Significant Age and Experience Gap

Bad. Don’t do it, I feel like we have this thread once a week or more and it’s because “stable” older men can masquerade in a lot of different ways. I’ve done the age gap and I won’t be doing it again. I want someone my own age.

No, he is a predator looking for someone less experience to manipulate because women his own age can see through his bullshit.

No. Just no.

That was the same situation with my ex (but I have more dating experience than you posted), with the same age gap.

I've never questioned my mental sanity more than I did than when I was with him. I would not recommend it. I'll probably never do more than five years again. Even if you happen to have the same "maturity" level, it's usually because he's emotionally stunted in some way. In that case, there is no reason to be with an older man who has the maturity of someone a decade younger.

They've often had years to practice living double lives, keeping secrets, and playing mind games that will make you question just how in touch with reality you really are. I was going to put something in fine print about how NAMALT, but thought better of it after considering it for more than 2.5 seconds; genuine healthy relationships with that large of an age gap are so few and far between they are not even worth mentioning.

There is a reason why it is a stereotype that it's unhealthy, in one fashion or another.

If you like having your young age fetishized, then go for it. Literally every one of them did that, even ones I just briefly talk to online.

The way I saw it was, if I would never even entertain the thought of dating an 18 or 19 year old, when I'm only a few years older, what would possess someone to actively seek someone a decade, or two, or three (!!! Yes, it did happen to me) younger.
