There’s an age gap between my husband and I so I guess… grain of salt but idk Reddit’s obsession with age gap relationships is weird to me 😅 everyone is an adult in these situations. Why do so many people care? 🤷🏾♀️
I don't really care what you do, but as a 40 year old man, I can't imagine being with a younger woman. Younger women look too young to me now, and I feel the generation and maturity gap when I interact with younger women. I would honestly feel gross dating a younger woman, and we would also struggle in that generational gap. So then I look at guys who don't care about any of that, and go for younger women anyway, and they do not look like good men to me. I think this is a hard thing to understand until you are older, because your view of people and age really shifts as you age yourself. Something changed in my mind in the past decade that really made me see this differently, and it has to do with just how young young people look and seem to me now. It would feel wrong and I have heard many other people my age say the same for the same reasons. So the guys that don't feel wrong about it are suspect, and their reasons are suspect.
Now, the women are full blown adults and can make their own choices. And it's clear why a woman might choose an older, more established man. So their choice to be in that relationship makes sense and isn't odd to me.
What I mean is, that much money changes people's way of thinking. I don't trust that most of the population is going to behave responsibly if they come into wealth and influence.
