im 31 and just ended a 5 year relationship, when i feel ready to start dating again where does the 'creepy age gap' begin to kick in?
>>34377149Who gives a shit, there are guys in fucking 20yr gap relationships and the only people butthurt are post wall roasties who did the same shit when they were young. Just know that the bigger the gap, the more money you need to keep them unless they're a natural trad woman
Be as creepy as you feel like, we will support you always, anon.
>>34377149Isn't this like common knowledge? Half your age + 7 years when you meet, rule of thumb go no lower than that
>>34377149Half your age plus seven is the conventional wisdom, but I'm about to turn 31 and personally wouldn't go after anyone under 25.
>>34377834>personally wouldn't go after anyone under 25.Why not?
>>34377834What is the difference between a 25 year old and a 24 year old?
>>34377149the creepy age gap is imo less important, imo its key to figure out if the person you're seeing as a potential partner has a similar maturity level, priorities and goals as you. If they happen to be younger yeah good for you I guess but you'll long term be more satisfied with an age appropriate partner.speaking from experience, at 28 I was serious with a girl who was 5 years younger than me and as it turns out they actually have totally different priorities and outlooks and won't necessarily understand your struggles (neither will you theirs). It's not that I regret it, I knew the risk going in but young hoes have gotten really good at convincing you they're mature with therapy lingo, but I'll admit my eyes and sexual urges did a lot of the convincing too. people tell us who they are but we want them to be who we want them to be.
>>34377908lol bullshit
>>34377834Half your age minus seven. Got it. Reasonable.
>>34378001:D
>>3437783418-25 are really fun to drink with and fuck, you don't need to marry themt.35
>>34377908lol no. female maturity level peaks at like 16. the only difference a more "mature" woman has is* a less hot body* more emotional baggage* less neuroplasticity/ability to pair bond (you actually DON'T want a woman with a "fully developed brain")* less years of fertility left* a less hot body (yes i put this twice)there is zero advantage to beginning a relationship with a girl any older than the youngest the law allows.
>>34377149If your goal is to avoid the ire of your peers then just use the age rule, anon.(your age)/2 + 7 = (lowest age you can date)Additional secret rule: Do not date anyone young enough to be your son/daughter
>>34377149its not the age gap thats really the problem. its more so that they could be in a different place mentally. at 26, im basically thinking about children and starting a family. at 18 i was thinking about which college im going to and what video game im gonna play when i get home. at some point maybe around the 25 mark is when the gaps start to matter less and less.
