No link. I'd like to know who conducted this study. The Harvey Weinstein Institute? The Clinton Foundation? LMAO
I think it is different if you fall for someone who is 16 and looks like she is 23 or if you traffic and target 13 year olds, and host freak off parties.
Either way, you are targeting girls. Anyone 20 and older should be able to hold a conversation with a 16 year-old and tell pretty quickly that she is not 23. Or even 20. Related, so many dudes are afraid of women.
When I hear about guys like RKelly who habitually sleep with underage girls, I'm like don't you have to talk to that chic at some point? At least some pillow talk. Who wants to have a conversation with a 15 year old?
Yes - the reality is that the situation is complicated. Society as a whole at this point doesn't have any interest in knowing the causes and differences in sexual abuse and grooming. To me - it is simple, as I have gotten older, the age of women I am attracted to has gotten older as well. It isn't perfect, I am nearly 50 and there are some women in their mid 30's I am attracted to physically, but it never goes beyond that really. When I was younger I assumed that what I would be attracted to would be static based on society, so I figured because I was attracted to 18 years old at 19 years old, that I would always be attracted to 18 years old. Glady, that hasn't been the case - but I know that there are people that are nearly 50 and are attracted to 18 year olds. That must be a terrible existance/
Men who do not want to be questioned and only want a compliant partner that will do anything they want and at anytime they want - it is a form of control.
Yes there are 15 year olds that mature early that are physically attractive. That being said, I'm not attracted to them because I'm not into victimizing young girls. Those people are predators.
I find college girls physically attractive, but I have a hard time connecting to them. I feel like I'm fathering them since that's how old my daughter is. I can definitely date someone younger but 30 is probably the cut off. I need them to be able to share their experiences with me that isn't getting wasted at a party or a show.
[AGE/2 + 7] is the safe rule to follow. In my late 30's, I got involved with a +8 for a short period of time. I even told her I didn't think it was the best idea due to the age gap, but she insisted we give it a try. It quickly devolved. When I think of 25 and under, all I can think of is the immaturity. Observing p*rn patterns over the decades can give clues about society's mindset. In my late teens, 'barely legal' was a popular genre in p*rn. Now we have weird **** like step-family/sibling p*rn. Now that I am in my 40's, barely legal is borderline disgusting. But society says its ok for a 50 year old to have sex with an 18 year old, but a 21 year old having sex with a 15 year old is pedophilia and the 21 year old will have to register as a sex offender for life. The most disgusting part to Epstein is the sex trafficking. 50 year old bill clinton was playing with a 22 year old intern in the whitehouse. If he didn't understand those boundaries, is there any reason to think a 'barely illegal' prostitute was beneath him?
