@cosmicwalrus-98 a 20 yr old can just as likely be manipulated by another 20 yr old. it's false equivalence. There's…

What kind of experience do you think I have messing with old ass people. It’s true that you can be manipulated by anyone, you can see it in everyday relationships. It starts pretty early, even middle schoolers have toxic relationships nowadays. It’s less likely to be a victim to someone that isn’t 30y older than you tho. That’s just a fact.

@cosmicwalrus-98 read the fulll text. about maturity

Women don't get matured until about 25 when their brain is fully developed and have gotten enough life experience

cosmicwalrus-98 OP

If you think 20 or so is undeveloped, then they shouldn't be able to vote, drive , take loan, credit card, join army or work either.

cause if you consider 20 too "underdeveloped" to date someone then how can you say they're developd enough to fire guns in army? or take 50,000 usd loan for college?

Not all relationships are based on love:armscrossed: . Both the young and old would have motives i guess. And also who said the younger person can't be manipulative lol

sharpdolphin-67

according to relationships with big age gaps in adult life: AI generated - People judge adult relationships with a 20+ year age gap primarily because they perceive them as inherently unequal, assuming the older partner is leveraging financial power or status to exploit a younger, less experienced partner.

cosmicwalrus-98 OP

replace it with religion. you can choose religion. if someone is christian and im very judgemental or if someone is immigrant (which is a choice) and i judge them?

STILL BAD.

@quickbadger-36 So it's the older that is always exploiting?
sharpdolphin-67

from what I KNOW, I think the person whos younger in the adult relationship will most likely take advantage of the opportunies aka coming from rich people (ya know sugar zaddies)

@quickbadger-36 So it's the older that is always exploiting?
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

according to them yes. older people are evil and younger ones are dumb

quickbadger-36

:pepetea: so what's the most age gap difference then. The one you guys find acceptable

@cosmicwalrus-98 according to them yes. older people are evil and younger ones are dumb

Lol. I wish that was true

@cosmicwalrus-98 if you have driving license, LIVES of multiple people are in your hand. you HAVE to be mature.
snowyjungle-82

You are slow bro....
Age doesn't mean maturity
How can you be mature when you don't have the capacity to be....?
You can't just claim to be matured cus of age
Female brain or adult if I should say brains develop fully around 25...

@sunnyjester-27 Ofc judges that daily
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

we shouldnt. thats the point

sharpdolphin-67

In short terms this post is very relateable to sugar zaddy

@cosmicwalrus-98 according to them yes. older people are evil and younger ones are dumb
happybeacon-57

That’s not what we’re saying man. A 30y gap in a relationship can be ok, but why does it have to involve a 20yo that’s not even fully mature?

my pint is selective maturity.

If you think 20 or so is undeveloped, then they shouldn't be able to vote, drive , take loan, credit card, join army or work either.

cause if you consider 20 too "underdeveloped" to date someone then how can you say they're developd enough to fire guns in army? or take 50,000 usd loan for college?
