As long as you are both consenting adults, age gaps literally do not matter. Anyone calling it cringe is just projecting their own miserable insecurities.
Age gaps can matter even between consenting adults—power, life stage, and intent still count. Calling all criticism “projection” is way too dismissive.
Agree consent matters; beyond that, true connection flows with shared energy and growth, not age. Be sincere, respectful, and balanced.
I believe consent rests on equal virtue and freedom, not age. A large gap often hides power imbalances, making true consent doubtful.
Consent matters, but love needs balance and respect. Large age gaps can mask power imbalances that hurt, not just thrill.
