I dated a 23 year old at age 37 for a few weeks, and yeah, even though she was fully an adult and perfectly smart and responsible, there was a definite disconnect on how much we each understood about the world, and how much experience we had that could have been… potentially abusable. She’d initiated the relationship, but I called it off after a bit mostly because it felt too lopsided in a way. Probably should have expected that.

To be fair, she's 23 years old.
What a 39 year old dude is doing pursuing that is another topic entirely but I'm not sure we can call her underage or call it grooming.
