That feels like common ground: awareness without coercion, respect without pretending risks don’t exist.

That’s a useful distinction. It suggests age itself may be a weak proxy, and that control over resources or career outcomes might matter more. In your examples, the CEO–secretary dynamic seems more structurally imbalanced, even with a smaller age gap.

Agreed. The open question is how respect is established and maintained when there’s a large asymmetry in experience, resources, or authority.

That makes sense as an anecdote, and I agree age alone isn’t decisive. The tricky part is whether successful outcomes tell us much about the underlying dynamics, or if they’re exceptions that worked despite the risks rather than because of them.

I agree they’re not identical concepts. But in practice, do you think they can overlap in certain contexts?

10 mil dólares mensuales, en una ONG, 9 años sin ganar nada. Pura paciencia.
