21dAge Gap Relationships
Just curious but what do you think about age gap relationships when dating or is it more about that connection for you ??

Well, the age difference doesn't matter to me in a certain sense as long as I get along with someone, but there is also a boundary set by mental maturity.

All the guys write that age doesn't matter, but I think women pay more attention to it. Dating a guy 20 years older is not cool at all.

It doesn't matter if you're underage, what matters is the person themselves.

I have a wide age range in my preferences. Usually I don't reach out to women much below 25, because I get the idea that 21st century American culture frowns on it (not sure why) and I don't want to creep anyone out. But if we match, that's another story. I don't see a big issue with it necessarily, but I wonder what happens when you get older. A 40 year old and an 18 year old is one thing, but what happens when one person is just retiring and wanting to go on adventures, but the other person is pushing 90? A little more challenging. Still, it has worked before.

I wasn't very in favor of it, but a few years ago I fell in love with someone younger who treated me amazingly.

In my case, at 44 years old, I feel uneasy about dating much younger women even if they say they don't want kids because the instinct can arise later. Aside from that, age is just a number; being comfortable with the other person and respect is what will make it last.

Hi dear Erin, I don't think the age difference is important. You can be mistaken about younger or older partners, or you can build a beautiful connection. When you fall in love, it doesn't matter because chemistry, interests, and passion count. I just had to realize that it can lead to problems in the relationship since the ideas and interests can go in different directions. I had to notice this in my long-term relationship with a woman who is 8 years older than me, who also made me feel "older." That's why I feel more attracted to younger women, as they keep me young in terms of mental age, and I have many interests that perhaps "older" women may not have anymore. (edited)

Gonna be super real age gaps can be incredibly problematic for people under age 25, but like if a 30 and 50 year old got together I dont see a problem? The issue mainly stems imo from a brain development perspective given that the prefrontal cortex isnt fully developed until age 25 so anyone younger than that kinda is at slight risk of being groomed even as legal adults
