Roman Holiday Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Im starting to see people claim 25 is too young to be dating someone in their 30s. Are these mostly children? Can’t be because I see grown women making the same absurd claims. I forget which celeb couple it was, but they were getting dragged because she’s 23 and he barely turned 30. Like Im sorry but 25 is GROWN. Even 23. You should have enough life experience by 25 to be mature enough to date someone significantly older.
Alongoria13 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Totally but it's just a bunch of people who are a) brainwashed by social media b) too ugly/bitter too pull anything and they want to gatekeep the lifestyles they wish they had c) too young/naive to know what they are complaining about
Sesame Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 No, because in a lot of cases it’s valid. So many weirdos on this site trying to say it’s perfectly fine for an 18 year old to be hooking up with someone twice their age is so... Regardless of if they’re able to make their own decisions, it’s still predatory from the older party.
ProudLBS Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 A bit If you’re 25+ and you’re dating an 18 year old I’ll assume you started creeping on them when they were underage But at 20-21 people should be mature enough to date whoever they wanna date And before anyone comes for me, I’m 24 and my boyfriend is 32. We met when I was 20 and we started dating when I was finishing my master’s degree at age 22.
Trent W Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 It’s an online thing, it’s been going on for a few months. And like the other member said it’s mostly ugly people that can’t have one complaining about it, and honestly they like to deny it a lot but 30+ year old single women are the ones making the most of it. Age gap relationships have been going since the beginning of time and that won’t change older and young are naturally attracted.
Karasu Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 I do think is weird that if an older guy is only going after young people even if they are adults, like thats a red flag right there but outside that I don't think there are issues outside that in general. Seems to be a US-thing, people act like 19 years old are still 12.
sourtwink Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 yes. people thinking that a 17 year old dating an 18/19 year old is grooming or it’s grooming for a 25 year old to date anybody younger than them “because your frontal lobe doesn’t finish developing until 25” is demented and psychotic and it’s almost always naive teenagers or sad lonely millennial women saying this stuff
PoisonCandy Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 It's honestly exhausting and feels performative at times, especially when there are creeps going after actual children. Like I literally just saw a TikTok of some old guy trying to lure a 17 year old girl to his house. That's the stuff people should be worrying about.

conquxror Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Yes… If you’re an adult then you’re an adult.
Devin Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 In my opinion, anyone 21+ can be with whoever they wanna be with. But 17-20 yo dating 25+ and vice versa concerns me.
kandicha Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 some of the criticism of older people going after 18 and 19 year olds is worthy but after age 21-22 i don't think it's really anyone's business but the age gaps getting criticized have been getting smaller and smaller to the point of being ridiculous, as you said. a girl i know irl who spends all her time on twitter/tiktok got upset about a 23 year old woman and a 27 year old man dating

For me men 18-22 are not very attractive. But it’s normal if other people feel attraction. You probably are in one of the categories I mentioned tho.
MALAMENTE Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 It's not a bad thing but it is still a bit weird when you see a 40 something person dating a 20 something person. Like they could technically be their parents. But it is on them so whatever
thatsmydemi Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 I've seen people accuse others of grooming because a 18/19 yo dated a 17 yo. That's doing TOO MUCH. The age gap of 20-30/25-35 is fine, especially the latter. Although If I were 20, I'd never date someone above 25 but that's my personal taste. 20-40+ though... that's weird af but to each their own. I'm 26 and I'd never go below 23-24 or higher than 35. In fact, every time I've found out someone is younger, I've lost all kind of interest.
lmnoc1 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Plus nobody ever drags the pop girls... Shakira, Mondonna, Britney, Cher, Celine, Cheryl, Paula Abdul, JLo... have all done 10+ gaps It not your bussiness even if they are 18-21, leave the judgement to what the law says Also I feel bad for those olders under scrutiny of the society when its the younger ones cling on to them, which is way too common among the gays Edited January 12, 2023 by lmnoc1
KillingYourCareer Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Unless it's illegal or several decades apart, nobody cares in the real world. Let the online incels fume at others' happy relationships!
Illuminati Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) If you were into young 20 year old twinks in your 20s there's a good chance you will still find them attractive in your 30s Some people just have a type rather than go for someone that's identical to themselves.

If that's the argument, I would argue that I could date a man my same age and he could still be a manipulative and predatory POS. Yes you're right, but it should be treated on a case by case basis.

Khal Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 The internet usually amplifies the stupidest voices in a debate, so I'm not surprised.
