Nope. 18 isn't far removed from a child where as 30 is a veteran in the adult world. Social maturity is a huge gap from 18. They generally are still in high school, where someone around the age of thirty has been dealing with mortgages, bills, marriage, divorce, kids ect for over a decade. Plus, 18 year olds just physically look like children to me at this age(sex thing). An 18 year old and a 29 year old shouldn't have much in common(relationship thing). I find it manipulative and classless. If you have a lot in common that demonstrates lack of maturity for the older partner to me. Just a weird thing. I didn't think like this through most of my 20s, it's something I began to notice I have a problem with in the last two years or so. When I do go out I tend to stay away from clubs and place the younger crowds go, but even then, how many actual 18 year olds are you going to run into when you're looking to get laid? Not many in my experiences...sans the Army and Mexico
