Agreed. And I’d argue the same for age gap romantic relationships. Yes, even for women. As long as everyone is legal I think it’s a net benefit.

Also, a 20yo vs. a 30yo is not a generational divide. However, this seems abso-fucking-lutely insane to me:

I was mentoring an intern at work when I was 42 and she was 21. We had tons in common. We liked the same music, books, had the same philosophy of life, were able in fact to discuss philosophy together. We had so so much more in common than the other people I worked with who were closer to my own age. Where does that insane belief just above come from? Admittedly, she was an unusual high-IQ high-curiosity individual, but I will never understand how it’s so easy to conclude that two people only separated by 10 years can have nothing in common. That doesn’t even pass the sniff test.
