Age gaps

[analievelyn]

What do y'all think of this way of explaining why age gaps involving a young partner/older partner (ex. 21, 44) is diff than an adult partner/olddd person (45, 90)?

I've always struggle to articulate it, but I came across these on twitter today.

NTA and Dad is making a false equivalence. How large a gap can go before it gets creepy is relative to the age of the younger person

Age gaps aren't statically creepy. A 7 year difference is fucking weird between an 18yo and a 25yo but it's perfectly fine from 30 to 37.
It's the experience, gap, the life gap, and above all whether or not you're EXPLOITING LACK OF MATURITY.

Didn't know how to reason why I naturally feel it's creepy that he's dating a 22-year-old even though she's an adult, but this person put it in clear terms pic.twitter.com/tcZqeR2ic4

that’s a good way of explaining it. it’s a lot less creepy for someone whose 35 to date someone in their fifties than them then someone who just turned 20 lol

100% creepy. The fact that Leonardo's girl friend Camila is exactly the same age as Titanic movie?? so when he was filming Titanic, Camilla wasn't even in this world? and what do they talk about when they're not fucking or travelling.

You would think this celebs would have fucked enough girls in their 20's when they were in their 20's... it's like an insatiable thirst for younger girls

even w/ old ppl? And I def agree w/ the leo shit. Idk how he has no shame. I mean i do, but still.

I think there's a huge difference between 47 and 22 lol. A 47 year old dating 68 is fine. 47 dating 22 is questionable... like it's just weird

Ah ok!! we're on the same page. Just checking.

What do you think of the way those tweets frame it. I found it helpful

the dad thing reminds me of my coworker (23) whose dad (44) is dating a 20 year old and she literally refuses to talk to him now bc of it lol

I definitely agree with the person who said that the creepiness of an age gap is relative to the age of the younger person. A person in their 40s dating someone in their 60s is far less creepy than that same person dating someone in their 20s.
