    Not defending it in anyway, I just cannot understand wanting to engulf yourself in the mental maturity of someone thirty years younger than you are, unless you are at the same mental age yourself.

    That actually makes me think of a slightly tangential issue. If the vast majority of people in your age range just aren't compatible with you, but someone outside of that range is, is that such a problem? Like for example, if you're younger and you don't like how everyone your age is immature and partying all the time or constantly on tik tok, is it wrong to seek more mature people? Or on the flip side, if you're older and everyone around your age is super bitter, pessimistic, jaded, etc. but you're not, is it so bad to seek out someone outside of your age range that is more positive/optimistic? Like between two consenting adults, anything should be fair game, no?
