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?
