’m single again, I’ve cooled down on judgment (for the most part) and embraced the understated romance of Liz Phair’s song “Rock Me,” about the simple pleasures of dating a younger man as an older, more accomplished woman: “I wanna play X-Box on your floor / Say hello to your roommate next door / You don’t have a dime / But I don’t mind, who gives a damn? (I mean, I I don’t want to play X-Box on anyone’s floor, but I digress. )

Enter: age of attractionis Netflix’s hit new reality series that follows an age-gap couple’s lives, laughter, love, and having to explain memes to each other. Below, find (literally) all my thoughts on the show’s first episode, titled “Is Age Just a Number?”:

1. I’m so stressed out about this little plane flying over the mountains because I just watched love story ending.
2. Tea, Theresa. Sometimes men your age are…worse!
3. I hope Pfeiffer’s experience dating an older man is a good one, but I kind of want her to be with someone who ignores her because she’s too young. I’m afraid these are good people!
4. I admit, it’s a bit of a Catch-22.
5. “When will you retire?” At 40? prison.
6. Jorge is absolutely right when he says the dating world is garbage.
7. Should I join this show?
8. Oh no, at least one of the girls reminds me of my little cousin and now I want to protect her from a heartbreak (or even a dent).
9. Okay, cousin reminder’s name is Libby.
10. No one hurt Libby! ! !
11. Oh, the hosts are 18 years apart?
12. Did they meet through private messages?
13. Someone ditches their skincare routine because they look 24 years old—mathematically, they can’t Both yes.
14. The only question you can’t ask is: “How old are you?” Fair enough!
15. Oh, so everyone here is dating everyone else?
16. They’re all straight, get it.
17. Or, at least, directly for the purposes of this show.
18. Which is a shame, because I’m notoriously attracted to lesbians with big age gaps.
19. Did you know? Yes, girl, ask him how much money he makes! No broke boys, no new friends!
20. “I don’t want to attract men my age because they are generally very immature,” Libby said.
21. I mean, maybe she and I could have some cultural exchange, she’s dating a 32 year old loser my age she Peers in their 20s?
22. We love Swiftie with boundaries.
23. “I can date you or your mom, I’m open to both.” I mean, I agree, but I’m scared of Tristan.
24. Haha, his MILF roots are “The first time I saw Kim Zolciak in a church parking lot.”
25. The blonde in a red top looks like Chloe Fineman’s character.
26. This girl rightly calls most older men “predatory”.
27. Then again, good guys want women their own age!
28. “I’m John and I’m a hugger.” Ugh.
29. John didn’t say that Catherine “looked like a Bond villain.” Oh, what, like you’re great, John? ! ?
30. The heroine is low-key and gorgeous!
31. Is there a minimum and maximum age limit for this show?
32. If so, is the minimum age…18? I think it should be a ladylike style around 24 years old.
33. These are things I could look up, but I prefer to wonder.
34. I really don’t think men with cats are sexy.
35. but that is mine luggage!
36. Oh, there’s something sexy about Justin with that raspy voice, and Varnell seems to agree.
37. I love man fever 🙂
38. Although this guy is going a bit in a depressing direction.
39. “She’s my typical date: blonde, pretty, fun.” Well, no. you A unique taste maker!
40. Gentlemen do prefer blondes, right?
41. I just don’t like this asshole with two kids whose names I can’t even remember.
42. To be clear, having two (or more or less) kids is fine, this is his “I don’t like attitude”.
43. I hope Libby, the boundary-bound Swift, fares better!
44. I don’t want “a dominant leader” (when it comes to men, anyway).
45. It’s great to hear “I’m surprised you’re single.”
46. I’m bored.
47. sorry.
48. I feel like Holden The Catcher in the Rye. I just want to catch these women! ! ! ! ! ! !
49. Oh, my first time wearing makeup!
50. I think.
51. Imagine answering the question: “What does your dad do?” versus: “He is currently on an age gap reality show on Netflix.”
52. Oh, the wine on the mountaintop!
53. Which city are they in?
54. Once again, I say no to Google.
55. Wait, they just said: Pemberton, British Columbia!
56. A bit random, but beautiful.
57. “Do you have mommy issues?” Grab his ass!
58. I mean…aren’t we?
59. Well, maybe Tristan more than most.
60. French braids are a wild look for those in their 40s.
61. Second time putting on makeup!
62. “It was so nice to kiss him.”
63. Be careful, Teresa; this could lead to a meltdown of epic proportions.
64. Kiss three times! ! ! ! ! !
65. Oh Varnell, I’m head over heels for Justin too.
66. Visible emotional damage and a salt-and-pepper moustache?
67. We all need to go to Women’s Hospital in a group. I can drive.
68. I don’t like the concept of a “commitment room.”
69. I mean, are these men ready for a relationship? Or are they just MILF appreciators?
70. All these sounds… woof woof.
71. Oh, the ring match!
72. Well, I hate this one a little less.
73. Well, he’s 27! any!
74. Well, I’ve got the rest of the season locked in hell, no matter what humiliation it might bring.
