It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

When I was 18 and in college I dated a 33 year old. I was fully aware of what I was doing and of the age gap. Don’t really see what’s so problematic about it
The problems not with you but with the older person who, it seems, would date a 15 yo if they could.
Source?
If you, at 35, will date an 18 yo, what’s stopping you from dating a 17 or 16 yo other than legality? You clearly already find people that age attractive.

16 yo are more like 18 yo than 26 yo or 35 yo.
So?

No, there’s a difference between a 19 and a 35 yo that does not exist between 27 and 35 but would also exist for 15 and 35.
But there's no difference between an 18 year old and a 15 year old?
There is from the pov of a 20 yo but not from the pov of a 35 yo
Why do you think that?

What flaw?

I didn’t say if you date someone who’s this age you’ll date everyone whose younger. Obviously someone who dates a 19 yo (while being 35) doesn’t automatically mean they’ll date a 12 year old.
