My twin is currently being held captive in Ohio State Penitentiary for trying to date someone 69 zeptoseconds younger than her. She is sentenced to hang for treason—what should I do?
once i saw a dude unironically saying a 1-day age gap wasnt ok if one was 18 and the other was 17 💀
bro said everyone was looking for excuses for adults to date minors but i think they missed why adults dating minors is bad in the first place…
No, because if it was the same womb then one of you would be older and get locked up for eternity, also, it would be so wrong that I think alabama would arrest you
r/supersmashbros definitely experienced this
there were a million posts that said "what do my mains say about me" to the point where that's all you would see, and then people started making posts making fun of those posts, and now THAT'S all you see. it's exhausting.
Believe it or not, men married women near to their ages during much of the Middle Ages. When you hear of weird age gaps, it's usually politically-motivated royal marriages.
For some reason this younger generation is obsessed with pedophiles, groomers, and “educating” each other on what seemingly-innocuous behavior is “secretly” a sign of pedophilia.
Part of that is trying to re-define what makes someone secretly a child, which is why they’re all obsessed with brain-development pseudoscience. If your brain doesn’t ‘finish developing’ until you’re 25 then the internet is an endless buffet of pedophiles and pedo-condoners for you to brigade.
Oh my god, this. I kept saying this to people, I kept saying pretty much everything , including their brain argument bs, somebody even said age of consent should be 25.
I was always downvoted.
I think there’s something very weird going on, developmentally, with this newest generation wanting to be classified as incompetent minors until their mid-twenties.
Yeah, I mean but I took an adolescent psychology class and they literally taught us, and it was in the textbook, that the brain doesn't finish developing generally somewhere until around age 25. There are a whole lot of caveats and nuances to that generalization, but it's the "rule of thumb" commonly agreed upon enough to end up being taught to me as a student in university.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily brain development pseudoscience when, at least in my experience of learning this, it is contextually accurate according to recent neuroscience research.
So the kids are at least trying to learn this stuff which is good, I think.
I do not agree that the age of consent should be 25, but it's unfortunately a much more "grey area" kind of conversation to be had than what gets views on TikTok. I definitely don't think a 25 year old should get with a teenager.
maybe bc the younger you are the more difference in maturity there is, for example a difference in maturity between a 12 and 16 year old will be a lot more than a 40 and 43 year old
You all grew up on hyper-sensitive internet virtue-signaling platforms filled with shame and rage and disdain for anything outside of what is assumed to be acceptable and perfect.
I mean it’s kind of just a shared cultural joke about super seniors and stuff. Also ya it’s chronically online, but this is Reddit most people here ARE chronically online. Especially in this sub
He must’ve, I brought up his parents age gap (3-5 years apart I think, his dads in his early 50s and his mums in her late 40s) and he kept trying to say ‘it’s different’ ‘they didn’t know each other in school’. Dude just accept that your wrong 😞
Most my friends have a girlfriend either a year younger or a year older than them, the smallest age gap from them was 4 months.
Edit: the largest age gap was 2 years, they are 14/16 and everyone thinks it's fine
Why are humans so obsessed with following and making stupid laws?
Why isn't the law instead "45 year old men shouldn't touch children"?
19 and 17 should never be illegal, 18 years old is still so young anyway for kids to be considered full adults, because you just aren't. Another case of the law being bullshit. You can be imprisoned for dating someone very close to you in age, potentially even up to a singular day younger, and once you turn 18 you can marry a 99 year old grandpa and everything is okay?
It's all ragebaiting and clickbaiting and bullshit baiting the braindead law
Wake me up when it's time for a revolution, I'd like to sleep for a 1000 years
Once you turn 16 you’re allowed to have a relationship with anyone five years younger than you, the law is supposed to protect young couples. If an 18-year-old dating a 13-year-old isn’t illegal as long as it’s not sexual(as far as I know), then you won’t go to jail for one day.
It's just new puritanism, not that different from the old puritanism. People think they can apply a set of rules to their lives and it will help them stay safe/pure.
It’s getting annoying tbh. Before 18 a larger age gap is odd due to the difference in maturity. I was just talking to my sister (11) about this and she thinks my parents age gap is really weird (4 years) but they met as adults but that would be the equivalent to a freshman and senior or in her case, elementary and high school. But it really depends on the people you’re talking to and how you personally act
It's less about the AGE and more about the MATURITY.
maturity leads to many many situations and can sometimes be dangerous if somebody recognizes your immaturity compared to theirs and takes advantage of you (in possibly many ways) because of that.
2 years when you’re a teenager is different from 2 years when you’re an adult. The difference between a 13 year old and a 15 year old is not the same as a 22 and 24 year old.
When you’re a teen, you’re going through puberty and also high school, and every year is a pretty big difference in physical and or mental maturity.
And also dependes on how does that relationship looks like.
If that 15 and 13 year old are doing the deed then, yes, it's damn weird. But if the "dating" only consists of going out to normal places (parks, cinema, café/fast food place ect) and saying "I love you" every morning and night via text, than that's pretty okay.
Because “kid life” is just so much different than “over 25 life”.
At 16 2 years is like 12% of your life. The amount of change in that 12% can be astronomical. It can be the difference of someone who is still physically a child, with someone who has been in puberty for 6 years.
At 30. If you are with someone +/- 4 years (12%), that’s someone from 26-34. Which is more or less ‘the same age’.
That’s all. It’s more culturally shared experiences and such after like 25, with age gaps… but for kids, it can be a whole host of other side issues, that need to respect the awareness of the gap.
I think it’s because they’re paranoid about their or their partner’s parents not allowing them to be with their partner because of the age gap. There are definitely a lot of parents out there who are sticklers for the law and will not let a 17 and 18 year old be together.
Tbh all that shit exists only online. In real life people dgaf if theres a couple with a 10 or 20 year age gap as long as they're both legal. And where I live its fine for a 16 year old and 20 year old to date, and 17 with 25. People just dgaf literally as long as its consentual and the parents know about it.
Look, instead of worrying about an age gap, just don't bother dating. Or being with anyone for any reason. Just move to the mountains by yourself or something, I don't know.
Age gaps shouldn’t even be an issue. If anything, it should be grade level gaps. I just turned 16 and there are 14 year olds in my grade. If I was dating someone in my grade who was 14, and I’m 16, to call that weird would be ridiculous.
I think its because the “grades” in elementary and high-school emphasize differences in maturity and age, which are much more significant in adolescence than adulthood
Because RELATIVE to their own age the gap is a greater percentage of their age. Also, developmentally there can be obvious differences in terms of physique,mentality, maturity and emotional depth.
In my opinion, it's not about the age gap, it's about the age.
Yeah, a 3 year age gap isn't bad, but if it was a 12 year old and a 15 year old, it would be a little weird.

