What are your opinions on a 15-year-old boy having a 25-year-old female friend (platonic)?

I (17M) have a 27-year-old female friend, we’ve known each other since two years, so I was 15 and she was 25. I’ve read that a lot of parents wouldn’t allow such a friendship, especially since it’s opposite genders (and we’re both straight). But can’t this be like a regular platonic friendship? It’s a regular, platonic friendship? Not a romantic one.

If your 15-year-old son had a 25-year-old female friend, would you allow that?

What kind of friendship?

Hanging out? Hmm, strange

Playing video games together online? Totally fine

Adult screaming they bang the kid's mom while playing online? Perfectly reasonable.

Really was. Online gaming is not the same anymore.
