[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so silly, if it was a 50-year-old woman dating a 28 year old you’d all be gushing about how empowered she was and how incredible that she didn’t care about societal norms, then a number of you will talk about how you need a 28 year old to keep up with your raging libido.

Flip the genders and you’ve got predator, flip them back and you’re Susan B Anthony.

Just to add, I think there is a distinction between a 20 year age gap with the younger person being around 25+, and a 20 year age gap where the person is 19/20/21. Whether male or female, the prefrontal cortex doesn’t fully develop until 25. This is the part of the brain that moderates decision making, impulsivity, long term planning, personality expression etc…

It’s one thing is if two young adults are growing up together around this age, but when you have one 40 year old with a 20 year old it’s more often than not just off.

I get that occasionally some people just click and are great partners. Ok then, but the vast majority of people who serially date people 20 years younger than they are and the younger person is basically a baby adult are absolutely targeting their age. That is a little creepy. There are just as many attractive, fun, whatever people eligible for dating that have fully developed brains and are 26, 26, 27. [/quote]
