We see posts of where a guy is 33, 34 going out with a 21, 22 year old woman (he is seen as predatory, rapist etc..

But we do not see the same outrage when women that are 40s have flings, relationships with men that are in their early/mid twenties.

In fact we see sometimes in newspapers where older women see it as complimentary that they are able to get a guy that is 20 -25 years old younger than them to go out with them.

I do think it’s weird when people past maybe 25 have any interest in people under 20, especially if they’re 16-18. I teach teenagers and there’s nothing remotely attractive about them at all. I also teach people closer to my age (late 20s) and beyond, the difference in maturity levels is huge. I just think it’s quite odd to be attracted to someone barely past puberty.
