Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 day agoRomeo and Juliet laws are fairly common. 24 states allow a 2 to 5 year age difference. AFAIK, federal law allows up to a 4-year age difference.

There’s gotta be some stricter “rules”. Because 19 dating 15 would be weeeeiiiiiird. It’s always iffy because the older you get. The larger the gap is acceptable. Like 25-10 is gross AF right. But 55-40 isn’t a huge deal.

Nobody’s downvoting your for saying 25 and 10 is gross, they’re downvoting you because you’re bringing up irrelevant nonsense. 19 and 15 is weird, but I’d rather see that 19 year old go free than make a 19 year old register as a sex offender because he slept with his 17 year old girlfriend.
The static age gap thing is an issue. 30-20 is way worse than even 55-35, despite that being twice the gap. Half your age plus seven solves that by making the socially acceptable age gap grow with age.
