Re: When do you judge age gaps in adult relationships?

I less side eye women going for younger people than men.

Re: When do you judge age gaps in adult relationships?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, but I do too and I think it's because the power imbalance which exists between men and women a lot of the time makes it so that younger man/older woman seems more equal than younger woman/older man, because the age + gender combo in the first doesn't add to the power imbalance the way the second does.

I think the part that really skeeves me out about older man/younger woman pairings, especially if the age gap is really big, is wondering if the increase of the already present power imbalance is the reason that he's interested in her.

I think my automatic assumption with older woman + younger person couples is that, since there is a societal attitude that older women are less desirable, the younger person must have initiated the relationship and retains their agency. With older man + younger person couples, I'm include to assume the older man went after the younger person, further subsuming the younger person's agency in the relationship (exception if the guy is really, really rich, and especially if he's really rich and near death - in that case the younger person definitely could have initiated the relationship).
