As someone who was in a "relationship" with a 33 year old man when I was 13, a lot of predators behave like David. They will manipulate and love bomb you into enterting the relationship, and the swoop in with the false concern about your comfort and if you're really sure, so that you feel like it was all your decision and if you try to bring up your discomfort or your boundaries being violated in the future, they'll use your agreement in the past against you. It's coercion. It's emotional abuse. And it's specifically designed to make you look good to outsiders.

[@steffanvierirs2239]

I´m so sorry, and thanks for sharing.

[@hiddenmutant]

I was also groomed by a man 11 years older than me starting when I was 13. What stood out to me was the part where David says "I kept reminding her about our age gap over and over again" and it's supposed to be him "making sure she's still okay with it." What it felt like was the age gap being normalized within the relationship. Instead of not addressing it, it got addressed so much that it felt "normal." My abuser did the same thing, and eventually it became a joke of all things. "Oh haha, you're not THAT old," or "It's a good thing I'm so mature for my age!" I hope you have been able to find peace. I ended up taking my abuser to court, and was able to come to terms with things that way, by making publicly heinous what was privately heinous. He didn't get the sentence he deserved (despite tens of thousands of messages I had as evidence), but therapy has helped me move on.

I wasn't one bit mad at her about it. She did the damn thing. He, on the other hand, was not my favorite person in the world.

I agree with those who say that using that word for this waters down the true definition of pedophilia (which although it’s dictionary definition means an adult attracted to prepubescent children, I think that the cultural use is closer to “a person above 18 attracted to a person below 18”. I want to apologize and clarify that I believe this situation is extremely predatory as the power dynamics are completely shifted in favor of the man.

I’m Filipino and I moved here when I was 11. From parents that are also a White/Filipino age gap relationship. Seeing their dynamic was disgusting. I truly felt my mom was taken advantage of. This relationship is problematic that people question whether or not my husband and I are in the same kind of situation, even though we met in high school and are only 2 years apart. This dynamic is disgusting and predatory

[@qwandary]

My friend is Filipino and white mixed. His white dad is a POS who abused him and the mom, which made her lose custody of her kid. She tried to hard to get him back but the family home was unsafe due to the dad and he had no intention to get the son back. Because she's Christian and due to their culture, she feels divorce is not an option; if she tried she'd lose all her birth family and be completely isolated, so she's trapped trying to make it work with an asshole who took everything from her, even her own son. I feel so bad for them.

Your perspective on this is bang on.

She is a gold digger 😂 and he's a cradle robber, they are both voluntarily in this relationship and she can leave so I don't think it's any better that people in the comments here are calling him a monster and a predator. But yes, there's a problem with the fact that she's being demonized and the woman in these relationships ALWAYS is. But neither of them should be judged. This is a transaction, neither party is giving or receiving anything unfairly or against their will, and I don't know why people need to condemn either one of them.

[@frogg_tv4774]

my opinion: grooming isn’t just confined to an adult grooming a child. it can be an older child (say, 17?) and a younger child, an older adult grooming a young adult, but this situation doesn’t seem like it, but at the same time his actions were very groomer-esque and trafficker-esque. maybe those weren’t his intentions but it’s still icky, and still immoral. like cooper said, things don’t have to be illegal to be immoral

[@MBNB2393]

I used to be a big fan of age gap relationships. I was in one when I was much much younger, and that ended as horribly as you all could imagine. I’m 30 now and in another age gap relationship however, I have the hindsight I never saw before. When I was a lot younger, and much more naive I was tricked into believing that I was mature, and special, not like other girls, and had “such a good head on your shoulders”. I used to relish these compliments and truly believed them because they were from people far older than me. That’s the issue. That’s how easy it was for me to fall into it and be easy prey. I can watch this tiktok couple now, and as much as they claim to be in love and that “it’s real” I can’t help but see the similarities in what I used to say and how I used to act. I feel sorry that this is happening all the time, and that young women, children are being abused this way. My age gap relationship now is not as big as the previous one, and I hope I’m wise to the things I wasn’t before. I believe the only age gap relationships that can work are the ones where the couple are both older, considered actual adults, and both independent. Otherwise I’m afraid it ends up a lot like my first relationship, and this tiktok couple where it’s so obviously abuse and control.

[@qingxinn_]

It comes from a place of privilege to judge them for that. It's awful but they may not have had much of a choice.

And they know if things go well they'll never have to worry about their daughter not having everything she needs to survive ever again.

