Most people against age gaps relationships here claim that older men are just manipulating naive young girls. From my experience most of the time the older man is the one being used.

Example one, 15yo girl and 19yo guy. It's his first girlfriend and she already had some experience. He does everything for her while she doesn't really call him except when she needs him for something. Here in Europe you can't get driving licence under 18 so she is basically using him as a free Uber.

Example two, she is 19 and just started university he is 28 working on his PhD. He is a classic "nice guy" while she goes to her fuckboy whenever he calls her and even brags to her friends about that.

Very grooming&manipulative from those guys eh.
