Are you ****ing kidding?

No I'm not. I'm sick of people telling others how to live their lives, based on their own made up "morals", particularly when they've done things which other so called moral guardians would have a go at them for.

But yes, continue to call people "dirty old men", or whatever other ageist labels you have to judge people you know nothing about with.

She's an adult, you're an adult. Oh who cares what "social media" thinks. Go have fun.

LOL.

What's your age, gender, and the target age of those you are involved with/wish to be involved with, I wonder?

I'm in my mid 30s, male. The last woman I dated was in her 40s, most have been a couple of years older than me. A couple have been early 20s.

Unlike some of you people, I'm not ageist. I'm happy to date anyone who is of legal age and who I feel brings happiness to us both. I don't judge anyone on any legal, consensual relationship they have. People like you should think about doing likewise.

I notice the majority of people who I hear complain about these relationships are women who are 30+ and are bitter that men are dating younger girls, because they can. A lot of girls like older men, it was always thus.

You're right, people can do whatever they want with whomever they want (consenting adults, blah blah.) But at the same time, when someone airs their laundry on a worldwide internet message board, they're asking for others to weigh in with their opinions. You can do whatever you want, and I can judge you for it. If OP just wanted a high five, he wouldn't be here. He'd be out banging the 19-year-old.

He's on here posting because, unfortunately, modern American society has created a stigma around age gap relationships. If people like yourself weren't passing judgment on things which don't negatively affect you or anyone else, he wouldn't have to, he could just enjoy the relationship in peace.

Given that even a cursory look over your previous posts reveals a lot of critique of "Americans" and their silly American ways of doing things and looking at things, and the many ways that the UK, etc. are superior, I'm not so certain that you have a lot of room on the moral high ground front to be admonishing others for biases.

People can absolutely do whatever they want (bearing in mind potential consequences). I actually agree with you that people of age to make their own decisions can make whatever decisions they like, based on whatever criteria they choose (yes, even strongly biased criteria).

And if they post things on public forums in anticipation of feedback, that's what they'll get. Sometimes, they get feedback they feel good about, sometimes not.

B.S.

He can "enjoy" whatever relationship he likes.

People who are comfortable in their choices don't sweat approval from strangers.

My husband doesn't like them that young either. We had a thing for a while with a 24-year-old, but she was just in a different world. Maybe it's because we're parents.
