Dioyou think this age gap is weird? 40M and 21M

It's none of my business but I find it a bit gross. I don't know any couples with massive age gaps so never really thought about it until now and I find myself finding it a bit gross and I'm annoyed about myself for feeling like that!

Edit: that was supposed to say 40M and 21F!!

I completely agree. However, there was a thread from a little while back about 16yo girls in relationships with 20/21yo men and the vast majority (presumably mostly women on here) were saying that it was no issue whatsoever; many reasoned that girls mature much more quickly than boys, so it was pretty much even anyway.

I was shocked at the prevailing opinion, tbh (I'd probably be dismissed as a pearl-clutcher, mind).

Ugh, that's revolting.
