Do you believe a 24 years old dating a 18 years old is unethical?


I was listening to that lady and I think she got a point what is your opinion about it? It is kind of an extreme age gap :o

Wtf? I mean as a 32 years old, I personally would not feel comfortable dating a 18 years old, but 18 and 24 is very common where I am and I don't have a problem with it. Is it american puritanism because for some weird reasons you guys cannot enter bars at 18?

Just reading the title of the video made me lose brain cells.

Can someone watch that dumb video for me so I don't have to?

I could understand to an extent if she was against something like 45 and 18, but come on 6 years!

No but you know he's only after some smashing. She's 18 and probably doesn't know shit so she's boring to talk to. Not that 24 is much better but at least they can buy alcohol and be less boring.

An extreme age gap to me is how my dad was. My mom was 32 when he was 70 when I was born.

Years later after he and mom split, he was sleeping with a 28 year old when he was 90.

24 and 18 isnt unusual at all in Canada, but some states have Romeo and Juliet laws so I guess thats where these opinions come from.

You can buy alcohol at 18(or 19 for some provinces in Canada for example) almost literally everywhere if you are not american.

If you have to use drugs to be interesting that's totally on you tbh.

And you can't generalize everyone like that. I'm pretty sure LeBron James was a super interesting person when he was 18 for example.

Serious question to americans : is age gap puritanism that common in your country or is it a small portion of the wokesplaining population? Because I have seen a lot of questionable takes on this lately and almost everytime I click on the profiles of those stupid takes, they are americans.

This. This only sounds weird because of the proximity to the "not adult/adult" line.

we have an obsession due to shows like To Catch a Predator and Jerry Springer and such.

we discuss it because we find perverted sick enjoyment in the drama.

i also think there is a sick, twisted incel segment of society that hyperfocuses on this issue

That's weird to me. Most people in Canada don't give a fuck. We have a french canadian reality show with a couple with a 13 years age gap and nobody gives a fuck.

I mean Chris hansen usually pretend to be 13 most of the time I think? I think it's dumb to put consensual adults with the people Chris go after.

Lol i'm 24 atm (25 in a few months) and sometimes I wonder what would it be like to date a 18 year old....

Personally, it depends on how mature the women is but in my life, I don't think i'll ever date a 18-20 year old.

They are...

-Barely just starting their own life.
-Mostly very immature... heck, I'm still immature and act like a manchild today!
-Going to college to experience and meet brand new people (including meeting new guys)

Also, I live near a high school abd it's crazy that most 18-20 year olds still look like little kids.. yikes. Heck I even look young and people still think i'm a high school student.. ffs....

It's kind of sexist too because people act like the 18 year old woman is incapable of making her own decisions. Women that prefer older men are not uncommon and if thats their preference then leave then alone.

True, most of the time they do act like the 18 years girl is an idiot and are less judgemental when it's the other way around.

She's 17 in his dream. She's 24 in real life.

Anyway, 24 and 18 is a huge difference in life experience. 18 is 3/4 of his age. They're an entire college education apart. 68 and 74 is a completely different discussion, since once you hit ~30 everyone's basically completely matured as a person.

So the thing I want to bring up here is this: A lot of people say "24 and 18 isn't weird at all since there's no law against it". Similarly, somewhere where the AoC is 18, people would say that 17 and 19 is a complete moral failing and that the 19 y/o is a pedophile, even though they're basically at the same point in life. To a lot of people, 18 is this magical number, where when you're below it, you're a little baby child with no idea of anything, but the MOMENT you turn 18 everything's fair game, you're a complete person, and you can totally have everything in common and have a normal relationship with a 25/30/35/40 y/o.

Probably not unethical but a little weird. I don't think a grown-ass 24 year old would enjoy being with an 18 year old unless he's a manchild. A lot of growth happens in those years.

I agree with this post pretty much exactly. I'm only 25 but the idea of spending time with some dumb kid right out of high school sounds extremely unpleasant. Users here think 18 is a magic number where someone immediately goes from a kid to an adult but it's more complicated than that.

Not necessarially. It's a red flag, and the parents of the 18 year old may want to grill the 24 year old a bit more than a normal relationship, but it's not in and of itself a problem. 18 is an age for easy prey by older guys that want girls young and naive but don't want to risk the statutory charges, and there's no data dump at 18 to impart the needed common sense to avoid abusive relationships. But at the same time, it's not exactly a relationship so differently generational you would assume something was up somewhere. It's close enough to still be into the same things and have mostly the same values, so it's easily a workable relationship.

Just out of curiosity. Are you americans? I genuinely wonder due to how much people don't give a fuck here about that small age gap.
