If you say so. Like I said, people mature at different ages. I was a mess until I was 30. To me the only arbitrary cut-off for ages that matters is the legal one. That’s in terms of how I feel about other couples. I personally (well… if I wasn’t married) wouldn’t date someone who’s 21 because we’d have nothing in common and I honestly find older women, like 30+, more attractive at my age. But I can’t begrudge EVERY couple that’s in that kind of relationship. I really don’t know the particulars of OP’s relationship. Until I know more I can’t say one way or the other whether it’s a good one or not.

Until a woman gets to about 24/25 she can have a tendency to fall in and out of love/lust at the flick of a switch.
I would say, do what you want to do and sod what anyone else thinks - it’s their problem, not yours.
Teens r better when they become age of consent
..?
Note: past tense.
I’ve had 20 year is age gap relationship too. Fine for fun, rarely is it a good long term situation. Even assuming everyone is mature and above board ethically, there is the reality of making babies and/or one person will die and the other is left alone for a while. Things to seriously consider. Also assuming it’s not just a horny player online. Regardless of country of origin. But Australia has a reputation haha.
If it’s just fun, who cares. 21 is an adult, you have the right to make good decisions and the right to make shitty one’s. Ideally, don’t make shitty one’s. I would think because you mentioned your family, you want serious, so my above 2 points should be thoroughly thought out. If you are taiwanese, also be VERY aware of YOUR maturity level in regards to how you can dictate your life with your family. Not just bexause you are young, but because culturally people here are quite immature and childish. Even into their retirement. Best to be honest from the get go rather than continuing the bullshit ego/fave game that is prevalent here. Most likely if this Aussie guy is serious about you, it will be hard for him to deal with a typical taiwnaese females’ immaturity in regards to parents and family life. The cultures are very different. If your parents judge and decide for you, you’re probably not ready for any kind of meaningful relationship…nevermind the age. And certainly not children. If you are able to stand up for yourself, be independent, not live with them, not take money, not give them money, and point out when they are wrong. You are probably able to handle an adult relationship 
Otherwise, like so many married couples here. Secret savings accounts, gossip, passive aggressive, jealousy, power structures, face saving, arguing, cheating, divorce etc etc. Life is too short to be so petty and immature. Get it right from the beginning and enjoy a very pleasant life. Also be uknest with that person and make sure he is mature enough to grasp it and agree. It’s a 2 way street.

Thank your
Right in the first part maybe still no on thr 35 year old knowing what is up
I am pretty sure a 35 year old know why he is going after a 21 year old. C’mon. We all been there just suppressing the desire because of age
It’s not only age— it’s the crap music they listen to and their limited knowledge of 80s pop culture.

Growing older does not make a fool automatically wise.
I have a friend younger than me, still in early 20s, who is much wiser and more eloquent than vast majority of middle aged people here in Taiwan.
Sometimes I’d even take advice from small kids, because even small kids can have good and useful insights from time to time. (Even though mostly not.)
Even though according to some members here, you need 30+ experience in anything to be able to even speak about it.

I can attest to the fact my 7 year old daughter is often smarter or at least more compassionate and thoughtful than me.

It’s none of anyone’s business who you date or the age difference. What you ask is not that uncommon.
No. Not a bad thing. Your business, no one else’s opinion matters.
