freshmaple-47 OP

I think its weird how can u possibly relate to someone 20 years younger it feels weird to me. I mean ofc everyone can do what they want but the idea of a fresh 20 yr old being with someone in their mid 40s seems so odd

gentleunicorn-93

It depends

swiftorchid-87

Its not wrong but it feels wierd to masses

swiftorchid-87

thats why these cases are rare

grandquiver-69

Not always but now societies ideas are changing, it feels more weird

snowyorange-96

If you are 21 and they are like 32 only its not weird

snowyorange-96

Otherwise if it go higher

snowyorange-96

It is

silentheron-29

I have a friend who is 29 .. I'm 19 not wierd at all unless you make it

quickbadger-36

Not a big deal :armscrossed:

freshmaple-47 OP

i mean dating

grandquiver-69

What do u think if it was a younger person crushing on someone older

grandquiver-69

Instead of dating

silentheron-29

Oo it's also okay

freshmaple-47 OP

thats fine its weird from the older persons end

freshmaple-47 OP

There is defo people closer to age for them its just insane to be with someone younger by 20+ years or even slightly less tbh

freshmaple-47 OP

to each their own but i find it really weird

quickbadger-36

Why is it weird though

freshmaple-47 OP

because how do u relate to someone who isnt even a part of ur generation someone who was born when u graduated highschool like

freshmaple-47 OP

HELLO

freshmaple-47 OP

its MYYY opinion

quickbadger-36

:straightface:

quickbadger-36

We live in the same world at the same moment for now 🙂

quickbadger-36

More than enough

quickbadger-36

Just skill issues I guess

grandquiver-69

How is that skill issues

applenectar-80

fahhhh

freshmaple-47 OP

not really different media is made for different age groups and they will have less life experience can be more naive and its just not ideal

freshmaple-47 OP

much better to date in a closer range to ur age at least inside ur generation

quickbadger-36

And if you don't relate with people in your set?

quickbadger-36

And also I have never seen media as age thing though :r_kermitcorner: . Probably because I use everything

freshmaple-47 OP

15 years per gen and u cant find a single person in that u relate to? thats

freshmaple-47 OP

okay

freshmaple-47 OP

just a bit like bru its 15 whole years u wanna go beyond that??

quickbadger-36

Lol. Oh, not me

quickbadger-36

I meant some people

quickbadger-36

And I don't think they do what they do for reasons similar with us

quickbadger-36

They might be able to relate with anyone I guess

quickbadger-36

Should be fine if both persons are like 27 above

quickbadger-36

Let's say 60-30 that's still an issue? When would it ever be okay with society?
When it's serves what the people want or the people involved?

freshmaple-47 OP

i personally think its weird when its older men going for girls in their 20s-mid 20s but if its like 35-50 whatever

quickbadger-36

Well, we need to look at how the people actually treat themselves

quickbadger-36

We still have issues of power imbalance etc even among people of the same age set

quickbadger-36

Nd also the young can also be manipulative

quickbadger-36

About that. Some of these young girls are the ones making the moves

quickbadger-36

Nd also we only look at the bad side of age difference rather than benefits

applenectar-80

fahhhh ts tuff gng

freshmaple-47 OP

because a lot of young girls and guys do get taken advantage off when they are fresh adults but older people

applenectar-80

everyone needs to get off and touch grass

freshmaple-47 OP

its a real issue and no one talks about it enough because they arent minors but someone whos 18-25 is still in danger of people who are a lotttt older in their mid 40s-60s

quickbadger-36

Huh. If I want a older Nd wealthier lady. Who is taking advantage of who

freshmaple-47 OP

i touch grass too much i never talk here now hehe

applenectar-80

real gng ts tuff gng

freshmaple-47 OP

so she will use u for obvious reasons and u use her for money but someone older might just not care about it if they have enough

freshmaple-47 OP

i just dont think its ever worth it

quickbadger-36

So you consider the younger ones the victim. It's 2026. I do see the so call victims initiating such relationships

applenectar-80

you all need to shower

quickbadger-36

So it's weird because of your personal take,rather than the interest of the people involved?

