My boyfriend is almost two years younger than me. Do people still think this is weird?

Or is it only large age gaps?

I personally never thought that was weird.

The hangup that people have over it is weird though. Same thing with guys who need their girl to be shorter than them.

Yeah I don't get either honestly. My current and previous bf are both my height. I wore heels to a wedding on Sat and was now 3 inches taller than my bf and no one said anything or cared.

Not about that, no. Keep in mind this is the same boyfriend who lives a couple states away from me, and there's this pandemic going on, so it's not like many people see us together. If they did, though, I suspect they'd say nothing since I haven't aged since the mid to late 20s.

I feel like Milf and mommy fetishes are not the same.

And the gap has to be large. 2 years is nothing. It probably requires the woman to be over 40 dating a man in their 20s for it to be weird.

Is that weird for you because of the general age gap or because it's an older woman? Do you think it's weird for 40s men to date 20s women?

On an amusing note: My mind went to a fantasy setting, even a modern/urban one, in which a 117-year-old Elven woman is picking up Human men in their low 20s, and being like "But he's in college. He's so mature!"

I never understood these, either That said, I also dont really care about age gaps, either. If both people are happy, then it should be ok

never really thought about it, until I saw this topic

my ex-gf was probably 3-4 years older than me, and was also taller than me. wasn't bothered by it then, and would be ok with it today. tbh though, I feel somewhat creepy being in my forty's looking for someone younger...

Large gaps, 2 years is nothing unless you're both in high school or something.

General age gap, the age difference needs to be visible.

Also, once you get past 30 you can probably date anyone else over 30 and have it not be weird. Idk, I haven't really thought a lot about this.

2 year gap aint nothing. It becomes questionable when the gap between couples is like 7+ years.

Its usually when people have Daddy issues. I know a few people whos dad died when they were kids. One married a guy 15 years older than her and the other calls her husband daddy in public. its like wtf hes your husband not your god damn dad.

I thought you were talking about our age range in general. It seems weird to state that people in their 30s should just "take what they can get" because of their age.

You think that's bad? I've seen some boyfriends call their girlfriends "baby" in public. its like wtf shes your girlfriend not your god damn baby.

This girl at the weed dispensary I go to every week has been making eyes at me for a little while, shes always looking at me whenever I get the courage to look over.

Shes at an actual register but I go to an express pickup on the other side of the room

she looks like mid-late 20s and Im 35, is that weird? I think she might be upset if I dont at least try to talk with her. Last time I looked over and I legit saw hearts coming out of her eyes like it was a cartoon lol

im noticeably 35 but Im also nervous she might not know my age. I have to show my ID multiple times everytime I go in there though. I think she might want a daddy type of thing

Not really, it is more important that whoever your dating is at a comparable point in your life. It would be weird if you were dating someone who was still in school and lived with their parents while you have a decent job and own a house, even if you were of the same age. Conversely, if both of you are divorced with similar aged kids, it doesn't really matter if you are 10-20 years apart age wise.

Im not even sure that matters, though. Especially since people have reasons for whatever theyre doing. For example, someone could have a good job, but stay with their parents because its cheaper and helps them both out. Why move out like early if theres no reason, for example

That is a different situation than I was describing though. My example was someone who needs to live with their parents because they are working on their education and can't get a job to afford their own place without sacrificing their studies. Your example is someone who chooses to because they are helping their parents out while saving money for something else (like possibly a house they can raise a family in with their significant other).

I guess. I still dont really think people need to be in a comparable point, depending on what comparable is. Like Im not sure my BF and I arent at comparable points. Like life-wise, hes been married and divorced twice with two kids. And I havent been married, nor want to get married. And dont have, nor need, any kids But I just think as long as you love each other, are both consenting adults, and have a good relationship, its fine. I wouldnt let an age gap or whatever separate them

Is he also at a point where he doesn't want to get married or have any more kids?

Then I would say that is "comparable". It is less about history and more about what you are looking to get out of being in a relationship together. Yes, history plays a part in that too since it can impact the current relationship (like maybe helping take care of his kids?), but less so.

While I think hes good with kids, Im not sure about it marriage

And if thats what makes it comparable, that opens it up a lot more to the point where being comparable almost doesnt matter. But I guess it depends on how you look at it. Like I said, I think relationships are fine as long as its legal, not toxic, and they love each other. Regardless of age gap, height difference, etc

"Age gap, hight difference, etc..." falls under superficial compatibility. Like if someone cares about those things, they are red flags that they probably aren't looking for any serious type of relationship, or they aren't mature enough to be in a serious relationship. I mean sure, if you ask me "what is your fantasy?" for someone I am going to have a specific list of qualities. But I also know that if I want someone that isn't just eye candy that I am going to have to sacrifice several of those quantities in favor of meaningful stuff that would make me want to actually spend time with them.