It was refreshing to watch you show support for her and not victim shame her for possibly marrying that old ass man so she could provide for her family. I have seen other videos where women from small villages end up in far worse situations while trying to make money to send home to their families. It was great that you touched upon that side of her why and why she might be sacrificing her youth to dote on that old man. And it was amusing to watch you react to their relationship too! I couldn't watch those two be intimate at all when you were showing it. I'm 37 and it was gross for me to watch them. My parents are only about 20 years older than me and their parents are about 20 years older than them! So, in some families, like mine, that guy would be grandpa status, not just dad status.

can we take a minute to appreciate how respectful cooper is no matter what hes reacting to

[@-ItsmeZero-]

“oh Christopher Robbin’s-“ HELP

[@mimido23]

This made me so sad, and to make me feel better I like to imagine after he dies, her sitting by a pool at a country club and an adoring boyfriend bringing her cocktails. I hope she sells that record collection and goes on a cruise.

[@thehousespouse]

I don’t think he’s rich enough for that scenario

[@skullfuctart8676]

The anonymous dating thing was such a huge red flag. I know they're both adults and I wish I could be happy for them, but she looks so depressed in half the clips that I'm having a hard time believing that she actually wants to be there. Uh, in conclusion, I don't like it and I hope she's actually happy and that I'm misreading the situation.

[@jessy1982]

The amount of times her eyes fidget and she seems anxiously careful about her words when talking is worrying to me.

[@bobapearlnayeon]

@@jessy1982I saw that too, she looked really uneasy

[@bear9295]

She really looks miserable

[@herpaderp-bp4pe]

​@@bear9295shit we all would be miserable. No money could make any woman happy with a raisin.😮

[@buffer_brain1917]

I was in a relationship like this (16 & 32) for 3 years. Part of what lead me into this relationship so young was that it didn’t feel like I was talking to a 30 year old, it felt like I was talking to a 16 year old. Issue was, as I got older and more developed and mature, he stayed 16. I was 19 years old, and it felt like I was dating a 16 year old and I got so fed up that I left. Women his age dont want him because he had the emotional maturity of a 20 year old. She’s going to get older, he’s not.

[@mferreiraluiza]

Relationships with _some_ age gap can even be healthy (entirely not this case), the problem is the normalisation of it. As Cooper said, it most certainly comes with power dynamics, exploitation of the younger part, usually the woman, and as we often see it can lead to so many psychological problems afterwards

[@ellielou52]

I think if they're both over 30 and less than 20 years apart, ya whatever it COULD be healthy. As someone who dated a 28 year old when I was 18, I can personally attest to how unequal, abusive and manipulative that relationship was, and some of that was just built in even if he didn't go out of his way to be awful because of the age gap and the difference in life experience, previous relationship baggage, and just the KNOWLEDGE of the age gap itself. Oh and the way other ppl treated us and our relationship.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

It’s healthy when it’s between EQUALS, not when it’s like this!! A 30 year old can healthily be with a 45 year old, while a teenager absolutely can not be. The proportion of the age gap is of imperative importance.

[@H3len50]

I am 51 and just found your channel this week, laughed my ass of a lot since Monday. Thank you so much for that. This relationship is weird to me and I can see she may have only done this to support her own family back home but it is still creepy to me.

[@greenbeansnthings]

I was a sugar baby for a few months when I was 20 and it’s really common on sugar baby dating sites/apps that the women have pictures and the men don’t have to share any pictures. They just have their job and their net-worth lmao. I no longer do any of that stuff but I only ever had one SD. At the time I could see myself marrying him tbh. In my defense, he was only 38 and in GREAT shape and treated me with a lot of respect given the circumstances. Been out of it for a few years now and I was just so miserable in my life that it did feel like he could be good to me when no one else would. So glad life isn’t like that for me anymore and I respect women surviving

[@ellielou52]

Word, I was a stripper for a couple years and had similar experiences although they were much much older, like the guy in the video. I too am so happy that I'm out of that lifestyle and am working on myself, 5 years actually that I've been out and single!

[@Sagefrakrobatik]

Why did you decide to become a sugar baby if you don't mind me asking? By the way my sister was a sex worker we would get in arguments all the time over it and would brag about how much money she was making.

