bait as hell, but I’ll bite. Nothing wrong with it PROVIDED they’re both consenting adults who aren’t being taken advantage of, and there’s no power dynamic that allows the older partner to control the younger partner

My opinion of age gaps is largely influenced by my parents. They are 8 and a half years apart but they got married when my mom was 28/29 and my dad was in his 30s. They didn’t start dating until my mom was in her mid 20s. Both of them had (and still have) jobs and social lives that make it so neither of them is dependent on the other. So, I think it’s fine as long as both people have enough money and enough of a life that they would be okay if they broke up/ got divorced.

I know it’s not really my business but I don’t like how normalized it feels, especially within mlm relationships. No I do not want a “daddy.” I want a man my own age and the fact that people have called that desire strange bothers me

Depends. 30+50, yeah okay. 20+40 weird.

If it’s two consenting adults, who cares?

None of these options explain how I feel, which is that regardless of sexuality I think it’s often bad news but can be okay for some people in some circumstances

I think if everyone involved is over the age of 25 then who cares, everyone is a fully formed adult and able to make their own decisions. if one person is under 25 then I do think that relationship is probably a little sketchy and it's likely there is an inherent imbalance in that relationship

Its okay if they r older, younger age gaps r iffy

I was at one point in a sapphic relationship with a woman 12 years older than me... it, unfortunately, did not go well for me. Lot of mental baggage
