I think the part we don’t interrogate enough is why someone with decades more life experience would consistently prefer people who have barely begun adulthood.
The age gap itself is less interesting to me than what the attraction to the gap is doing for you.
I’m 27 & I wouldn’t even date a 20 year old. There’s a HUGE difference in life experience, maturity, and where people are in life at those ages. So please don’t tell me “grown people are gonna do what they want to do,” because honestly, my eyebrow raises at you too😭 To me, it gives weird.
I’m not talking about anybody specific rn. I’m speaking generally. I personally could never see myself in my late 30s, 40s, or 50s pursuing somebody who is 20 or 21. What the fuck are you loving, learning, or connecting over with somebody that young? And let’s keep it a buck: some people would date even closer to 18 or 19 if “teen” wasn’t attached to the age.
Yes, they’re legally adults. But some things are legal and still not something I’ll pursue, nor something I want normalized around me. Just because the age makes something legal does not automatically make it morally correct to me. Period💯‼️

We give grace to everybody but celebrities.
Like your dad ain’t spoke to you in 6 months but Durand better be pleasant every time somebody meets him 😭
Let’s not spend too much time on Davey and Durand discourse when neither party confirmed or denied.
Truth is a lot of y’all come on here with your holier-than-thou hats on when I’ve met and experienced many of you and the energy hasn’t matched the X account. I won’t label y’all mean girls, but some of you changed based off your engagement increase, social media climb, attention, the car you drive and the job you work. Save it for the YMCA I don’t wanna hear it

Some of y’all met 5 mean gay people and decided the entire community is the problem. 😭
Baby that’s not discernment, that’s a sample size. Find your people.
What I find funny is y'all will shame gay men for not wanting to be part of the gay community but the community is mean and shady.
Who in their right mind sees that and wants to be part of it? Now they're self-hating, a few "phobics" and what not.
Y'all truly have to be kinder

That’s just my type” be doing a LOT of work when your type somehow follows every colorism, age and status hierarchy you grew up around. 😭

I think the conversation gets more interesting when we stop pretending ‘preference’ develops in a vacuum. Youth, proximity to whiteness and desirability politics can get braided together real quick.
And then somebody calls it a ‘type’ so nobody has to unpack anything. 😭
One thing I’ve noticed in the gay scene, especially on Twitter: let a boy be light skin, youthful & have that “fresh out the fountain of youth” look, & suddenly older Black men will move mountains, oceans, highways AND byways just to get to them😭
I’ve seen it happen way too many times over the years for it not to feel like a pattern. Something about it is… icky.

Open relationships aren’t ruining gay dating. A lack of communication, emotional literacy, and discernment is.
Monogamy just gives some of y’all fewer witnesses 🤲🏽
