    To everyone saying this is creepy. At what age would you allow a woman to choose her own partner?

      Many women actually choose this lifestyle.

      My GF used to be together with a guy close to 20 years oder than her. She wanted a mature man but ended up finding out the hard way that age does not necessarily corellate with maturity. He was a really immature, self-centered dickhead, from what she told me.

      She’s barely a year older than me.

    27 / 2 = 13.5 + 7 = 20.5

    Apparently its ok. Idk how many people heard of the “half your age + 7” rule of thumb.

    Jerry Seinfeld dated a 17 year old when he was like 38 which is way worse and he just kinda… got away with it?

      I’m amazed how well the 1/2+7 rule of thumb works, it seems like it shouldn’t match up so well with the limits of what I see as acceptable

        The thing that sucks is every time I tell someone this shit in some circles I get flamed to hell. We need to fucking excise the prudes from the left.

      Unbelievably 17 is the age of consent in some States. Except in the South where it can be as low as your mom.

    I do have a 31 year old platonic dom as a 20 year old. They are pretty cool and respectful. It is OK to be uncomfortable about age gaps but don’t yuck anybody’s yum and let me have my agency

      It’s curious to see people who champion gender affirming care for 20 year olds suddenly get skittish when they find out 20 year olds might do other things with their genitals.

      Like, are you an adult or aren’t you?

      I never really understood that too. Then when i was like 35, i met this girl on tinder who was 26. I always thought she was just too young. But it was nice talking to her. Just before we met, she confessed that she was actually 22. I thought it was rude to just blow her off and we met anyway. And oh boy was it weird. It was likt hanging out with an actual child. We talk different, and she was really immature, but in a different way that i was, her stories were only interesting when you just finished school. The list goes on and on. The only upside was that i look really young and she looked older. I really started questioning people being into much younger people.

        I’m just tired of the non stop infantilization of women. Not to mention the only times I really see people commenting on age gaps, they end up being men.

    Age gaps are fine.

    The only people that don’t like them and pego jacket others are gross sub humans that nobody wants.

    Plenty of idiots in Reddit approved relationships that cheat, abuse each other, are toxic, etc.

    If a 38 year old dude and his 20 year old Filipina can make it work, then it works.

    Go away ugly person with opinions seasoned with jealousy.

      So true

      Plenty of idiots in Reddit approved relationships that cheat, abuse each other, are toxic, etc

      And so true.

      Some redditors for whatever reason also go on reddit just to try and get strangers to break up (r/relationshipadvice r/AITA)

    In the nicest way to Anon, it may not be paedophilic, but 27 dating 20 is still sus as fuck.

    Sure, the older you are the less the age gap matters - like nobody would look at an 80 year old weirdly for dating a 70 year old.

    … but at 20 years old, a 7 year age gap is 1/3 of their lifespan apart. That’s a fucking lot!
