          Probs just my social circle. There's a girl who keeps getting off with 25-35 year olds when she's 18 and her sex positive feminist friends are calling it girl power. Who the fuck am I to say anything. I just cringe and carry on with my life.

            I'm in no position to judge someone like that considering i find people in their mid 30s to be more attractive than people younger, and have done most of my adult life

              Feel like the power dynamic is less skewed cos you're a dude. Still vulnerable to emotional manipulation but unless some woman knows mma or has a gun - assuming you aren't totally scrawny - I think 9.9/10 I would escape with my semen still inside my balls.

              EDIT: got awfully heteronormative there and forgot that I would get my asshole eaten by a big gay bear 10/10 times

                I feel like it's kind of sexist to assume women are more likely to be manipulated because of their gender?

                There are plenty of fucked up age-gap relationships, and I don't doubt there is a real phenomena of older men preying on younger adult partners. But the problems in these relationships arise from differences in status, power, wealth and stability, etc, not from the age gap itself.

                  I clarified that emotionally women and men are equally vulnerable to manipulation. The difference I said is that a violent older man can probably physically intimidate and control a young woman a lot easier than a young man.

                  I think all those things you said are obviously true, but also think in terms of experience and maturity. An old narcissist knows every trick in the book whilst a young one is probably still figuring it out.
