Why are you young women threatened by a baby boomer?

I am a baby boomer. Smart, look younger than I am. My style of dress is classy. I am a hard worker. Quick witted and comfortable in my own skin. When I am in the company of younger women and their men, I can feel the hate from the women. I am probably old enough to be their mother. What is that about?

Why are you young women threatened by a baby boomer?
You sound just like my mom and, yes, she goes through the same stuff you're going through. She's always trying to figure out why this happens to her and she's gotten to a place where she realizes that it's jealousy. She's very confident and a take charge person along with being beautiful and young looking for her age. Men are usually crazy about my mom and that often makes other women dislike her. Like I said, it's all about jealousy. If you get to a place where you realized that it's not really about you, but about these other women's insecurities, it'll be easier to just accept that it's going to happen and that it's not your fault. One more thing, even though you're an older woman, you're still a threat because you don't look your age, and a lot of younger men know that older women have got it going on.
Reply:Do you come off as a "know-it-all" or do you tell the "I remember" stories?





Do you accept that they may know somethings you don't know.





Before you decide the younger women are the problem check yourself out first.





I'm saying you're the problem but it's easier to check there first.
Reply:They are used to having every think given to them. What you have can not be given, it has to be earned. That's a concept they don't understand.
Reply:Maybe the hate is in your head. I am most likely younger than you (young woman, in other words), and I wouldn't bear a grudge against you because of the way you acted, unless it was exceedingly annoying. And even in that case scenario, I'd merely make an attempt to avoid you as much as possible. Or I'd tell you to shut your obnoxious trap. But that's about all I would do. Maybe I'm just weird. If you're correct in your description, though, I'd say that what the women were feeling is more envy than hate.
Reply:Do you remember being in your 20's? Haven't you probably developed that comfort in your own skin over time? Lots of young women are finding their way in the world, so I don't know, maybe that's it. Having said that, if you really feel hate coming from them ALL, there's generally a reason for that. You're not Samantha from Sex and the City or something? My mum's a baby boomer and i've genuinely racked my brains but I can't remember feeling threatened by someone my mother's age.
Reply:I am 19 and I do not recall being threatened by an older woman (haha except for my mother) ever. If you feel like they are threatened by your presence have you stopped to think if maybe you come off like a know it all? I am not saying you do that but a lot of older people are always like "well you will learn" or "you are just not mature" and always give you the "better" way to do something. Maybe the younger women that are around you just feel intimidated because you are classy and intelligent. Also, men like older women and the women might feel as if you are a threat to their relationship. Maybe to them it seems like you are flirting with their man. Sorry that you have this problem.
