Uncalled for. What is wrong with 37 and 26? I am 44 and my girlfriend is 28. I assume you have a problem with that. I wasn't purposefully pursuing her and we had been friends for 3 years first. It just seemed right. Who are you to judge?

what about any of this have to do with exploting age of consent laws?

TIL: following a law = exploiting that law.

It's understandable if people close to that age themself do it. Like (for context legal age is 16, not 18, where I live), if a 19 year old was taking an "it's fine to do them the day they turn 16" approach, I wouldn't think twice about it - 19 and 15 really isn't that bad. When a 25 year old does the same thing though? Yeah, they're a pedoph--- sorry, "ephebophile".

Guys with no game: Those guys succeeding with young adult women are predators. >:(

the fact that you think older men picking up younger women is a sign of advanced game is very telling

Boys should be with girls. Men with women. 18 year old girls are too vulnerable to be picked up by you wise 30 year old+ men. You have nothing in common with 18 year olds.

That's a pretty ignorant and ethnocentric thing to say. In other cultures, it's common for women to marry older men who can give them financial security.

You ripped into someone 37 married to a 26 year old, so you went there

I don't understand why people try to use this complete nonsense of an argument.

You had a myspace.

No, I didn't, and your argument is still nonsense. Not having the same amount of life experience and not having anything in common are not even remotely the same thing.

Agreed. You may have different pop culture references and such, but your beliefs and interests can be similar

I will admit that it drives me crazy that my gf doesn't get my 80s and 90s references, but if that is my biggest issue...

If a 30 year old+ man is immature it still doesnt excuse him dating 18 year olds. He had his chance when he was younger. Why pursue 18 year olds and not 22 year old+ women? I dont get the fascination with 18 year olds.

It's like you literally can't understand the concept of common interests and how they don't require similar life experience.

Why is this a constant discussion on this board

Because some trolls want to mark people and try to get them suspended or banned if they slip and say something that might upset the mods (and we know what upsets the mods around here).

Why not pursue both, exactly?

Prudish Americans or trolls. Also, American laws do not apply worldwide.

Sure you can hang with a typical 18 year old but its unlikely that you dont realize that you are too different from them. Are we talking about people who are exceptions?

No, at the moment we're talking about how you don't seem to grasp what "common interests" means and how people of all ages can share them.

You're right. How did I not consider a scenario like the 18 year who came out of a coma 10 years later dating a college freshman after going back to school when forming my opinion on age of consent and those who seek to exploit it? forgive me.

Ok

But where is the dividing line of when it does become okay? Is it an age hugher than 18? Is it a certain age gap? Is it the Parks & Rec rule? I admit that someone in their 30s dating an 18 year seems creepy, but without making up some rule (and I hate arbitrary rules), it has to be taken on a case by case basis. How did they meet? Was the older one purposefully going so young or did it just happen? Do they actually truly like each other, or it just youth vs power/money?

Cool so you're down for me to drug her and have sex? You know, rape?

Right? Because you're bitching TC is upset it happened to them but you seem to be okay with your kid fucking whoever and claiming then that TC shouldn't be bitching he got raped.

Like seriously, your opinions are not just wrong but completely wrong. In no scenario do you get to argue 'it's ok to rape someone' and come off as right.

Jesus christ dude tone it down 80%

Case by case basis, with the majority of cases being fucking creepy/downright exploitive, formed my opinion on the matter.

theres a reason why those who seem perturbed by my stance have to conjure up these outlier scenarios, when it reality, significantly older people engaging in relations with barley legals are almost certainly finding them in situations one of them shouldnt be in, or are exploting a power dynamic.

it's like some of yall dont have women in your lives and are approaching this soley as an academic exercise. it's kinda wild

So this entire topic just comes down to wanting to project your worldview and hope that others give you some reassurance?

What a let down

expressing disdain at a general atmosphere of creepy behavior towards younger people in terms of views on sexual relations is starting an argument and demonstrates someone isnt well adjusted? what an odd take

Hit the gym, take a shower, get a clue. Then you wouldn't have to be so bitter towards others who have relationships.

So if you don't believe in a rule and it needs to be case by case, why assume they are all exploitative without knowing them?

For me, older guys who purposefully go after college age girls are creepy. If purposeful. But if it happens, it happens. There are plenty of ways for them to meet without preying.

And I can't speak for everyone else, but I do have a girlfriend. I was also married for almost 20 years and have 4 daughters, so it's not like I am not protective of women. I simply don't want to judge without knowledge of the situation.

So? But why 18 year olds? They have little dating experience and are really impressionable that even boys can attract them. Boys arent mature enough to attract older women, but men can. Men going after girls is creepy, dude. They have so much power so why should they abuse it on little girls. I think it should be every man's responsibility to not prey on girls. Leave it to the boys to do that, man.

nope, enjoy that 18 year old with all that maturity and wisdom and I'm sure you're looking for in someone who, maybe, has filed a tax return twice

How many times someone has filed a tax return is the most important aspect of a relationship.

Why should you want maturity (in a psychological sense, I'm assuming) and wisdom in a woman? Also, why do you think a 25, 30 or even 40 year old woman is mature and why should a man prefer a mature woman to have sex?

Not into old ladies. MILFs/kougars are hot, but their days are numbered. 18 year olds have better mileage, in the long term.

I think its okay if they have less or more dating experience than you, but if youre a grown ass man with tons of experience why would you want to go after someone with no dating experience.

Unless you have little experience yourself then maybe, maybe its okay? Nobody is stopping him and her from making it happen really.

TC posting so much ish he actually has me agreeing with Pepy. Sad.

"why should you want wisdom and maturity in the person you're having sexual/romantic relations with?"

@BeantownHero why not respond to my last post, as I am actually having a more serious discussion vs trading quips with random comments?

The overuse of the words kids/girls referring to adults while trying to belittle consenting adults having sexual relations is very telling.
