Does Age Matter in a Relationship? | Cut

Would've been nice to hear from a couple where the woman is older. Another different perspective :)

[NatashaVincent]

You cannot "date" a person in their 20s when you're 14. If anyone is in this situation now, please talk to *ANOTHER, ACTUAL* trustworthy ADULT. Please. And stay safe.

[SaharaColeman]

42 vs 70. They’re the only couple that look years apart. Everyone else, you really wouldn’t be able to tell.

[amiravt]

14 years old and 22???
Baby you’re a victim😳

[freckles]

I don’t know how I feel about that girl saying she “dated” a person 8 years older than her when she was 14 so casually, bb that’s a pedophile

[Sofiacrazy]

Cut, you should do an episode of former teenagers who "dated" older men because as someone who lived that... It's not normal

[prinzessinmara]

Sadly there are a lot of sexist stereotypes in this video... All of the men saying they date younger women for the looks and implying (or actually saying) that older women lose worth (since looks are all a woman ist good for (Irony!!!!)) I would like a video with couples where the women are a lot older to see what their reasoning is.

[Evelyn-nzmp]

It’s honestly so sad to hear pretty much every man say they dated a younger woman based on physical appearance, and the women were fine with it. A partner should love you for you, not because your body is tighter than women their age. That’s so superficial, and if women can still genuinely love and be attracted to a wrinkly old man, why can’t it work the other way around? Why aren’t women still worthy of attraction when they age?

[anayamosby]

So we're not going to talk about the man who shamed the bodies of women who've given birth...?

[LegionIvory]

You guys are kind of dropping the ball with this one.

I'm fine with age gaps between consenting adults, but there was explicit mention of adults dating minors, and this video appears to condone it. That is rather alarming.

[littlemissyyy]

Why would someone 8 years older pursuing a 14 year old... what 😦

[pauline-]

no because the responses about men dating younger women were seriously disgusting

[virtue]

The answers around “why do men prefer younger women” are disturbing, especially from the black woman/middle aged man. His comments around women having kids and their bodies/the girl saying everything is tighter was gross. Also I feel bad for the 23 year old who got groomed at 14 just by her comments and body language. Plus the marriage thing with the 70/42 year old is sus, but all of this reflects real life I guess.

[mysros]

Grown men who date children shouldn't be glossed over and he should be actively ashamed of grooming a literal child.

[keenh]

Yeah... this one could've stayed in the vault.

[bryia.mitchell]

Older men age and appearance “lacks” just as much as older women. Smh I hate when some men act like that.

[violetpearify]

I feel like they should’ve addressed the 14 and 22 year old thing and the fact that that guy was 20 and she was 16 when they started dating

[Ceerads]

A three-year difference is nothing. That couple shouldn’t even have been here.

And, guess what, men? Women, too, often find young men’s bodies more attractive than older men’s bodies. But it’s not all about bodies.

[Victoria-dhvb]

Age absolutely matters, because any relationship started by an adult should be with another *consenting adult* (or adults, I'm not here to judge).


Let's not pretend that there isn't a world of difference between a 14 y/o and a 20 y/o dating vs a 24 y/o dating a 30 y/o. Age gaps matter *very much* when minors are involved, and not at all when all involved parties are adults. The younger the minor the more that gap matters, and most countries have legislation that align with that.

[freetheoppressed]

The comments by men in this are disgusting. Just because someone has a child, it doesn't make them any less desirable.
