You know, Robin Williams was the reason that I started doing stand-up comedy? My personal hero. Knowing that he did this for Neelix, especially when he was getting a lot of hate? Robin is a saint. Also just a small thing because I wanted to honor the man...

I agree that you can’t really compare years to years here. They clearly mature mentally and physically faster. It is altogether weird still, but so is the basic concept of dating aliens from another species.
For me the problem isn't so much in the concept itself, but rather how casually it's treated by the writing. Almost nobody on the show ever delves deep at all into how strange it is from a human point of view. It's taken as read, and the audience is just left to stew in their own notions.
