Meanwhile the same colonisers [didn't respect said human rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_genocide) and had no problems killing the population of their colonies. The instability we see in large swathes of Africa today is precisely due to the damage caused to them while colonised. Haiti (not Africa) literally had to pay France until 1947 because they got independence which fucking crippled their economy. Colonisation did far more damage than it did good.

Never said Africa wasn't guilty of colonisation. Don't know why you're saying shit I didn't ever say. Puerto Rico isn't a colony. They get treated like US citizens and get the same rights as them. Not to mention, The majority of Puerto Ricans do not desire independence which is a strong contrast to Africa and Asia's colonisation by Europe. The most Puerto Ricans want is statehood. Yes, the former colonies would've been richer had they not been colonised. Britain stole billions, maybe even trillions from India alone, let alone their other colonies. Or do you really think they weren't extracting any value and resources out of them?

Hobbies I've shared with people 20 years older and younger include fishing, D & D, video games, hiking, cooking, flying, woodworking, and martial arts. I've also shared interest in pieces of media with people of vastly different ages, books, movies, and TV are fun to talk about. When I was young and Breaking Bad was coming out I loved geeking out about it every week with this guy from work who was 55.

Hobbies are usually a requirement for friendship. Not necesirally a relationship. You don't need a romanric relationship to enjoy a hobby with someon The majority of 19 year old women don't fish, olat dnd, hike, fly, do material arts or woodwork. And good luck trying to watch -or god forbid read- the same slop they watch.

You asked for some shared interests and hobbies 19 year olds and 32 year olds share, I provided some. I'm not really tuned into the dating market, I've been with the same partner for a long time, I don't really know what people want in dating right now, just answering that part of your question -- for what it's worth the only hobby I listed I haven't done with women is woodworking, if you seek out people who like hobbies you unsurprisingly find a lot of them. I've watched shows and read books recommended by zoomer friends, some of the stuff they're into these days is quite good!

I mean if you're asking for interests groups have in common *on average* that's pretty useless for forming friendships or relationships, those are about the individuals involved, not demographics.

Based on your description, what hobbies would a 30 year old man and woman even have in common with each other? Most hobbies are skewed more by gender than by age so if you need to have a ton in common, the real issue is being straight rather than the age gap.

Reply

theyeshman@reddit

I'd imagine on average it's not any one specific hobby or interest, because on average people don't share any one specific hobby or interest. I'd guess it's a different set for each relationship, and far more than "squat" or one broad sedentary hobby, I don't know anyone relationships with that little in common. Maybe I'm living in a weird bubble society or something, but people tend to have things in common when they date.

We Greeks even have terms for them btw (καγκουρας, φασαρία, σλατινα, ετκ) because of how common these characteristics are. Which are terms used and created by teenagers.

I mean not to sound a certain way this does remove the agency of people we consider adults to do the things people should have a choice in. Like yeah this is a slippery conversation but like at what time do we allow people to live their own lives and not live under the rule of what most people think is ok or not? Like what if most of the people agree with something that you wouldn't agree with. Would you want it enforced? I Think this is one of those "not my clown not my circus" kinda deals. Like when does the age gap also stop mattering? Like what if the people were 50 and 65. Are we going to say their relationship is wrong due to an age gap? These are real questions that no one can agree upon. I think it's just best if people just go "I am not putting my dick in either of these people and their sex life is not mine and I know nothing of their relationship." It's just one of those societal hang ups we all go through. Another thing is what if the experience gap was the 40 year old is a virgin and has dated no one and the 18 year old has had a ton of sex and dated many people. Another thing to take into account is what if they have a ton in common personally and likes wise. Like if they both like Disney movies, and the same music, and wrestling, and have a common hobby interest while also wanting the same thing out of life? Relationships are just hard in general. Either way just trying to engage in conversation on a message board. Not trying to sound antagonistic.

