I thought the same a while back when they showed the ages. Like not that its a bad thing (honestly they are legit fictionnal.characters whose story will.end before they get old anyway).
But it's still a little tiny tiny bit weird. Because if i was the uke, i dont think i could fall.for someome much older than me.
For me it’s not an issue unless there’s a vast difference in maturity. People like to act that age is just a number when it comes to love, but where someone is at life really does matter in what they would expect from a romantic partner. If you have a huge age gap but still have the same morals, expectations, goals, way of thinking that can significantly impact a relationship in way that an individual’s actual age shouldn’t matter.
For me, why age matters is because of physical appearance and death.
If someone js 15 older than me. Even if right now be looks hot, he willl most likely look old 15 years before me. He will lost his energy 15 years before me. He will die more or less 15 years before me.
If i was with a supernatural being that is 15 years older BUT he has 15 more years to live and our body will mature at more or less the same rate, then i'd be okay
I mean sure if someone is 15 years older than you theoretically they may die before you. However who is to say they won’t? Maybe you die first instead from cancer, a car crash, dying in your sleep, an aneurysm? I personally don’t think it’s an issue because we can die any point in time. Personally I do have an age cut off, but I’m not bias enough to automatically disregard a romantic partner just because for their age. But that’s just a preference. And you’re able to have your own too it’s no biggie, just be respectful to everyone.
i dated men 20yrs older than me, and enjoyed each seconds of it...so your point ?!
Children really trying to put age gap into adults dating scenes ''as wrong'', should really go back to basic BL content about High School boys...or have more life experience before talking about a matter they know absolutely nothing about !
I wouldn’t go as far as looking down on someone with this opinion. After all look how often we see age gap relationships that are a result of power imbalance, forced child marriages, exploitation, pedophilia,etc. I know this isn’t always the case but it’s honestly fair to question why an older and younger individual might start a relationship when they’re just as capable potential romantic partner closer in age, background, and lifestyle. That’s not to say all age gap relationships are bad nor should they not be accepted, but I do understand why some are uncomfortable with the idea. Like I said for me it comes down to maturity and just how much in common the individuals are. My parents are close to 20 years apart in age, I’ve been involved with people as old as my parents as well romantically/ sexually but I won’t begrudge someone if that is not something they’re accustomed to desire themselves. It’s just being respectful in other’s choices.
But I won't even consider them a romantic option. Thats my point. Because of the reason i mentionned above, i dont consider older people with a big age gap as a romantic option.
The same way gay men dont consider women as romantic option, because of the appearance.
You may say its shallow because my reason is 50% superficial. But you are quite the hypocrite if you yourself consider appearances, in any way (gender, weight, height, skin color, literally anything) when lookimg for a partner.
I was not looking down on anyone's opinion and I apologise if this is the way it came across. I have always tried to respect people's opinions and to my knowledge I have never once been hypocritical in the way that I have viewed either my friends or partners looks, age, gender, weight,etc.I agree that those people who suffers from such relationships as a result of a power imbalance should never be tolerated at all in this world and we should strive to stop any abuse of such. Again I apologise if my comment caused offence. However,With regards to this webtoon I think that they make an interesting and funny couple and that their misunderstandings are the reason we are all eagerly awaiting the next episode. I expect that it will all end when they get together, though I would love to see a new season with them settling into their relationship.
I didnt take it as an offence at all. But i'm not ashamed to admit that my romantic interest (before falling for someone, not during the relationship) is heavily influenced by outside appearance. And i believe that is the case for most people. Hence why i believs its wrong to call my opinions, towards age gaps and romance, shallow.
I'm just making my point, im not feeling attacked by you and im not attacking you either.
I actually do agree with what you said. Anybody should have the freedom to choose their partner, but at the same time, I feel like it would make me depressed with my partner being way older than me to the point where I probably will outlive him and be stuck alone :( with age gap, you run the risk of losing someone you love very much by having them pass away long before you and which would leave you alone. I would want to date/marry someone as close to my age as possible so that I won't suffer pre-existing heartbreak and be alone :(
No one gonna talk about how these two have a 15 yr age gap
