Having a series of failed relationships with 25-27 year olds over the past few years, the idea of dating an 18 year old makes me want to run away screaming.

The kind of psychology that compels adults to date people over whom they have a massive power differential — teenagers— is def a setup for a healthy relationship.

Oh interesting. I was expecting Woody Allen as the rebuttal of this happily ever aftering out. Unexpected twist.

That's ageism both ways: The young aren't weak & the old aren't power hungry. Gramps way older than Grams; Dad 27 yrs older than mom; me 17 yrs older than wife -- all in my family started succesful businesses after such partnering.

There are surely exceptions that prove every rule, but ppl who consistently pursue people they are old enough to have conceived but who are not legally old enough to drink at their own wedding is also not a result of something super healthy.

A growing demo has never actually lived as an adult by age 25 or even 30. Those of us who took the reins on schedule quite often didn't need paternalistic norms to protect us from our own self-efficacy & dated who we chose