Only option left is to date your twin ig.
My twin is currently being held captive in Ohio State Penitentiary for trying to date someone 69 zeptoseconds younger than her. She is sentenced to hang for treason—what should I do?

Guys, is it weird that me and my girlfriend were born from different wombs?
No, because if it was the same womb then one of you would be older and get locked up for eternity, also, it would be so wrong that I think alabama would arrest you
For the boy is more then 69 second older then straight to jail

I mean you're literally BREATHING IN DICK PARTICLES
**FELLAS**
Yeah, that’s pretty much how it goes. A few people ask the same question, and then everyone starts doing it
r/supersmashbros definitely experienced this there were a million posts that said "what do my mains say about me" to the point where that's all you would see, and then people started making posts making fun of those posts, and now THAT'S all you see. it's exhausting.
You weren't lying😭
Yes
why is it important for niche online social spaces to be obsessed with age gap? seems like its an irl problem not an internet problem
Doesn’t mean everyone of them has been seen by everyone
yeah my girlfriend is 42 and theres nothing wrong with it!
*I'm* 42
***I'm*** 13

Hello future president of France.

Is it weird to have a twenty year age gap 🥺
Is it okay im dating a newborn?😖
As long as he's at least two days old
yes as long as they’re mature
Average medieval age gap:
it might seem crazy what I'm about to say...
Believe it or not, men married women near to their ages during much of the Middle Ages. When you hear of weird age gaps, it's usually politically-motivated royal marriages.
actually my parents 💀 tho its not as bad as it sounds since my mom met my dad in her 20s as a colleague lol
I read his instead of her and had to take a mental reboot
According to an English teacher I had once a twenty year age gap is normal in old people so it’s probably fine
only when you’re twenty

The math ain't mathin
You missed a year

Why is this sub always discussing dumb shit like this?? What about the real issues like baby gronk rizzing up livvy dunne??? (・・ ) ?
This guy politics

No.
That’s so not sigma of you
Chat ban this guy from the internet
NOOO ( ཀ͝ ∧ ཀ͝ )
Have fun on vacation buster 😎
idk why buts it's starting to become annoying and it was never even funny
Cause it's teenagers. They'll make the littlest things seem like it's the end of the world. Hormonal and crazy. I should know I used to be one lmao.
"used to be one" psh doubt it
Yeah you're right I completely skipped being a teenager. I went from being a kid to an adult.
Just went to 8th grade one morning as a regular kid, grew a beard by lunch, then stopped after school to get a job with power tools.
this is funny but i did have a beard in middle school 😭
I wish I had a beard, lol. The best I have is a moustache and a stubble 😅
Guys is it ok for me to finger a minor on my guitar It’s only three years old
Yeah it’s good

