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

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think you really can NOT have a power imbalance if the age gap is really big. If one partner is old enough to be the other person's biological parent, I find it creepy in almost all cases because you simply can't have a romantic partnership of true equals when one person has a literal lifetime more of experience in almost all aspects of life than the other one does. Now, imo it's a little different when both persons are well into adulthood because the experience gap is lessened when you have, say, a relationship between a 40 year old and a 60 year old versus a 20 year old and a 40 year old. The former could very well be two people who've both had a successful career and have well-established themselves as mature individuals with a good social and familial network and experience in romance/sex. The latter, you've got a kid barely out of high school who probably has 2 or 3 years in the workforce at most, paltry or no savings/income, may never have had a serious relationship before, and is still learning who they are as a person. They probably don't know a ton about the adult world yet, so the 40 year old could very easily (even unintentionally) manipulate them or groom them to be what they want the kid to be, not what the kid wants to be or should be if they had room to grow. I find it skeevy no matter the genders, but there is a slight increase in skeeve if it's a much older man with a much younger woman, because it's probably the most likely in that case out of the 4 "basic" gender combinations that the specific reason he's with her is so that he can use her as a combination of sex toy and trophy who will put up with it because she lacks the experience to know when she should walk away.
