Age difference yap sesh

I don't understand how some couples have age differences which are like 12+ years and not be seen as weird 😭 This is no hate to them at all unless one of them were underage when they got together (Looking at nosferatu and Aaron Taylor Johnson) but I genuinely don't think I could ever be with someone who is that much older/younger than me. I think the max I'd aim for is someone 6-7 years older than me and maybe 2 years younger AT MOST. I think it's obvious which I prefer more lmao but I literally cannot imagine finding someone 2+ years younger than me attractive because it genuinely feels like a crime!!! Meanwhile SOME men have no issue se*ualizing women who are so much younger than them and even underage girls??? Make no mistake, I am calling out women too who somehow both infantilizes and se'xualizes young boys or men with youthful appearances. Maybe I just have a different type but I can never look at them as anything but as kids ☠️

Let me use examples. I am a K-Pop girly through and through!! Newgen groups (Ex: Hearts2Hearts, CORTIS, KiiiKiii) have members who are younger than me and I genuinely feel guilty for just thinking they're cute. Now let's not lie and say they don't have absolute BOPS but goddamn they're young 😭 One of my absolute favs are ILLIT and I have trouble seeing Wonhee and Iroha like anything but my little sisters, but I see younger fans often calling them hot and I just wanna str*ngle myself because omg they're literally my younger sisters. That's not to say I infantilize them because I DON'T!!! I don't think they're absolute babies but I'm somehow hyperaware that they're younger than me. I think Iroha is a super cool dancer and I'm constantly impressed by Wonhee's improvement since R U Next?

First time I remember experiencing this is when NewJeans debuted and I thought Hyein was the prettiest then immediately freaking out when I realized shes an '08 liner 😭 I think part of the reason why I think of them as kids first is because of my brother who is two years younger than me. Even though I realize hw will literally be eighteen this year, he's always gonna be my little brother first. As a result unfortunately, I give myself the ick when I admire someone younger than me 🥀 All in all, I understand these idols are not absolute babies and that this issue I have might just be a me thing ☠️

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!!
