Current Events > Is it acceptable for a 16 yo to date a woman in their 20s?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If they're in a state where it's legal. This one 27 yo dude in my trade school is legit talking about how his 16 yo cousin is dating his 26 yo ex and he's mad pissed, rambling "Banging hot chicks in their 20s? Stupid kid. I didn't get to do any of that shit when I was 16" as if he's jealous

And Justin Timberlake dated Fergie when he was 16 and she was 23. o_0 I'm not saying it's right, but if two people are in love and they're not breaking any laws, who am I to judge?

Is anyone going to touch this?

---

No that's gross. My brother dated a 21 year old when he was 16, she wasn't even hot and loved to bang high schoolers after getting them drunk at her house. Shits fucked up when we think about it now.

---

The law is pretty cut and dry about this one.

Also my daughter is 16 and the idea of hooking up with a girl her age alone makes me feel like a dirtball creep.

Lastly, I prefer grown women with real curves and stretchmarks. Teenie boppers don't offer any of that.

Sure, it can be wrong, but it's not always predatory like that.

There is no specific way for an age to look. Puberty affects everyone differently. A 16 yo can look like the traditional grown adult, and a grown adult can look like the traditional 16 yo.

When the genders are flipped you don't get a whole lot of "Smh, this chick can't get a real man her own age so she has to resort to preying on a literal child!"

Most people seem to support it and some even praise the guy for being able to bed an older woman. Funny how that works, considering most would agree that males are more immature on average.

Apparently there is a 20 year old woman going out with a 13 year old on youtube and no one does anything about it.

Not 100% sure she's 20. Give or take 2 years. It's wrong regardless

That's a kid. A child.
What can a 16 year old possibly offer?

Not a small child; there's no reason to infantilize them. And there generally isn't a grand difference in maturity between a 16 yo and an 18 yo; not like people magically change at 18. If you do dumb shit at 16 you will probably do dumb shit at 18.

You're stereotyping them. There are 16 yos who can be fairly mature, honestly.

I don't know why you would want someone that young unless you need to prey on their inexperience to actually have a relationship. It wouldn't surprise me if men her age don't want to deal with her since she's probably immature, herself.

Again with the stereotyping. You're assuming that all 16 yos are immature and inexperienced. And that maturity and experience are directly linked with age.

See, not even in a topic about the subject do people care that a pedophile is on Youtube.

This deserves a "stay the fuck away from my family" response. You better be trolling man.

I'm not saying that I would go for a 16 yo; I wouldn't. But it's a fact that age isn't directly linked to maturity and experience. 16 yos can be mature and experienced; the traditional one isn't, but some are. And there really isn't a grand difference between 16 and 18. People don't magically change the moment they hit an arbitrary age that society deems acceptable.

The truth is that things like age of consent and legal adulthood are ultimately arbitrary. If this conversation makes you flip out, then you're probably in denial about something.

Chances are they are inexperienced since they're not even legally adults in the States. They're in a vastly different stage in life compared to someone in their mid to late 20s.

You're right about it not being magic. Because it's 2 years of important brain growth and social growth from their surroundings.

LOL, good luck getting a mortgage or going to places where you have to be 21+ to enter when you're 16. Your brain also isn't fully developed until you're around 25.

You're in denial. Most 18 yos are not even mature or experienced to begin with. There really isn't a grand difference between 16 and 18. Most qualify as being dumb, immature kids.

If you're gonna bring up neurological development, you should argue that the age of consent should be 25. By that logic, it's wrong for even 21 yos to bang.

young adults you mean? they shouldnt hang out with genie men

Just face it, people. Legal adulthood and age of consent are both arbitrary. A line does need to be drawn to protect minors, but it's silly to act like every instance of a grown adult dating a minor is totally wrong.

And I'm not advocating for grown adults to date minors. To be honest, the more I think about this subject, the more I wonder if it would be best for someone to be asexual. That's probably the most objective approach to sex and romance; don't give a shit about any of it.

Don't get me wrong, son. If you're the kind of person who thinks that people magically change at 18, keep thinking that way. I wouldn't want you to be having an existential crisis or anything. But clearly you yourself aren't mature enough to handle this discussion.
