It's more than a little weird and creepy and can easily be predatory. I liked dating older men as a teen early 20s cus homeless prostitute and gold digging oldies got me abused less. I didnt really think anything of it until one of the dudes got this dumb happy look on his face and asked if I knew what day it was. It was Father's Day and he was elated that people might think we were father daughter. Looking back I looked like 12 and most of these dudes were pedos idk (I remember one getting angry as shit that I had pubes)
But yea power dynamic and adults are still kinda children until their ~mid 20s. I dont find an issue with a 30something and a 50something or older tho, I just dont really consider a 23 yr old an adult (and taking some university classes recently really reinforced that for me, like ffs these "adults" act like they're still in middle school and looking back I acted similarly)
