Sometimes I wonder what these age gap relationships would feel like irl.
I'm in my mid-20s and I would probably become celibate rather than date an 18 year old. I don't really understand them and to them I'm practically a geriatric boomer.
When I was 25 I was dating a 37 year old, which isn't EXACTLY right. I don't think I'd feel comfortable in a relationship where someone is 12 years older and the other is like, less than 22 years old. But past that eh who cares
But my relationship was still a gap in generation, and it was pretty fine. To be fair, my whole thing is I'm into retro stuff so we were into the same pop culture stuff. It'd prolly be different if I were the older one dating a zoomer cause I don't give a single fuck about Tiktok lol,
But honestly I think people put too much emphasis on generations. Young Zoomers really aren't that much different than Older Millenials or anything. Past a certain point, age really is just a number, and anyone could be compatible with anyone. I have a friend who turned 18 last year, and she's into retro gaming just like me, isn't into Tiktok, has none of those "I don't undestand you" Zoomerisms some people might be geriatric boomers about.
Maybe I'm built different though. I'm 29 years old and I'm over here saying both "oh that's so radical" and "yo that's poggers" in the same conversation.
