I relate to this secret somewhat, but man, that last paragraph... cosigned.

I don't give a toss how much people side-eye the dynamic, old guys just tend to be fucking hot and I'll happily ship one with a younger girl since that's far more interesting than a perfectly age-balanced dilf/milf ship would be.

[(Anonymous)]

Irl it does tend to be inherently creepy, but in fic? Meh, whatever floats your boat.

"but, IME, most people supported YKINMK"
I don't think this is true and I think you're over-generalizing your specific fandom spaces a bit. I would actually posit that it's a much more accepted norm now than it was before, but that fandom spaces being more generally open has occluded that. The echo chamber might seem louder, because it's frankly much bigger, but there aren't actually as many voices, imo.

But anyway, there are plenty of fandoms where this trope is tried and true OP.

I think people side eyeing people's personal fantasies are weird. Personal fantasy is personal. Who cares what gets someone off as long as they aren't forcing it on anyone else?

Although I'm not as into this dynamic as I was when I was younger, and in fact am probably more into the older woman/younger man now (though more than anything my current dynamic is close in age), this was my favorite dynamic for a long time.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly? Hot take? Het couples with age gaps tend to get judged way too harshly as well. Old adults aren't inherently any more predatory than young adults are. It's mostly confirmation bias whenever said couples break up and outsiders immediately assume the age gap caused all the problems.

[(Anonymous)]

Now that I'm older, I enjoy both versions!!! I like the age difference and power imbalance. I like the older man/younger woman imbalance because there's something really sexy about a very assertive guy and NGL I enjoy the dumbification of the woman where she just goes with everything. IRL I don't want this at all but in fiction, it's so hot!! As for an older woman/younger man, I like both how the woman manipulates a young, naive guy and he whimpers and whines but loves the corruption as well as the sweet mommy setup where she is his protector and takes good care of a dumb but sweet boy.

[(Anonymous)]

As a teen I only had crushes on older men and was perfectly able to understand the imbalances in older/younger relationships without a stranger on the internet yelling at me about it. Fiction was a safe way to engage with the type of relationship that appealed to me, but that I didn't want in real life. I always felt pretty awkward about it tbh and I'm so glad I didn't have self-appointed moral guardians after me as well.

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoy an older woman/younger man relationship in media, but don't see it all that often. I don't mind older man/younger woman, though, but even if I disliked it, I wouldn't care if other people liked it.

[(Anonymous)]

I like you OP and I agree 100%. As for the kink in itself, I'm less into it these days, but it doesn't bother me either if one of my ship happen to fall into this dynamic. Like you said fantasy isn't reality and YKISNMKAIF. I'll add that people in fandom really need to learn how to mind their own fanbusiness in general. As long as nothing truly illegal is being done, bugger off and let other fans enjoy what they enjoy, dislike what they dislike.

[(Anonymous)]

As a teen, I definitely crushed on the older dudes who were like twenty something years old. As an adult, I crush on the silver foxes. ;D

For me nowadays, I tend to want age gaps to be reasonable in the fiction I absorb (like someone in their 30s dating someone in their 60s or whatever), but I got no guff on folks who go for the more risque parts of this fantasy. Like it's your private fantasy man, have fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I've always been a fan of older man/younger woman (and I've always liked older men IRL as well -- some of these men are fine as hell lol). I don't think I've ever seen an older woman/younger man relationship done in a way I like/or that didn't leave me feeling kinda...ehhh? Or eugh? I'm sure it's out there, so folks who enjoy it, continue to enjoy! I've even tried it out and started writing fic with an older woman/younger man, but it wasn't a terribly large gap (I doubt it was even ten years, really)

I think found family has gotten too big for its own good, because yeah, I totally agree, it seems common for recent found family stuff to be excessively aware of the family aspect and slot people into specific familial roles, and I don't love it.

Good things thread

[philstar22]

I'm super depressed and in a dark place. But when I got home today, my cat was waiting at the door for me, and was so excited to see me she jumped right into my arms. There is nothing quite like being loved by a kitty who thinks you coming home is the highlight of her day.

what good things are happening for you?