[@greenbeansnthings]

@@Sagefrakrobatik I don’t mind lol the specific thing that made me like actually go through w it was that I had really really liked this guy. he loved bombed me and then just ghosted me after we spent like 3 days straight together. I was really hurt and pissed off that this kind of thing kept happening to me. I thought, if I was going to keep being used to bolster some man’s ego then I should at least get something out of it. Plus, I have borderline personality disorder (in treatments, getting better) and I felt abandoned so it was nice that this man wanted me, specifically, in his life that much. It was a little reckless of a behavior but it felt somehow emotionally safe. I liked having someone that at the very least was consistent. Then when i was able to move out on my own, the money became more important to me. It was nice having spending money, being able to not just survive but treat myself a little. It was the sense of security it gave me, emotionally and financially. I really only did it for about 6 months before it stopped and I got an income tax job and a real boyfriend. Though, I don’t really regret it, the man I was seeing was actually really respectful. He let me take things in my own time and spoke to me as an intellectual equal

[@Sagefrakrobatik]

@@greenbeansnthings the thing is I'm 38 as well, and i cold approach women as much as I can. If she rejects me that's fine. But I'm not gonna miss an opportunity simply because she looks like she is in her 20s. I've approached two women that were both 18, when they told me I said thanks and moved on. It's hard enough getting confident to approach women in the first place. Age isn't important for me. The last woman I dated was 46.

[@violet7773]

​@@Sagefrakrobatik please stop "cold-approaching" women, especially women you think are in their early 20s if you're 38. Women do not exist in the world in order to be picked up by you, they are going about their lives. It's annoying at best and actually scary at worst.

[@bonyeni]

This man literally sounds like my deceased grandfather Also, I think it’s really worth exploring how people online tend to also blame the young person in these relationships, demonstrating a lack of understanding for the fundamental reason why age gaps are problematic

[@yaymagien]

It's been 10 months and literally nobody said sorry for your loss.

[@stev6963]

24:02 every time he did this I laughed so hard lmfao. Also, Cooper is such a king of a man. He’s also extremely cute. It had to be said.

[@MusiciansRule07]

Rule of Thumb: if someone significantly older than you takes a romantic interest in you, even if you are of legal age, RUN AWAY. Ask yourself why they can't connect with someone their own age and RUN AWAY. I know that healthy age gap relationships can happen but 9 times out of 10, they're not healthy at all.

[@danhumphrey8357]

I agree. A person is more likely to have more in common with their age range, so why can’t they pull? I’ve never seen an authentic large age gap, and I will firmly stand on being a hating btch when it comes to them.

[@fentina]

I mean, there's meeting someone with a significant age gap naturally, through work or clubs etc But anything else (dating app, meeting at a youth hang out etc) means they specifically looked for someone that age. That's a red flag. (Also, obviously there's a difference between a 20 + 40 year old dating and a 40 + 60 year old dating)

[@SieMiezekatze]

I would add that : if you are in school and they are an adult / divorced or completely established with their life then they 100% want to control you , and are only looking to date you cause you are young (they chose you solely for that and that alone)

[@jessicatgrowl7614]

I’m 37 and met a guy in his 50s a couple years ago that I was into, until he told me he was arrested for getting involved with an 18 year old because he worked at the high school she went to when he was 45. So gross. In my state, if you work in an academic setting, you’re not allowed to be romantically involved with anyone under 22, I believe it is.

[@bored.already]

i think people dave’s age are already dead 💀 or retired with their own families and grandchildren. i can hardly imagine being a grandma and still having time for some creep like that

[@Ikeabedroomset]

Something I want to point out that my boyfriend shared with me is that in the Philippines Starbucks is considered a luxury…so…yeah..adds to why she went there😭😭 these girls are just getting taken advantage of. Also for those people feeling bad for her family, they probably pushed her to go with him. My boyfriends family is Filipino and a lot of my friends are Filipino. I personally worked with a coworker who is Filipino and got sold to a white man she didn’t love by her family…this is more common than you think and this is their reality

[@Tree-House69]

I'm in the US in the south and we consider Starbucks a fair bit of a luxury though lol A better gage for how impoverished they are, when considering we have severe poverty in the US, is that even 100USD would make all the difference for most families there, whereas here it's only some groceries or a tank of gas.

[@Travel_with_Gigi]

If David is already retired, why could he not move to the Philippines to be with her? Instead of having her move across the world

[@Luvandrockettes]

I don’t think an old white american men would survive in the Philippines, they always say america is better than any part of the world 🥴

[@wezangola8226]

He wants to isolate her 😢

[@pleurnicharde]

I kept getting that same creepy feeling about that, she clearly loves and misses her family and he should know after going to the Phillipines that family involvement is a huge part of our culture 💔

[@mcwjes]

The Philippines are beautiful. Anybody would want to retire there. He's up to no good.

[@HW-sw5gb]

She makes more money working in the US, but they’d have tons of money to give to her family if they sold his house
