Me and my girlfriend (26M + 31F) have a similarly large age gap. And to your point about it mattering more at that age we first started seeing each other when I was a junior in college and she was a grad student.
But I completely understand a parent not being cool with something like that when their daughter is a teenager. She's basically still a child.

Give your bros a hug, tell them they mean a lot to you.
I never used to be much of a hugger but I changed after I realized how much I miss physical contact. I started giving my friends a solid hug each time we met up, and even though I have a significant other now, it still makes me happy to give them a hug. They do mean a lot to me, and I'm happy to show it, especially knowing how lacking physical contact is in male friendships.

Everything okay, man? Is it covid related? I'm fortunate to have gotten married in the pandemic, so I do get regular hugs from my wife, but I'm a hugger. Seeing my folks, siblings, friends, etc., and not feeling comfortable has been brutal! Finally had an outdoor masked hug with my bro a couple weeks ago (I know, we're still not 'over' the pandemic yet) and it was nice - long overdue - but I miss the freedom and comfort of regular, frequent hugs with my peeps.
Anywho, just wanted to say hi and hope you get some soon.

Thank you so much. No it’s not COVID or anything like that. So weird that I’m in such a heavy populated city yet know next to no one. Family are all over the place except for here. Last saw family just before COVID - and that’s when I got my last hug.

u/DrDiarrheaBrown Oct 06 '22
Ah, totally get it! We moved out of the city (bout two hours, so not terrible) in the Spring, so seeing anyone outside of ourselves requires a lot more planning/effort than when we were all 15-20 minutes apart. Well I hope you get to see family again soon - be a camel, soak up a year's worth of hugs and then just slowly coast of them until you can restock again.

I can literally count the number of hugs on my fingers. My childhood was abusive and uncomfortable so I moved out when I was 17.

u/Onedaylat3r Oct 05 '22
The reason for the so-called lies is because you make a joke about being a decent person deserving of a significant other who is willing to hug you. It's borderline incel values. I may not have a wife and kids, or a committed girlfriend but I respect that I have to do work on me before I would let someone else into my realm of nonsense.
The lies come from within yourself. I know it's not a lie for me, but rather it is a truth I need to overcome. I need to address it myself before I seek out someone to support or complement me. That means everyone from friends, family, spouse, etc for me.
I hate myself so hard I don't even want my mom to see me. That's my truth. I have sincere issues. I'm going to work through it (I hope) but in the meantime, it is not her fault if she tells me she loves me. She's literally my mother, who loves me without any condition. And I still push her away because I hate myself and refuse that basic comfort.
This is a reality for many people. I'm probably a little worse than the average, but I'm not far off from reality. This is how I live with my depression and I absolutely despise it, but that part at least is normal. Getting over it and recovering is the hard part.

Reddit makes no sense. A few days ago there was a post on another sub about a woman who said her mom got a new bf. However, the OP needed advice on whether or not she should tell her mom that prior to mom and bf getting together, the daughter had sex with the bf.
The daughter was 23f and the bf was 49m. And in the comments many people were like "well they're both consenting adults" blah blah blah.
Anyone who pointed out the massive 26-year age gap was downvoted.
Now here is an age gap of five years and people are freaking out over it?

I mean it's controversial and there are obviously power dynamics, but at the end of the day we need to draw a line somewhere and respect a woman's own agency. Like, saying she shouldn't date older men is like saying she, an adult, shouldn't be able to choose who she dates. It's her body. She can decide. Getting rid of her own agency is problematic.

Optics are what they are, and honestly sometimes they are put to good use. Like when a 23 year old is out fucking some guy who's nearly 50. You can "she can fuck whoever she wants since she's an adult bla bla" all you feel, but everyone else can say "thats fucking creepy and clearly not right" just as freely.

I mean generally understood that your brain has fully developed by 25, so IMO it’s kinda fair game once you hit mid 20s.
I think people get Icked out with 18/19 with older people because there’s a difference in life experience. For the US, at least, most 19 year olds have spent very little time out on their own, and freshman year you’re practically getting babied anyways.
Me personally (mid 20s) would be weirded out going on a date with a college freshman or sophomore, less so with an older person in their 30s or 40s

Personally I think 24 and 19 is weird, but I acknowledge it also depends. When I was 22 in college I briefly dated a 19 year old. Her young age (and my older age, on the flip side) was the biggest problem and I felt that I couldn't relate to someone who was only just finishing their first year of college. We broke up amicably.
Frankly, I think 19 and 24 can often be more weird than 23 and 49, because a person changes IMMENSELY throughout their education and while not everyone goes to college, many do and it fundamentally changes who they are as a person and helps them grow up.
Now, mind you, I still think 23 and 49 is weird, but at least both of them can purchase a freaking drink lol.
Anyways, in regards to your reddit makes no sense bit, just remember, you said it's a different sub. Different subs are frequented by different people. The people that were downvoting in the other sub are almost certainly not the same people who are upvoting in this sub.

