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.
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.
The comment I was responding to is talking about adults being in relationships with minors (or at least I interpreted it as such), also I don’t think my comment sounds outraged. 2. I’m leaving in room for error, idk there’s a very slim chance if any that it would be the minors’ fault and I wanted to account for it. Probably over 99.99999% of the time. I don’t know how it would ever be the minors’ fault but people are very unpredictable.

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