I'll be 25 next year, and I never had interest in men younger than me, even by a year younger than me. Based on personal experiences, they have been immature. However, I am aware that age doesn't define maturity. I recently experienced it earlier this with someone who was 32. I think culturally and personally, I grew up too quickly, so I always hung out with older people than me, but it wasn't concerning. I have friends in their late 20s or early 30s, and it doesn't bug me. I have matched with people 5-6 years older than me (my personal limit on age gap) on Tinder, but they're all...for a lack of a better word...fuckboys. That's why I stopped using dating apps. I sometimes can't see myself going out with older men because I still commute and live at home, but that was a decision I made, since I'm in grad school (will be in 250k in debt), but my family is incredibly supportive. Honestly, it's a blessing, but it's my collectivistic upbringing, so I can only imagine or perceive judgment from more individualistic, eurocentric people/

I keep thinking about my coworker who's 6 years younger than me, so I'm just gonna settle into this post.

The first dude i had sex with was about 20 years older. I was about 25 and he was 44. He was really cool tho and nice. And sweet. He was really hot and really honest. He was also in an on and off relationship with his baby mother. His son was about 23 and also really hot. His on and off relationship worked bc it made him never jealous about my own side relationships. He just always wanted me to be honest to which i was. It was actually one of the healthiest relationships ive had. It only ended bc i went into a serious relationship. Great experience

One of my friends, her stepson is a few years older than her. His father was a bit threatened by the possibility she would be into the son more than him once they were introduced.

Adults and teenagers is just downright predatory.

Oh no. That sounds like the kind of person who is easily manipulated by someone older telling them "you're so mature" as a way to control.

I'm not really sure what we're meaning my May-December here because isn't it usually meant as a younger woman/older man and not adult/child like in this post?

But yes. I was 23 and my spouse was 36 when we started dating. We're married now.

it is. i think it's fine if you just happen to meet and connect but people who specifically target a huge age difference kinda creep me out.
