Lol. The ragebait worked. We have been sucked into the controversial topic.

As the other commenter noted, the problem isnt the age gap itself - it is the manipulation and abuse. Without that… I don’t see a problem. As an example, for a while I was casually seeing a girl who was 21 while I was 33. I communicated what I wanted, she communicated what she wanted, and we had a good time together. When she started seeing me, she had recently broken up with a bf who was the same age as me, and then after she broke things off with me (she wanted something more serious and I didn’t - but we’re still friends), she started dating a guy who was older than me. They seem happy together, and I hang out with them sometimes - but my point is, like, she had a type, lol
