I'm a few years older than Evans and I cannot imagine getting into a long term relationship with someone that age. Are people in their mid-twenties attractive? Sure. Would I be up for a consensual fling? Maybe. But speaking for myself, I don't think I'd be able to relate to someone that young, and I'm not a particularly mature fuddy duddy or anything. It's just... 26 is very young, emotionally and in terms of experience. I don't think I was a full fledged adult who understood myself and other people until I was at least 30+, but when I was 26, I sure thought I did!

If I were a lot further along in my career AND I had way more money than them, I'd feel even more uncomfortable about the relationship imbalance. But then, I'm a woman. IME, men are far more comfortable with that type of imbalance. Some men even prefer it.

I'm not sure I understand the logic here. If you'd potentially be up for a fling with someone in their mid/late twenties, why not the potentiality for that fling to grow deeper over time? A lot of long-term relationships start with consensual no-strings-attached flings, so surely if you're potentially open to one, you must at least be able to fathom its evolution into the other, even just on a hypothetical level?

I did say "maybe" to the fling, because I'm already skeptical such a thing would work on a short term basis, for personal reasons. A longer relationship is not something I'd give great odds for, for the reasons I already stated. I'm not saying never, but it doesn't seem very likely to succeed, speaking for myself.

At age, close to Chris Evans's age let's say, I'm finally at a point in my life where I feel financially & emotionally stable enough that it wouldn't be a terrible idea for me to have kids, but biologically it would. If marrying someone in their late twenties who could have kids with me was a biological option I would probably at least seriously consider looking at people that age. That's almost certainly a large part of why men do tend to be more comfortable with it.

26 is so young, and I think a lot of people not up in their 40s or older don't get that. Hell I would have been super insulted if someone tried to tell me I was young or barely an adult at 26, but they would be right. The older I get the younger (emotionally, maturity, experience, etc) people in their 20s seem. One night stand? I guess maybe. But an actual relationship? No thank you.

Same. When I was 26, I'd have said I was ready and fully prepared for a relationship with a much older man. My crushes have often been on older men. But when I'm on the other side of that age gap, I think... big yikes. 20-somethings seem so young to me now, they're in a completely different place in their lives that's not childhood, but not the same level of adulthood as someone in their 40s.
