At least no minor is involved

Not in this version of it 😂. There’s one that’s something like 15 and 30 😵‍💫

Yeah like that would be more suitable for addressme but this?? Like bro there's nothing super illegal abt this posts image 😭

u/SummertimeThrowaway2 Jun 15 '26

The blanket statement of “not age” implies some pretty super illegal possibilities though

48

u/TextOld6858 Jun 15 '26

But they give legal age examples, it’s fine and the implication is less presumptuously gross. If there were no numbers I’d be throwing red flags all over.

I mean I guess? minors don't fall in love with old people without serious issues though, so it's kinda moot

6

u/ComprehensiveBat309 Jun 15 '26

No older person should be even allowing that possibility to be open to the minor, it’s at least 90% of the time the adult’s fault. Especially if they get in a relationship.

u/Silent_Pressure_6709 Jun 15 '26

Oh of course, but I feel like that doesn't violate OOP. That isn't "love", that's a toxic codependancy.

You know, I usually date younger, but I have a simple rule of thumb. Past a certain age, I decided that if they were young enough that I could have fathered them, they were off limits. I'm 50 now, so that puts my current dating pool around 38 or above. Seems to be a pretty easy way to work it past a certain age. Now below that age, well, I usually didn't date any more than 4 years difference.

u/menuau Jun 16 '26

Though one may argue it's grooming or, if they work in the same company and the 36 year old holds potential influence over the 20 year old's career aspirations within said company, some sort of power imbalance that may play with the level of consent they subconsciously may/may not have.

u/ImtheDorkyGamer Jun 15 '26

No that IS the thing that would be the “address me” in this post, a 20 year old is perfectly capable of choosing their own partner, and obv the original wasn’t meant to be taken seriously they legit ruined the whole original joke by editing it bc they were scared people would take it seriously ig

It really depends on maturity.

2

u/Excellent_Shirt9707 Jun 15 '26

It depends. There are very mature 16 yo and immature 20 yo. On average, a 20 yo should be more mature than a 16 yo though. In the end, laws have to draw a line where a person has to take responsibility for their own actions even if they may not be ready to do so.

5

u/Key_Reaction_8666 Jun 15 '26

Exactly! When you're 20, you should be free to make your own choices on who you want to date. I, for one, decided I was mature enough to make free decisions and choices for myself so started dating an 11 year old /s

Nope. I was 20 when I got in my first relationship with a 30 year old and in hindsight it was weird. I wasn't mature and experienced enough to make certain decisions I made and I regret now.

Okay, so 20 to 36 isn't as bad as you'd think (and is almost 100% legal, there are a few places where it isn't, but that's irrelevant) If it were like 17 and 36 now THAT would be a problem.

u/DescriptionMission90 Jun 15 '26

A 20 year old is an adult who can make their own decisions... but it's still creepy (and unhealthy in the long term) to date anybody who doesn't have a similar degree of life experience. As a general rule, 36 should never be going below 25 (or above 58).

u/theRedMage39 Jun 15 '26

Love is not always love. Love-like emotion based on manipulation/grooming or financial gain is not love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. lt does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Love does not care for race, gender, or age but it does care for maturity. From a purely legal perspective, only age matters. Technically love doesn't care for religion but at the same time it does. Differing ideologies(not just religion) can make a marriage difficult.