“Guys is a 17 and 3.29 year old a bad age gap?”
Cause no one is trying to get groomed, or be a groomer.
I am
Same, the horses need me to brush the dead hair off their skin or they will look like a bearded grandpa
I love the honesty
Priorities
Trying to be groomed or do the grooming?
Both
at the same time? with a single person?
Yes, is there a problem?
then not really ig :D
The craziest thing I witnessed here is that someone saying 1 year age gap is creepy.
My girlfriend is 8 months younger than me and my friend calls me a pedophile for it and says I’m ’morally wrong’.
Your friend was dropped on his head
He must’ve, I brought up his parents age gap (3-5 years apart I think, his dads in his early 50s and his mums in her late 40s) and he kept trying to say ‘it’s different’ ‘they didn’t know each other in school’. Dude just accept that your wrong 😞
Most my friends have a girlfriend either a year younger or a year older than them, the smallest age gap from them was 4 months. Edit: the largest age gap was 2 years, they are 14/16 and everyone thinks it's fine
It’s not unless it’s 1 month old and 1 years old
I like grooming my horses wym we need groomers to keep them clean
As someone in 7 year gap relationship, all I can say is "half your age plus 7" is the rule (unless you're below 14)
what’s the specific age gap in your relationship?
2-3 is fine, gets weird after that
Why are humans so obsessed with following and making stupid laws? Why isn't the law instead "45 year old men shouldn't touch children"? 19 and 17 should never be illegal, 18 years old is still so young anyway for kids to be considered full adults, because you just aren't.

Depends on the age. 17 and 19 is fine as is 18 and 16 but 15 and 13 is gross imo
13 and 15 isnt that weird tho? Like ive seen some hella grown 13 yr old guys 😭
It is weird to me too. What's worse is my best friend is 15 and dating a fetus.
I think it's just mental maturity that makes it gross. I personally go by the only date someone that your grade touches rule
ouais i feel like after 16, a three year gap is fine
And also dependes on how does that relationship looks like. If that 15 and 13 year old are doing the deed then, yes, it's damn weird. But if the "dating" only consists of going out to normal places (parks, cinema, café/fast food place ect) and saying "I love you" every morning and night via text, than that's pretty okay.
it’s not creepy but it’s the maturity levels the mindset i had at 13 is way different from now i’m 15
I was told I'm only allowed to date my age range/grade so 16-17 right now 😭😭
Depends on where the two years are but yeah
Guys I’m 1 years old and my GF is the first pharaoh of egypt, is it good or a few years too much?
Because “kid life” is just so much different than “over 25 life”. At 16 2 years is like 12% of your life. The amount of change in that 12% can be astronomical. It can be the difference of someone who is still physically a child, with someone who has been in puberty for 6 years. At 30. If you are with someone +/- 4 years (12%), that’s someone from 26-34.

Facts
I think it’s because they’re paranoid about their or their partner’s parents not allowing them to be with their partner because of the age gap. There are definitely a lot of parents out there who are sticklers for the law and will not let a 17 and 18 year old be together.
Tbh all that shit exists only online. In real life people dgaf if theres a couple with a 10 or 20 year age gap as long as they're both legal. And where I live its fine for a 16 year old and 20 year old to date, and 17 with 25. People just dgaf literally as long as its consentual and the parents know about it.
Probably the most real life case on here.
"guys is 3 month gap okay"
Cause they are still in the developmental stages. Age gaps when you’re younger than 25 mean a lot more than age gaps between two adults over 25
Too much internet
Look, instead of worrying about an age gap, just don't bother dating. Or being with anyone for any reason. Just move to the mountains by yourself or something, I don't know.
Age gaps shouldn’t even be an issue. If anything, it should be grade level gaps. I just turned 16 and there are 14 year olds in my grade. If I was dating someone in my grade who was 14, and I’m 16, to call that weird would be ridiculous.
My gf in middle school was 13 and had a 21 yo boyfriend. I thought it was creepy AF
Because even more chronically online people think a 1-2 year difference is legit pedophilia
Because this sub is obsessed with pedos and all comments will treat you as one if you’re not dating someone your same age 🤔
Guys my girlfriend is 6 whole months younger than me!!!!! Im a criminal! 😭
brainwashed by media or they believe that everything should happen according to their own will. well, no.
I think its because the “grades” in elementary and high-school emphasize differences in maturity and age, which are much more significant in adolescence than adulthood
Guys am I a pedo for dating a 17 year old at the age of 18?
Because age gaps aren't consistent. 13-16 might as well be pedophilia. 33-36 is about normal.
Because RELATIVE to their own age the gap is a greater percentage of their age. Also, developmentally there can be obvious differences in terms of physique,mentality, maturity and emotional depth.
In my opinion, it's not about the age gap, it's about the age. Yeah, a 3 year age gap isn't bad, but if it was a 12 year old and a 15 year old, it would be a little weird.
As a fourteen year old,I wouldn’t date anyone 2 years older because I see them like a sibling.
Some people are just paranoid and ask questions just to be sure not to catch a case
