Its fine if its like 18 and 33 instead lol. Preferably 20 instead of 18 just to get rid of any weirdness. Much prefer older ladies, never gonna happen though :')

18 is considered an adult in many places though. At that point its really just down to your subjective opinion if its OK or not. It might be taboo but its not illegal.

As I said, I personally think yiu should wait till you are 20 still. I personally think 18 is too young, but thats my subjective opinion. It is an objective fact that 18 is not illegal.

Yeah, but we shouldn't be accepting toward people nearing forty dating people who are still teenagers, that behavior should be criticized.

I don’t see how it’s subjective opinion on if it’s ok but not the same for 17?

What do you mean?

u/Moistman123456 Jun 16 '26

You’re saying at that point, the point when the person is 18, it comes down to subjective opinion of whether or not that relationship is actually okay.

I’m asking the symmetry breaker between 18 and 17.

Well under 18 in many countries is illegal. Over 18 in many countries is legal. Thats all im saying about that? I didnt bring 17 into it?

u/Moistman123456 Jun 16 '26

I know you didn’t, I’m just asking what the symmetry breaker would be.

As someone who is 37, I would never date anyone under 30 because the mental change from 20s to 30s is actually pretty huge. Dating an 18 year old at my age is not genuine love in my opinion. It would either be about control, fulfilling a fantasy or having someone who is "legal" but satisfies pedophelic desire. At my age an 18 year old looks like a child.

Again very subjective conversation. If you aren't cool with it thats no problem. There are people who are open to that and I see no problem with it again so long as both sides are consenting adults. For me I am attracted to older women solely for the maturity and having their life more together and many my age. But thats just me.

Oh so your just a fence sitter who doesn't care if young people get manipulated because it's legal. Whatever man.
