I don’t believe it’s creepy for two consenting adults with a large age gap to date. If a 25 year old woman dates a 50 year old man, I don’t think it’s creepy. It’s none of my business. I don’t judge them.
A man who dates younger women is called “creepy.” A woman who dates younger men is called a cougar. Leonardo DiCaprio was judged harshly for dating a 19 year old woman. Most older women are not judged for dating younger men.
Sometimes it’s hard to find a partner of the same age. For example, if a man divorces at 50, it would be hard to find a 50 year old woman. He would have to date someone younger.
The double standard is that men get judged harshly. Society has to change it’s attitude.
It really depends. In general there are maturity gaps along with age gaps. 25 is still pretty young maturity wise. Which is fine if the other person is in thier 30’s. I couldn’t see myself being with anyone under 30 now that I’m in my 40’s.
But, to each thier own.
People don’t always get more mature with age.
There’s a big difference between being immature in your 20’s and being immature in your 50’s
Most people probably don’t get more mature past a certain age.
If that’s the story you’re going with.
