Age gaps are fine.
The only people that don’t like them and pego jacket others are gross sub humans that nobody wants.
Plenty of idiots in Reddit approved relationships that cheat, abuse each other, are toxic, etc.
If a 38 year old dude and his 20 year old Filipina can make it work, then it works.
Go away ugly person with opinions seasoned with jealousy.
“Age gap” by itself isn’t an automatic red flag, and sometimes it’s fine. And if everyone is consenting adults it absolutely isn’t “pedophilia”. But I will want to know more context and have zero problems judging someone based on that.
E.g. someone my age dating a 19 year old: I’m going to assume they’re incredibly immature and/or a creep unless I hear a really good reason they’re not … and I haven’t heard one yet.
Why do you feel entitled to know more about a strangers relationship?
This is the type of weird shit that makes Westerners look insane to the rest of the world.
If a person’s relationship is fine by the law and their family, then mind your own business.
Because I have eyes, ears, and I’m not an idiot? Because I know the difference between “that’s a little different but I don’t see a huge problem” and “Fucking hell, that’s not OK”.
Again: I’ve seen “age gap” relationships that were fine. I’ve also seen them where it was some incredibly fucked up dynamics being acted out.
“I’ve seen “age gap” relationships that were fine. I’ve also seen them where it was some incredibly fucked up dynamics being acted out.”
So like any relationship
I am 33 dating a Filipina who is 24. She is the love of my life!
33 / 2 = 16.5
16.5 + 7 = 23.5
23.5 < 24
You’re fine.
Went to my wife’s friend’s (Filipina) bd party last year; she was turning 30. Yay! Got to talking to an old guy who turned out to be super cool. Yay! That was her husband and he was about to turn 70. (Lots of turning in this story - what an odd turn.)

So true
And so true.
Some redditors for whatever reason also go on reddit just to try and get strangers to break up (r/relationshipadvice r/AITA)

“He went out with his friends on a Friday night like you both agreed he would? Massive red flag, get a lawyer.”

it took me a while to realize that lots of people try to destabilize the relationships of their neighbors in a subconscious attempt to advance themselves that way, because they’re removing competition from the game.
