    I feel super guilty for saying this, but I had a gf in my twenties who was 4 years older than me, and it helped me mature a lot.

    That said, younger male comrades, don't fetishize or weirdly seek out older women pls. (not that I'm blaming anyone)

        I don't want to normalise dating older women to farm experience.

        Edit: Also I am grateful that I'm a decent human being because of her, even though we broke up.

      My wife is nearly 12 full hours older than me, sometimes I worry about the power dynamics I may not be mature enough to understand

      I had a girlfriend who was 7 years older than me. If the roles were reversed it would've been normal still lol

        The divide by 2 plus 7 rule seems to work regardless of the gender

          I really don't understand why it works so well, because it basically nails the normal/creepy line when it comes to age gaps.

      I married a girl who's 3 years older than me in my twenties.

      Still married to her, even.