You would think that but [https://versustexas.com/blog/age-of-consent-by-state/](https://versustexas.com/blog/age-of-consent-by-state/) according to this website half the states are 16. Why do I know this? I like to do a little bit of trolling with sensitive subjects to my friends because they're my friends and messing with my friends is just what I do cause it be who I am. (also it is super important to know this shit. You never know what will happen so safety is always important.) That in mind the conversation still comes up of what the correct age is cause yes age of consent is important and should be followed but to know I can just cross a state line and skirt that number by a year is fucking strange and insane. We should have a consistent age of consent. The problem is that people do not agree what is and is not the correct age because a year is not a large difference of time for most people. 5 is a decent amount of time and 10 is even larger. People can change in 5 years time. It's one of the reasons some marriages end in the first 5 years and a quarter or so in the first 10. People do not expect that change. Also another point of observation is that not everyone ages mentally the same way. Some people are just so fucking stupid and childish. I know many people in my family alone that should not be having kids and are just blasting out demon spawn like its a fucking hobby. Hell, I don't think my mom should have had kids. Some people stop aging mentally. Which is why the discussion of age is such a tricky conversation for some people. Another thing is people have hang ups about what is and is not ok. Not everyone agrees which age is fine because of what they think is and is not right while we have a hard time s a society agreeing what is and is not acceptable. Especially when taboos to some are not the same as others. I think that if a person is old enough to be sent to war and get murdered in battle they have the right to make adult decisions. Same with them being allowed to drink and smoke. That means they have the right to make those decisions in any way they want.

Yes lmao 9/10 19 year old girls only talk about vapid Netflix dramas, dumb shit regarding Twitter, drama and news about celebrities, skin care and gossip. 9/10 19 year old girls only talk about looksmaxxing, tits, female friends, working out, rappers/celebrities, making money and anime.

Getting downvoted by a bunch of teenagers who don't realise how much you grow up in your 20's and 30's. The difference between a 10 and 20 year old is the same gap as a 20-30 year old. While it might legally be okay, I'd seriously question the power dynamic of a full grown adult guy dating a teenager

I'd say there's much more maturation from 10 to 20 than 20 to 30 so it's not exactly the same thing, but I get your point

I'm not incapable of socializing with them, but tbh I look at 19 year olds more as children then adults. Their early 20's are still the awkward phase of figuring their life out too. More then likely a 19 year old and a 30+ year old or going to have very different hobbies, tastes and experiences. I just don't think it would work out.

astrofury@reddit

yeah i highly doubt it would work out. my main point is this infantilizing view most people seem to get as they age. I understand viewing a 19 year old as inexperienced and maybe a bit of a shit head but thats still a grown ass man/woman and they should both act like it and be treated like it. idk i experienced it a lot growing up and its always rubbed me the wrong way.

Disregarding the rest of the comment except for the "what would they talk about". And I can't speak from a romantic point of view specifically. But like, I've had plenty of engaging conversations with people from a different generation. You'd be surprised how many interests can be shared by two people despite a decent age difference. Hell, a good sign of friendship is being willing to engage and bond over stuff that isn't a mutual interest.

It’s funny how that age thing changes as you’re older. I work in medicine and without too much details I had two patients with the same last name on my schedule, but a THIRTY ONE (31) year age gap and assumed parent/child. I’m a dad and that’s the gap between myself and my daughter and the thought of being my age and thinking “ah yes I want someone born today” is just wild to me. They seemed happy but like ew.

Its not even weird, boil it right down and its just 'unlikely to work' so it doesnt happen that often. Millenials etc have impressed on Gen Z to be careful, sometimes older partners will mistreat or not respect younger ones. Gen Z have responded by taking this to the extreme, and now a 19 year old woman dating a 21 year man is 100% being abused. I bet you anything in 10 years Gen Alpha rebels against this because its fucking stupid binary thinking and start fucking your grandparents.

Not a pedophile for sure, I will let consenting adults do what they please, but I do find it a bit off putting. The rule of thumb I always heard was 1/2 your age + 7. So 30/2+7 = 22 A 30 yo dating 21 or younger seems a bit wierd to me, but 100% legal.

