    “Age gap” by itself isn’t an automatic red flag, and sometimes it’s fine. And if everyone is consenting adults it absolutely isn’t “pedophilia”. But I will want to know more context and have zero problems judging someone in that situation.

    Let’s not pretend there’s not a lot of “age gap” relationships where the older party isn’t at minimum incredibly immature. And I’m talking about people 40+ dating people barely out of their teens.

      Why do you feel entitled to know more about a strangers relationship?

      This is the type of weird shit that makes Westerners look insane to the rest of the world.

      If a person’s relationship is fine by the law and their family, then mind your own business.

        Because I have eyes, ears, and I’m not an idiot? Because I know the difference between “that’s a little different but I don’t see a huge problem” and “Fucking hell, that’s not OK”.

        Again: I’ve seen “age gap” relationships that were fine. I’ve also seen them where it was some incredibly fucked up dynamics being acted out.

          So like any relationship
