A. There was zero infantalizing going on here, not sure you understand what that means because it doesn’t apply to the statement you are responding to.
B. Maybe you mean that the poster should give more credit to women and not assume they will all be victims to an older male.
C. Him manipulating her is not the issue. The assumption is she is looking for a meal ticket. He is more at risk to being manipulated than she is.
D. Pretty sure the poster was making a joke anyway, since it would mean if they were 30, they would only date someone who was 67 or older.

I am 31. I will make sure to go to the local high school to find girls who just turned 18 and woo them with cheap gifts. No imbalance of power or manipulation happening between consenting adults, amirite?

There is a legitimate argument to be made with reasonable people on both sides as to exactly how old is old enough to confidently say that there’s not a power imbalance due to age alone. Whether that’s 18, 21, 24 or some other number inbetween is an open question.
30+? If they wanna date somebody more than double their age, that’s completely their business.
