It's time to dispel the myth once and for all that there is any good faith concern for the well being these “innocent women” who are legal adults choosing to sleep with older men. It has been going on since the beginning of time, and I suppose bitter shrews always had something to say about it but suddenly thanks to the internet we all have to hear it.
They have come up with all of these bizarre talking points to support their fervid stance, yet they are all equally nonsensical.
“we were that girl at one point, we know better and are trying to save them”
“legal adult women's brains aren't fully developed and therefore they are incapable of making informed decisions. Only for this one specific issue though, they are perfectly capable of voting, smoking cancer causing cigarettes and going to war.”
“men only target these women for aforementioned naivety and vulnerability, it has absolutely zero to do with this coincidentally being the time when they are at peak female attractiveness.”

I don't get it. It's common sense that age gaps are a barrier. But what do the redditors want here? For young women to follow a whole bunch of logical rules to quickly snatch the perfect husband then go have kids? Avoid everyone with red flags. Obey all advise. Choose the most realistic suitor. Except that's terribly boring and unromantic. People choose the relationship with a barrier to overcome for a reason. Otherwise, there's no conflict. There's no drama. No question, no desire. When these relationships fail, well-adjusted people come to accept and even enjoy the tragic story it creates. An age gap romance isn't going to leave you wrecked and scarred and unable to properly live the rest of your life unless you're an insane BPD chick. Let people have their dramas so they can more easily conjure desire.
