This comment is going to be controversial as f*ck but you offered no tangible evidence to back up your statement. There's no way anyone saying things the way you did (if we take 5 50 year olds... etc) is being serious or knows what they're saying. I'm surprised this is near the top considering how generalized it is. Is that coming from your experience, a study or from the average post in this sub? Did you take into account that people use fake ages, a few people fake posts for attention or money and that you see only the problematic cases here? I've been lurking this sub for ages and the ratio of posts with big age gaps is smaller than of the ones where the op is in a similar age group with his/her significant other. I'm not saying assholes that look for young, yet adult girls to groom aren't a thing so I understand what you are trying to say. I'm saying you should stop generalizing all relationships with an age gap and deeming it a red flag every single time. I mean come on... There are pretty much red flags in her posts that you see in most infidelity tagged posts despite the age. You don't have to latch to the age difference each time (talking about most comments in such posts) and women dating much older guys shouldn't automatically expect them to be more mature, that being said. It's all in the personality and ethics of each person. You are only contributing in making these relationships more stigmatized than they already are. Those are not the averages. They are exceptions. You can't do 'statistics' like that otherwise you're getting biased results. And especially not from looking at this sub.

At this point it sounds like armchair psychologists giving advice. Better to just focus on the particular relationship instead of giving false information.
