Age of Consent and Age Gaps - someone had to do it

These are even worse than the loli debate threads.

This is based off of personal experiences. This puts into things like life stages including college, frontal lobe development, all that. 18 - 20 you're either still teenagers, or one is freshly exiting teenager era so your maturity levels will be a bit more closer and the gap of completing milestones won't be as severe. Between the ages of 21 and 24 you're both still dealing with college and being a dumb party person figuring things out. You're further into the "adult stages" or should at least be considering adult things/fucking it up. 25 is when your frontal lobe fully develops and you're typically done with college, thinking about more serious things and wanting a bit more security and stability or have those things in mind

We settled on 18 being the Age Where You Are An Adult. If you are not "mature" by then, that is your damn problem and nobody else's. Except maybe your parents, but that's neither here nor there. Once you are 18, you can date whomever the fuck you want and marry and fuck whomever the fuck you want and nobody can stop you. Maybe they'll judge you, but it doesn't impact their life, so who cares.

Nobody is "taking advantage" of anybody. Nobody can force anyone to date anyone. If we could, nobody would ever be single.
The people who argue otherwise are literally retarded. The brain development argument is equally retarded. All of your organs operate on bell curves. "Fully developed" just means it's now on the other end of that bell curve.

Here's another newsflash. Maturity doesn't exist. When we say maturity, we mean "this person doesn't do dumb things". We here at KiwiFarms thrive off of laughing at people's dumb choices and should know better than anyone else: You can't fix stupid. Stupid can be at any age, at any time. Thus, "maturity" can be at any age, at any time.

As far as "life experience" goes, life is not a video game. You do not gain experience points. You do not level up. A 50 year old man dating a 21 year old woman is not dating her because he finds her personality charming. He is not dating her because they have sooooo much in common. He does not care about those things, he wants sex and hot wife. She, by contrast, likes the money and likes the way he treats her and doesn't mind giving him sex. Maybe this is even her thing. Either way, they understand the nature of their relationship. Maybe better than you understand your own. You don't need to be similar in age to find things to talk about, you just have to enjoy each other's company. Like all other relationships, it can end at any moment. However, if they make this dynamic work, you hating them only exposes how much of an envious loser you are. Nobody is taking advantage of anyone.

As long as you're over 18, or whatever your age of consent is, it literally doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to make it work is strength of character. Nobody can force anybody to date anybody otherwise nobody would be single.
