      That would be fine in Canada and other countries where age of consent is somewhat less abruptly defined. Teenagers have sex, usually with each other, and usually one turns 18 before the other.

      Yeah that’s nothing

      6 years is a big deal if you’re 18, but not if you’re 40

      And despite this rule, if both are over 30, who really gives a shit?

        I don’t and we 7 years apart I turn 44 in May she just turned 37. Some people make a big deal about it but I don’t care.

          My last relationship was with a woman 7 years older than me. My only problem (at first) was that she didn’t get my ninja turtles references :(

        it starts becoming a big deal when you hit 1000. Dating a 507 year old? Scandalous.

    My wife and I are within 2 months of each other. Honestly I can’t imagine being with someone with even a small age gap. And by that I mean even someone that graduated a different year as me. We get to talk about the same events happening at the same time in our lives.
