I know that if someone tells me they're only 17, I'm no longer interested because they're a child. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. And I don't understand how people over a certain age can try to talk to me, "the adult teenager." Again, not sure what you're trying to prove. I won't talk to anyone younger than me, and I feel like anyone over maybe 24 who tries to talk to me is predatory. Try again.
18 is a legal adult. 17 is a child. I don't date anyone younger than me, but the fact that an 18-year-old is an adult is what makes it morally okay. I'm not speaking for any country where adult age may be lower, because I'm used to it being 18, and nothing lower feels right to me.
I never said I think everyone older is predatory. I just don't see why anyone over a certain age would want a teenager. Or why a 27-year-old would want a 20-year-old. Date someone around your own age. I don't have much in common with a 30-year-old.
Except my method is working great for me. I'm not dating anyone younger than me or anyone that I deem too old, and I'm pretty happy about it. Just say you want to date kids and go.
A child is defined both as someone who hasn't reached puberty as someone below the age of legal majority. A 17-year-old is a child.
I never said everything legal is moral. I said THIS is legal, which makes it moral. This conversation isn't about every single legal thing.
Yes, I do believe that the 40-year-olds who want to be involved with me in that way are predatory.
No, only the ones who want to be romantically involved with children. But people like that will jump through hoops to justify their attraction to kids, so I'm done.
When I was at school anyone who dated even just a couple of years younger than them was called a nonce pretty much daily.
Now that I'm in my 30s I fully recognise how utterly fucking retarded it is to care about age gaps between adults, as well as how fucking retarded people in their late teens/early 20s are for worrying about who other adults are fucking.

Way too young, obviously it needs to be in the triple digit range.

There are many learned people who say that 9 is an appropriate age for consummation of a marriage in the eyes of God.

Lol no. Dollars to donuts you can't tell the difference between a 17 and an 18 year old just by talking to them
Said the adult teenager.

No they're not. Only the most backwards and ridiculous countries would call a 17 year old a child
And what makes a 17 wrong to date but an 18 year old ok? Morally I mean.
That would be hilarious if it wasn't so said. You're 19 and think everyone older then you is predatory and everyone younger is a child
How about you take another shot at developing rules for social interactions, because you seem to fucked up the first try

No 17 is a minor. In most countries 17 year olds have many of the same rights as adults.
So something being legal makes it moral now? Do I even need to bring up all the horrifically immoral things that are legal?
No just the vast majority of them
I imagine for the same reasons a 20 year would want to fuck a 20 year old you angsty America
Of course it does
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE everyone who disagrees with random arbitrary age limits is a PEDOPHILES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Tbf as a 24 year old the idea of dating someone who can't drink is revolting.
1 ineedmorealts 2018-06-04
lol imagine living in a shithole were 18 year olds can't drink

Oh, look: someone telling strangers to shut up for internet points. Original.

I am 4 years old. Everyone younger than 3 is literally a toddler to me now.
... okay, where exactly is the problem here?

I'm old as fuck and I have to come here to feel like I'm finding my level of immaturity.
1 VidiotGamer 2018-06-04
I unironically would like to gas everyone below the age of 30 and just start over. Quite literally the most worthless generation we've ever produced.
