When I was 14 I got turned down by a friend who proceeded to date a 27 year old man.
Gross.
Be a little nicer to them, they got rejected for some old dude!
Hah. I know likely comedic misunderstanding but, in case it was not clear, the 27-year-old pedo was the gross one.
Don’t worry, I got what you meant. I assume the other poster did as well, but had to make the joke haha.
They deserved it. They should have known to wait 13 years to date a 14 year old. The equation is 1/2 your age +1.
… The formula is 1/2 your age + 7 tho.
So for that 27 year old dating a teenager it would certainly not be okay. 27/2=13.5+7 which i would generously round down to 20 years of appropriate minimum age.
I think they’re being sarcastic…
27/2+1=14,5 so don’t think i can agree with this ancient wisdom.
They got the formula wrong.
Half your age +7 is the correct one. Works surprisingly well.
it’s transcended “works well” to “has literally become the cultural standard,” IMO.
My wife’s sister dated a guy in his 30s when she was 19.
So much trauma for a decade.
I was groomed by a guy in his 40s when I was 16 to 18. He was also suspected to have sexually abused younger kids. I’ve been in a relationship with my current partner who’s my age for over a decade now. The abuser knew very well how to take advantage of vulnerable girls. And yes. That trauma will stay with me. I still have nightmares. For the first year with my partner I would frequently wake up from these nightmares and be so relieved to be next to my partner to comfort me. I found out very recently that the asshole is still out and about, but got cancer, so there’s some karma there.
I’m sure that if I had better friends and wasn’t so lonely and had a better situation at home I wouldn’t have fallen for this. These abuser really know how to pick their victims.

Are you seriously slut shaming a 14-year-old who was groomed by a 27-year-old? Using a sexist misconception no less?
That’s fucked up
Maybe they were referring to the penis side of the groomer?
One can only hope.
15 years of marriage and four kids later, there’s no noticeable difference in vagina clearance. Please stop saying this shit.
↑ mods pls ban
Been a snitch your whole life ?
You been a misogynist fuck your whole life?
Brother, your comment having been removed has nothing to do with someone asking for you to be banned. Back off
FYI - real vaginas don’t stretch like flesh lights.
That’s not how it works.
being a girl is scary cuz the moment you turn 13, creepy men are ogling at you
Oh honey, the creeps are sadly ogling you well before 13… Learn to stab.
I learned a lot about women wearing ice pick-sized hair pins in their hats during the early 20th century for this very purpose.
There was even a song called Never Go Walking Without Your Hatpin.
Can confirm, had my first sexual encounter when I was 5 and he was 18.
Fuck I am so, so sorry. That is so fucked up and way too fucking common.
Fucking great band.
For girls, it isn’t the age, it is when they start developing breasts
yea, i said 13 to mirror the post, but you’re right
My husband kicked me out once he realized flashing his money at 19 year olds worked. The teenagers didn’t ask him to stop playing FIFA and walk his dogs.
What an idiot.
Has he put himself on the poor house yet by spending all of his money to appease the young women he wanted a booty call from?
Because that kind of behavior seems to be rather expensive.
Could be a gay couple and it’s young men
True. I made an assumption, you have a point.
Thank god we’ve achieved clarity after addressing the assumption
No idea. He gave 5k to one before he kicked me out. What was our house is for sale now though.
I remember how creepy it was to see that once the girls in my class got boobs (around 8th grade, 13-14 yo) full on adults would start hitting on them. I recall seeing a few class mates in a local park, all 3 were 13 I think, they still looked like little girls, it’s just that now they had boobs and wore bras. So I see these 3 girls, each sitting in the lap of an 18-20 yo dude, and making out…
As a kid I recall seeing it and thinking “wtf is wrong with those guys?”
As an adult I wonder wtf the fuck is wrong with those guys.
If “he’s got a car and he’s dead mature, like” is your main selling point, you need a better selling point. And to not be a fucking nonce.
In the 90s we didn’t even know what a paedophile was. I don’t recall even seeing that word before Sarah Payne was murdered.
It took a while for UK residents to get used to this new exciting word.
Hopefully today’s kids are a bit more aware…
Oh wow that article’s a blast from the past
jfc what’s wrong with people
I live in a country where the age of consent is 14, and this shit is still pretty common. I voted Fidesz because I thought they’d fix the situation, by rising it. They added a close-in-age exception, so if you’re 17, you can prey on 12 year olds.
I hope that’s the last time you vote Fidesz
Yeah, it was 2010. My most regretted action.
The day that change was announced, I was so angry, I shaked and looked like that veiny guy in the meme, also didn’t sleep a single minute that night.
I’m sorry you had to deal with that! Wishing the best for 2026!
This is actually a destabilizing piece of society. Younger men become disaffected when older men, who are better partners, pick up much younger women (I am talking only about adults.). Younger women are then competing with older women for more established men, which can destroy families.
Largely, we have fetishized youth so much that this isn’t something that will correct itself. I suppose the standards of beauty can change again, as they always do, but for now we are stuck with a real problem.
