I feel like a lot of people here have nuanced opinions on it. It's just there's more of the ones hounding over young girls those those that have nuanced opinions on it >_>. They're usually on an undercover version of "Just shut up and stop making me try to understand why I am how I am".

Most the time people pry into those not completely neglectful of why some like big age gaps in their relationships, they have a lot of nuanced takes. Because, there's no risk in diving into yourself when you're not potentially the weirdo lol. But, you see a lot of responses that are people very obviously not wanting to understand why exactly they find older women off putting and the youngest women they can legally say they're attracted to on record the most desirable.

I mean, when you're going by the legal limit and that's all you stand on. You're pretty much saying if 15-16 was legal, you'd also move your line to that. You're admittingly not thinking for yourself when you're only retort is that the law says you can. Is that not gross?

Technically, in some states, 16 is legal That said, they usually still have other laws attached to it. While its legal, its sometimes legal to only a certain age for the other partner But thats why we make laws. You have to draw the legal line somewhere Why make a law making the legal age 18, but then tell them its still gross if that date an adult thats much older. The problem is its will always end up weird. BecIse it the legal age was 20, you would then have people saying the same things since that would be the new legal age. The problem is almost never the age itself. But the fact that someone older is dating someone who just turned legal. And thats probably the main problem No matter what, people will always be mad one way or the other But the law states what it states for a reason If the law said it could be younger, it would be for a reason. And tbf, on somewhat recent history, it was technically younger. Girls would actually get married pretty young. Weve moved the age up. Not matter what, older people would be having sex with people just reaching legal age, even if the legal age was older Meaning its will still be a problem is the legal age was 20 since when older people have sex with 20 year olds, people will also say its gross since they just reached legal age

That said, Im not sure there is a reason to figure out why someone might Ike someone in the age range of 18-22 in stead of someone their age And its not that many people always find older women off-putting Many younger guys date or have sex with cougars Everyone has their preferences
