Ok fair point. Though I’ll say in my experience I don’t see people being weird out by 33/40 or even 33/51 in most cases. It’s almost always with someone in their early 20s and it comes off weird when you know that the brain isn’t even finished developing until years later. I think once someone reaches around 25-30 then they are truly considered “adult” in a more broad social sense.
Common complaint from people is that we send “kids” to war, but obviously most don’t. We just know that’s it’s fucked up to make young people 18- early 20s make life altering decisions.
Age gaps in partners.
Depends on the gap lol
Why?
13/30 is rather problematic
What’s 13/30 mean?
… a 13 year old with a 30 year old…
Why would you assume that from just saying “age gap”?
… I was making a joke about it by saying ‘depends on the age gap lol’…
Why are you getting defensive?
Ofc consenting adult relationships with large age gaps are generally fine with some exceptions.
Because child abuse is a weird thing to joke about.
I got the joke. Made perfect sense in the context of the thread.
That’s not about the gap. That’s about the age. That’s an entirely different thing.
13/13 is fine. It is definitely about the gap wtf?
So 13/20 is the same as 33/40. Gap is the same. Or 33/51 if you want percentages.

Also anyone dating legal teenagers as an adult are weird AF. Gives off “Id go lower but the law won’t let me”
I concur. It looks more like manipulation then a relationship.
