https://nypost.com/2023/01/23/im-dating-a-23-year-old-woman-who-looks-like-an-8-year-old-girl/

A hunky travel blogger has hit back at claims he is creepy for dating a 23-year-old woman who looks like an 8-year-old girl. Dan Swygart, 26, recently began romancing reality star Shauna Rae whose growth was stunted due to treatment she received as a child for brain cancer. Rae who weighs 50 lbs and is 3f 10in tall is the subject of the TLC reality series, I Am Shauna Rae. Swygart recently shared several snaps with Rae on Instagram, before posting a video to the social media site vehemently defending their connection. Its long been a struggle for Rae to date, with the pint-sized personality previously telling The Post that shes underestimated and excluded because of her appearance. In his clip, Swygart revealed that he reached out to Rae with flowers after seeing the first season of her show. The pair soon met in person and went on several dates together. Its very important to remember that Shauna is an incredible 23-year-old woman who has a disability, he explained. So as you are building a connection with her, its important to acknowledge her disability and look past that and build it with who she is as an individual.

Swygart continued: As soon as you say that she cant have a real-world connection with someone else, you dehumanize her. She is a human being. She deserves to have relationships and connections with whoever she wants. Swygart who hails from the UK appears in the second season of I Am Shauna Rae, where he is seen forging a connection with the pint-sized star. But the Brit has been blasted by viewers, with someone saying he is sick for thinking of Rae as a legitimate love interest. Yes, she is 23, but she looks and talks like an eight-year-old. She also does not act like a mature woman. She is childlike, one critic claimed, according to The Mirror. If any man or woman can honestly say that they can see her as a sexual woman, they are either lying or sick. PERIOD, another allegedly stated, while a third described him as creepy. Last year, Rae spoke with The Post about her reality show and how shes constantly underestimated because she looks like a young girl. If you look at me, you see an 8-year-old, she stated. But I think if you take the time to look at the details in my face, in my hands, the maturity in my body and I think if you take the time to actually talk to me you really understand that Im a 23-year-old.

Was expecting a weeb that wanted a thousand year old loli, not an actual Chad.

That girl has a lot of tattoos and definitely looks older than 8. Nothing wrong here

Underage 23 y/o

She's said in the past that the guys into her are usually creeps who saw her as their fetish bait (legal child body) so I'd imagine that she knows the signs and this guy must not give off any of them. I don't have any issue with this if they don't. Everyone deserves happiness and to be loved for who they are as long as nobody's getting hurt.

I mean, there is no "winning" in this situation. Either no guy dates her in fear of looking like a pedo and she's alone for the rest of her life or someone does date her because he doesn't actually care about societal pressure and just takes all the shittiness that comes with it.

They seem happy, so good for them.

well now I'm sad

Anime fan bags 23 year old Loli

All jokes aside. She deserves to be happy and its a difficult relationship to have in public without getting judged or possibly attacked if shes not only dating short or similar diagnosed people. The pool shouldnt be smaller because of something she was born with.

Orrrr

Hes hot as fuck and she ignores those flags.

Either way, its sus but Idc enough to say more.

So does she have the body of an adult just really tiny, or does she literally have the body of a child?

These are not questions you should be asking.

my mom loves that show

this whole thing might seem weird but hey, from what i understand, they're both consenting adults who love each other. that's what should matter the most here... *shrugs*

Damn, he must destroy her in bed >_>

Yeah I understand, but you have to admit it's a little interesting.

People wouldn't be watching the show if it wasnt.

This nails it on the head.

She doesn't look 8. She's weird looking

nowadays i just laugh at lolmerica's take on age gaps (in this case it's not even a real age gap just a perceived one lmao). non-chronically online ppl understand that adults can date whoever the fuck they want

Wrong. The winning scenario is a 23yo guy that also looks like an 8 year old that dates her.

Im curious what folks who say stuff like this have to say about the I thought she was 18! defense in statutory rape cases. Which is the inverse of this situation but way more sympathetic imo.

Im sure the lady can make great friends. But no, everybody is not owed the same opportunities. Sometimes physical differences can be barriers to finding love. By default, anyone romantically attracted to her is suspicious.

If they wanna persist despite it, go on ahead. But it is definitely suspicious.

You seem to think your opinion on this is very important, but no, it's just a stupid take.

I got a male friend who is pushing 30 who has a similar illness(although he looks more like a teen than a little child) I feel bad because I 100% have seen people infantilizing him in my face

Does that apply to someone the same age with the same illness?

Yes.

Being attracted to kids isnt good.

Yall are literally doing the Japanese anime shit of But shes ACTUALLY an adult!

Best of luck to her but I don't think there's a scenario where I dont judge this dude negatively for dating someone who looks like an 8-year-old

So... let's say a 26 years old man with the same illness as her date her. Those two would mutually be pedo according to you?

They would both be suspicious, yes.

Im not gonna claim they are pedo. But I would need to know more info on why someone is in a romantic relationship with someone who resembles a child.

You cant just ignore sexual attraction in a relationship. And you cant tell me with a straight face that romantic relationships in general dont include sexual attraction.

As such, I would want to know why theres sexual attraction to someone who resembles a child. And how this evolved beyond just a good friendship.

And note, unlike some folks. I do not agree that everyone is deserving of the same opportunities of love. No one is owed love. If you drew a genetic short straw, thats life.

It isn't the same, though. In anime, the "she's actually an adult" loli both looks and acts like a child. Here, there's nothing to say that this girl has a child's mentality.

There's no way that dude isn't going to be judged but good for them if they're happy.

She's a real person, not an anime character. Shut the fuck up.

You sound fun at parties.

CE is the same place that would immediately call a 20 something woman a gold digger if she dated an 80 year old dude.

But suddenly everyone deserves love in this case lmao.

Yall wild.

Well, thats not true either. Gohololis exist for that distinction. inb4 Conflict posts about his tag for me

Conversely, ageplay exists in real life.

pretty much all there is to it

Hopefully cuttin_in_fam's takes in this topic are the worst that CE has to offer today. But the day is still young, unfortunately.