Heres how that idea is disseminated: - middle age women recognizing that their bodies are in decline and their biological clock are threatened by younger women - as a result, they remark to their partners or any man who will listen about how age gap relationships as creepy/perverse - their partners repeat the point and act like they’d never fuck a college girl in order to score merit points with the women their own age.

It's actually: \- Young, early 20s women who are disgusted at the idea of weird old creeps hitting on them (myself included). \- Fathers with young daughters, who are disgusted at the idea of weird old creeps hitting on them. \- Older, middle-aged women, who remember being disgusted at the idea of weird old men hitting on them. \- Young men, who don't like the competition. The only detractors are the weird old creeps who are still loveless and unmarried at 36+, prompting them to get addicted to online redpill content.

Classic dumbass Reddit take. My point is that the entire idea of age gap relationships being perverted is a narrative created by women and perpetuated by their male friends or spouses. It has nothing to do with any concern for the younger woman and everything to do with older women’s insecurities. If you don’t believe me, wait until your one of your male friends is 40 and starts dating a 30 year old. His friends with 40 somethjng wives will have some thoughts on that, I assure you lol

I think fucking and settling down are two very different things here tbh. But in general, be it men or women, having a huge 20+ something age gap isn’t ideal if you want a relationship just by looking at divorce rates (the closer two people are in age, the less likely divorce is, even if the chances are still high, they’re lower than if you didn’t take that into account). If you just wanna have sex then it doesn’t matter as much, but a sexual partner you shag regularly IS a type of relationship.

25 is about right, though. Because according to science, that's when the prefrontal cortex finishes growing. Which leads to a more balanced and calm way of thinking. Before that, one is more inclined to let one's emotions lead. Now that isn't to say that people after 25 can't also make emotional choices. But it is less likely. Hence, I consider adulthood to start at that age.

That study you're referencing is not accurate as 25 is when they stop the study (and ran out of funding) and not when the brain stopped developing its more accurate to say the brain never stops developing

Something growing and developing are two different things, you know. 25 is when the prefrontal cortex finishes growing. Development of the brain obviously doesn't stop then. You would know that if you had actually read said study. Because they very clearly stated that in the paper.

I’m not seeing anyone I can’t have an engaging conversation with over a couple of drinks Within that criteria, I’d have sex with anyone that didn’t pose an immediate threat of harm and who I found attractive Within *that* criteria, I’d date anyone with compatible personal philosophies and who is in a similar or otherwise compatible place in life as me the implication is that this person would feel for me the same as I do for them I think it’s practically impossible for a late teenager to meet an adult at these criteria, whether or not it’s illegal or considered grooming for the two to be together setting a specific age is necessary on principle, but also feels so pointless when, like, *why would you want to?*

What I hate most about this infantilization culture is that I was genuinely surprised when I was 18 and got told I was a full grown adult, because I still saw myself as a kid. I got slapped hard in the face by real life consequences that I hadn't been prepared for. And that mentality of seeing myself as a kid put me far behind my peers that were more mature at 16 than I was at 22. Teenagers are supposed to be pushed and prepared for adulthood. Not told they're still kids all the way up through their college years.

Your brain never stops developing, the study that claimed that simply just had 25 year olds as their highest age group so they assumed that that was the age that your brain would fully finish developing when truth is your brain develops your entire life. Sure, the frontal lobe finishes a lot of primary development at 25, but what I just said applies to your brain as a whole for your entire life.

The legal age being a hard line has some issues related to pedophilia accusations and social norms, but it exists as a hard line at 18 for a reason. Anyone over 18, regardless of how they look or their maturity level, is legally considered an adult. You could argue that they still act like children, they may still look like children, but that line acts more like a discrete reference point than anything, since legally they are no longer children. Meaning, OOP's argument is stupid, women are women at 18 full stop. The responder is questionable.
