The guy in the picture is gross, but he almost has a point. Its not unusual to see a guy dating someone thats around 5 years younger than them, and its my speculation that that is because theyre mentally in the same space.
Though the lady has a bunch of valid points, if you have a specific age requirement and the job is largely measured in maturity, your best bet is going to be a woman. Theres also a weird duality here, where the most educated women i know are some of the best speakers and presenters i know. It leads me to believe that women are just better at presenting ideas. But also, the worst speakers and presenters i know are also women, but theyre older. Makes me think that women, despite being more naturally inclined to effective communicaiton, used to have that hampered, presumably due to lack of education due to patriarchy.
Basically, hell yeah women should largely be in charge under a political meritocracy at a given age. Dating women in a different mental stage than you, particularly younger, is gross.
The guy in the picture is absolutely not enamored with the emotional maturity of younger women. In fact, rather the opposite - he wants a woman so young that she doesn't have the experience and context to recognize him as a predator and a parasite.
age is just a number, right? /s barf
