See, that’s the thing about people being grown-ass adults. They get to decide what does and doesn’t work for them.
And, despite people that want to knee jerk the matter, there’s less difference between those two ages than there is between a 21 and 25 year old.
Personal development is heavily front loaded. By the mid to late twenties, most people are who they’ll always be. Friendship, romance, whatever. The only real barrier to age gaps are cultural touchstones and a handful of probable experiences (like job stuff, kids, etc) that aren’t even guaranteed to not be present.
Folks just get all het up over it because they’re morons that can’t look outside of themselves long enough to realize that their motivations and concepts towards other people aren’t actually universal.
Two consenting adults are just fine, and nobody else has an opinion that matters about them
None of my fucking business.

Yeah, when I was 23 I had to break up with my 18yo girlfriend after less than a month.
At first it was like, “hell yeah, 18yo tail,” but it very quickly became, “holy shit, this is wrong; she’s still a child.”
