the funny thing about age gap discourse is that when you're actually an adult in the world you realize you really cannot look at someone and automatically guess their age, because people just look how they look and because a twenty year age difference actually means nothing in terms of interests and humor and and and. when i was 25 i had a coworker who was an 82 year old man and i had better chemistry with him than most people in my life. not that i was trying to fuck the guy but i was in love with him! and he was in love with me! and it was great!!! recently after knowing her for two full years i found out one of my good friends is in her 40s and i had no clue. you can, will, and should meet and have all kinds of meaningful relationships with people of all ages!!! it's called living!!!
Okay so I mostly cosign this, but nothing highlights the differences a five year age gap can cause like discussing musical taste with my wife.
Granted, my tastes were heavily influenced by two Gen-X uncles 11 years my senior, but every time I mention a band my wife has never heard of, I desiccate slightly more toward dust.
