Do people who go for large age gaps have mental issues?

[Anonymous]

As a 29 yr old, after having multiple experiences trying to befriend much younger people. I have come to the conclusion that most 18 to 22 yr olds are still like kids. Immature, hyper, lack basic common knowledge of the world, overly emotional, severe lack of basic life experience. Honestly hanging out with them feels like babysitting. I just feel like I can't relate to them at all, despite it just being a 8 to 9 yr age gap.

So I can't imagine being one of those 45 yr olds who are desperate to date a 22 yr old.

These people's brains have not finished developing and its so obvious. Anyone who wants to date someone this age must be immature or have issues themselves or are only after sex.

There is some pretty good lines of physiological and psychological data that 17 to 25 there are big neuroplasticity changes and developmental psychology changes. That makes that adult age group stand out in stark differences developmentally to other decade changes. So it's not unusual that it stands out to you. Understand that it's a bell curve and the individuals can be outliers.

its really disgusting how there are so many perverted men out there who would date a big kid just to have sex with them. The world has so many sexual predators

[shortster]

The immaturity of 18-22 year olds is due in large part to the education system that is designed to keep people out of the work force for as long as possible. I think that a 10-15 year age gap is ideal. As for mental illness, I have heard individuals with autism, like myself, are typically 10 years behind in social development. Something important for developing relationships.

[Asker]

10-15 year age gap is only for perverts or immature older adults.

[shortster]

Don't be gatekeeping love. If both people are adults then who cares how old each one is? Only busybodies that have nothing better to do than complain about other people's happiness.

[Asker]

I'm not gatekeeping anything. I'm just pointing out who you are, if you are going after dating big kids. There is a reason why large age gap relationships are looked down upon and now I have found out the reason why.

[shortster]

Big kids? I am talking about adults. Are you infantilizing adults?

[Asker]

@shortster

Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.

[shortster]

I thought I did, but now I am not sure

[Nikki1989]

Most men under 30 are big kids. They say otherwise in one breath while proving it to be true the next minute, and some men NEVER grow up.

This site is full of daily examples of that.

[Anonymous]

Asking this question is like asking, "do women have mental issues because of hormones"?

Do you think women have mental issues because of hormones?

[Asker]

dating a big kid for sex is just the same thing as saying taking advantage of someone for their body.

[Asker]

there is no love in your dating. Its just a sexual predator taking advantage of someone who is very young and has no idea what is going on

[Opinion Owner]

OK. But how is that a mental issue? It's no different the a woman who leads guys on for attention. It's just expressed physically. Or it's no different than a woman who dig gold with guys with money.

And there's seldom love in dating anyhow. I love how your pretends like there is. Most of your gender is just indulging a fantasy, indulging feelings.

[Asker]

because it is immoral to date someone you are not interested in, just to take advantage of them.

and lets face it, there is NO DATING involved, just a guy who wants a free prostitute.

[Asker]

you just like to call it dating because you're too ashamed to openly say you just want a free prostitute.

[Opinion Owner]

It's no moral immoral to do that than it is to lead a guy on or to be a gold digger. Yet you see no problem with that apparently.
And you're only calling it prostitution because your upset that think young women are too stupid to see through the guys ruse.

[Opinion Owner]

No more immoral*

[Tempest_Flame]

it's called: you're a fuckign chick. of course you don't like dating younger. you're not a man

[Asker]

not all men want to date someone just for their looks. only perverts do that

[Asker]

if you're dating big kids, just for sex. that alone says a lot about you

[Tempest_Flame]

lol not all but most. ever seen a thing called stats?

[Tempest_Flame]

just because nobody wants a dried up 29 year old don't whine about it. date a 50 year old and be sane

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

check marriage statistics, average age gap is less than 5 years apart.

[Asker]

[just because nobody wants a dried up 29 year old don't whine about it. date a 50 year old and be sane]

and what makes you think hot young girls in their 20s want old, aging, fat, wrinkly 50 yr olds suffering from erectile dysfunction?

[Tempest_Flame]

who gives a shit about marraige stats. only retards even get married these days.

experience

[Asker]

A growing share of U. S. husbands and wives are roughly the same age

[Asker]

age gaps have never been large.

its just that desperate unattractive old men like to delude themselves to believing that hot young women want them

[Asker]

On average, husbands and wives were 2.2 years apart in age in 2022, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U. S. Census Bureau data. This is down from 2.4 years in 2000 and 4.9 years in 1880.

[Tempest_Flame]

again who cares about married people. men who get married today are retards who don't deserve to live

@tempest_flame

Dataclysm, a book by Christian Rudder based on data from the dating site OkCupid, found that young women tend to find men their own age or slightly older most desirable, e. g. 20-year-old women found 23-year-old men most attractive and 30-year-old women found 30-year-old men most attractive.

[Asker]

In contrast, men displayed a consistent preference for women in their early 20s, e. g. 50-year-old men found 22-year-old women most attractive.[49]

[Tempest_Flame]

that's what I told you before

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

just because you want a 22 yr old, it doesn't means she wants you

[Tempest_Flame]

I'm confident that if I spent enough time at starbucks near the university I could get an 18 year old girlfriend. I don't want a girlfriend though. Useless things.

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

18 yr olds tend to date 19-22 yr olds. They have no interest in perverted old daddies looking for young girls to rape.

[Tempest_Flame]

maybe. but the normal rules don't apply to me

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

thats what all old men say.

[Tempest_Flame]

I don't really care either way. GFs are useless.

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

well your perverted daddy pleasures are going to ruin your life eventually. By teh time you are 60, you will no longer attract 18 yr olds, neither would you have an 18 yr old daughter to fuck. you will have no wife, no kids , no family who give a shit about you

[Tempest_Flame]

kids just grow up and move away anyway. and a wife? who needs her.

[Tempest_Flame]

and I don't chase daddy pleasures now. I don' tbother with chicks

[Asker]

you should hangout at your local high school during recess, wait for those kid to turn 18 so you can have sex with them. Make sure to get their number so they can text you

[Tempest_Flame]

what part of this don't you understand. I don't waste time on chicks.

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

I'm just saying if you want the freshest, youngest , virgin chicks with the tightest holes and perkiest tits, you should hangout at your local high school during recess.

Get their numbers so they can text you on their 18th birthday that they're ready to fuck

[Tempest_Flame]

I have zero interest

[Asker]

@tempest_flame

you just said you wanted the youngest girls.

[Tempest_Flame]

I actually don't want any girl

[Anonymous]

You’re an idiot.

[Asker]

sexual predator

[Opinion Owner]

Poor girl got her feelings hurt

[Asker]

I have no interest in perverted sexual predators.

[Opinion Owner]

I have no interest in single skanks. Neither do a lot of other men that’s why you’re single.