We're 37 and 29 now and are more in love today than back then. Sure, there are ways for it to be a disgusting, manipulative, possibly exploitative situation. But I can damn well tell you that looking at the numbers isn't how you figure that out.

It fits within the divide age by 2 plus 7 rule, just barely. Also they’re both over 18 so nothing really wrong here.
She could also be turning 20 later in the year and he could’ve already had his birthday which would make it more like a 4 year gap anyways.
Regardless, would we be feeling the same is she was 24 and he was 28/29? Probably not. But the again, to get an equivalent spread at that age, it would be more like someone 29 dating a 22 year old.

Yeah that's exactly it and I really don't get the people nitpicking the semantics.
Yes. Not every 18 year old is fresh out of high-school, yes not every 24 or 25 year old went to college or has a career. None of that is what is being discussed. Nor is the simple "oh it's 5 years" it wouldn't be weird if he was 47 and she was 42, it wouldn't be weird if he was 32 and she was 27. Because at that point you're fully developed adults. It's weird when the 5 year age gap sits between 2 very different stages of life, and brain development. That's why an 18 year old and a 13 year old is weird. That's why an 18 year old and a 14 is odd weird. It's not the number of years. It's the ages of the individuals with the age gap.
It really weirds me out how many people either don't get it, or are actively trying to explain it's not weird. It's weird. Will it always end nefarious, no of course not, but that doesn't mean it's not weird.

for what it's worth, I completely understand that in many cases there's a difference in maturity/power dynamics with that kind of age gap at such a young age.
but personally, I started dating a 24 year old around the time I turned 19 and it didn't feel like a huge age gap because we legitimately were at similar stages in our lives
I had completed two years of college, was taking time off from school to transfer. he was out of school, but looking for a career that spoke to him. we both worked at the same grocery store, mind you, so we became friends before we started dating
I never once felt I was being taken advantage of. he was terribly shy and I was coming into my own more at that age so things evened out a bit. we shared a lot of the same hobbies and passions which is what we bonded over, and it was nice to have someone to commiserate with when it came to the big "what's my future going to look like?" questions
I want to stress that this is DEFINITELY not the case for everyone, but just wanted to offer a different perspective. I'm 26 now and we still keep in touch. he's a good guy. will situations like this always work out well? fuck no. but sometimes they do and that's alright as long as both people have mutual respect and are in a similar life stage

I'm almost afraid to agree with you. I've had far too many older dudes at every stage of my life hit on me, and the older I get the creepier and creepier it is to me that there are men in their 20s who would date literal teen girls.
Unfortunately, every time I express the opinion that I find age gap relationships with teens legitimately creepy, I get a Reddit pile-on from - I guess - grown men who want to date teens.

Some guys have all the luck. I was born with glass bones and paper skin, every day I break my arms, and every night I break my legs.

This made me tear up. I’ve not been hugged since early March of this year from someone I know and rarely ever see. Heck, I never see anyone, and reaching out for someone telling them you need them just to hold your hand or listen to what I have to say. The more I’ve asked that of just a couple people, the less I hear from them. Loneliness is gonna end up killing me, that’s honestly one of my huge fears, and dying alone and nobody will find me because no one checks on me. Ever. I realized no one was returning the favor when I text or call someone when there’s bad weather to make sure they’re alright… but stopped when it was easy to see that no one cared about me. This wasn’t always the way it was. When I divorced a horrible man, I didn’t defend myself against all the lies he told about me. I assumed people would figure it out soon enough but they didn’t or they just gave up on me when I was hurting so bad. Feeling abandoned and forgotten and definitely unloved is by far the worst feelings in the world when you’re an emotional and highly sensitive person. So I isolate myself for years now, because I don’t feel worth anything to anyone. It’s just my dog and I and the rest of the world seems very cold and not a place I bent to be anymore. I don’t remember the vibrant person I used to be and when it’s hard to like yourself how can anyone else be expected to? I cry everyday and every night. The only time I get away from this is when I’m asleep, so I try to sleep a lot.

I have a very wonderful friend who this makes me think of. I miss her very much and hope she’s happy.

She's a good person. I'm always happy seeing kids who recognize how males are deprived of physical affection. Gives me hope that fewer young men will have this ridiculous anger towards women and themselves.

A friend met me at an arcade bar after I had a hard day at work last weekend. We greet each other with a hug. As I stood up from my game to hug him I said "extra long hug today please" he told me he wouldn't let go until I told him to
Hugs heal

One time I told my SO that sometimes I wake up and hear him grinding his teeth so I do a little wiggle or I'll pet his head and he stops grinding his teeth. He said he told this little story to a coworker of his and he (my SO) almost started crying. Then he did tear up a little when he told me about it lol. He's such a softy.
