The age thing doesn't bother me since he's older than pretty much anyone on the planet. But a boss openly dating a subordinate should be an issue.

But in a way I almost understand why he would start dating in the 20s range. He's looking at who know how many hundreds to thousands of years more to his life. If you're looking for a partner, start the relationship early so then you have more time with them.

[u/ikarikh → u/raknor88]

Honestly, if you lived thousands of years, you'd have spent only the past 100 years or less dealing with age being a social stigma for dating.

On top of that, even if you started your thousand years off worrying about social stigma, by the time you're 1,000 you honestly wouldn't give a shit anymore because you've already been alive for hundreds of years before the person you're screwing was ever born. Why would you feel weird about a perceived 20-30 year age gap visually?

At his age, all he is honestly going to care about is screwing a hot person in their sexual prime.

Dating a 60 year old would still be just as weird as a 20 year old, considering he's still 900+ years older than both. So physical beauty and sexual peak would be the thing he cared about. Aka screwing 20 year olds.

Maturity is a big thing, people in their 20’s are usually still developing their brains

Honestly immortal is engaging in lowkey grooming behaviour here

[u/raknor88 → u/Cloudhwk]

What you're forgetting to take into account is that she is much more mature than a regular person of her age. She's a superhero that's been in many many fights the last few years and since her only super power is to clone herself her clones have a high dependency to die. So there's a decent chance that she feels herself die dozens of times throughout a fight. That sort of thing tends to mature someone real fast.

She's seen a lot of ugly shit and knows just what she's getting herslef into.

Dating a dude who can’t die screams PTSD

[u/[deleted] → u/Cloudhwk]

First you accused Immortal of grooming her.

Now she went for him because she has PTSD.

I wonder what you will say next to defend current day's stigma.

[u/Cloudhwk → u/[deleted]]

Both can be happening and truthful at once, it’s called nuance

[u/[deleted] → u/Cloudhwk]

Yes, they can. But you only mentioned one because your argument about the other didn't hold.
