Maybe. I just don't like the negative press these age gap relationships almost always get when one scenario is really a good outcome.
I would say the same for the age gap relationships with older women and young men when the commonality is the guy is very submissive and the lady is very dominant type but with good head on her shoulders and has an appreciation for kind sensitive respectful passive seemingly easy to walk all over males except the female acts as protector
I agree with your premise about age gaps getting negative press. Here I stand, 24 years old but I look like I'm 18, so most in my age range, and even younger, are not attracted to me. When I finally start to look like I'm in my 20s (likely to be mid to upper 20s age range at that point) these 18-22 year olds will be telling me I'm too old for them. It is not right just to go by age.

Doesn't whether it is right or not to go by age depend on the viewpoints of those involved?
Or that he's seeking a teenaged girl who loves Disney?
Or that he writes stuff like this:
"These guys on "to catch a predator" never were gonna actually do anything. They just got curious and wanted to check out the house they were invited to because they made some sexual comment and the decoy said
"Ok can you come Saturday?"
So it's really harsh he was likely not gonna even do anything but visit and say hi to the teenage kid...not do anything to harm the kid
And the intentions could be 99% non-sexual and 1% sexual and poor guy gets worst luck with the sting operation"
That's fine. But I would not want my 19-year-old daughter coughing up the most expansive years of self-discovery, never mind get sidetracked as she gets her education, for a guy who already had time to have his fun and experience his growth. That he lacked the social skills to do so wouldn't be my concern. In fact, that would be just as bad, because I would find it unseemly for a 29-year-old to behave like a 21-year-old, with all the drama that often entails. If he has a maturity problem or a social problem, there are plenty of women closer to his age with the same. Don't try to fix your own problems on my daughter just as she is learning who she is and figuring out what to do with her life. You had your chance. Don't try to rob her of hers because she lacks the experience to see you for the problems you have.
Besides, even if they did end up together, that is exactly how gray divorce happens: A woman gives up the years she should be concentrating on herself and her dreams, settles down too young, and then when she hits her late 40s and the kids are grown and out of the house, she wakes up one day and wonders where she went in all of this.
And how precisely do you know that? I am 24 years old, and have not had my chance yet. I am definitely playing devil's advocate on people who are so close minded on things like age gaps. What if the guy who is 29 looks like he's in his early 20s, and is an otherwise normal guy (just lacks experience due to being looked over for most of his 20s because he looks too young?)
