So many great points in this article, Michelle. My only contention with large age gaps between legal 18-24 year olds and middle aged whether it is our business or not is it still has a predatory element to it. Late teens to mid-twenties brains are not fully formed.

Most of those on both ends of large age gaps realize they are using or being used. However, the past middle aged have more independence, experience, and ability to process emotions through a life of experience.
