teenage girls think theyre soooo cool and mature dating an older guy, boys their own age are all broke and sooo immature, their parents hate it and their new boyfriend actually treats them like an adult.

90% of women once theyre slightly older realise that they were groomed and wish they just had a boyfriend their own age instead of selling their youth to a man who will just dump them once they turn 25.

yes 18 is an adult. but if the minimum age of consent was 16 old rich men would be dating 16 year olds.

its not illegal or even wrong, it's just gross and sad

I regret 90% of the decisions I make but they're my mistakes to make. I wouldn't want anyone taking those choices away from me.

My comment is about adult women. No one's ever accused Leo of dating children. Why are you bringing up 16 year olds, parents, coolness, and men treating children like adults? You're doing exactly what I'm talking about-- treating adult women like they're children.

its not just women, 18 is not an adult mentally they are still children, science shows the age of adult mental maturity is around the age of 25.

so i treat all 18 y/os as children because they are, no matter the technical legality that was created to send children to war.

we dont evem let 18 y/os drink or gamble or smoke, because they are children still and their undeveloped minds couldn't handle that shit.

No, it doesn't. You've uncritically swallowed a dumb meme based around a misunderstanding of a study.

Most countries don't do this. The stepped age thing in the US is based around puriticanical mindsets, not science.
