Context for the q: was browsing tiktok and saw a video while scrolling. it was about a 35 year old woman with a 25 year old boyfriend. Everyone in the comments said it's wrong and predatory, how 25 is basically a kid and 35 is middle aged, etc

But that imbalance has nothing to do with age a 25 years old person could have a lot more money than a 35 years old person and make the older person dependend on the younger person

    except- as I've already noted- that a 35 yo person is more likely to have an established career and financial stability in a way I wouldn't expect a 25 year old.

    again, context matters, but whether you want to admit it or not, the age gap is straddling major life milestones.
