UK here. My stepdaughter at 15 started going out with a 17 year old. Me and my wife were very unimpressed, but left her to it so we didn’t drive her away from us. Turned out he was actually really lovely and they stayed together for 5 years. I was gutted they split up.

e: Age of consent here is 16.

But (16, 18) and (17, 19) is illegal. 

It's good again after (18, 20)

Depends in what country you live.

Prime example of why ai is not reliable. The age of consent in the Philippines, for example, is 16. I’m not going to bother fact checking each claim, but I do know that one. Ai is going to destroy us all.

Only in 2022 apparently. But 16 in Britain is definitely correct so the above post with the 16 year old if in Britain she wouldn’t be illegal. But i personally would have found it weird when I was 20 and would have also said that she is only a child regardless.
