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
It depends
Its not wrong but it feels wierd to masses
thats why these cases are rare
Not always but now societies ideas are changing, it feels more weird
If you are 21 and they are like 32 only its not weird
Otherwise if it go higher
It is
I have a friend who is 29 .. I'm 19 not wierd at all unless you make it
Not a big deal 
i mean dating
What do u think if it was a younger person crushing on someone older
Instead of dating
Oo it's also okay
thats fine its weird from the older persons end
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
to each their own but i find it really weird
Why is it weird though
because how do u relate to someone who isnt even a part of ur generation someone who was born when u graduated highschool like
HELLO
its MYYY opinion

We live in the same world at the same moment for now 🙂
More than enough
Just skill issues I guess
How is that skill issues

fahhhh
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
much better to date in a closer range to ur age at least inside ur generation
And if you don't relate with people in your set?
And also I have never seen media as age thing though
. Probably because I use everything
15 years per gen and u cant find a single person in that u relate to? thats
okay
just a bit like bru its 15 whole years u wanna go beyond that??
Lol. Oh, not me
I meant some people
And I don't think they do what they do for reasons similar with us
They might be able to relate with anyone I guess
Should be fine if both persons are like 27 above
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?
i personally think its weird when its older men going for girls in their 20s-mid 20s but if its like 35-50 whatever
Well, we need to look at how the people actually treat themselves
We still have issues of power imbalance etc even among people of the same age set
Nd also the young can also be manipulative
About that. Some of these young girls are the ones making the moves
Nd also we only look at the bad side of age difference rather than benefits
fahhhh ts tuff gng
because a lot of young girls and guys do get taken advantage off when they are fresh adults but older people
everyone needs to get off and touch grass
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
Huh. If I want a older Nd wealthier lady. Who is taking advantage of who
i touch grass too much i never talk here now hehe
real gng ts tuff gng
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
i just dont think its ever worth it
So you consider the younger ones the victim. It's 2026. I do see the so call victims initiating such relationships
you all need to shower
So it's weird because of your personal take,rather than the interest of the people involved?
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
its weird to take advantage of people from both ends - more on the older side
my opinion sue me
stay alone stay happy
ong the plan is finish degree and move away from crazy people
Right. Let me take away the making a relationship based on some reasons. What if I genuinely want it ?
you still studying in the big twenty six fahhh
if u just like older guys or younger where is ur stance
or girls
idk ur gender
Older ladies
by 15+ years is weird what would you talk about
long road for med students
That's cause you are the one making it seem that way
I'm consenting
She is
Nd it's my choice
im just saying what can u relate about with someone that much older
It's not like my relationship is for the society
Define, what you mean by relate then
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
imagine taking her home ur parents what would they even say
i feel you buddy stay strong
to u being with someone 30 years older
Well. Relationship isn't exactly something we do for others I guess
im proud of you kid
😭
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
loll
i think this is all a scam
Well, so you don't care about what he wants?
He is an adult at that moment
It's okay for it to be weird but if that's what he wants, would happen anyways
exactly but id find it weird
But weird is not equal to wrong right?
they cousins lol weird and wrong cross all the time and i personally think its weird and wrong
Nope. Check the definitions
Those two things aren't cousins
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
Wrong is something like for example dating a minor
thats how i see it
Weird is, I as a consenting adult choose to be with another adult regardless of age differences
Hmm
like i said do what you want i personally just find it strange because most cases its not just love
Alright,let me bring up stats then
its a little bit more
weird
I believe you argue from the point of 90% of theses kind of things that don't work out
But I wouldn't agree that a 10% of them don't work out
i made the kind of age gap relationships i dont think are okay
clearr
Some people are genuinely happy Nd okay
im ofc speaking about most cases
Not okay as why?
If it's working out. Still not okay?
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
lets use our brains here ofc those are exceptions and are fine
Right. So I can't make my choice Nd be an expectation?
u could be if ur intentions are right and not about money or s!x
because thats what most big age gap relationships are like
its all transactional
That's what people outside think
ive had people dm me about this hot take saying its true and they were in similar situations as a younger VICTIM
older adults can 100% take advantage of younger adults and its a problem people dgaf about since oh its two consenting adults
Right. The VICTIMS, have you been messaged by any of the other person?
but i dont think thats a fair argument when they are so much older
whats ur point here
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
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
and people have these things happen to them
thats why its worse on the older end
they know what they are doing
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
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
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
Oh, nice. So it's the one in power taking advantage not the victim taking advantage of the power to help their situation?
no ofc there will never be a 50 50 or 0 100 in relationships but usually someones a little more in the wrong
Oh there is
Many of them
Well when you only hear from the victims
what world do you live on bro
You don't get whole story
Same planet as every living soul
why do you want to defend these kind of sickos so bad
i made it clear the kinda people im on about
stop making but what ifs
Because the victims are sickos too
Just a different kind of illness
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
why is this okay to some people like you
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
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
Please have a conversation with the bad guys
Society doesn't always hear the whole story
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
Especially if they may not have a good relationship with their parents and might not have a good support system
Right. About that. I forgot to add this point
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
That's a diff situation and personal think that's fine
Right, thank you
It's more iffy if they're younger, 27 is a grown up age
Okay
think its just rare, not really anything wrong with it
