Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?

If they are looking to date younger, I’d say that 25 would probably be the realistic minimum, as that is the age by which the brain is fully developed. If a thirty year old is looking to date older, I don’t really see any real limit. Their brain is fully developed, and they’ve been an adult long enough that they can evaluate the pros and cons of the older person.

Iirc, it’s not that the brain finishes development at 25, but that the study this point comes from stopped following its subjects at age 25. A broader look at neuro-development seems to suggest that the brain never stops ‘maturing’. It’s not always improving tbc, but there also isn’t some definitive line that makes someone cerebraly adult.
Not sure what that means in regards to this thread, but I do feel it’s worth pointing out.
