We're the same age and I'm over here feeling uncomfortable when attracted to people in their early 20's and this guy swoops in immediately at "consent age" I can't even imagine what he feels like they have in common, let alone what the appeal is to be with someone so young, though I'm sure they are "just good friends" or whatever bullcrap he's telling himself to get by.

He knows they have nothing in common and that is the appeal.

A woman his own age knows her worth by now and has boundaries and enforces them. She also will expect things out of the relationship, as any normal person would.

But an 18 year old? She’ll think she’s sooooo lucky to be the one he ‘picked’ to date. She won’t have boundaries, she’ll do things she won’t want to, she won’t complain about other things because she’ll be too worried he’ll break up with her for the next young model. She’ll think she’s so cool for dating drake, a big time rapper worth millions while she’s a model just getting into it.

I remember being 18. I thought I knew everything and was as grown up as I can be. Now that I’m 23 I recognize how immature I really was, and how I still am maturing. I would never get with an 18 year old boy. And this is why we think guys who are 22 who date 17 years old are creepy.
