do you not know why it’s a problem? middle aged people with 10+ age gaps is hardly ever talked abt but 10+ age gaps w younger people is talked abt more.. wonder why??? ITS BECAUSE OF THE MATURITY DIFFERENCE… a girl who’s 17 (FRESH OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL BTW) and a guy who’s in his mid 20s should not be together and the older person should not be liking a kid who’s less experienced and is more naive
You’re stupid if you genuinely think that maturity is based on experience alone. Brain development is a huge contributor and even though many 17 year olds can consider themselves as ‘mature for their age’ that doesn’t mean they’re at an adult thinking level. Your brain isn’t fully developed until you’re 25.
If you’re just saying that because you want to defend your culture then sorry to say your culture is WRONG in that aspect.
AHAHAHAHAHAAH never read such bullsxit (and from someone that says I'm stupid)no need for a lesson, I'm pretty sure I know about brain more than you, since I work in that field and you are writing based on your sentation and not science xD. that's why I can tell you that the brain is perfectly developed at that age (and even before), the fact that some area are different it's something that occurs in every part of your life, even when you are old your brain areas change once again.
Thinking that you can define a relationship based on the age is really hilarious to me. It's PEEPLE over conventions. Always. I'm not trying to justify my country, Italy doesn't need that. I never went with someone more than 6 years older, and I wait till 26 to have sex, but it's common here to have huge age gap and have sex at 14. It depends from the person and we are not in poverty or mental for this.
Based on this reply alone I can GUARANTEE you do not know more about me on the brain LMAOOO. You’re right, I’m no brain expert. But the fact you just claimed that the brain can be perfectly developed before 25 is absolutely ridiculous to me. And yea I called you stupid because that’s all that’s coming out of your mouth, as you can see.
Obviously the brain develops as you age, everyone knows that. That’s why I’m saying a 17 year old is NEVER going to be as mature as a 26 year old (since you claim those two are perfectly fine age gaps to be dating).
If you’re a minor and you’re getting into the dating world, only 1 year age gaps are acceptable. 2 years if you’re being generous. This is because you experience the most changes in the brain during your preteen and teen years and I can literally confirm that myself. I would NEVER dream of dating anyone younger than me right now because I KNOW the way they think are vastly different from the way that I think, even though there could be as little as a 1-2 year age gap.
14 isn’t an age we’re you should have sex, you’re a child. Even in the US there would be stigma around that and for a REASON. I come from a third world country, not even in Europe. So I’m very surprised to see first hand that the standards there are so much higher than in a ‘prestigious’ country such as Italy…..
also, if you believe that someone being legal justifies older people coming after them that just says smth abt you and whoever the older person is. if someone who’s 28 wouldn’t date a 16/17 yr old but would date an 18 yr old that just means it’s only the law stopping them from dating a minor and not their morals
Y’all so she was 17 when she entered the university… but he was already going there when she came.. Anyone know their age gap?? If he was in his 20s that’s a red flag
