Are people over 40 allowed to reply? Or is that too large of an age gap?

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

lol. 41 checking in. What are friends? I'm an introverted nerd. I hang out with computers.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

I'm surprised OP has moved on from 21-23 year olds

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

it says 25+ i would assume anyone older 25 can answer.

OP's post history is fascinating. You have to check out the modlogs of their deleted posts to get the full story. OP is obsessed with 21-23 year olds dating people over 30. They also seem very conflicted about their stance on it, sometimes defending those relationships and talking about their plans to write a story where the hero is dating an older person, other times saying it's wrong and asking why such relationships in fiction aren't called out as wrong, and saying heroes should stop it from happening

Oh, so OP got dumped for an older person and is fantasizing about getting a revenge older partner, and then whiplashing back to irrational hatred of the concept of a moderately age gapped relationship?

If this is the case, statistically, more likely OP is a dude than a gal.

Oh, and below this is another comment saying they're obssessing over a 25+ yo virgin being worthless.

... Uh, yep, yep, that also fits this scenario.

Oh man, this is that one? I went through their history a couple of days ago when they made one of their weird posts.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Some stuff seems to be missing from the modlogs, I distinctly remember a post about Reed Richards and Sue Storm and their age gap

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And then there is the obsession with virginity and being useless if you are one and over 25.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

And street racing

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You would assume that, but op has an obsession with virginity and the age gap in couples.

Whoa, you weren't joking
