    Reddit would be outraged about an 18 yo dating a 16 yo, though. Some people have really weird and unrealistic views on this

      That’s why I find reddit so strange. Age gaps is apparently the most demonic thing you can do. No matter if you’re 19 dating a 17 or 34 dating a 27 you’re a huge red flag either way.

        Yup, and the arguments are so weirdly self centered, too. “I went through so much when I started college, what would I talk about with someone in HIGH SCHOOL?” (19-17 gap) Dude, you started smoking pot and went to a few frat parties, it’s not that deep. Also are these people just always discussing life experiences for some reason? No shared interests, hobby groups, common acquaintances?

      Those Redditors are probably 16 year olds themselves upset that the girls they like are always going for 18 - 20 year olds
