I recently moved in with my childhood best friends, among my friend groups while they are the least social I am probably the closest with them. I initially had my reservations but it was our only chance to live together and only way I could afford to move to a new city. Its honestly not going to great.
Neither live in the real world as in both have 0 ambitions or real world experiences and one skates by on his families money drifting from one hobby to the next.
I'm constantly getting in arguments with them about real world stuff I've actually experienced and one of which today was age gaps. One of my friends plates admitted she dated a late 20s guy when she was 18 and now my friend seems to have taken the opinon that this is bad going as far to say he couldnt be friends with anyone who would do that.
I was busy working so I didnt even have time to argue it, but my question is basically how do you deal with the constant age gap judging? It seems to be a hot topic nowadays. My other friend groups have all said it too.
I live near a huge college campus and a ton of the girls I meet are younger. Is it worth to have to constantly field questions and judgements from everyone. My parents actually have a large gap, but no one cared in their generation. Whats the best way to combat this?

Lions don't concern themselves with the musings of sheep.
I have always dated/fucked younger. I think my largest gap so far has been around 24 years. Yeah younger hot girls can be fun but for me after having enough of them and also knowing that based on what I saw going on in their personal life that an actual relationship with them would be a damn nightmare. From the young girls' perspectives they seem to like it because they want to know what it's like fucking an older man who's got experience to see what he can do. There will never be any shortage of young girls who are down to become your personal porn star in the bedroom if you are reasonably attractive, confident and know how to handle women.
Back to the topic though, an older man dating a younger woman is quite normal. Don't believe this nonsense that's being parroted around primarily first world countries. Women like a man who is confident, capable of leading, and knows how to handle things in life....worldly would be a good adjective to use. One piece of advice I would emphasize however is that while you are out having fun with the younger girls, make sure it does not cloud your ability to recognize a quality woman who would make a good girlfriend or even wife.

As you get older you rely more on your own judgment. This also means people's opinions tend to diversify more as they do the same thing.
The only thing you can do is embrace it. Ideally your friends learn to accept it and it becomes a quirky part of your character and establishes social proof (here's red_dead with another freshman har har har). Look at Leo DeCaprio, he never got me too'd he just gets clowned on a bit. All in the game

Judgments and opinions don't mean anything.
If you date a younger girl, and somebody disapproves, so what? What can they do about it except state their opinion?
They cannot force your relationship to end. So do whatever you want to do. Opinions can't stop you.
Once you realize this concept, and apply it to every situation in which people are opinionated, life becomes much easier.

It's almost like there's a reason the saying "don't move in with your best friend" is so wide spread.
"My flatmate is insecure because his girlfriend previously dated an older guy what do I do"
Why do you need to combat it? Don't brag about your sexual exploits. You don't need to tell your flat mates that your plate is 18. And if someone questions it, why do you need to defend it? It's just a shit test, coming from someone who you say has no ambition in life.

Just keep being you.
You don't need to leer, perv or be a creep about younger women ; but if you hit it off with a younger woman - you have both have similar interests, attraction - just go for it, and see what he says.
When did he say he couldn't be with a younger girl? Were women around, trying to impress? Or maybe in theory (I get what he's saying, many of them are immature, inexperienced in life etc). Judge him on his actions.
Honestly, go out and enjoy yourself. If he's got a problem, they're legal you are too, it's none of his business.

Let me tell you who is judging: guys who would like to get young puusy but they cant, and women who either hate other young women or they hate seeing men doing well.
Generally, just do your thing mate.

They weren't there to help you out with your dating life when you were in your 20s, therefore, what they say regarding your dating life now that you're older should carry no weight.

As a 29yo in undergrad; the vast majority of people I see (friends/otherwise) who try to clown me for hooking up with girls in their early twenties are the ones that in fact barely ever hook up with ANY girls much less girls in their own age range.
The ones that say it’s gross are a bunch of libtarded feminist white knight types. Pay em no mind.
That being said; yes you will experience a lot of girls that are put off by an older guy. This should be common sense but if a girl rejects you/doesn’t seem interested in you (whether it’s bc of age/looks/whatever the fuck) simply talk to the next hot chick. And the next until u get your balls drained. Rinse repeat.
