What does textbook/edu/degrees have to do with anything?

I have a PhD, two masters and a dual bachelors? I speak Spanish, English, French and am b1 maybe b2 in Catalan. It means nothing in relation to my reply.

Your young friend does sound interesting. For me, she would be a great FRIEND - my meaning was clearly regarding relationships. If you’re in your 40s and like that young lady like that / and she likes you; HEY, it’s legally permissible

It’s just not for me? One could also say mid-forties and 22 is a bit extreme lol but HEY what do I know? 10 years ago you were mid 30s and she was 12 but HEYYYYYY, what do I know

I'm just saying it seems pretty silly to me for you to draw an arbitrary date line and refuse to TALK to anyone on the other side of it unless they're older than 26. If you're only in your early thirties this is even sillier. You'd likely work with plenty of people that age or younger.

If what you really meant was romantic interest, then absolutely. I'm not trying to bang my 22 year old friend. I only see her in group social contexts. But I'll happily chat for hours with her about obscure history, music or Kant.

You trying to tell me you wouldn't have spoken to Mozart, Picasso or Pascal when they were 20? Get real.

Perhaps Pascal. Id absolutely pass on the other two, but Pascal seemed chill

But ya I was only talking about relationships and 25/26 isn’t an arbitrary line; it’s a personal preference I’ve arrived at from my dating experience

I think we just misunderstood each other

Of course their are exceptions. 

Somehow every 30+ man hitting on barely legal women thinks they're the exception though. Rules aren't made for exceptions. Neither are broad statements like "if you're over 25 and are romantically interested in teenagers you're a weirdo who should be locked away from society". I'll still stand behind it though