freshmaple-47 OP

its the older more mature persons job to say no a lot of young people might be desperate for money or love if they had a shitty life and someone old enough can probably tell this and use it to get power over them

freshmaple-47 OP

its weird to take advantage of people from both ends - more on the older side

freshmaple-47 OP

my opinion sue me

applenectar-80

stay alone stay happy

freshmaple-47 OP

ong the plan is finish degree and move away from crazy people

quickbadger-36

Right. Let me take away the making a relationship based on some reasons. What if I genuinely want it ?

applenectar-80

you still studying in the big twenty six fahhh

freshmaple-47 OP

if u just like older guys or younger where is ur stance

freshmaple-47 OP

or girls

freshmaple-47 OP

idk ur gender

quickbadger-36

Older ladies

freshmaple-47 OP

by 15+ years is weird what would you talk about

freshmaple-47 OP

long road for med students

quickbadger-36

That's cause you are the one making it seem that way

quickbadger-36

I'm consenting

quickbadger-36

She is

quickbadger-36

Nd it's my choice

freshmaple-47 OP

im just saying what can u relate about with someone that much older

quickbadger-36

It's not like my relationship is for the society

quickbadger-36

Define, what you mean by relate then

freshmaple-47 OP

do what u want i just find it strange when u can still be with someone older whos not so much older that u look crazy

freshmaple-47 OP

imagine taking her home ur parents what would they even say

applenectar-80

i feel you buddy stay strong

freshmaple-47 OP

to u being with someone 30 years older

quickbadger-36

Well. Relationship isn't exactly something we do for others I guess

applenectar-80

im proud of you kid :y_shook: 😭

freshmaple-47 OP

if my kid came home with someone whos 30 years older then them id be so upset because why on earth cant you just be with someone older but not so much so that its WEIRD

freshmaple-47 OP

loll

applenectar-80

i think this is all a scam

quickbadger-36

Well, so you don't care about what he wants?

quickbadger-36

He is an adult at that moment

quickbadger-36

It's okay for it to be weird but if that's what he wants, would happen anyways

freshmaple-47 OP

exactly but id find it weird

quickbadger-36

But weird is not equal to wrong right?

freshmaple-47 OP

they cousins lol weird and wrong cross all the time and i personally think its weird and wrong

quickbadger-36

Nope. Check the definitions

quickbadger-36

Those two things aren't cousins

freshmaple-47 OP

i said they arent the same but they cross paths a lot if u see someone doing something weird it might be nerdy and harmless or wrong

quickbadger-36

Wrong is something like for example dating a minor

freshmaple-47 OP

thats how i see it

quickbadger-36

Weird is, I as a consenting adult choose to be with another adult regardless of age differences

quickbadger-36

Hmm

freshmaple-47 OP

like i said do what you want i personally just find it strange because most cases its not just love

quickbadger-36

Alright,let me bring up stats then

freshmaple-47 OP

its a little bit more

freshmaple-47 OP

weird

quickbadger-36

I believe you argue from the point of 90% of theses kind of things that don't work out

quickbadger-36

But I wouldn't agree that a 10% of them don't work out

freshmaple-47 OP

i made the kind of age gap relationships i dont think are okay

freshmaple-47 OP

clearr

quickbadger-36

Some people are genuinely happy Nd okay

freshmaple-47 OP

im ofc speaking about most cases

quickbadger-36

Not okay as why?

quickbadger-36

If it's working out. Still not okay?

freshmaple-47 OP

using the okay but THEY are happy in a situation where normally its not like that isnt a solid argument they are he exception not the rule

freshmaple-47 OP

lets use our brains here ofc those are exceptions and are fine

quickbadger-36

Right. So I can't make my choice Nd be an expectation?

