You mean in the late 20’s and early 30’s. Not a lot of maturing until 25.
Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks agoYeah, I’m in my mid 30’s and my best friend is nearing 50. Believe it or not, people can have common interests that aren’t entirely reliant on their age.
Though I will say that age becomes less relevant as you get older… A 29 year old dating a 19 year old is pretty universally creepy, but few people would say the same about a 49 year old dating a 39 year old. Same age gap, but it’s assumed that the 39 year old has enough life experience to actually make their own decisions. Even in my mid-20’s, I was looking at 19 year olds as if they were literal children. There’s a lot of maturing that happens in the late teens and early 20’s.

That depends on a lot of factors, e.g. whether they go to college or start working or doing trades directly after highschool.

Half your age + 7 is a reasonable formula for determining creep factor.

No, a 19 year old dating a 16 year old is still creepy.

The age it lands on is always the grey area age. If youre 19 dating someone 16.5 thats weird but 17.5 most wouldn’t bat an eye at.

I mean, maybe 17.5 and 18+, idk about 19. What’s the brain difference between some six months of people? You could have been in a perfectly fine relationship before also.
