Is it brain washing if a 31 yr old female dates a 23 yr old male?

Yeah Im pretty sure that's how MK Ultra mind control worked.

It would be a problem if you were 16-17 or freshly 18 because a lot of people take advantage of young people's naivete, but 23 is more than old enough to make that kind of decision.

It depends of course.

Thafs not even ten years apart. Get a life

No. It's normal.
It is however very very cute :)

It depends how mature the individual is, but probably not. 23 is an adult, albeit a young one.

My wife was 40 and I was 50 when we met, so a much larger difference in age than the one you cite, and she was a lot nearer to being a teen than I was.

Do you believe I must have used some Geriatric Jedi mind control skillz on her?

I grab em soon as they turn 18. They're fresh out the oven and hot and messy and don't understand their bodies yet. That's how this nigga rolls

Nope. Under the "half your age plus 7" rule, we have (31/2) + 7 = 22.5. This qualifies. Every cougar needs a cub.

"closer to teen than adult"

Uhh, no. A 23 year old is an adult man more than capable of thinking for himself.
