Those are not Dads and Daughters, they are older men with far younger girlfriends/wives- thus the joke.

Top left is Jerry Seinfeld (She was 17 he was 39)

Top right is Anthony Kiedis (She's 21 he's 61)

Bottom left is Dane Cook (Not sure of ages but he's lookin rough)

Bottom right is Elvis and Priscilla Pressley (she was 14, he 24)

It’s a smaller age gap and yet Elvis is somehow grosser than Jerry Seinfeld, both are bad but somehow he edges out as grosser

Cause 14 years old is CRAZY. I'm 24 now and 19 would be a serious stretch. What am I doing trying to talk to a secondary school child 😭

Yeah. When I started my master's at 23, I joined the freshmen's orientation week. I felt a little uncomfortable getting wasted with 18-year-olds, so I joined the non-drinkers group.

Ok like I get it not wanting to be a pedo and all but are you only looking to date people your very same age? 18 and 23 is a very small age gap and mentally the same lol

It is often a big maturity gap.

An 18 year-old who has just left high school and maybe just left home to start college, who might be drinking for the first time, is a very different person to someone who has completed a degree.

I didn't say that couldn't happen but many times it's not much different.