This is what wars are for. Young men slaughter each other while old men bang the young women.
I thought wars were for oil?
*lube
Wars seem to predate oil by … a few thousand years.
Doesn’t oil just kinda happen in part of Canada?
As in, at the surface and readily used? Yes and no. Sure, there was some amount of oil at the surface, but it’s very low grade and mixed into the soil. This presentation has an image on the first page to give you an idea of what they’re starting with. It looks more like asphalt than oil (and is very similar). In fact, this stuff is so difficult to extract that, even though it was known about in the 18th century (by Western civilization), it wasn’t mined until 1960.
You’re not wrong, but I would call out a point of clarity, that youth is far more fetishized for women.
I’m a dude, but as far as I can tell, guys need a bit of luck in the looks category (not the most important thing, but not looking disfigured generally helps), ambition, and success (mainly money). I had terrible luck with women. I’m not the best looking guy out there but I’m certainly not the worst either… And I could find relationships, but it always quickly fell apart. Once I decided to improve upon myself, and go to college in the pursuit of a well paying job, I found that my ambition was generally enough to keep people’s attention, romantically.
Gross. Accurate. Took me way too long to understand why my friend’s dad was acting the way he was around 13-17. Decades later and it still sickens me.
competing with grown men
competing with grown conservatives. the list is almost to 1500 examples.
Question: Oh, you think conservatives are pedophiles? Give me 1,500 examples.
Answer: (your comment)
In school, when I was 13, one of my friends was “dating” a 19 year old. I vividly remember how cool we all thought this was. Reflecting on it makes me feel sick.
Back when I was 13 I was jealous because the “worldly” older guys got the girls …but the time I was that worldly age, I couldn’t believe how gross the guys looking at young teens were.
Now I’m old and everyone under 30 looks way too young…as it should.
I was hanging out with this girl my age in high school a lot, we were both 17, I thought it was going well, then some full grown adult said she was pretty at Walmart and I had to move on with my life.
One thing I HATE about military bases. All the E1 soldiers wandering the local high schools looking for girls. Was really sickening
Bro it was such a shit show when I was growing up.
Just military bros spending their entire military paycheck on a mustang and picking up high school girls.
Still remember my friend crying/begging for help because military bro didn’t get sex and wanted to beat her up. And this dirtbag was going to get shipped with a rifle to some brown country.
Members of Congress, clergymen, the fucking PRESIDENT. What’s a boy to do!?
Still remember my middle school girlfriend brag about cheating on me and fucking guys that were buying her beer. Would have been nice to get authorities involved if I had anyone to talk to and wasn’t being neglected and abused at home. Kind of wild to lose hope in people at the age of 12.
Bad times.
Don’t hang around so many republicans and the competition would thin out.
It’s hard for 13 year olds to emigrate.
But they can get deported easily
While rape culture is huge among Republicans and dating young women is more popular among them, this issue is far more vast and definitely involves men across the political spectrum.
Until this obsession with youth=beauty and women under 130lbs being the beauty standard changes, this will still be a problem.
I’m not giving democrats or anyone a pass on this. I just really hate republicans.
Understandable!
At college, there were 16 and 17 year old girls with boyfriends in their twenties. Even at the time, I thought that was weird.
At least I never heard about anything younger than that.
I know a guy who ended up in bed with a twelve year old. She didn’t look twelve and didn’t act twelve. He ended up going in to the military to flee. He didn’t have to worry because of course this same girl ended up pregnant in less than a year.
Her story was all too common. She had been abused and trafficked from a very young age and had associated approval through sex. When this all came out her mom and step dad faced no consequences. They went out of their way to try to punish her. She ended up getting court ordered counseling which despite the parents continuing to try to interfere she got better.
She eventually ended up married to a pretty decent guy and they left for parts unknown a few years later. I don’t think she was quite eighteen when they left.
The scumbag parents are still around. They are considered fine christians in the community. After all they asked god for forgiveness. Not their victim mind you but god, so its all okay.
Some girl when I was in middle school, 14ish, used to get picked up by some tatted up 20 something, pretty sure he was at least 25 but no idea. We thought he was like an uncle or something. Nope, turns out he was her boyfriend. Pretty sure that guy went to prison for meth related activities.
Pretty sure that guy went to prison for math related activities.
I need to sleep
So did the meth guy, but for different reasons
He calculated the odds, but boy he was bad at math.
That’s legal in most states, but not weird in none of them.
Yeah, it’s legal here.
One of the dudes in my gay group tonight:
“My momma cleaned hunter’s cabins and those hunters were real nice men if you know what I mean.”
He was talking about a time when he was early teens.
So it’s not just girls who get this treatment! If that makes you feel any more egalitarian.
“My momma cleaned hunter’s cabins and those hunters were real nice men if you know what I mean.”
I’m a bit dense. They were “nice” to each other, or “nice” to him, or they were actually nice looking, or…?
They would have sex with him.
Ah okay – as in, he seemed to like it(?) but he was also way too young for it to have been having it
Today I learned hunters are all gay
