This is the logic used by IT and others to justify why men over 25 should not be attracted to women under 25. But if brain development is really what they are concerned about, why aren't they equally disturbed when someone dates a senior citizen? Aging has been linked and established to cause a sharp decline in cognitive function. It's one of the reasons why the elderly are so susceptible to cons and scam artist that younger people wouldn't so easily fall for. A normally functioning 15-24 year old is likely easily cognitively superior to a normally functioning elderly person, let alone one with dementia.

In essence, it would make more sense to say that this 31 year old man dating this 91 year old woman
Is taking advantage of her more so than it would if he were dating a 15-24 year old if you're using cognitive ability as the measuring stick. At 15-24, your cognitive abilities are at or close to their prime, as good as they're going to get. At 91, they are massively downhill compared to what they were 70 years earlier.