freshmaple-47 OP

u could be if ur intentions are right and not about money or s!x

freshmaple-47 OP

because thats what most big age gap relationships are like

freshmaple-47 OP

its all transactional

quickbadger-36

That's what people outside think

freshmaple-47 OP

ive had people dm me about this hot take saying its true and they were in similar situations as a younger VICTIM

freshmaple-47 OP

older adults can 100% take advantage of younger adults and its a problem people dgaf about since oh its two consenting adults

quickbadger-36

Right. The VICTIMS, have you been messaged by any of the other person?

freshmaple-47 OP

but i dont think thats a fair argument when they are so much older

freshmaple-47 OP

whats ur point here

quickbadger-36

My point is. You worry about the victims been the younger ones. Have you heard from the older side. And right, I do find it weird for someone with experience not being able to relate with a person who's younger. So I probably would like to see one of these victims. Stories doesn't add up from just one end

freshmaple-47 OP

it makes sense someone young just finished uni broke and alone sees someone older with money who says they will take care of them and love them just to end up emotionally and financially abusive and having that much power over them its a bad situtation

freshmaple-47 OP

and people have these things happen to them

freshmaple-47 OP

thats why its worse on the older end

freshmaple-47 OP

they know what they are doing

quickbadger-36

Oh, right. I have never meet one of these young victims. But I can clearly say with confidence that even your victims know what they are doing. You can't tell me they didn't have a choice

quickbadger-36

And yet when it doesn't work out we only get one bad guy Nd one victim, whereas there might be just two bad people

freshmaple-47 OP

some people act out of desperate means and have no other choice u must have a easy life to not recognise that some people just cant say no to soemthing like that

quickbadger-36

Oh, nice. So it's the one in power taking advantage not the victim taking advantage of the power to help their situation?

freshmaple-47 OP

no ofc there will never be a 50 50 or 0 100 in relationships but usually someones a little more in the wrong

quickbadger-36

Oh there is

quickbadger-36

Many of them

quickbadger-36

Well when you only hear from the victims

freshmaple-47 OP

what world do you live on bro

quickbadger-36

You don't get whole story

quickbadger-36

Same planet as every living soul

freshmaple-47 OP

why do you want to defend these kind of sickos so bad

freshmaple-47 OP

i made it clear the kinda people im on about

freshmaple-47 OP

stop making but what ifs

quickbadger-36

Because the victims are sickos too

quickbadger-36

Just a different kind of illness

freshmaple-47 OP

they did a shitty thing too sure but if u just look at their situation and the fact the older person is probably aware it kinda makes u think what the hell is this

freshmaple-47 OP

why is this okay to some people like you

freshmaple-47 OP

bad from both ends 100% WORSE from the older side because having power over someone with money is one of the worst things that can happen to a person in a relationship

quickbadger-36

Well. I even see the victims as the worst set of people. Why get in a situation where you were benefiting as when it doesn't work out what you. You are suddenly a victim. That's just parasitic. If we both agree on something. Then we are both our own evil doing it for our own gains. There is no greater idea unless you are treating the victims like idiots who definitely lack the power to say no. If you knew that victim was the end game don't cry after the good days are over

quickbadger-36

Please have a conversation with the bad guys

quickbadger-36

Society doesn't always hear the whole story

grandquiver-69

I think it''d be more concerning if the younger person is a teen since they lack awareness and don't understand the situation as much as others in their early 20s might, also it's easier to take advantage of them and their feelings

grandquiver-69

Especially if they may not have a good relationship with their parents and might not have a good support system

quickbadger-36

Right. About that. I forgot to add this point

quickbadger-36

Hmm. So what if both people are stable, financial doing okay and all that. Just a difference of age . I'm talking about both are above 27

grandquiver-69

That's a diff situation and personal think that's fine

quickbadger-36

Right, thank you

grandquiver-69

It's more iffy if they're younger, 27 is a grown up age

quickbadger-36

Okay

eagerpocket-35

think its just rare, not really anything wrong with it
